Tips on which stock photo license to buy for your marketing needs

Dreamstime.com offers Royalty Free stock photography, which is the most affordable and most popular license type of paid for stock photos. The “free” in Royalty Free means you don’t have to pay extra royalties. Instead you pay a one-time, flat-rate license fee, sometimes as little as 20 cents per image. You are entitled to use the image in a wide variety of uses such as on a website or a marketing brochure, a banner, in a video, etc. You have permission to use it unlimited times without paying extra royalties. This makes Royalty Free stock photography the best choice for budget-minded buyers.

If you plan to sell or distribute items, pay for an Extended License so you can use the stock photo on items to be distributed or sold further afield, such as on a mug or a t-shirt, or a digital media item.

Exclusive Rights are worth considering when you find a stock photo that is perfect for your company branding. Your exclusive license ensures others will not use the same image thereby securing your brand.

What makes a stock photo image popular?

HTBphotos on Dreamstime - white-clouds-blue-sky stock photo is a top seller

HTBphotos‘ White Clouds in Blue Sky image is a best seller from John and Katharina Notarianni’s portfolio of stock photos featured exclusively on Dreamstime.

What makes a stock photo image popular? Here are some tips:

Images need plenty of “negative space” for the end user to add text, logos or other images.

Variations of the same shot, or a cropped photo, like the one above, may even sell better than the more detailed original photo.

Taking time to photoshop the original shot to increase dots per inch to represent print quality (300 dpi) and offering various resolutions from low to high quality also gives the end user choices for web or print use without extra work on their part.

Zoom in to “actual pixels” to scan for imperfections that can be easily fixed with photoshop, like dust or spots. Even the smallest issue may keep a buyer from buying the image, particularly if they plan to use it on a billboard where the image is blown up to maximum size.

Tagging the image with key words like blue sky, white clouds make it easy to find. Search engines like Google and Bing are more likely to bring up your image when tagged with key words.

Client Testimonial: UR Special Photo Restoration

So happy to be able to make a difference with one of my long-time clients… please read the testimonial from UR Special Design and UR Special Photo Restoration’s Karen Speer, regarding working with HTB Website Design on her website projects: 

“Katharina Notarianni of HTB Website Design hosts my TWO websites. I’m a graphic designer and a photo retoucher. I can design a website, however I have NO idea how to post them or maintain them properly. If I design a website for one of my clients I can ALWAYS count on Katharina to take care of THEM in the same fashion she does for me.  Changes? No problem. Need some input? No problem. 

Some of my clients request things that have nothing to do with web hosting, however are way over my realm of understanding. Again, I just refer them to Katharina. Also, she is such a caring, wonderful human being. VERY easy to work with.Often suggesting solutions to make a website more “user friendly”. 

My experiences with Katharina and her stellar levels of expertise have never been anything but absolutely positive. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”

Most Very Sincerely, 

Karen Speer
