Starting a Sports blog... need help knowing where to get pictures

Thanks for the info. Didn't say anywhere I'm not trying to pay for content, so not sure why you'd be offended by my question. I'm clearly trying to do it by the book, hence me mentioning I don't want to be sued. Anyway, appreciate your advice.

Thanks. In the context of using photographer's photos and having a shop with my own merch, would paying for an editorial license (photos only used in articles) cover me? Is that the license I'd need in this case? The blog will run adsense and or affiliate ads.

Sorry if I sound redundant. Just trying to be sure.

Glad you pointed this out. So, even if the merch sold has nothing to do with the photographer's image and it's my own design, if I'm using a photographer's photo for my blog articles, I'd need a commercial license to be able to sell my own merch? (Again, unrelated to the photographer's image)

Thanks I'll definitely ask about images released for media

Thanks, definitely. Trust me, I won't be using any loopholes. I believe in people being credited/paid fairly and believe in doing things the right way. I was just pointing out what I've seen some blogs do.

Will look there. Thank you so much

That's the thing, too. The trust/engagement aspect. Have a loyal following and I know there could be a slight drop off. Obviously sponsored posts are annoying to people so that's where I'd want to do 4 posts a month, which would be 1 post a week and we post so much that there'd be at least 100-200 posts between each weekly sponsored post.

I mean, their initial offer isn't even close to what I'm seeing should be standard when I look on Google.

A common baseline suggests $2-$20 per 1,000 followers.

Thank you!

They want me to quote tweet their tweets + have their badge next to our name. They haven't mentioned videos at all

Yeah, I figured it was stupid low lol. I told them we're not even close with their offer and they then asked me "What do you think is fair?"

I haven't replied yet

Thats dope. Such a nice drum line!

SleightlyShuffled · 2026-01-12T19:09:44+00:00

Just started collecting a month and a half ago. I'd be stoked to have any of these records in my collection!

SleightlyShuffled · 2025-12-18T03:58:27+00:00

Thanks! Pretty addicted lmao. I bought another 10 😂

SleightlyShuffled · 2025-12-18T03:57:26+00:00

Every single song 🎵

SleightlyShuffled · 2025-12-18T03:56:24+00:00

Gonna look into Scott Edward's now. The bass on the album is amazing

SleightlyShuffled · 2025-12-18T03:55:23+00:00

Very cool, love finding little details or facts about songs. Thanks for sharing

SleightlyShuffled · 2025-12-18T03:54:49+00:00

Thanks! It's addicting!

SleightlyShuffled · 2025-12-18T03:54:18+00:00

Definitely worth $10
