* Pixabay.com – This is a free online image editor. You can spruce up your images that you have taken or purchased from stock photo sites to make them look more professional. Create memes, eBook covers, and even course marketing graphics using Pixabay.

* HubSpot Infographic Templates – Want to make an infographic to add to the course or to use to market the course? These free templates will help you do that. Using a template that has already been proven to work is much better than creating a new, untested infographic.
