			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Finding low cost graphics for blogs an websites can be easy if you have the right resources.</p>
<p><strong>If you are doing things yourself:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://smartmarketinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/8-22-2008-4-21-28-pm.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-264" title="istockphoto" src="http://smartmarketinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/8-22-2008-4-21-28-pm.png" alt="" width="271" height="73" /></a></p>
<p>My main source for royalty free graphics is<a href="http://www.istockphoto.com" target="_blank"> Istockphoto</a>.  Depending on the size of the image you are charged a certain number of credits to purchase an image.   Most small images for the web are just a dollar or two &#8211; and a large file for printing may cost you 10 to 15.  All in all &#8211; great value when you need to create an impact in your marketing material.</p>
<p>Another source is <a title="123rf.com" href="http://www.123rf.com" target="_blank">123rf.com</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-263" title="123RF" src="http://smartmarketinghabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/8-22-2008-4-14-59-pm.png" alt="" width="126" height="70" /></p>
<p><a title="123RF" href="http://www123rf.com" target="_blank">123RF </a>has a very large selection of free images they offer which are offered on a time-limited basis &#8211; definitely worth taking a look as the &#8220;just right&#8221; image may be right there waiting for you.</p>
<p><strong>If you are looking to have someone help you with your graphic marketing materials</strong> there are a number of sources for which you can find economical help depending on what your needs are:</p>
<p>Try these folks:</p>
<p><a title="99Designs" href="http://www.99Designs.com" target="_blank">99Designs.com</a></p>
<p>99designs connects clients needing 		design work such as logo designs, business cards or web sites to 		a thriving community of <span class="designercount">over 17,000 designers</span>.</p>
<p><a title="elance" href="http://www.elance.com" target="_blank">Elance.com</a></p>
<p>Elance is not just for graphic design &#8211; but also great to find writers here.</p>
<p><a title="guru" href="http://www.guru.com" target="_blank">Guru.com</a> &#8211; also has a very large freelancer data base</p>
<p><a title="IstockPhoto" href="http://www.istockphoto.com" target="_blank"><br />
</a></p>
<p>Outsourcing your design work can save you a lot of time and frustration if you are not an expert with graphic programs and up with best practices &#8211; and at the same time &#8211; it can also cost you some time and energy when working with outside suppliers.</p>
<p>A couple of quick tips:</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t just accept the 1st offer you get in response to your request &#8211; as some of the folks on these data bases &#8211; respond to everything &#8211; and sometime they don&#8217;t  read what they are responding to.  I often put a codeword in the post &#8211; and ask any reply to include the code word in the response &#8211; that way I know I am not getting just an auto-response.</p>
<p>So some smart best practices are often a great idea.</p>
<p>Things like:</p>
<ul>
<li>not paying full balance until the work is completed to your satisfaction &#8211; Keep the funds in escrow ready for the work to be completed</li>
<li>not writing a positive recommendation until the work has been completed</li>
<li>find someone who you like and who is efficient &#8211; and then use them</li>
<li>be very specific about B timescales, quality required, layout etc &#8211; and renegotiate after anything changes</li>
</ul>
