Pictas Community Launches May 1st
An Exciting Time Ahead!
Hey there, Pictas Members!
We've been working behind the scenes to get everything ready, and I'm excited to announce that the interactive community site will be open to everyone on 2024/05/01. Join the waiting list here:
It's all about Community
On the 25th day of April, with 25 test members and 25 course lessons to be created before the end of November, some magic is in the air. I'm so excited to have you join us in the community and start interacting with each other in a more enjoyable and community-centered way.
Paid Plans
As the community grows and the demand for higher-quality content becomes necessary, we will acquire courses and offers from premium creators and instructors. Paid plans will be rolled out from the 25th of May to enable members to access different levels. We will start with the Free and Learn Plans. Later in the year, the Inspire (more premium features) and Create (ability to earn from Pictas) Plans will roll out.
New Website
If you still need to do so, look at the website. I'm driven to populate the Resources pages to make material available to anyone visiting the site. If you know of a high-quality tool, software, coach, course, website, etc., that concerns photography, art, or creativity, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Facebook Page
I've just started a new page and would love for you to follow/like it for future updates. Search for pictas.net on Facebook or use this link: Facebook Page.
YouTube Channel
To broaden our reach and provide easily accessible lessons, we've got a new YouTube channel. You can subscribe to receive future content notifications. We will make as much free content available here as possible. Head to the Pictas Academy YouTube Channel
Mobile App
Our community site has a mobile app! This way, you can keep your community in your pocket and upload from anywhere you have service. Once you join, you will receive a link to the app.
Artist and Photographer of the Month
Each month, the website will feature a different member's work in a gallery on the home page. Submission will be done inside the community site.
Social Channel Features
We're working toward mainly featuring posts from our members on our social channels. Pictas is about its community, and our social voice should celebrate our member's artwork.
Community Site
If you've made it this far, you must be excited about the new community site. Let me list the features you can look forward to:
Collections: A series of Spaces to keep the site organized and make navigation easy. To get orientated, you'll land in the Getting Started collection. From there, you can explore and join the spaces you are interested in.
Spaces: It's almost like a Facebook group but much better. Spaces allow us to have Feed, Discovery, Courses, Members, and Chat sections.
The hubs for different topics will now be spaces. This means that members interested in Portrait Photography have a space dedicated to uploading artwork, chatting with other like-minded members, being featured, and attending livestreams/courses about portrait photography.
Academy. We are curating excellent course material by accomplished creators with different styles, methods, and artistic visions to maximize your learning experience and help you find your own creative voice.
Livestreams: Our community site enables us to present live streams. Look for exceptional hosts who will show live content and interact with you.
Creators: In our roadmap, we plan to enable instructional content creators to present their courses to the community. We are figuring out a way to monetize this feature so that creators can kickstart their businesses right inside the cos a big par’s a big part of our mission to enable creators to flourish.
Thanks for sticking around. That was a mouthful! If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me. You can reach me at community@pictas.net
I can't wait to have you all on the community site and learn, inspire, and create together!
Cheers,
Géran.
