Michael Hold on a moment... the photo with Grandpa Meume and the cigar lit with a dollar bill in the last post wasn't from the editorial team's private collection! And the photo with the Jim Carrey lookalike in this section probably isn't either! That's right, because now iStockPhoto.com offers stock photos that can be purchased for little money to promote products or, for that matter, visually enhance articles about pension insurance.
Depending on the size, each photo costs a few dollars, and then you can display it on your website or print up to 500,000 brochures. Simply enter your credit card, buy 10 'credits' for $13, and then download up to ten small images from the provider's extensive collection to use them commercially and without further payment obligations. That's a good business principle! I got the tip from Guy Kawasaki, who mentioned it in the video The Art of Innovation, which, I might add, is a very good video. It really inspired me.
