Free Images for Use

Are you constantly looking for images that you can use legally?

There are so many great pictures on the internet and at first you might think it is alright to copy and use them on your blog or articles. Well it's not, technically it is actually stealing if you don't have permission from the original creator of the image.

There are a few better ways to find great images that you can use though.

Creative Commons

Searching the creative commons engine is easy all you have to do is pick a site you want to search. Then set whether you want to find images that you can use for commercial use and type in words related to what sort of image you are after.

The first photo on this page is a creative commons image which is a 3D rendering, but you can also find photos, drawings painting and any type of image possible, When Aliens Attack.

Amazon Associates

If your looking for a product image then you can always sign up to be an Amazon Associate. Being an amazon associate you are able to use their product images as an image link that you can add to your blog or articles.

Here you can see an example of amazon product image I have used in my toy blog, Toy Dinosaurs

Allposters

Allposters is my favourite way of getting photos or pictures for my blog and squidoo pages. At allposters they have a huge number of images that are being sold as posters, photographic images and even t-shirts. All you have to do is sign up to the allposter affiliate program and you will have access to heaps of images. The added benefit to this is that if these images are clicked on and the image is bought from allposters then you also earn a commission. Images that you can use for free to add to the visual appeal of your page and can also earn money from, it doesn't get much better than that!

Here is an example of how I used allposter images on my science blog, What causes Lightning?

Of course there is another very easy way of placing images on your pages, and thats by taking your own obviously. I have used my own photos on many of my pages, you can see a few below if your interested.
