Having images for your blog posts is crucial! A great image will help you promote your post on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram. Sometimes we don’t have the time, tools or graphic knowledge to make a great image. When this happens you need to find a stock image.

But where do you find stock photos? Better yet, where can you find free stock images? Keep in mind that you will want to be aware of the terms of service and copyright information before using any free stock image.

    Thank you for putting this list together,
    i know most people warn about just copying images out of the search engines, but it still doesn’t make sense to me, i mean it’s not like there’s an international worldwide law to protect the copyrights all over the world is it ?..
    say i found a cute picture on an Indian website for example, and i use it what’s the big deal ?
    is the U.N gonna come arrest me in South Africa for using a picture ??
    it makes no sense, unless you copy a picture originated from your same country assuming there’s images copyright laws in your country and it’s owner have their pictures legally registered!!
    what’s the odds ???
    it would be nice to hear your thoughts on this issue,
    I love your list, thank you again for this, but Google images would still be my Fist choice 😀 😛
    Many thanks and Happy holidays!

    Thanks so much for re-posting this from the other site. I’ve commented there with thanks. Finding images that I can use freely is always a problem, and I never know what I should do. Others seems to grab whatever they like from image search. I’d prefer to know that my pictures were from copyright-free sources.

    You mentioned all the points in awesome fashion. And, I am really wondering what else should I expect. What more can you do? For me, there are no more ways to get images which is why I’m very excited to see what you cover in the next posts.

    Zemanta is another great way of finding free images to use (they are automatically credited) and you can drive traffic to your blog, too! Available for Blogger, WordPress and most other popular blog hosts.

    Great list! I also like using the Flickr Creative Commons section – just make sure you give proper attribution!
