NEWART.PHOTO is not "just another photography site", we are completely different. First point, [almost?] all other sites want you to join them only in order to start forcing you to pay for something you don't really need. You all should know exactly which one (very well known) site currently makes a mess of all their users forcing them to buy a certain "status" which actually adds no useful functionality to what they already have and deleting arbitrarily those users who would like to continue using it free of charge. Why this happens? This happens simply because to date there was no alternative, meaning there was a monopoly on the free paradigm in form of only one generally well known photography site. Today, NEWART.PHOTO offers you Its own free paradigm, which reliably filters out the worst, but in the same time gives the best a chance to win. First of all, let us presume that you do not want to pay anything to anybody for whatever you do in the domain of artistic photography and for the reasons of your own. We assume that you also don't need any help and that you want to keep your artistic path clean of anything ... "misleading". When you learn what a "direct link" is and how you could possibly use it to build a stable and reliable free of charge online presence with a little help from NEWART.PHOTO, you will find out that you depend no more on any other site, but ours. Our free paradigm is BASED on direct linking which effectively solves a problem of disc space for us. The catch is: you keep your content elsewhere, directly linkable, we display it as if it were uploaded to our servers thus protecting the direct links from further subsequent use by malevolent Third Parties. While safely displaying your content through NEWART.PHOTO, you can (if you want) make use of our access rules in order to give access to your content after some form of payment. In other words, in order to sell it. Because you make no problem for us taking our discspace we make no problem for you imposing drastic rules and deleting your accounts. You continue going your artistic path undisturbed. By adopting our free paradigm you will be receiving no help from us, other than already hardcoded into various functionalities of the NEWART.PHOTO site. No help from site Administration also means you are not obliged to comply with some requirements we impose on the Artists, Models and Crafters we invite PERSONALLY with the respective statuses "Artist", "Model" and "Crafter" on our site. Only PERSONALLY INVITED artists, models and crafters are eligible for random exhibition of all their sets of images among 8 topheader images which appear on EVERY page of NEWART.PHOTO. The Free site users can publish an unlimited number of sets of images, provided all these images are directly linkable. Any set of images has a short link to it and can be reffrered to as https:newart.photo/<YOUR USERNAME HERE>/<4 SYMBOL SHORT LINK>. It also can be searched for. The set owner can fine-tune the access rules. And finally, the popularity of your set is automatically measured and if or when it accumulates more than 2500 points given by not less than 50 different site users, it will automatically appear among the 8 topheader images. If you manage to do the trick, you can be sure of this: your content IS POPULAR and no mistake. It is one thing to have plenty of followers and absolutely another thing to MAKE these followers DO something for you. But you know it already. What may be the difference between NEWART.PHOTO and other photography sites? NEWART.PHOTO requires some easy work to be done by the user in order to embrace the free paradigm. Not every one will comply. Which means, there will never be tens of millions of user accounts of which an unknown number is "dead" and inactive, but their images are still in the way, distracting the visitors from the content being offered TODAY. If you know what I mean, you know that only this point is worth million arguments "pro" and beats million arguments "contra". |
