• Time Management – Organizing Your Content Purchases

    Date: 2011.02.24 | Category: Content | Tags:

    From time to time it is inevitable that as adult webmasters there will be two things that will happen:

    1) You will buy some licensed content.

    2) You will use this content for a gallery.

    However, unless your content is organized you can end up spending to much time to make a 10 pic gallery page. This article is going to offer you some sound advice on how to organize your content from the second you take delivery of it which, will save you a lot of time long term.

    So we have taken delivery of our adult content either by download or, on cdrom what next, we could just file it away on cdrom but, by taking a little extra time to organize your content from the start you will end up not only building sites MUCH quicker but also saving time all round.

    Here are some helpful hints to get you on the way to content organization.

    1) Unzip all your content sets and, if applicable, separate them into model and niche sets.

    2) Create folders for each model and, each set of 10 images within the main model sets.

    3) Rename all your images in the 10 pic sets starting from pic1.jpg through to pic10.jpg.

    4) Crop, compress and thumbnail each image within each set of 10 that you have.

    5) create a html page that calls your thumbnails and main pics using relative urls i.e. /set1/gallery1/image1.jpg for the larger image and /set1/gallery1/thumb1.jpg for the thumbnail image.

    6) Inside each of your 10 pic/thumbnail folders place this HTML page you have just created.

    7) Burn each of the gallery folders to cdrom.

    Lets now look at what an hour spent has enabled us to do.

    Instant Galleries.

    Say we want to build a 10 pic gallery to add into a free site or an AVS site that we are building, we know we have all the galleries already made, its just a case of finding the correct gallery and uploading it to our server.

    Image Swapping.

    What happens if we need to swap an image from one of our pages to a more appropriate one for the niche we are marketing to, simple, you go to the image set you want, look for the image name and simply change the image without having to upload it as, you will now know the EXACT location on your server of the image you are changing to e.g., /set6/gallery8/image9.jpg would change to set24/gallery2/image2.jpg.

    There are of course other ways this can benefit you for example, you can plug in your galleries to any site you own if you have them all uploaded to a central content location domain.

    The benefits of organizing your content from the instant you take delivery are endless, the above is just a sample of how I have successfully saved time and effort by becoming more organized, the only limitations you have with your organizational skills are those that you impose on yourself.
