Need help with "Fake Squeeze Page"

by Dyer402
19 replies
Hey guys,

Had a quick question.

I'm setting up a simple little lead capture page
that has a field on the right hand side for a
fake video by putting an image in place of the
video.

I was wondering if there would ever be an issue
with using pictures you can find on Google for this
purpose or if I should go ahead and just purchase
the rights to use a picture..?

Biggest problem I have is I'm having trouble finding
the type of pictures I'm looking for on istockphoto,
123rf, etc. Google just seems to have much better
suited pictures for this squeeze page.

Any idea what I should do?

Thanks guys!

    If your gonna use pics buy the pics. This would be so much simpler if you just bought Optimize Press. They make building squeeze pages so simple I don't know how I survived without them. I got certain squeeze pages converting at 65% because of things I use inside the platform.

      That's actually what I'm using, I was just checking to see if I should buy a pic or take one from google, but I think I have my answer. Most online picture vendors are pretty expensive, but I'd rather pay for the pic than a fine.

      Thanks again guys!!

    Just purchase the rights. More than likely they wont be expensive at all. Or create your own image from scratch using MS Word, Photoshop, or Gimp.

    Cory, if you steal a pic and get caught it can cost thousands of dollars. In certain circumstances it can also cost jail time.

    Or, you can buy a pic for $1 or $2.

    The smartest choice is pretty obvious when you look at it like that, right?

        It's thinking like that, that gets people into trouble.

        It's the picture owner you have to worry about, and what kind of legal action they are willing to take. One warrior ended up settling out of court by paying over $3,000 to the copyright holder because he used a copyrighted image he got from one of the "public domain" sources.

        He thought it was a safe image, but it wasn't, and it cost him four grand. Finding someone using your images is probably easier than most people think.

    Buy a pics. Don't ever use stolen pics or using pics without permission. Don't ever think also. there are no shortcut in real business. Everything has its own procedure for your to follow.

    You definitely do not want to just use images from Google on your own websites.

    Here is a site where you can find heaps of very cheap images:

    Okay, so upon more research, I've found that the pictures I'm referring to have been dubbed as "user generated photos." The pictures I'm specifically looking for are pictures to use for ppc ads, banners, background images for squeeze page, and anywhere else that would entice a viewer to take action. So does anyone know how to obtain pictures like this, that maybe look like a girls profile picture, or something that looks like someone took it with their smartphone?

    I see them everywhere on ads and banners and whatnot. I just have no clue where these people go to obtain the rights to use them cause they sure as hell aren't getting them from normal picture venders like istock, 123rf, photodune, etc.

    Who knows the answer to this mystery???

        You might try sending the vendor a PM and ask if he'll sell you the right to one or two pics. Can't lose anything by trying. I usually take my own pictures and make my own graphics, but occasionally I do buy pics, and I usually get them from bigstockphoto.com.

          Thanks for that man. That actually has some pictures more toward what I'm looking for. Still a little too pro looking, but I feel has a better selection of what I'm looking for.

        I see. And I just checked out Gettys and they are kind of the same as istock photo. They really only have professional grade pictures of models.

        This is crazy. I feel like there were would be a huge site that would sell pictures like the ones I'm looking for, but I can't find anything.

        I hardly think that the hassle wouldn't be worth the payout for a site like that as long as someone would have the resources to create it.

        I'll keep lookin, but I'd love to hear from someone who knows of a site like this that sells individual ppc pictures of attractive women.

        Thanks guys!

    Did you look at photodune?

    Search Results: Girls - PhotoDune

    What sort of images are you after?

    None of those are fit for your purpose?

    P.S. Companies like Getty Images actually now have full blown departments that only job is to go around finding copyright infringers and prosecuting them. It's a big part of their business nowadays. It's happening every day to a LOT of people.
