The Story of Storyblocks, A Letter From Our Founder - Storyblocks Blog

The Story of Storyblocks, A Letter From Our Founder - Storyblocks Blog | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it
In 2009, I started a stock media company with a single vision: to provide premium creative content that everyone could afford. This idea grew into VideoBlocks, followed by the launch of GraphicStock and AudioBlocks. Now, we’re adding millions of photos to our new image Marketplace and it’s time to bring our expanding libraries together as Storyblocks.
Jeff Domansky's insight:

Storyblocks is an improved one-stop-shop for high quality stock media at a fraction of the cost, with millions of images, videos, audio clips, and more! A favorite tool, modestly priced and highly recommended. 9.5/10

My comment: Very useful resource for finding image cutouts of objects that can be integrated in existing layouts or photographs thanks to their having a trasparent background.

Stock photos that don’t suck — Medium | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it
Finding great stock photos is a pain. You’re left with either low-res amateur photos, people wearing cheesy headsets, or photos that are out of budget for the project you’re working on. Below is an ongoing list (so bookmark it) of the best stock photo sites I’ve come across.
Jeff Domansky's insight:

Useful stock photo list.

Say Cheese for These 7 Free Stock-Photo Sites

Say Cheese for These 7 Free Stock-Photo Sites | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

Whether you promote content that is fresh or seasonal, evergreen or topical, your endeavor will be meaningless if it doesn’t make your readers sizzle and pop with excitement. How do you capture the attention of your audience without crafting content from scratch?

Perhaps all you need is a high-quality photo. Not a bland, lifeless image, but an attention-grabbing picture — one with a story behind it. Maybe you need a series of compelling images if you’re marketing a lengthy content piece.

Research shows that:

  • Color visuals increase a person’s willingness to go through a content piece by 80%.
  • Posts or articles with images receive 94% more views than posts or articles without images.
  • Understanding of content jumps from 70% to 95% with the integration of images....
Jeff Domansky's insight:

These seven free stock photo sites are an excellent resource for bloggers, PR and marketers. Highly recommended. 10/10 

Also my personal fav is Pixabay.com.
