Would you ask your question in another way? I have a sense of what you're asking, but its not entirely clear. Hey Brad, thanks for stopping by! Would you ask your question in another way?

I am a third year university student studying Finance with Entrepreneurship. My final project is concerned with investigating entrepreneurship in social media. I would love to know your thoughts on what similarities companies such as Yahoo, eBay and Facebook have experienced, through the behaviour of their creators, Yang, Omidyar and Zuckerberg. Your response is greatly appreciated. Kind regards Brad Kalyan Hi Jonathon,

By avoiding the use of stock photography I'm referring to putting up images of people, buildings, etc., that have no direct connection to the message you're wanting to convey on your website. They are there for the sake of being there. There are a lot of sites that you can visit that seem to use the same kinds of people, over and over again - the smiling customer service girl, the beautiful looking office building, the firm handshake between two well dressed business men. These can be well and good in the right setting, but in a lot of cases, when you're working to build credibility, "stock photos", photos that you and anyone else can easily download from stock photography websites, can hurt you. Does that help? Thanks for a great question! Jonathan Anna, thanks for stopping by!

I don't believe it could have come at a better time because a few days ago, I decided to refurbish my own website and last night I was starting to feel lost and frustrated in how to go about it. Your article is not only inspiring but gives confidence and hope that even today, when we are each faced with billions of competing websites, there is a structure that we can follow in order to build a successfull, attention-grabbing and reputable one of our own. I have a question that I'd appreciate your advice on; i.e. At one point you say "Avoid using stock photography". What do you mean by this and why? All the best, A Thank you for sharing yet another brilliant article.
