A complete list of the 36 best sites to get free images for your blog. Site name, site link, site description, and a screen shot of the site. Makes it easy to find the site or sites that you will want to favorite when you need to find images for your blog. "Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet." ~ Mark Twain If you are like me the Copyright laws are confusing especially when it comes to finding images to share on your blog and social media. If are like me you are not a big fan of spending $1-$5 every time you write a blog post or do a status update. This presentation will help you with both. While there is no such thing as a "free lunch" or "free images" these 36 sites will help you find Legal Images. Some of them were donated by the photographer. Some of them are paid for by advertising, some of them the author just wants credit for their work. No matter what none of them will require you to use a credit card.

3. You can not use an image you find on google images on your
website or blog!
If you do… there is a chance that someone will sue you. If
they sue you it will be for way more money than you feel that
they deserve and there is a good chance they will win. It is
called copyright infringement and it is serious business.
Also be careful of my headline; free images for your blog. As
they say, “there is no such thing as a free lunch”.
No images are truly free. You either pay in your own time to
take them, money and buy them, or you have to give credit to
the creator of the image. It might be better to call these legal
images.

4. This list contains links to sites from which you do not
need to pay money, or time, but you do need to pay
homeage.
You do this by either mentioning the creators name
or adding a link on your site to the creator, called
attribution.
It depends on what the creator wants and should be
disclosed on each site.
Some sites are monetized through advertising and
do not require any links or mentions.
Most of these sites rely on a set of rules called the
“creative commons“.
