Hi, I have seen a few people mention photos that are copyrighted. How are you able to tell which ones are and which aren't? I have used

I suggest you avoid Google images and adopt other free options.
For example, I use canva free images but sometimes paid ones.
Check out this article.

Thank you so much, that’s really helpful

For instance, I download the photo whatever platform is Unsplash or Dreamworks, then click on the photo on the Unsplash website. It takes you to the creators' page then I copy the URL. When I load up the photo, I write photo by: " " that way, it kind of like an APA give props and protect yourself. I'm sure Unsplash and the creator will appreciate this.

Thank you that’s really helpful

Hi - you can get product images from affiliate programs but even then you have to be careful.

For example, Amazon supply only 1 image of each product, through the Site Stripe bar and you have to insert it using the HTML code. You can't copy and paste other images from the product page. This will get you removed from their program.

Oh! I didn’t know this, thank you for letting me know

I've been running into the same problem. The easiest solution I've found is contacting people directly. But I'm doing product reviews so my target is pretty well defined. for more generic images you might have a harder time.

Thank you, it’s more generic ones I’m after so sometimes finding that searching on the free sites I’m never finding what I’m looking for. I will stay away from google now though for sure

Look up pictures on Pinterest too. And just contact the owners and ask for permission.

Never even thought about doing that, thanks

definitely don't use the ones from google without using hte commercial filter ...and even then use a bit of common sense ....
if it looks like a product then it is probably copyrighted...
the other place to look is wiki commons...but you need to add attribution with images from here...
all of hte ones at unsplash should be copyright free, but you never really know where the source is...
one way maybe to do a google search for the image you pick to see where it is being used and if it looks like someone owns it then don't use it...
there are plenty of free image sites, so you have a lot to choose from ...other members have compiled lists...check them out in the search box above...
i hope you manage ot find the images you want

It comes up on my amazon affiliate site on the commissions' page about amazon bounties but I have no idea what this is can someone help?

Hi - you receive a payment if you are promoting the likes of Amazon Prime or Kindle Unlimited etc. Its a set amount rather than a commission percentage.

Thank you for clearing that up for me :)

Thank you for your help, I'll have a look at that :)
