Find images online that you can use on a blog, forum, social venues or any other places an image is needed
Finding images that you can use legally on a forum, blog or business website can be a challenge.
Many folks will just go to Google or bing and grab an image and think it is fine to do.
The reality is that unless you know the license of any given image, you could run into problems and they can cost you both financially as well as affecting your reputation.
The best way to work around these issues is to take you own pictures, but that can also be a chore for people so what are your options?
Thankfully there are people who understood these problems and created sites where you can find images for you to use.
We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words and you want to use the right images so I decided to list different sites for you to find that right image.
After you scroll down to see the different site, I also have a free tool to help you with your images...have fun
