Attention: Photographers Howto: Photo uploads

If you’ve already gotten yourself setup, you’re ready to start an Event, and Upload some Photos.

Step 1: Creating a New Event

Click on the Events Tab on the main navigation bar. To start with, you won’t have any events stored, so go ahead and click the Create New button at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Fill Out Form

Add info about the Event, and optionally give it a password. Choose the type of Event you’re adding (this is covered in the Setup Howto). This is the hardest thing you’ll have to do (don’t worry, it's really easy).

Step 3: Review Categories / Add Photos

From here you can review the Categories available for your chosen Event Type. You can directly add photos to an Event Type by clicking on its Add Photos link, or simply click the Add Photos button at the bottom of the page.

Step 4: Dropping in photos

Now all you have to do is choose the Pricing Scheme you would like to use, and drag in the photos for that Category. To add photos to a new Category, just choose a Category one from the dropdown list, and drop your photos in.

Step 5: Receive Orders

Once you have completed the photo uploads for you Event, make sure that the Event is set to be displayed, email all of the people interested in the Event to let them know that the Event is online, and then wait for the orders! Once an order has been placed you will immediately receive an email notifying you of this order; the email will also contain a link to the page where you can find the order details. Fulfill the order as quickly as you can, ship it to your customer, mark the order as being shipped, and wait for your check to arrive.

Step 6: There is no step 6

And that’s it. You can view your Event by browsing to your Instaproofs storefront.
