Affordable Stock Photos - A Must For All Web Designers And Marketers

I just read and commented on a discussion posted by IdealMike that went over some free stock photo websites that anyone can use. The discussion is HERE

I use a paid service, but it's not one of those pricey ones that everyone thinks about lol.

I can't justify paying $50 for 10 images a month when I can pay $9 for 100 images a day... yeah, 100 a day for just $9 a month lol So I get up to 3,000 images a month while other websites are charging $50 a month for just 10 images. If you do the math, that's $5 an image for the expensive websites and $0.003 per image on the website that I use

Ok, Ok, I'll tell you since you've read this far lol. I use billionphotos.com and I've loved their service for the last 10 to 12 months

There are 3 different membership levels, well 2 kind of.

• FREE: You get access to all 300,000+ images at not charge to you for 7 days. You can download 20 images a day during this 7 day period. After the 7 days you aren't auto charged for the next membership. You can upgrade if you want, they don't force you which I like a lot
  
• 1 Month: This is a good membership if you have a project that needs a good amount of images and you don't want to pay for the yearly membership level. I like this option, but it's not the cheapest in the long run so I went with the next one
  
• Annual: This is the yearly membership level that you pay for one time a year. It costs $99 which will make it like you're paying less than $9 a month for up to 100 downloads a day
  

What I really like is that billionphotos lets you use their images on your clients websites and they won't track down your clients and harass them (I've been in that boat before and it's not fun). You can't sell themes with their images, but your clients websites that you are designing are ok.

Check out billionphotos and let me know what you think


Thanks,
