If you have a blog, you will definitely need some stock photos. It will even be better if it is free.
You can have a blog without images but it will not be appealing to your audience. Unless the blog is solely for you to view.
What Is Stock Photos?
If you are new to blogging, you might not know what is stock photos.
Stock photos are professional photographs taken in commonplaces, nature, events, people or animals. It is an electronic photograph mainly used for creative or business purposes.
Users purchase and download stock photos from stock photo websites, which often license images for designated one-time uses, or sell royalty-free rights to photos that can be purchased once and used over and over again.
Are there free stock photos available? Of course, there is. As I needed images for my blog, I decided to compile a list of FREE stock photography sites just for you to use on your blogs, social media or business.
Do take note of the Licenses:
Although most of these photographs are free for personal and commercial use. However, some photos might require attribution. It is your own responsibility to research and find out how these images can be used.
