Marketallica:

In this picture, he shows his books. Everything seems usual, but not finished, he added some notes to pictures. On notes, he tells a bit about book and add link to amazon with his referral (check out here). It means, if you enjoyed Russell’s photos, you just look at; you can instantly buy it on Amazon. Maybe it is first product placement ever on Flickr.

This little idea may big impact for users, brands and flickr itself. Let me explain, users of flickr or uploaders may use their affiliate programs on flickr. For example, if you take a picture of Threadless tshirt, just add note links of how to buy it. These notes are contextuals, not irritating for viewers. Viewers have a chance to buy Tshirt he just seen on his friend wearing or he has a chance, he just witness performance of brand on picture. This concept gives users make a money, that’s why i named it flickrpreneur. I tried some initiative with my threadless affiliate program. Here and here.
