Did you have a listen into last week’s episode? Last week we had a chat about using social media to either impress your community or to impact your community.  The idea behind the podcast episode is to help you rethink the way you use social media and market yourself. Head back there if you didn’t get a chance to listen in already- click here to listen to ep 242 – www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/242

This week I am chatting to Sarah Aktag who has a business called Brand Eliza Stock which is a stock photo membership business.  I am always curious about stock photos, where to find good ones and who owns them when you do use them and so forth, so I was chuffed to have Sarah on the podcast to share her story about her business and why stock photos.

But before I chat with Sarah, I just wanted to give a shout-out to this week’s podcast sponsor – Airtree Resort. You might recognise the name from my socials as it’s where I hosted my Women in Business #notsobusiness Retreat a few weeks back. I hired the whole resort for my retreat – and it’s not as expensive as you might think! But it’s just not for retreats, you can have a golfing holiday there – they have a driving range, or you can have your wedding there or just pack up the family for a winter getaway and stay for a weekend or a week! Julz and Scratcha, good friends of mine, have made the resort super kids friendly with animals to pat and fed and a nature playground to envy, but also have a fire pit for just sitting and contemplating life! Check out Airtree Resort at www.airtreeresort.com.au or look them up on Facebook and Instagram.

I don’t actually know many Australian stock photo memberships, except a rural one, whose name I cannot remember right now to give them a shout-out, so Brand Eliza Stock is a little unique.  Take a listen to my chat all about stock photos with Sarah.

That was Sarah’s first ever podcast interview – she did great and gave some great pointers about using stock photos in our marketing and set us straight about the legalities of using stock images, which was great.  I’ve joined her membership, and if you’d like to take a peak or join as well, make sure you head to her website Brand Eliza Stock – the link is in the show notes at www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/243
