  1. Where to Find Free Stock Images For Your Blog That Don’t Suck One „rule‟ of blogging and content marketing in any niche is that the addition of images to written content is almost a must. Which is great, except for an independent blogger or small company blog finding those images can be time consuming and expensive. Of course, you could just use Google image search to find an image, right click it, download it and stick it right into your latest blog post or make use of it in other ways. But that route can be fraught with danger – seriously – if the rights attached to said image do not permit unpaid publication. In recent years bloggers, content creators and companies large and small have been hit with huge fines for using images without permission. Stock imagery is a safe and sensible alternative to taking risks with copyright infringement, but it can be both expensive and boring. Free stock is the best option then, but exactly where do you find free stock imagery that is actually worth using? There are actually far more options available to you than you might think. Here‟s a little look some of our current favorites:

  2. Pexels Of all the resources on this list, this is the one that most bloggers and content creators have probably already heard of. The only problem here is that because so many content creators already use it, there can be a lot of image repetition across blogs and websites in the same niches. For example, if you haven‟t seen this image before, or a slight variation of it, we‟d be very surprised, as it‟s one of the most over-used on the Web. That having been said, if you are in need of an image that won‟t get you into legal trouble and you need it quickly, Pexels is a great site to keep bookmarked. Why it’s good: 1,000s of free images are available for use that cover hundreds of uses Burst Burst is actually owned by e-commerce giants Shopify, but open to use by anyone. While most of the images are, as you might imagine, geared towards retail content there is a little something for anyone and some gems you won‟t find anywhere else. Why it’s good: Offers a wide range of free images for commercial use Less usual stock photography for various industries, but especially retail. Very easy to navigate and search for the photos you need

  3. Gratisography If you like quirky, silly or just plain weird images – and/or need one for your latest blog post, web page or social media campaign this is the place to head. There are some fabulously quirky images there that you won‟t find anywhere else (unless another blogger shares your sense of humour that is) Why it’s good: Wide range of free images for commercial use New photographs added weekly Excellent if you are looking for humorous images or quirky, creative photography Startup Stock As the name suggests this is a great place to find stunning images for blogs and websites that operate in the tech and related start up space. Why it’s good: Beautiful high resolution stock images Perfect for a tech related website Focuses on the work of a few, select photographers so the images are less likely to be used by others and fairly unique to your content. Magdeleine There are not as many choices here as you‟ll find at many other sites on this list but this is the go to free stock photography if you want bold. visually stunning images that can send a message on their own. Why it’s good: Ability to sort photography based on colors, categories Easy to navigate system and beautiful high contrast photographs Picography This is another great resource for those who are looking to enhance their content with unusual, visually striking photos that are not offered anywhere else. Why it’s good:

  4. Fabulous lifestyle photography that‟s great for personal blog related content Easy to navigate system Hundreds of unique photographs available for personal and commercial use Getrefe This site is a go to favourite for those writing in the travel space and for good reason, the images are stunning. Why it’s good: Very easy to navigate Extremely high quality stock images from photographers all over the world. Specializes in city and “real life” photography that‟s great for adding interest to travel and personal blog posts. If you write your pieces in Google Docs you‟ll know how easy it is to edit and even change these images within the document itself. We love this as you don‟t have to stop your flow of creativity to add an image quickly. What we didn‟t love so much is the fact that it is hard to transfer an image laden Google Doc into WordPress. Or it was. We created Docsify to solve that problem and allow you to make easy use of as many stunning images as you like.
