There’s a photo for everything
Trust me when I say there’s a photo for everything. Have you ever checked stock photos for LEGO? There are tons of them, like the one we displayed here. Even the funniest, weirdest or ugliest stock photos can give you the inspiration to write.
Say thanks
Nowadays, we live in a world where it’s very easy to create your own website. Where you use platforms like WordPress, use lots of free plugins and become big without spending too much on your website. If you are one of the few bloggers that make a living out of blogging, that’s great! In that case, we do have a request: if you use stock photos, consider thanking the photographer by donating a (small) amount to thank them for their work in making your website better. It’s up to you to decide if you want to do this and whether you have the means to do so, but consider it. We as bloggers owe a lot to the wonderful people out there who share their knowledge and resources for free.
A few final words
In this post, we’ve discussed why you should use images in your blog post and where you can find them. Photos and illustrations make your blog post more appealing and help you get the message across. Especially when you share your post on social media, a nice image could increase your exposure enormously. Make sure to pick or create original images for blog posts, that make you stand out from all the others!
