Author of Popular ProBlogger Site and Co-Founder of
B5 Media, the Global New Media Network Joins Photrade Team
Cincinnati, OH – September 29, 2008 – Photrade.com, the only free site where photographers can share, protect and make money from their photos, announced today that Darren Rowse will be joining its board of advisors.
Rowse is a respected expert and pioneer blogger. He founded the successful online Digital Photography School in 2005 which now has over 1 million visitors a month and ProBlogger.net, a site about the skills of blogging, which is one of the top 30 blogs in the world. Rowse is also a co-founder of b5 Media, a global new media network of hundreds of bloggers that receives 30 million page views each month.
“We’re thrilled to have Rowse join our advisory board,” said Andrew Paradies, CEO of Photrade. “His background and passion for social media, blogging and digital photography make him an excellent addition to the Photrade team as we continue to expand and add new features for bloggers and photographers.”
Rowse stumbled into blogging in 2002 after reading an article and began his own blog as a hobby 24 hours later. He posted pictures of a trip to Morocco and Spain, and a camera review. He quickly turned the hobby into a profession, and eventually started Digital Photography School, which teaches techniques and income strategies to photographers.
“Photrade connects with two passions of mine - helping photographers reach their potential and helping bloggers to develop the best blogs that they can.” Said Rowse, “Photographers are screaming out for ways to show off and make money from their work without it being ripped off - Photrade provides a
solution. Similarly it provides images to bloggers who are always on the look out for great images to use in their work.”
