This is maddening. Take original photos from your phone. Create images in Canva, Photoshop, niche specific images, location photos, data visualizations, infographics, charts, anything relevant to your topic. Upload them to free stock image sites. UNS, Flash, Pexels, Pixabay, Flickr, Creative Commons. Here's where it gets crazy. The attribution credit fields link back to your website. These stock photo platforms have crazy domain authority. The images get pulled by bloggers, journalists, designers every single day. Every time someone uses your photo and credits you, that's a free backlink from their website with zero outreach.
