When it comes to using images for your website I find it very beneficial if you can use images that are either CC0 or PD because you can alter and customize them if need be. What I like doing is taking a relevant image and add text on top of it with a call to action. Sometimes I will also put my website or affiliate link on the image.
This can work wonders for those social media sites or Craigslist that don’t like affiliate links. Just type out your link on the image and post the image with a bit of content presenting your sales pitch. Sure it is not an actual clickable image but if someone really wants what you are promoting, they could type in the link manually.
These 4 following links of Public Domain image websites are a great place to start looking for images you cannot only use as is but can create something else out of. These links are listed with my favorite at the top, then second favorite, and so on.
