Placing a Photo in Your Blog Post = 1000 Words!

I’m here to discuss the importance of placing a picture in your blog post.

Make Money Using Images

A picture is worth a thousand words is a proverb that refers to the idea that complex stories can be described with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text.

I quoted this from Wikipedia.com, and it is the utmost important factor, to keeping a visitor reading your blog, make him/her read the article you just spent time writing, and make him/her return as an avid reader.

When a reader scans your blog, his eyes are focusing, if there is anything attractive in the page…you know you got a fish.

What an image does is, it pulls your eyes, and focuses it on something that is of interest at first glance.

The cons of not having an image..

Have you ever been to a blog that is only text? Ugh the feeling is awful, it’s like having a movie that has been filmed zoomed on one ugly face the whole time. Give it two minutes into the movie, regardless how interesting it may just be, you’ll want to smash the screen into thousands of pieces.

By creating something of interest in your post you can have readers amazed even without reading your content, and especially if you write something interesting, you’ll be hitting a home run.

Finding that image.

Finding an intriguingly cool image these days, isn’t too hard. There are many stock photo websites such as iStockPhoto.com that offer a huge range of photos to use to your own benefit. Getty images gives pictures for free, so make sure you use it for your benefit.

Type in a relevant search term and browse through the coolest image you can find. make sure it is the coolest one you like. Because it will be the coolest one your reader will like to.

I guess the wraps up this article.
