How do you put in the bottom right or left corner your name or some other watermark?
A good article on the subject:

I used to watermark (sign) *everything* but one day just stopped, at least for my casual and artistic efforts. For commercial, where I sell pics of marching band kids performing, I use an unobtrusive Lightroom sig located bottom right and easily covered if matted (I don't have time to change this while processing, so sometimes, when the colors don't line-up, it gets lost). But, make no mistake, I think any time my eye is drawn to *anything* other than the art, it's ugly. I've recently gotten into framing and mounting some of my stuff and of course there's no watermark or sig...but on the backside of the piece I put the title and my name. I think that's enough.

Distracting yes, but watermarks such as this are not easy to remove.

Really?
And I do not consider myself all that skilled, but there are plenty of easy tools available that anyone can easily use.

...yes for textured monochromatic surfaces it's quick and easy...but put a face in there or any kind of detail...this is what he puts up for sale, pretty sure, the customer doesn't receive it this way...

Maybe 15-20 seconds....
Opened it up in Snapheal and erased the copyright symbol.

Agree - it depends, but with enough practice and the right tools it may be worth some thieves time and effort. :)
Pretty much, if you post anything anywhere, no matter what you do, it can be stolen. Digimark embeds copyright data within the image data, but that is changing the data, so it might very well degrade the image.

As a tool do you think Snap Heal does a better job than Photoshop's Content-Aware Healing brush?

It depends - snapheal is fast, but Photoshop is finer control I think.
