Image for blog article: Way to start?

10 years ago

I write all my content, then find free-to-use related images and upload them to the blog post.

To learn about getting free images, take a look at Pat Flynn's article: The Ultimate Guide to Finding and Using Images On Your Blog (NON-aff link)

There are lot's of sources for royalty free images. Sometime I use Flickr and Google advance search function to find suitable images for my blog posts.

Do you buy images? single or in bulk ?

What is your blog uploading routine?

Share your views and experiences.

I run a simple Google advanced image search, and select images that are free to use or share, even commercially

The free easy way is to Google them and manage the search options, so the results are satisfactory. But if you want to invest a little in "your blog's image" and "the images on your blog", you could buy them in stacks from various sites (iStock etc.). There, you find them on the most various themes and also in very good quality.

Kozzi dot com has some nice images. So does WPClipart dot com, which contrary to its name has more than just clipart in its database and is free. I use a lot from both of those places.

I always write my article and then look for a suitable image. My favorite free site is The Leading Source Of Free Stock Photos - stock.xchng You need to sign up with an email. Although the images are free you need to read the terms of use for each photo as some require attribution and notification etc.

You can also try CC Search but here again you need to read the terms of use of any photos.

I have a lot of luck with Morgue File. They have some beautiful high res images on all kinds of topics. I write the content first then go looking for an appropriate, applicable image to fit the content. I update my blogs a couple of times a week depending on the availability in my schedule.

Look for watermark-free stock images. Some free sites will give you access to a lot of pictures - even high resolution ones - that you can use, as long as you register with them and publish their link on your blog or credit the person who's uploaded it.

It is a very old issue. I found a lot of thread here about image lisencing. If you know how to search on this forum you can get tons of URL from where you can get commercially free images.

I personally use pixabay.com

I buy images from DepositPhotos.com (cheaper than istock and almost identical pics). I buy whenever I write a blog post that I want an image for. I sometimes video blog, so that means I don't have to put an image in. And sometimes I just don't put an image in.
