Free Images Online

Finding free images online for your marketing can prove a tough task. Yes, it’s easy to find sites that will provide you with lots of quality photos if you are willing to pay for them. I used to spend lots of my time looking around the web for free images online and YES there are a few places that you can get these from. This post will list the ones that I have come accross, up to now and I will add any more I find in the future:

Dreamstime is my favourite so far. They will give you 50 free images before you start purchasing them. So if you just wanted to use the free images then thats ok. They have a good selection of free images online for you to use and it’s really easy to navigate yourself around the site. You don’t have to contribute to the site to use their free service. Here’s a free image from Dreamstime:

Creative Commons (click here to visit site) can also give you free images online. However, you will need to attribute back to the photographer. Here’s a free image from Creative Commons:

(Notice how I have put a border around this image – I will show you how to do that in another post).

Another one that I have for you today is All Posters. Here you just need to join their affiliate program (free to join) and that will give you access to all the poster images that they have. You will need to refer back to All Posters, but it will link back to your affiliate program so when someone purchases a poster from the site you will get commission too. Heres an example of an All Posters image:

I have also started to get a lot of my own images now. Whenever I go out I always have my phone which has a built in camera and video options and take pictures of all sorts of things from road signs to birds to pineapples! (Yes, I have used all of these images). You will be amazed with what photo opportunities come your way when you look around. Amazon has many video / camera mobile phones available.
