Ep 29: Choosing the right images for your website


Listen Later

A question I get from a lot of clients/students is how to use and find images for their website or sales pages. Can I use pictures of books and tea (because that's what I love) if that has nothing to do with my content? I have so many thoughts on how to and why I believe in using imagery in your marketing. Especially if you're a creative person or value beauty like me. 


Using imagery in your branding or marketing is powerful because it can convey your message in a way that some words can't. But if not used correctly, it can have a powerfully negative effect which can not only detract from your message but also turn potential new clients off. 


In this episode, you'll learn: 



  • My philosophy for using images in your marketing and how to do it authentically 

  • The top mistakes I people make and I suggest instead 

  • Where to find beautiful images to use on your website and sales pages that help capture the emotion you're trying to convey, and

  • How to compress your images so they don't slow your load times on your website.
