Where to Get Images for your Birth Worker Website

4/18/2015

I just put together a FREE Mini-Lesson on how Birth Workers can get [legally] get images for their website.

In this VIDEO lesson you will learn:

Why you shouldn’t steal photos off the internet. And how you can get [easily] caught.
Where you can buy stock images for just $2 each.
My FAVORITE place for FREE stock images.
What to do if you want homebirth or water birth images that YOU are in (you won’t find those on stock photo sites).
How to [somewhat] take control of a photoshoot to make sure you aren’t wasting your money.
Special treat for those who watch the video all the way to the end.

Music on the Homepage is a No No

Here are my top 3 reasons why you should not have music auto-playing on your webpage. And by auto-play I mean someone comes to your website and music is playing even though they did not hit a play button.

Some of your potential clients may be nursing moms. Nursing moms are often surfing the web while their baby takes a little nap at the breast. Music unexpectedly blasting from a phone will never be well received.
Some of your clients may be at work and surfing the web (when they should actually be working). If your website auto-plays music you just threw them under the bus.
It is just annoying, and sometimes even shocking, when music comes out of your computer and you were not expecting it.

It is ok to have music and videos on your website, I actually really encourage video! But just make sure visitors have to click play. This will decrease your bounce rate (I promise) as users are less likely to quickly close out of your website as fast as they can.
