Where can I get free stock photos for my blog or website?

Date: 3rd February 2010
No Comments Related Categories: Freebies

www_1We get asked this all the time – clients often spend a lot of time thinking about copy, words, structure and navigation, but then forget the essential piece that ties it all together – the pictures.

Only last week I had to tell a client that stealing pictures from other people’s websites was a BAD thing!

And yes, using Google Images to steal images is bad too – sorry!

Which is why I was very relieved to come across this post today from Web Design Booth – 30 websites to download free stock images.

OK, so WHY should I give stuff away for free?

Woman's Hands with RoseA message that I’m constantly trying to get across to my clients is the power and value gained by “giving stuff away”. With a business that uses the Internet, it’s important to establish yourself online and giving stuff away is one of the quickest and most effective ways to do this. You don’t have to give up your valuable patents to share your knowledge with potential clients and lay the groundwork for turning freebies into paying customers.

“I want a blog that’s at the top of Google before I do any work on it – and I want it to be free”

I received the following request this morning:

I am looking to start a blog that is free (or very cheap) to run, is easy to edit and write on and add photos etc.

I want this blog to be fully search engine optimised, so it comes up close to the top of google for all relevant search terms as well.  I also want some ad space on the site so I can start earning straight away.

Mad about the BanPeople’s reactions to my job / business frequently amuse me, but none more so than the responses to various promotional links I place in the places I network online.

As some of you know, yesterday I wrote a list of “10 Things You can Post on Your Facebook Fan Page” – and at the end of it is a promo for a special offer we’re running on setting up Facebook Business / Fan pages.

Last night I posted a status update on Facebook mentioning this, and received the following response from someone:
