Explore Millions of High Quality Images with Simple iStockphoto Pricing

July 12, 2016 By Ken

iStock has made a couple of awesome changes with its collections and pricing. The stock photo website has reduced its collection of images from four to two. In line with its subscription offers, it introduced the Essentials and Signature collection. This means that iStockphoto pricing is no longer based on size. Customers are able to choose any image size they need for the same prize. iStock has also been working on the possibility of upgrading resolutions.

Before we delve into the new istockphoto pricing, let us first walk down memory lane and learn about the Essentials and Signature collections once again. The Essentials Collection contain images that can be found in other stock photo websites as well. This means that images are not exclusive to iStock. On the other hand, the Signature Collection contains higher value images exclusive to the stock photo website, including the Signature+ and Vetta.

The Essentials collection provides the everyday images you need at 1 asset per credit. The Signature collection features millions of exclusive premium images for 3 credits per asset. If you wish to download images from both collections, you can get the Signature subscription and download images at the lowest price possible. But if you only need images from the Essentials collection, you can enjoy even lower prices with the Essentials subscription.

Less Credits, More Value

In line with the new iStockphoto pricing, the stock photo website also features a new credit system that raises the value of credits. In the new credit system, the base price to license images will be a single credit. It is in contrast with the current system that places 2 to 150 credits as the base price, depending on image size and collection. The base price will be $15 for small packages, while the larger packages will receive great discounts and will lower the price per credit at $8.

The package size has not been announced yet, but hints point to a single credit package which allows creative professionals like you to purchase a single image with no leftovers on your account. Currently, the single image purchase is still available with direct payment and the smallest credit package contains 3 credits for $33. The Signature Collection offers the best images that you cannot get from anywhere else, while the Essentials Collection offers the best value for tight budgets.

Should you get credits or subscriptions? Both allow you to explore millions of high quality images through simple iStockphoto pricing. If you have a one-off image needs, credits are the best option for you. If you have larger and more regular image needs, you will be able to save as much as 60% on images with a subscription. So, what are you waiting for? Get every image size for the same price with the new iStock pricing.

How to know if your Shutterstock Promo Code is Legit

May 19, 2016 By Ken

shutterstock-15-offShutterstock is one of the largest stock photo agencies in the market, but it certainly is not one of the cheapest. There are many reasons why the stock photo site is more costly than its other competitors. For one, it contains over 80 million stock images, graphics, videos and music in its library. Where else can you find a collection this vast? You will surely find everything you are looking for to jump-start your creative projects.

Shutterstock offers subscriptions and images on demand for every budget. Yes, that is true. However, creative professionals do not have the money to purchase them all the time. There are circumstances when a discount will greatly help bloggers, web designers and businesspersons with their creative works. This is where Shutterstock coupon codes become very important. They provide valuable discounts that will help the creative community save more.

How can you tell if the Shutterstock coupons are legit?

over_60_million_images_in_shutterstock

A number of scam sites that claim to offer coupons for Shutterstock are scattered around the Internet. They lure many creative professionals to their scheme by giving away codes as well. But, how can you tell if their codes are valid and active? Here are some red signs that a website is a scam:

  • It is not affiliated with Shutterstock. The safest place to get your coupons is from Shutterstock. However, if you are looking for a better discount, you may check out other websites as well. When choosing a website to get your codes from, find out if it is affiliated with your favored stock photo agency. Only affiliated sites are allowed to distribute coupon codes. If the site does not have a business relationship with Shutterstock, stay away.
  • It requires exchanges for the promo codes. A legit distributor of Shutterstock coupons does not ask for money, email or other personal details in exchange for the coupons. The coupon codes should be given away without fees or commitment. They are a way of telling customers how grateful the site is for making Shutterstock their primary image source.
  • It offers expired coupons. Generally, coupons have expiration dates. Check out if the coupons offered by the site are expired. Many scam sites offer expired coupons in exchange of something, leaving you less money and no active coupons.

