Stock Photography

Today I spent a couple of hours looking for a good source of photos for different uses.  I would like to be able to put photos in a lot of “blog” posts on various sites and other projects. 

There is only one good and worry free way to do this.  Stock photography.  Sure most of the pictures that I will be using I could get on my own, but the headache involved would be huge.  For the $5 or so per image I think that it is worth it. 

There are a lot of stock photography sites out there, the one that I finally picked had a 10% refund for your first bunch of credits, and the more that you buy the bigger the deal.  There are also a subscription plan that you can download a as many images that you need.  This would be the best option for companies or individuals that have a large need for photos.

Me, well I have enough credits for about 100 pics and that should do me for a couple of months.  If I am making money then I may just get a sub subcription.  Oh yeah, the one that I am using is CreStock as suggested by ChrisG

It will be a good method to find out if the images will help with the conversions and the readership.
