Blogging: Finding Strong Images

We’ve talked about how to create a great blog post. However, it’s not enough just to slap some text down on the page.

Finding the perfect image to represent your text is just as important as writing that text.

Here are some places to find free images – and you must either use free images or pay for the rights to an image. Using an image that isn’t yours will net you some hefty fines (hundreds of dollars per image)!

  1. Unsplash – “The internet’s source of freely usable images.”
  2. Picography – “Gorgeous, high -esolution, free photos.”
  3. Magdeleine – “Hand-picked free photos for your inspiration.”
  4. IM Free – “A curated collection of free web-design resources.”
  5. Death to Stock – “An artist-owned co-op.”
