Here's video showing you how to find beautiful images on Flickr. The steps are:
  1. Visit the Attributions License search page to find a suitable image. This license means that you can use the image as long as you provide attribution through a link. Thanks to HubSpot, here are some other great sources of free images.
  2. Always identify your target keywords first, before writing your post. Then, search for an image that emphasizes the key point of your blog post.
  3. I started with a search for "freedom," and ended up with a search for "island sail" before finding an image I liked.
  4. Watch the video, and then learn how to add the image to your blog.

What's your best idea for finding images for your blog post?
