DIY Stock Images + Graphics

If you aren't good with a camera or don't know how to turn a photo into a graphic, even having great arrangements won't help much. Now, you can hire someone to take the photos for you and someone else turn them into graphics and them to your website, but that's expensive and can you can sit on a waiting list for months. Photographers can run up to $3,000/day and don't always include editing.

Here's the good news: there's a better way. With a few hours time, a good instructor, and your iPhone, you can learn to take your own images and turn them into graphics that you can use on your website, social media, and promotions. And I can teach you! I've been creating my own images and graphics for eight years.

The best news of all: it's FREE! I'm creating a FREE course that teaches you to create your own stock photos and graphics (and you can do it for less than $30).
