Cheap Stock Photos For Bloggers
This post may contain Affiliate Links
If you’re a blogger or small business you may sometimes end up purchasing stock photographs to use on your website. I recently bought a huge pack of 350 cheap stock photos for a bargain price and I wanted to share with you a little bit more about it and why I think it’s such a fantastic offer.
While I love searching out a bargain and saving money, it’s actually pretty rare I write about specific deals. This is because the deals are often so short-lived that if you read a post a few weeks afterwards, the deal would have ended. Some deals sell out within a few hours too, so while I do love a bargain I tend to write about finding deals in the first place rather than the actual deals themselves.
Cheap Stock Photos For Bloggers
As a blogger with several websites, I use stock images on a daily basis. These are images that are free for anyone to use from sites such as Unsplash. Copyright on the majority of images means you can’t just google images and use whatever you like. Having some great stock images at your disposal is a great way to improve your blog.
However, there are often times when I just can’t find the type of image I want to use for free, so I end up buying stock images. At the moment, I pay £9.99 a month for a Canva subscription which lets me use their huge range of stock images that would usually cost around £1 per image. For me, it’s a worthwhile investment, especially when coupled with their Pinterest templates and editing tools.
However, I did recently buy 350 stock images from Lyrical Host and I love them!
Cheap Stock Image Packs From Lyrical Host
I could go on all day about how much I love my blog hosting through Lyrical Host. While not the cheapest host, their ethics, service, values and dedication to supporting charities make them a popular choice among bloggers and small businesses and I do have a dedicated post on them if you’d like to read it which includes a discount code for 10% off hosting plans.
This month the folks over at Lyrical Host launched two amazing packs of cheap stock photographs. The packs both contain a variety of flat-lay images in various colours and styles and are an absolute steal. I bought them straight away because it’s nice to have images that are slightly different from the ones I see lots of others using on Pinterest and social media.
These prices are set until the end of February when they will increase slightly and I will of course provide an update then.

Why Use Stock Images For Your Blog Or Business?
One of the great things about purchasing stock images such as these is that it can make branding your blog or small business really easy as there are plenty to choose from in various colours and styles.
However, if you’re just starting out you may not be in a position to make a huge investment which is why these cheap stock images are such fantastic value – I can’t think of anywhere else you’d get this many stunning photos for such a great price.
While of course there are plenty of times I do use my own images, such as when doing product reviews or creating recipes, there are also times I just don’t have the time or the energy to create my own images for every single post I write.
Also, as I’m not a very good photographer, these images are far better quality and better styled than I could create myself!
What Could You Use Cheap Stock Photos For?
The images come with an unlimited licence for use personally and commercially (meaning you can use them on your clients’ websites as well as your own) as long as you don’t sell the images or upload them to free stock image websites.
Here are some places you could use these stock images:
- Pinterest Pins
- Instagram posts and Stories
- On Facebook
- As a blog featured image
- As part of a blog post
- In a newsletter
- As images in a digital product.
Overall I think these images were an absolute bargain and I’m so glad I bought them. Having beautiful stock images at the ready really does make my life easier and when I start a new blog or project I know I have sets images that match nicely ready to go.
