Another source for free pictures for your blog posts
The WA training has given me a few sites where you can get free pictures. There is however one that I have been using prior to joining WA and I don't believe it has been mentioned.
The source I am talking about is through using the Google browser. Here is how you get your free pictures from this source.
Just for example you are writing a blog post where your keywords are 'yoga for beginners' enter that term in your browser bar and click enter. Above the search results section you will see that Google gives you a number of options that you can click on which include 'videos' and 'images'.
If you click on images Google will show you all the images for your search term. However to determine which images you are allowed to use for free you must now click on the option 'search tools' and on the bar below 'usage rights'. On the sub menu among the 5 headings now displayed by Google you will see 'Labeled for reuse' Clicking on that term you will then get displayed the images that you can freely use.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for this blog post. I was really struggling with trying to find the right place to get images I could use.
Thanks - I've been using Bing images and I've been unsure of what images I can use on my blogs. This will be my new goto place for images.
Thank you Jim, if you need more resources? Make yourself comfy :) Free Images, free photo's, free cliparts, free pictures
This is really useful Jim thanks! Under search tools it didn't have usage rights...is there something I am missing?
Hi Michael,
'Usage Rights' should be displayed when you click on' Search Tools'. It is in the bar beneath with options for size,color,type,time,usage rights and more tools. You then click on the down arrow next to 'Usage Rights' to get to the 'Labeled for reuse' section that you need. Hope this solves your problem.

Hi Cristina,
Thanks! 5 of my sites are purely in maintenance mode at the moment and I am confining my efforts with my Fit Cats and Learn Handy Health and Wellness tips sites with regular postings to each.
