Where to find free stock photos

If you’re struggling to monetize your blog, I know it can be hard to ante up the money for snazzy stock photos for blog posts. Of course, you can always take your own photos, but that’s not always doable if you’re chronically ill or creatively challenged. It’s probably tempting to use photos from Google images, but please don’t! Using someone’s photo without their permission is illegal, and you can get nailed financially for it. Here’s the nightmare that happened to one blogger who used Google images!

Fortunately, there are online options for free stock photos. Here are few examples:

• Pixabay
• picXclicX
• Pexels
• Unsplash
• Foodshot (mainly food photos)

And, here are some lists of other sites to find free stock photography:
