Hey, it's David with Oberlo, and it's question time!

This week we're answer the question: "How do I get professional-looking photos for my

dropshipping store?"

This is a great question, because your product photos are vital to your success in dropshipping.

Why?

Well, as a dropshipper, you will always be competing with other businesses selling the

exact same products as you.

And having unique professional photos of your products is one of the best ways to differentiate

your brand.

Okay, but how do you get high quality photos for your store?

Well, there are three main methods.

Find existing photos online and edit them, Have a professional service take them for

you, or…

Take new product photos yourself.

Here at Oberlo, we recommend that you order a product for yourself, and take your own

photos.

The added benefit to this is that you can check the product's quality and test it

out for yourself.

But, let's take a quick look at each of the three options.

First, you can find the photos of your products online, and then edit them for your store.

If you're using Oberlo with Shopify, it's extremely easy to add the existing product

images to your store.

You can then download these images to edit them.

Or, use Shopify's built-in image editor.

This lets you crop or resize the image, change the lighting, add text, and more.

Now, you might be thinking, "That's great David, but how can I remove the watermarks?"

Firstly, we wouldn't recommend that you do.

If an image is watermarked, it's almost certainly copyrighted.

In which case, you don't have the right to use the image at all.

But, if you reach out and get permission to use the image first, there are ways that you

can remove the watermark.

You could use professional editing software like Photoshop.

Or, you can download a program like TheInPaint.com which makes it relatively easy to do.

This program is $19.99.

Or, you could visit a site like Fiverr, or Upwork to find an photo editor to do it for

you.

Lastly, you might also want to change the image so it has a plain white background.

Again, you can do this with a tool like Photoshop, or a free online alternative like BeFunky.com.

There are links to all of these resources below in the description.

Now, if you'd prefer to create unique images, you could choose…

Option 2: Send your products to a professional photography service.

A quick Google search will present many of these services.

Including Productphoto.com.

This service makes professional product photography a breeze.

You simply ship them your product, and they take the pictures, and edit them.

Plus, you don't pay anything until you've approved your new product photos.

If you order over 31 photos, the cost is $15 dollars a photo.

Alternatively, you could visit experts.shopify.com/photographers to find a service to help you.

But, if you don't have the budget for a professional service, or you just want to

test out the products yourself, you could go with...

Option 3: Take Your Own Photos This is the option we recommend.

It's a great way to create images unique to your specific brand.

Simply order one of your products, and then get to work!

There are a few big benefits here: First off, it forces you to order your products, which

gives you a chance to interact with suppliers, to evaluate the packaging, and to gauge shipping

times.

Your own photos are also nice because nobody else has them.

This makes your website, your product pages and your advertisements stand out from the

crowd.

And if you've seen some of the default product photos out there, you know that you don't

necessarily want to be part of the crowd.

Finally, having your own product photos will prevent people from identifying your suppliers.

As you may know, Google Images has a feature that lets you upload photos, and then Google

will tell you where the photos came from.

So someone could very easily reverse engineer where you are getting your products.

Using your own photos gives you that extra bit of secrecy and prevents your competition

from scoping out your suppliers.

If you're ready to try your hand at being a shutterbug, the Oberlo blog has TONS of

content about how to create compelling product photos – we've dropped some links in the

comments below.

Brazil told to make big Roberto Firmino change for World Cup quarter-final - Duration: 1:46.

 That is the opinion of Sport pundit and legendary Sweden striker Henrik Larsson

 Firmino is yet to start a game for Brazil at the World Cup in their four matches

 However, he came off the bench to score the second goal in the 2-0 last-16 win over Mexico today

 Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus has started every game so far instead of Firmino, but is yet to score himself

 So Larsson thinks it may be worth giving Liverpool ace Firmino a starting berth against Belgium or Japan, who play their last-16 tie tonight

 And he says Firmino adds more to the game in terms of hold-up play than Jesus. "This is a tap in but he's there at least," Larsson said

 "But you have to think a little bit now, four games Jesus hasn't scored in.  "He comes on and scores with his first touch more or less

 "You have to start thinking about it. "I also think that with Firmino in the team, there is a little bit better hold-up play and also combination play with him when he's playing compared with when Jesus is playing

✅ Katherine Heigl Apologizes For 'Disrespectful' Cemetery Photo Shoot - Duration: 2:31.

