Welcome to the Hive community @mcgabby77!
Apparently you do NOT have much experience on a paying platform, when you monetize images, you must source them, and for information, Google, Bing, Pinterest, Fakebook, NONE of those is a source for images, if you want a clean account, do not take images from them unsourced: you will start getting downvotes from the community.
Try Pixabay, Pexels, or Unsplash for royalty-free images, and lead your reader right to them by posting the URL when you get the image. Same for quotes, make sure to source your quotes as well and keep them brief.
Take your time and do not allow yourself to get overwhelmed, ask for help when you are unsure of things.
Again, welcome to Hive!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.
Seven suggestions to consider:
- Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
- Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
- The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
- DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
- Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
- An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
- DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.
I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

You really need to pull that Facebook image, go to one of the royalty-free websites and pick another one, unless you know the creator of that image and you have been given permission to use it IF they are the creator or owner of it.
