What is Reddit's opinion of Burst?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The photo is by Matthew Henry. Here is the link to his photo page on Shopify

All his photos have the same look and feel, and he's definitely legit. Contact info, web links all line up to him. His instagram has many of the same photos over a long period of time: https://www.instagram.com/matt_henry_photo/

Thanks for the reply! And thank you so much for reporting that flickr account. To answer a few of your questions, there are only a handful of stock sites I've come across use those practices. But for us at Burst, 70% of the photos are produced internally, and the rest are from about 100 contributors from around the world. We try to make our content creation as ethical as possible. We also have tried to increase the diversity in our photo library as well. If you want to original link to that photo you can find it here. We actually have a whole collection of coffee themed photos. Anyways, sorry if this is starting to sound like a shameless plug for the site I work for, I'm just always happy to help out designers looking for quality free content!

Hi Mkrayowski - I knocked the images together using an Adobe package, the sources images were from Burst: https://burst.shopify.com/?utm_content=free_photos - you can get to it through the Shopify admin from any image picker which you haven't selected an image yet - HTH, RP

Etsy is not really a drop shipper. Mainly because they are mostly "handmade" stuff.

Take a look at burst, https://burst.shopify.com/business-ideas/sell-bluetooth-speakers-online

It isn't exactly your stuff but some tips for dropshipping.

There is a large amount of blog posts on Shopify's blog explaining dropshipping stuff.

If you're looking for good stock photos that don't look horrible I'd check out https://burst.shopify.com/ or Canva.

Pexels, Unsplash, and pixabay.com are okay - though the photos there tend to be slightly more generic and "fake" in their appearance.

Another easy way to get photos is to take them yourself! (if possible)

Free, and royalty free images. Fantastic for inspiration, graphic design, web design, etc. Pictures for/of everything, totally free and fair to use in design. Was a life saver when I was in school

Shopify does have a limited range of royalty free photos in built from burst. https://burst.shopify.com/. If there Ok for you then saves the Afro. Otherwise there are free sites and ones to pay for. Just taking images of google means you could cause issues.

Hello Lorina,

I can see that you are putting a lot of effort into your webstore, good luck with it.

I need to share a few major areas of improvement, though.

• Shopify themes are usually known for their sleek design (agree with MrMarkCrorigan on this) and your site's theme is one of the most old-fashioned ones. Consider changing your theme, ASAP. You may review other alternatives on Shopify's theme store. Shopify also has free and quite good looking themes.
• You may also consider changing your logo as it is not in line with the state-of-the-art design standards.
• I see that you are in need of some high-quality life style images for use on your homepage and company related pages. You may want to check out Burst by Shopify as it has thousands of free stock images.
• I cannot see any human beings neither on 'our story' page nor on the other page types. Consider adding your team's pictures and photos of some real people while they are using the voice recorder.
  

I can see that these modifications seem daunting at first but believe me making theme changes on Shopify is like a child's play and you will benefit a lot from these changes.

Wish you the best,

Ilke

With current techniques it's got too low a barrier to entry, especially through drop-shipping. You can get set up to sell cheap Chinese watches in an afternoon without ever having to store inventory yourself, and plenty of Redditors and Youtubers claim it's an easy way to make money.

However, I've heard from this coverage on Reply All that it's not actually easy to make a ton of money on drop-shipping. There are too many people doing it and putting up with all the disappointed customers and shipping issues doesn't usually pay out.
