How to Best Use Free Stock Images

We are always on the hunt for beautiful free stock photos to use for our featured images on our website as well as on our Pins for Pinterest.

The best way we use free stock images is by keeping a folder under “My Documents” in our work computer titled “Free Stock Images.” We will often batch our work time, and so about once a month, we will spend one day on these free stock photo sites pulling images and loading them into folders onto our work computer. Then we categorize the photos into sub folders, such as “Blogging Images,” “Budgeting Images,” “Travel Images,” and so forth. This makes is very easy to hunt for a free photo quickly.

I love using both Canva and PicMonkey for creating social media posts and then I use Tailwind to plan out my Pinterest posts for the week.
