Watch Your Day: Create Your Own Stock Images

By on February 14, 2012 in Blog Coach, Cool Tools, Marketing with 3 Comments

Create Your Own Stock ImagesHow many of you have a camera on your phone, raise your hand …

Whether you have a smart phone or not, the opportunities for taking your own stock images are plentiful. Additionally, improvements and growth of mobile apps such as Photoshop Express and Instagram make capturing, editing, and sorting images a breeze.

I’ve seen a lot of folks invest 20 minutes writing a blog post, then spend another 20 minutes looking for the right image. Better to take a few minutes here and there to be prepared.

Create some stock images of your own. Have a library ready to help tell your story. Just as you should Listen to Your Day in writing your blog, Watch Your Day for capturing great storytelling images.

    What a great idea! Even taking a photo a day will hardly take a moment of time out of your life and the picture could be the inspiration for a post now or in the future. Thanks for the inspiration here Mike!

      Thanks Linda. You’re right, and capturing the pictures would make for some great original content on Instagram or Pinterest. Maybe slideshare after a week or so of posts:-)

            Hmm… Just a moment to take a photo, but a week or so to share it ;-)
