100% FREE Online Image Editor

I am a big fan of Canva and create most of my blog graphics with it but there are some limitations that I have found. As of this writing, there isn't a way to erase the background of an image yet using Canva but there is with iPiccy. The following is an example of what I mean by removing or erasing the background of an image.Now keep in mind, I didn't spend a lot of time working on removing the background so it isn't perfect. I'm just trying to illustrate what can be done with this free too

My Hat's off to Wealthy Affiliate on another job well done!

Have ya'll noticed how much faster your website has been loading recently? I sure have! Then I remembered a recent post by Carson about 2 new additions to the WA platform: Free SSL for SiteRubix sites and the new SiteSpeed Extreme option. Boy oh boy, my sites are loading incredibly fast on my desktop and mobile devices. You should have the extreme option enabled by default but if you don't, I highly recommend giving it a try! For me, my scores on Google Page Speed Insights went up from 96

FREE Browser extension to screenshot with Google Suggestions showing

From my experience, trying to get a screenshot with Google suggestions showing like the image above was impossible with the built-in snipping tool for Windows 7. If you've tried with the default snipping tool in Windows 7, you know what I'm talking about.In order to accomplish this type of screenshot, the snipping tool that you're using needs a delay capture function. I hear that Windows 10 comes with a snipping tool that has this function built in but I'm still using Windows 7 so I can neith

Free Keyword tool right in your favorite Browser

For those that may interested, a handy extension for either your Chrome or Firefox browser called Keywords Everywhere allows for search volume and CPC & competition data right in your favorite internet browser.To me, it's taken the place of the Google Keyword Planner as you're only allowed to see ranges and not exact search volume now (not for free anyways).The cool thing about this browser extension is that it will also work with many other websites and tools you may already be using. Sea

Can you legally take a screenshot of another website?

So, the question of legality came to mind one night as I was taking a screenshot of Amazon to better illustrate my point for one of my blog posts. I started wondering if this was potentially in violation of copyright laws.I'm no lawyer so I decided to do a little research online just to be on the safe side. From what I've gathered, posting a screenshot of a public site seems to fall under Fair Use. For those not familiar with the term Fair Use, it is the U.S. legal doctrine that permits the u

Celebrate your Independence with a new Superhero Mentality

So many people want independence from their 9 to 5 jobs but aren't willing to put in the work that's necessary to accomplish this goal. There's no magic formula for success. It's just good old-fashioned hard work and the drive to succeed.I have been reading a lot of the success posts by other WA members and have noticed one common theme...they have all worked their tails off. They've put in the time to create posts. Lots of them. They've also followed the principles being taught to us by K

A Welcome Surprise This Morning

Well this was a nice surprise this morning. I was just trying to help fellow WA members whenever they had a question that I had an answer for. This is awesome and I'm grateful for the new badge. I'm going to continue to be active and help out when I can as well as learn from other members. There's still a lot do to do including achieving enough success from my website(s) to quit my day job. That is the post that I'm most looking forward too :) Best Regards,Mike

Focusing on the right things to maximize your WA experience

So, I have been noticing more and more people that are questioning whether anyone here at Wealthy Affiliate is actually making any money with the methods being taught here. I have even noticed one person asking to see replies to his post with only screenshots of how much other WA members have made from affiliate commissions. We all realize that there are tons of scams online so I can understand some of the skepticism. Instead of focusing on whether this platform is legit or not, maybe you sh
