Don’t get sued for using Google images illegally

Finance & Legal | 1 comment

So, recently I was a part of the WordCamp web design conference in Kansas City. While most of the discussion was about web design, there was a LOT of discussion about photography.

Using Google to find images for your website or your marketing may seem like an easy option, but I heard a couple of horror stories at the conference where companies were seeking damages from images being used illegally. It’s just not a safe practice. And can be costly.

As an alternative, many of us use free photo sites like Unsplash.com, but I get frustrated because it’s hard to find a quality, unique photo that competitors aren’t using. They just don’t have the selection I want.

And, buying stock photography is just expensive.

I use photography all the time in my business. I’m always on the look out for great photography that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

This morning in my email, a friend shared an awesome deal that DepositPhotos.com is offering through AppSumo. You can purchase high-quality stock photos for your blogs, marketing, printing, video, personal and commercial projects. For $.49 per image!!! Insane. I’ve never seen high quality stock photography this cheap.

It was so good, I had to share it. I grabbed some for my business and thought you might be interested too!

My brain is finally starting to thaw out. The past couple of weeks in Kansas have been really cold. You might be able to relate. Our most recent 8-inch snowfall has almost melted completely. It's seems like Spring is right around the corner. Although we could still...