 Katherine Heigl is apologizing for a graveyard photo shoot that rubbed some fans the wrong way.   The "Suits" actress visited the graves of her brother and grandparents at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York, over the weekend, and documented the trip on Instagram

She also posted photos showing her posing next to other monuments and gravestones, with humorous captions.    After some followers slammed the "Grey's Anatomy" alum's pictures as "incredibly insensitive" and "tasteless," Heigl apologized on Instagram and deleted the offending photos

    "It was not appropriate and it was disrespectful and I've taken it down," she said in a video apology.   "It's kind of a heavy thing to go and visit my loved ones' graves, and I decided to find some moments of levity and humor and didn't realize how inappropriate I was being," she continued

 "I deeply apologize and I thank you guys for understanding that sometimes I don't think things through clearly enough and I am grateful for your input and for giving me a heads up when I'm maybe going too far

And thank you for forgiving me. Next time I will be more thoughtful about other people's feelings and not just my own."  Heigl's original post showed her posing solemnly with the headstones of her family members

She also shared a selfie of herself smiling with a statue of "an impatient angel," and another at the foot of a monument buttressed by two large angels

   "I also managed to get in a little gossip with the girls," she captioned the now-deleted snap.   She also posted a photo of husband Josh Kelley sitting next to a gravestone that bears the same surname

   He "found his own grave…which was weird," she wrote alongside the pic.   Heigl's brother Jason died as a teenager when he was thrown from the back of a pickup truck in a car wreck while out for lunch with friends from high school

Her grandparents died in 1985 and 2009.   Heigl, a Golden Globe winner, has three children with Kelley: daughters Nancy, 9, and Adalaide, 6, and a son Joshua Jr, who the couple welcomed in December 2016

3 Natural Solutions for a Sore Throat - Duration: 8:37.

3 Natural Solutions for a Sore Throat

Today, we'll tell you what you need to know about sore throats and then give you three ways to find relief the natural way.

Read this article to learn three natural solutions for a sore throat.

What is a sore throat?.

A sore throat consists of inflammation of the pharynx or tonsils, and most people have had it at some point in their life.

Since a good part of your throat stays warm and moist, it's the perfect breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.

More than 80% of sore throats are from viruses, and between 10% and 15% are due to infections.

What causes a sore throat?.

Sore throats come from viral infections and get worse when the microorganisms don't respond to antibiotics.

Colds and the flu often cause sore throats.

Symptoms of a sore throat. Inflammation.

Hoarse voice. Need to cough.

Fever. Fatigue. Painful swallowing.

White or yellow spots in the throat.

What can I do about it?.

If the sore throat is from a virus, a prescription for antibiotics will be needed to get rid of it.

It's also highly advisable to drink more fluids.

Pain relievers will be prescribed only if the pain is very bad.

However, never self-medicate, because antibiotics can have side effects and make your resistant to bacteria.

That means you'll need more toxic and expensive antibiotics.

Of course, take the entire treatment, without interruption or stopping early.

Otherwise, there could be a relapse and the germs will be stronger.

When should I worry?.

You should see a doctor if the sore throat persists, which could happen if you have strep throat (a quite contagious infection) but it was treated as if you had pharyngitis.

Pharyngitis can only be treated with antibiotics.

The symptoms are:. Painful swallowing.

Nausea. Vomiting.

Abdominal pain. Fever with rash.

Muscle pain. Cough. Post-nasal drip.

With these symptoms, you need to see a doctor especially if the fever does not go down, because natural remedies could complicate the situation.

Natural solutions for a sore throat.

Below, we'll introduce you to three 100% natural solutions for mild cases of a sore throat.

1,Apple cider vinegar with honey.

Apple cider vinegar lowers the pH of the area and helps get rid of germs in your throat.

However, it also works as an expectorant and the honey acts as a powerful antibacterial.

Ingredients.

1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (10 ml).

Juice of 1/2 lemon (5 ml).

1 tablespoon of honey (15 g).

Pepper to taste. 1 cup of water (125 ml).

Preparation. Boil the water.

Add the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.

Pour the honey in and mix until dissolved.

Add a pinch of pepper if you like.

How to use.

Drink a cup after each meal to reduce the pain and coughing.

2, Hydrogen peroxide.

Another natural way to treat a sore throat is to put a drop of hydrogen peroxide in each ear as soon as symptoms appear.

How to use.

Clean both ears carefully with a Q-tip.

Lean your head back and put one drop of hydrogen peroxide in each ear.

You'll feel a bubbling, which is completely normal.

Wait for the bubbling to stop, 10 minutes maximum.

Clean with a cloth. Recommendation.

We advise using this remedy only the first two days of the sore throat, once a day.

3, Lemon.

Lemon is considered to be a natural disinfectant and antibiotic, in addition to a powerful source of vitamin C.

It can be used in different ways to relieve the pain, whether sprinkled on some salt and then swallowed, or like this:.

Ingredients. 4 lemons (40 ml juice).

2 tablespoons of honey (30 g).

Preparation. Put the lemons on low heat.

Squeeze them and then add the honey to the juice.

Stir until well-mixed. How to use.

Gargle twice a day until symptoms go away.

Additional recommendations for sore throats.

Rest.

Drink enough fluids to break up the phlegm and help with the pain.

Do nasal irrigation with salt and water.

Use a humidifier or inhale steam.

Don't smoke. Wash your hands frequently.

Stay away from crowds and closed spaces.

Get the flu shot every year.
