How To Add Great Graphics, Images and Animations to Your Site for 8 Cents A Day

One of the biggest irritants that you’ll find if you are publishing sites across a bunch of different niches is having to find free ( or low cost) graphics that you can use to spice up your sites. The simple truth is that visuals DO contribute to the end user experience, site stickiness, and certaintly repeat visitors to boot.
Some of the very best blogs (especially out of the internet marketing space – which is MOST of them..:-)) are those that have good visual punch and penache, and while ultimately – written content is indeed king – having good site aesthetics and appealing eye candy is in fact important.
(especially if you are publishing in niches where your visitors expect to see entertaining imagery)
Say no more…..a few spins of the google wild wheel of fortune and I found iclipart.com/ - which, for 30 bucks for the year you can download and utilize an unlimited supply of their 14 billion ( maybe not that many – but there were more zeros than I could count) images for use on ANY and all of your websites, projects and I believe….print media as well. ( I have to re-read the TOS, but looks to be an unlimited license with is great!)
I actually am proud of myself because I was only planning on trying it for the month at 20 bucks – but when I saw the price for the year was 29.95 – I broke out my trusty windows calculator, carried the 1 and it turns out 12 months is actually a MUCH better deal. ( don’t try to do the math – trust me, I’ve done the heavy lifting and it is)
It’s a great deal for sure – lots of high quality cartoons and animations which really do add a ton of appeal to any site – especially in the diets/dating/health/self improvement niches, all of which I not only publish in, but I probably could use some help myself with as well..;-)
