ROBUST discussion

Friends,

One of the big things that prevented me from using Stock photos and an image editor was related to the high cost of stock photos.

Some of us here has a history with CDs and other media stored away for future use. Guys like me, not so lucky.

At the risk of sounding like an informercial... I found Dollar Photo Club.

http://www.dollarphotoclub.com/

I joined their ranks for $10 a month, and I can quit anytime I like. For that $10, I can get 10 photos that month, whatever I like, in the huge stock photo format for High Resolution and use it however I like, royalty free.

Better yet, the dollar roll over to next month. I can download nine today, let one roll over to next month, pay 10 bucks on time, and have eleven downloads waiting. I can plug along for six months, have sixty pics stored up, and grab em in batches for future book series.

Considering the costs of the other sites, this was a big plus for me, a guy who lives on frugality.

Here is my blog post that shows my three covers, old and new. Scroll down a little to find them. Click on them to see a larger version if you wish.

The cost to upgrade my book covers... $7.00

Now that was worth it! I'll go along for another six months, pay it over time, and grab a serious chunk to increase my arsenal of images to work with.

Hey Matt! I did it! I got away from CG covers! Yay!

^_^

I was able to update covers without breaking the bank!

Thank you!

Are you showing these new covers anywhere yet?

Some are posted to Amazon, others to https://www.facebook.com/IcyRoadPubli...

Excellent, apt covers. That just about defines good stock art, that it should be apt.

Thank you. I've tried to keep in mind the things you showed me.

It's a good start.

I've got all my e-book covers updated, now. I'm going to test a theory with "Impressive Bravado" next week.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I'm following quite closely. :)
