What is Tumblr exactly? It’s a micro-blogging website that allows users to upload images, text and video to personally designed page. Each user creates their special URL and blog name. Tumblr not only creates a free website of sorts for businesses, but it also provides tons of networking opportunities. Businesses can tag entries with appropriate hashtags that other users can search. It also helps with SEO, Google Search Engine Optimization for businesses. For example, if our NY commercial photographers posted an image from a photo shoot we would use that brand’s name as a hashtag so other users who follow that brand could see our photos. Also, Tumblr is a great place for submissions. To garner a larger audience, search for pages that host open submissions that correspond to your business. That way, if the host loves your photos, they will reblog them and share them with all their followers. Think of it as a way of the 21st Century’s word of mouth strategy.
