@bestwriter They give you tool to delete the watermark too if you pay them annual/image fee.  Pixabay is one of their sister concern which generally carries first row of Shutterstock images with watermark but those images are not for free use.

@shallo walia I am fully  aware of these rules but they do give free images to those who have an account with them.

In the process of uploading there could be stray cases when a rule is overlooked and this could happen even with those who are veteran writers.

@Ruby3881 There is no free trial period as such on shutterstock. You have to be a licencee user by paying an annual fee or pay per image as the case be. You have to pay according to size of the images as prescribed by them.

@bestwriter Royalty free images are the ones you can use on your blog but with credit to them. The use of water marked ones or the ones which need annual or one time payment is serious infringement of copyright act. The site has to pay for being careless in case of approval of such content on their website.

@Ruby3881 – What is the meaning of royalty free images?

@bestwriter To my knowledge, none of the Shutterstock images are free. There may, however, be some sort of free trial period when you sign up for the service. Any photo that appears on another site (like Pixabay) should be understood to be part of an ad for their paid service.

Regardless of your approach to writing or your goal in belonging to a…[Read more]

@Thinker Sorry, I’m no help when it comes to the nuances of American politics. I’m Canadian!

BTW, those who think Clinton and Trump (both terrible choices for president, IMHO) are the only options should give serious consideration to how Sanders differs from both. Whether or not people like his approach, he could teach many countries a thing or…[Read more]

This post sounds like a rant post. LOL. just kidding. Silly me. But for me ranting is what I do. lol Have a great day peachpurple.

@shaloo walia I have also posted one on EW day before besides I am a regular on 2 Indian sites. However, I suggest you to stay here. maybe they have finished the quota for the current month lol :).

On a serious note, as I had said in the beginning that I can easily post 150-200 posts per month on this site but delay in publication is a deterring factor.

@scheng1

You mentioned Donald Trump here? That’s funny.

I don’t know why people hate him. If we ignore that statement which the world considers racism (It was anyways a temporary suggestion and nothing more) and that Mexican wall (Mexico is not taking that seriously, why should us?), his plans are in the right direction actually. Everybody does…[Read more]

@shaloo walia I have not yet posted a rant post but I am seriously thinking to post one and money is not the concern but delay in publication. 

Yap, @lovern. One of my friend here pointed it out whose that person. I thought he was a man. However, a certain fellow LB member clarified it and informed me that he was not a man, but rather she was a woman whose tendency is to make matter worse if she didn’t like it.

She had been in different online writing sites and she was manifesting that…[Read more]

@nakitakona13, Do you know now who that person is? Why does he play hide and seek? Is there something he keeps from his identity?

@bestwriter no, the link you have provided here is not free. You can see the watermark of “shutterstock” which is proof enough that shutrstock has copyright on that image.</span>

@Ruby3881  – Shutter Stock does have many that are free. This particular owner of Shutter Stock as a huge album. And those photos have appeared on pixabay

Coming to the writing exercise on sites such as this it is kind of a sounding board for many such as you who are visible on the Net in a big way. Not poor me whose main…[Read more]

@bestwriter I am still not quite sure what’s up with these comments held for moderation. I don’t know why some are and others are not held for moderation. To be honest, I don’t make a point of checking to see if they publish. I will occasionally see by chance that one has or has not been added, but I don’t have the time to follow up that…[Read more]

@suny  Are images in this site for free?

http://goo.gl/VN8BAI

They need to know what they do not not. They might not be expert in dealing with business like this.They lack many things. The best site I know is Blogjob but sad to say it is partially dead.
