New! IM Free – the Anti Stock Photo

by Erez Zundy January 6, 2014

written by Erez Zundy

We’re tired of dull stock photography: cliché pictures that cost too much. We want it real and unique – from real photographers, with real people. Free for commercial use.

So we’ve built IM Free, a new service that will allow you to browse through 1000’s of high-quality creative commons free photos and find an image that is exactly what you are looking for.

The Current Stock Photos Problem

Everyone who has ever searched in the popular stock photos websites knows that getting the right image is a nearly impossible task. There are hundreds of thousands of images in each website and many of them are of very bad quality. The high quality photos on the other hand, are too popular, causing the same image to appear in many websites. The faces of the stock photos models are found in many websites, and even if you haven’t looked up an image before, you will probably recognize some of these faces:

Google images – “stockphoto doctor”

Google images – “stockphoto business”

And who can forget the famous healthcare.gov stockphoto?…

The IM Free Solution

With IM Free, you can find a unique photo, of real people, taken by amazing photographers who posted their work on Flickr. These photos are under the creative commons attribution license, meaning that you can use all the photos for free(!) as long as you give credit to the photographer (we encourage you to do that as it’s the only way this model will stay strong).

At IM Free, we have curated photos of many talented photographers and categorized them in order to make it easier for you to find the right photo. This collection will also be updated all the time with new photos and categories.

Some of the categories you can find are:

Art & Music
Business
Ambient – including many beautiful images that can be used as a background image for your site.
Nature
People

There’s also a search box at the top of each page that will help you locate an image by keywords, quickly.

We plan to update the collection and add new photos but if you would like to contribute beautiful creative commons photos you found on Flickr, or if you are a photographer and would like to share your work with others in return for a credit, please contact us at free (at) imcreator.com.

It’s 100% Free For Everyone

IM Free is free to use and not just for IM Creator users. Later on, we plan to integrate IM Free into our editor and make it easier for IM websites owners to add beautiful images to their site.

Here at IM Creator, we keep working hard to achieve our goal of making websites creation easy, so be on the lookout through our Facebook page and Twitter for future expansion of IM Free to other free website creation resources.

Announcing the new IM Creator Affiliate Program

by Erez Zundy December 18, 2013

written by Erez Zundy

Since we first launched in 2011, we’ve had affiliates promoting IM Creator on their websites. Our affiliate program acts as a partnership between IM Creator and affiliates with the goal of spreading the word about IM and today we’re excited to introduce our new IM Affiliate Program, powered by HasOffers’ popular platform.

Now everyone can apply and in no time, start promoting IM Creator using a unique link and track visits. Application approval is usually done on the same day you apply.

In HasOffers, register (or login if you already have an account), click “offers” on the left sidebar and go to “My offers”. You will usually see 2 offers:

Premium affiliates – will allow you to send traffic to our homepage, our new landing page, or any other page on imcreator.com using the “Add website” in the offer details age.
Promote templates – will allow you to get HTML codes that include a thumbnail image of one of our templates, and a unique link that will direct the traffic to that template’s specific URL.

Affiliate Program Features

Send traffic to any page under IMcreator.com using the “add website” feature.
Set a source parameter in order to group and filter statistics in the reports.
Add as many SubIDs parameters to the URL in order to track things better on your side. For example, if you would like to distinct between traffic you generated via paid ads and traffic you sent over via your new blog post you can set SubID1=post or SubID1=cpc
Add your own pixel to the thank you page in order to track advertising campaigns like AdWords.
Many banners in different styles and sizes for you to use.

A bit more about promoting templates:

In order to promote IM Creator using templates, please download the HTML creative of the template you want. If you would rather use your own code, open the file and:

1) Copy the image and edit it as you wish.

2) Right-click the mouse on the image and ‘copy link address’ to get the relevant link to the image.

Reporting – Things You Should Know

In order to get an input on what’s working and what’s not, there’s an easy to use reporting system you can find on the left sidebar of the control panel.

Since we are tracking both “Free users” and “Premium users”, you will need to add the “Goal” dimension to your reports. Just click “report options” on the top menu of the Reports page and check the “Goal” box.

You can add any type of information that we track to your reports, including Creatives, Countries, Browsers and more.

You can even break down your reports by week/day/hour of the day/etc. and save a report for later use.

Commission Payment

At the moment we only support PayPal for affiliates payment but we have plans to offer more payment options in the future. The initial commission rate is $35 per sale, but we really like to increase it for affiliates who drive a lot of sales or stick with us for a long time.

We love our affiliates and welcome you to join this unique group and start promoting a website builder you actually like. Sign up today.
