Web Presence Development is greatly enhanced by high quality stock photography and image resources. During the past five or so years, Websites offering such resources have really come into their own. Some of the most popular resources, such as iStockphoto and Getty Images, offer the ability to acquire their products “ad-hoc” or by subscription. No matter how you engage with these services, there is one thing you can always count on; a price tag that says, “you need me, so your gonna have to pay”. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with that and it certainly makes good financial sense to invest in your Website and Web Presence.
Game Changer
There is a potential game changer that has entered this space. Photoxpress provides “Images you want. Free.” So, if you are at all like me, your first question is, “is it really FREE?” In a lot of cases, FREE, means ad-supported. With Photoxpress it means, FREE, for up to 10 images per day. Equivalent to 3,650 images per year. Not bad. As with all stock photography and images, there are terms of use that the user must comply with. Suffice it to say this; if you need a stock photography and image resource to use on your Website or in your Email Marketing, Photoxpress should be your first stop.
Maximizing what you get out of Photoxpress
Even though there are more than 600,000 photos and images available for download, you still might not find what you need at Photoxpress. My experience has been hit or miss. Even so, here are a few tips to make sure you get the most out of your Photoxpress account(s).
-
~ If you find an image you like, go ahead and download similar images at the same time. Chances are you might use them in the future.
-
~ If you have multiple authors for your Website, encourage each author to set up their own account and utilize both accounts to maximize the number of images at your disposal.
-
~ If you have future blog posts or new pages that are in Draft status, go ahead and download images that you might use for those. Especially if you haven’t reached your limit of 10 for the day.
