500px, the social network dedicated to the business and leisure aspects of photography, is launching an innovative new app that is designed to help create a photography marketplace to help budding photographers find jobs and assignments and show off their work to an audience beyond their friends and families.
Let's be honest, unless you're a famous YouTuber or celebrity taking money to promote products, you're not going to get much monetary reward for your Instagram photos. The RAW app however can help you monetize your work by editing, exporting and sharing your photos and using them to land jobs.
This photography marketplace app is a smart idea in that it taps into an already existing community, that of 500px, and makes use of the connections and credibility of that network to create an app-based marketplace that helps people get due compensation for their work.
