Totally normal when you’re just starting ,lack of traffic makes most affiliate networks reject by default.
If your product isn’t on Pexels, Unsplash, or any stock platform, your best option is to recreate visuals yourself.
You can either mock up the product using AI-generated images (if the branding isn’t too sensitive), or design a clean visual based on what the product does, not what it looks like.
Don’t risk pulling from Google ,even cropped or edited, it can get you flagged.
Focus on building a clean site first, even with placeholder visuals, then swap in custom media later once you’re approved.

That's a common challenge when starting an affiliate marketing blog. Building content before traffic is definitely the right strategy though. Since you're struggling to find product images royalty-free your options are a bit limited but not impossible. First consider contacting the manufacturer or vendor directly. Explain your situation and ask if they can provide product photos for affiliate use. Many companies are happy to support affiliates with marketing materials. Another option is to create your own images.

For mockups, it’s safest to create your own. You can use tools like DALL·E or Midjourney to generate visuals that match your product, without risking copyright issues. Avoid Google Images completely, even small edits won’t protect you.
And yes, it’s fine to leave media out for now. Focus on writing clean articles and getting traffic. Once you're accepted into an affiliate program, you can go back and add proper visuals.
About making money with digital marketing, there’s no shortcut, but you’ll go faster if you stick to one niche you understand and stay consistent. Build trust before you try to scale.

Good advice in here already.
One thing I’d add for AI images, I’ve had the best luck with Midjourney for product-style shots (especially lifestyle mockups), and DALL·E if you need something simpler and fast.
You can also use Canva’s AI tools to clean them up and make them look more polished.
And yeah, I agree just build the articles first. It’s more important to have readable content than perfect visuals at the start. Once you’re in a few programs, most will send you media kits anyway.

You can get product images from facebook marketplace
https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+get+product+images+from+facebook+marketplace
Google will not know as these images are not indexed by Google. This is a well known blackhat method,l to get original user generated images for free, but have some copyright issue.
