Custom Watermarking

Watermarking is the only sure way of protecting your image's copyright. Our watermarking software allows you to watermark your images on the fly by setting options such as the opacity, text, font size, font color and location of your watermark. You can even use your own logo or small graphic as your watermark. Your images are then cached (stored in memory) on our servers and displayed with the watermark settings of your choice. |

Online and Offline Portfolio Promotion

PostBidWin is constantly promoting all portfolios for all levels of designers. However, paying members receive additional promotion services not available to non-paying members. Each month we run campaigns to promote an individuals portfolio or design services. For example, last month we ran a poster campaign in major cities that featured our newest Gold members and some of their gallery images. This month we are featuring designers in new skill categories (such as Cartoons & Web Graphics) on paid Google Advertisements. We will always be coming up with new and exciting ways to get you work, so don't be left behind, sign up! |