To address the issue of scam sites, only get your Shutterstock promo codes from lasting business partners of the stock photo agency. Do not waste your time and money on websites that claim to offer coupons but with no affiliation. Now that you are able to tell if coupons are valid or not, only get them from legit distributors. What are you waiting for? Get active coupon codes to avail significant discounts from your chosen Shutterstock plan now!

istockphotos

As a business owner, you want to get the best quality product you can find for the best price.  iStock has some of the best imagery in the world, has been in the industry for long enough to learn all of the nuances about how to sell stock photos well, and can be consistently relied on to provide a top quality stock photo experience.  And now, thanks to our exclusive iStockPhoto promo code, you can get iStock imagery for the cheapest prices you will find anywhere.  Here’s how much you can save.

iStock Promo Code Savings

Through the end of the year, we are offering three different iStock promo codes to help you save on your next stock imagery purchase.

By entering the code 12ISTOCK12, you can get 12% off all image packs.  That means that iStock’s three credit image pack that usually runs you $33 will cost you only $29.04.  That’s a handsome $3.96 savings, just for entering our iStock promo code.

istock-photo

With the code 14ISTOCK6, you can save 14% off on all larger image packs.  iStock has a cheaper per image price the more images you buy on demand, and you can take advantage of these per image savings in combination with our iStockPhoto promo code to get the best possible deal.  A massive, 300 credit image pack at iStock usually costs $2400.  But with our code, iStock’s largest pack will only cost $2064, for a total savings of $336.

If you like to purchase your imagery through subscription plans, we have a code for that too.  Use the code  9PTPC46N to receive 15% off monthly subscriptions, and the code ZYWPC46N for 15% off of annual plans.

Redeem Your iStockPhoto Promo Code Now

We will only be offering these discount codes through the end of 2015, so you should think about redeeming them as soon as possible for the largest iStock savings.  With our credit pack discount code, you can get iStock imagery for a very reasonable per image price.

Sure, iStockPhoto free downloads can help you explore the site a bit.  But iStockPhoto free offerings only change once per week, and if you really want to explore the vendor’s full offerings, you need to start wading through their larger library.  Until the end of 2015, there’s no cheaper way to do so than with an exclusive StockPhotoSecrets iStock promo code.  Redeem those codes now, and capture these savings while they last!

Did You Know: 123RF Free Images Are Real

November 5, 2015 By Ken

123rf-free-images

Most of the time, when a stock photo agency advertises free imagery, there’s a catch.  Either you need to download a certain amount of paid images to unlock the free stuff, or there are only one or two free images to choose from, or the images are very low quality.  But the people over at 123RF do it differently.  Go and check out the 123RF free images  as offered in Stock Photo Secrets that are available to download on their site, and you will see what we mean.  Unlike some sites which are deceptive or don’t offer authentic free stock photos, the free imagery at 123RF is very real and can provide some very real value to you or your business.  Here’s a closer look.

123RF Free Stock Photos

123 RF LogoTaking a quick look at their “free” section, you will see that 123RF has some great stock photos to choose from for free download.  Instead of the usual one or two images that many sites offer, 123RF has literally thousands of free images to choose from.  And the 123RF images that are available are all high quality, licensed for commercial use, and ready for you to start using in your business’s projects.

No strings attached, just great, free images.  Go ahead and search their offerings and see if there is anything your business could use.  Afterall, what do you have to lose?  They are real stock photos, and they’re really free!

More Free Material on 123RF

123RF offers more than just stock photos for free download.  They also offer stock audio clips, which you can download and use in promo commercials or for any other commercial use, just like you would with stock photography.  Plus 123RF has some great HD imagery available for download too through their blog, which is something that not many others agencies do.  Finally, 123RF also has some beautifully crafted PSD art that you can download as well, which will give your next graphic project a very unique and tantalizing look.

Try 123RF.  It’s Free!

Most of the time, we are very sceptical of free image downloads, as they are either lower quality or from a very limited selection.  But we are happy to say that 123RF completely breaks the mold on this one, and provides a tone of beautiful, high quality, useful stock photography that is also free to download.  Go ahead and check them out, the 123RF free imagery is real and really useful!
