How To Find Free Images
I’ve had a ton of people ask me how to find free images on the internet. In my Truth Serum members area we have a list of hundreds of sites that you can find find images. However, many of the sites require you to pay a fee to use the images.
In this video, I show you how to use Google Images to find pics that you can use for your websites. Keep in mind that you still need to follow the copyright wishes of the owners, so make sure to pay attention. However, many of the owners are chill and don’t mind you using their images, even for commercial use.
Cheers,
Jason
Now I never paid attention to the advanced search on the images, thanks Now I don’t have to trial and error for an hour to fine something I can use. Normally I used the morgue files or something first though. We have had a thread started on the Guild for a long time and a bunch of them went from free to squezing the wallet for anything good.
Awesome
Thanks again!
Hi Jason,
Great tip have been doing this for some time now, great sharing this with everyone. I sent you an email to your yahoo address …you might not be checking that one. Shoot me an email i will resend it to you.
Jason,
Thanks for putting that up buddy. You learn something every day;-)
Hey I love how you made the video too. What did you use?

Looks like camtasia to me…am I correct?
I use Screenflow.
Oh nice..I’ll have to try it out.
Good Stuff… I was looking for images the other day and was wondering about this. Thanks

Take care bro,

Haha, yeah, I remember seeing this a while back. Scary.
Thanks bro…finally i’ve found this great info!
Jason, how do they define “commercial use?” I get the real meaning, ofcourse, but what about using a photo on a blog post on which there is no sales copy?
Thanks!
Hi Frank,
A similar question popped into my mind too but I think that a blog would most likely be considered a commercial use. Even if you don’t sell anything there you are promoting something or yourself.
Jason also suggested you check if it’s available for commercial use.
If you still have questions about that search Google.
Cheers,
Vance
Hi Jason,
Thanks for this and as a photographer I thank you for pointing out about legal usage of images!

Good to know JMO! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, Jason!
I’ve never used photos from Google–didn’t realize you could filter them like that. And that’s a lot faster (and cheaper) than what I usually do.
Great info, as usual!!
I love how Dan Kennedy puts it…
“It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.”
And then while searching for this quote because I spaced it out, I found this gem that complemented it…
“So I see two advantages with implementing a change without asking for permission:
* I take full responsibility for the change. If it affects someone negatively, I will be more inclined to get into a constructive discussion, possibly leading to an adaption of the change, instead of just answering “but it was approved by [insert some authority person here], so it’s not my fault”.
* Discussion of the change will take place in the presence of real feedback, in the presence of actually observed advantages and disadvantages – instead of speculation, fear of the unknown, and ungrounded expectations.”
Thanks for the awesome video Jason!
Thanks for that good advise Jason. It is something that I will now check closely when I’m looking for photos.
Great advice. Interestingly, in my entire first year in blogging, I just grabbed all of my images from Google search which is obviously an absurd thing. But you know if some of the owners of those images send me a legal letter, then I’d be more than willing to remove those images, lol.
