Ever throw your hands up in frustration when it comes time to look for an image for your latest blog post?
Let’s start with the bad news: a terrible stock photo is worse than no photo at all.
The good news? There are more free stock photos available now than ever before!
But you have to know where to look. And you need to understand a little about image licensing, like the difference between free, royalty-free, and Creative Commons license terms. Or else that photo you use could land you in legal trouble.
