Well, I accidentally stumbled on a new way to get free pictures for my blog posts. I was having a hard time finding good free pictures for my blogs so i did some messing around on Google and check out what I found out!

First, pull up Google.

Second, search for whatever term you're looking for related to the picture, for this example, I'll use "squat rack"

From there, hit enter to search.

Then, click over to the images tab.

Here's what I got searching for "squat rack."

Now, these aren't the pictures you're allowed to use. We need to change the search settings for the search.

To do that, click the "Gear" icon on the top right corner of the page:

.

From there, select "Advanced Search"

Once the "Advanced Search" screen comes up, scroll down towards the bottom of the page until you see a drop down for "Usage Rights"

"not filtered by license" will be selected by default. We want to click on the drop down and select "free to use or share, even commercially."

Once that's selected, go ahead and click "Advanced Search"

From there, you'll be taken back to the Google Images page with the keywords you searched for. Only this time, you'll have new images that you can actually use. For FREE!

This is something I'm really excited to find as I was having a HORRIBLE time finding images for my blog. I was about to just buckle down and start paying for them until I figured this out. Hopefully it helps you as much as it's helped me!
