00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,820
So in this lecture I want to talk about images because to create a really great looking site you do
2
00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:11,430
need to put up some great images you know take some time to really think about what those images are
3
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:13,200
going to be on your site.
4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:19,290
A site that looks a bit rubbish is going to drive away traffic very very quickly and all your hard work
5
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,510
will be wasted.
6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,460
A site that looks great is clearly going to draw them in.
7
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:28,650
Now I know that's really obvious but it's surprising how often that gets overlooked.
8
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:33,180
So what I want to do here is just show you some sites where you can get images that you have to pay
9
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:33,600
for.
10
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:37,980
But also as you repleat to know plenty where they are for free.
11
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:40,290
So let's start with the paying sites.
12
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:45,670
Now the big ones I guess are this one here that I'm on at the moment which is called a stock photo.
13
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:49,810
So let's just imagine that we were in the dark sector for example.
14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,370
And I just typed in dog here it presents with some beautiful images related to dogs and there will be
15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,510
thousands and thousands of these.
16
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:01,350
If I were to continue to scroll down the page you'd see what I mean.
17
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:06,540
But basically this is a great site for getting some really really nice images.
18
00:01:06,540 --> 00:01:11,210
Now you're probably looking at something like five to ten dollars per image.
19
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:15,990
Now you might think that's a lot but in fact you're probably only going to use a handful of images on
20
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:20,560
your site any one time so you may be looking at maybe investing if you were to go down this route let's
21
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:26,490
say $20 you ought to have four really great images on your site and you might consider that to be a
22
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:29,850
really good investment now as well as our stock photo.
23
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,330
We have Shutterstock which is a very similar concept so let's just type dog in here for example.
24
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:38,400
And again an endless selection.
25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,470
Yeah 1.8 million dog stock photos eighteen thousand pages so clearly we want to start refining that
26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,250
but those two sites really have a limitless number of images that you can pay for.
27
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:53,470
So let's imagine that you don't want to pay for images.
28
00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:55,670
So let's have a look and see what we can do there.
29
00:01:55,830 --> 00:02:00,330
Well the first place we can go to is Google now on Google I can type in dog
30
00:02:04,110 --> 00:02:08,560
and I can go to images and here I have a load of images.
31
00:02:08,590 --> 00:02:13,050
But you need to be careful because very often these images are copyrighted.
32
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:18,750
So if he were to take them and use them on your site you may well have a problem later down the road.
33
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:22,000
You know probably the worst thing would be to be asked to take them off your site.
34
00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:26,330
But if you built a brand around a particular image and then later on they asked you to remove it.
35
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680
That would be really really annoying.
36
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,120
So why not just avoid that whole thing in the long run.
37
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:37,110
But it's not all lost for Google because up here I have an additional filter called usage rights in
38
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:42,780
if I click on or I get various options I got labeled for reuse with modification label for use labels
39
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:44,460
for noncommercial reuse.
40
00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:46,080
And then again another noncommercial.
41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,640
Now we are commercial right.
42
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:53,070
We're building out a business if you want to really on the safe side you would select labeled for reuse
43
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,750
in other words you can reuse any of these images.
44
00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:02,050
And quite frankly you are going to find many many great images here for your use.
45
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:07,920
Now the disadvantage having said all that with Google is that you often struggle to find the image the
46
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,080
size and quality that you want.
47
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,280
You know that's the big advantage with those paying sites that I just showed you in fact with the paying
48
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,960
site you'll get images in various different formats but here that's not the case.
49
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,040
You know it's pulling images off the internet so what you see is what you get.
50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,150
Which can be frustrating but that's a little bit of research and a little bit of looking around.
51
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:31,910
You can often find a really good image to use for your site.
52
00:03:32,130 --> 00:03:37,050
Now if you don't want to use those paying sites and you don't want to use Google then I'm not quite
53
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:42,930
done yet because in the next lecture I'm giving you a list which I hope is a pretty exhaustive list.
54
00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:47,510
In fact of Web sites that have royalty free images.
55
00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:53,190
In other words you can go to those sites you can search for images and you can be 100 percent certain
56
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:56,980
that you can use those without a problem in the future.
57
00:03:57,270 --> 00:04:02,220
So I really hope from what I've just shown you here and also in the next lecture are going to be able
58
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:06,160
to find some really really cool images for your business.
