High quality CC-licensed images are easy. The majority of the collections include images that fall under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 2.0 license. While these images are fine for blogging, they cannot be distributed with GPL-licensed software.

CC0 is a public domain dedication from Creative Commons. A work released under CC0 is dedicated to the public domain to the fullest extent permitted by law. If that is not possible for any reason, CC0 also provides a lax, permissive license as a fallback. Both public domain works and the lax license provided by CC0 are compatible with the GNU GPL.

If you are distributing a GPL-licensed product with images, such as a WordPress theme or plugin, your best bet is to opt for using images with the CC0 or Public Domain license.

About Blog Articles

Different websites on the internet that got great content will always do much better than the ones that don't. You're probably wondering where all these websites and blogs got all their content, their great ideas, and their awesome articles. As you probably know, it's quite easy to write about things that you know about, something familiar. But you will eventually run out of material. And getting new ideas can be quite hard if you're not an experienced writer. Once you don't know what to write about you might stop writing all together. Yet, some people and websites seem to never run out of material, how do they do it? Where do they get all the ideas for the content, do they use tools? Outsourcing to other people perhaps?
The absolute best way to get nice content is of course to write it yourself. This is the easiest way if you're looking to get traffic to your salespage / affiliate link, if you are on a low budget of course.
You can outsource the work, the quality of this varies a lot depending on your budget. Some people charge 15 dollar for an article and other 1.5, and it's quite easy to guess which one will have the best quality. I would recommend that you start out by writing a few articles by your self, once you've made some cash thanks to those then move on to outsourcing, invest everything that you make from your blog into something new, a nice course, some content from a well known writer, or maybe some better design for your website.
Some people use Private Label Right - articles, or PLR in short. This is probably the worst thing you could ever do because these are sold to hundreds and even thousands of people, who just copy paste them into their website and expect amazing results and loads of traffic over night. These are the people that fail at making money online, I repeat again, do NOT buy Private Label Right articles.
If you need ideas on what to write, then you should look for what people in your niche is looking for, read some of the forums and read the top blogs of that specific niche to know what people want to read about. Try to keep up with the latest news and you will get loads of visitors and a nice reputation for your website. You shouldn't worry about SEO when you're first starting out, just write the article smoothly so it will look real, if you randomly type in your keyword then it won't make any sense. If you write a good article about a niche then you will get a good keyword ratio anyways, for an example, I didn't put any thought into SEO or even a keyword for this article, yet, You're reading it.

Copyright

Copyright law is different from country to country, and a copyright notice is required in about 20 countries for a work to be protected under copyright. Before 1989, all published works in the US had to contain a copyright notice, the © symbol followed by the publication date and copyright owner's name, to be protected by copyright. This is no longer the case and use of a copyright notice is now optional in the US, though they are still used.

In all countries that are members of the Berne Convention, copyright is automatic and need not be obtained through official registration with any government office. Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights. However, while registration isn't needed to exercise copyright, in jurisdictions where the laws provide for registration, it serves as evidence of a valid copyright. The original copyright owner of the copyright may be the employer of the author rather than the author himself, if the work is a work for hire.

Books in the Public Domain

The most books enter the public domain either because they are not copyrightable (e.g. certain government documents), or because their copyrights expire.

For United States are applied the following rules for entering the public domain:
- anything copyrighted prior to 1923 is in the public domain.
- works never published prior to 2003, and never registered for copyright prior to 1978 are now in the public domain in the US if they are by authors who died more than 70 years.

Life + 70: In the European Union, Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Australia (for new works), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ecuador, Ghana, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Russia (for new works), Serbia and Montenegro, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey, and Ukraine, copyrights tend to last for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years.

Life plus 70 years is also the standard duration of copyright in the United States for works first published after 1977. 

Orphan works

An orphan work is a copyrighted work for which the copyright owner cannot be contacted.

When the name of the creator or copyright owner of an orphan work may be known but other than the name is unknown. The work is not orphaned when the copyright owner protects her identity but provides means to contact her. Reasons for a work to be orphan include that the copyright owner is unaware of her ownership or that the copyright owner has died or gone out of business, in case of companies, and it is not possible to establish to whom ownership of the copyright has passed.

The most of orphan works exist in the collections of libraries, archives and museums, but precise figures are not readily available. Examples of orphan works include photographs which do not note the photographer, such as photos from scientific expeditions and historical images, old folk music recordings, little known novels and other literature.

Orphan works are not available for use by filmmakers, archivists, writers, musicians, and broadcasters. Because the copyright owner can not be identified and located historical and cultural records such as period film footage, photographs, and sound recordings can not be incorporated in contemporary works. mostly because of fear that a re-appearing copyright owner may sue them for damages.

The increase in orphan works is the result of two factors: that copyright terms have been lengthened, and that copyright is automatically conferred without registration or renewal.

ADDING fresh, relevant, useful content.

The more pages you build full of on-topic material, the better the chances your site will be found. When it comes to keywords, think big.

You want your site to be found via THOUSANDS of different phrases every month. Then you can lure that traffic to your best money-generating pages or to your newsletter sign-up page. Also, search engines prefer fresh sites which keep gradually adding new  content. Don't let your site go stale.

Super affiliate James Martell says:
"My own rule of thumb is this: Add a minimum of 1 article per week, 2 preferably. Adding an article daily is euphoria and adding 1 every sixhours, well, that's the best.
