9# Microstock Series - Keywords

Apart from the creative barriers of photography a Microstock photographer has to also face another barrier...the dreaded Key wording process. The correct keywords could mean a sale or just another image that the buyer could not find.

So how could you possibly think of all the keyword combination? it's easy. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Category - where does your image fit.
2. Once you have that think of a few keywords which you feel represents that image. The more keywords the better but I tend to get stuck at around 5 keywords. Can't even get one? Don't fret, you can use the key word from the category itself.
   
3. Once you have the keywords run them through a thesaurus which in turn produces loads of other keywords.
4. Select which best represents your images and submit!
