You have heard time and time again that it is important to have great images on your social media account. But you’re a start up. And you just don’t have the funds to have new compelling images for every day of the week.
So what are you to do?
You can’t just take photos from the Internet because you may risk getting sued. And the photos from the normal stock photos site don’t exactly fit the mold of what you’re looking for.
Lucky for you, there are a lot of people in the same situation. But, there are some really great photographers who provide high quality photos for free. Here are a few of our favorite stock photo sites that have a creative common license so you can use their photos without emptying your pockets!

This is our personal favorite. You can search different categories, which for our team is a must so we don’t have to peruse through hundreds of options. This is our go to for hi-resolution photos as their 30 + albums provide us with a wide range of topics.
