It’s important to check the ownership of any content you share. If people send you photos confirm they took them, if they didn’t ask them who did and follow up with that person. The consequences of using a professional photographers work without permission could be costly. 

The same applies to music. Whilst we would love to share the latest hits, as a business we do not have the right to do so without purchasing a license to getting written permission. Facebook is pretty on top of music copyright, and it get’s picked up pretty quickly which will make your reel be muted or blocked. Using copyright music can also put your earning potential or hold temporarily or indefinitely.

I have done the research for you, and found a collection of royal free images and music that you can use for your social media content.

Most of these are freely available, but there are some that have paid memberships which I have mentioned. Sometimes access can change so let me know if anything I have posted below is no longer accurate. Some links below may also be affiliate links which means I might make me a few dollars if you purchase via this page, and at no extra cost to you.
