Do you {watch|view|enjoy|see} {television|tv}? Do you like art? Do you {love|like|enjoy} the {sunrise|dawn|daybreak}? Do you like {looking at|taking a look at} {attractive|appealing} {people|individuals}? Well then you are a visual {person|individual}, as {most of|the majority of} us are who can see. And when you are a visual {person|individual}, you will {respond to|react to} images that you see.

{For instance|For example}, when I see {an ad|an advertisement} for a cold Pepsi ® on a hot {summer|summertime|summer season} day, I {start|begin} {craving|yearning} one. Or when I see {a beautiful|a gorgeous|a stunning|a lovely} {piece of art|art piece}, it {calls up|contacts|calls|phones} memories, {usually|typically|normally|generally} of my {childhood|youth}. It is visual {cues|hints} that {big|huge} {advertising agencies|ad agency} and {marketers|online marketers} {have|have actually} been {counting on|relying on|depending on} {since|because|considering that|given that} print {ads|advertisements} in {newspapers|papers} {and then|and after that} {of course|obviously|naturally} commercials on {television|tv}. So as online marketers, we {should|ought to|must|need to} take our {cues|hints} from these bigwigs. They {have|have actually} {poured|put} {millions of|countless} dollars into marketing which {prove|show} that {imagery|images} works.

So with that being {said|stated}, as you {write|compose} and {publish|release} more {articles|short articles|posts} {across|throughout} the web - you can get one {leg up|upper hand} on your {competition|competitors} by {adding|including} a "visual {element|aspect|component}" to your {articles|short articles|posts} - {add|include} an image.

If you {notice|discover|observe|see}, for the last {several|a number of|numerous} weeks ({maybe|perhaps|possibly} months), I {have|have actually} been {adding|including} images to my {blog|blog site} {articles|short articles|posts} on this {site|website}. Now while I can {not do|refrain from doing} that {for every|for each|for every single} {article|short article|post} {directory|directory site} I {submit|send} to - I can do it on my own {site|website} and I {must|should|need to} {admit|confess} that they look {great|fantastic|terrific|excellent}! It {gives|provides|offers} my {articles|short articles|posts} a more {polished|refined|sleek} {look|appearance}, as I {also|likewise} {strive for|pursue} the images to {serve as|function as|work as|act as} a visual {cue|hint} for the {article|short article|post}'s {topic|subject}.

Not {only|just} do I {think|believe} they look more {appealing to|attracting|interesting} my readers, {but|however} reader {statistics|stats|data} {have|have actually} {shown|revealed} that {since|because|considering that|given that} I {have|have actually} {implemented|executed|carried out} {adding|including} images to my {articles|short articles|posts} - my {site|website} {statistics|stats|data} {show|reveal} that {people|individuals} {stay on|remain on} my {site|website} {much longer|a lot longer} then they {use|utilize} to.

Where Should You Get {Article|Short Article|Post} Images?

Well, one time I was at {an internet|a web} conference and {one of|among} the "platinum" {experts|professionals|specialists} there {told|informed} {everyone|everybody} how she would go on Google, {search for|look for} an image, {save|conserve} that image {and then|and after that} put it up on her {site|website} or her newsletter, {etc|and so on}. This was her {advice|guidance|recommendations|suggestions} to {hundreds of|numerous} {people|individuals} there! It was dead {wrong|incorrect}.

{Every time|Each time|Whenever} you "{just|simply} {grab|get}" an image from a image search and {place|location} it in {one of|among} your {articles|short articles|posts}, you are taking the {chance|possibility|opportunity} that you are {violating|breaking|breaching} copyright {infringement|violation} laws. Plus - {many times|often times|lot of times|sometimes} the owner of that {site|website} paid a service for the rights to those images - {but|however} you {haven't|have not}. Now I {realize|recognize|understand} that {people|individuals} do it, {but|however} it's {not right|wrong}.

This is what I do {instead|rather}:

1. I {invest in|purchase|buy} stock {photo|picture|image} images. There are {lots of|great deals of} {sites|websites} out there that have {great|fantastic|terrific|excellent} {low-cost|inexpensive|affordable|low-priced} images. You can {buy|purchase} {subscriptions|memberships} or pay per image. {Price|Cost|Rate} {depends on|depends upon} the size of the image. {Most|Many|A lot of|The majority of} {blogs|blog sites} {only|just} {need|require} the xsmall image size.

2. I do {searches for|look for} {free|totally free|complimentary} images. There are {a lot of|a great deal of} {free|totally free|complimentary} {licensed|certified} media {files|submits} out there. You can {find|discover} a lot on the {free|totally free|complimentary} encyclopedia {sites|websites} online.

3. I do this {occasionally|sometimes|periodically}, {but|however} you can {always|constantly} take your own {photos|pictures|images}. {A quick|A fast} shot with your digital or {computer|computer system} {camera|video camera|cam|electronic camera} and you{'ve| have actually} got {great|fantastic|terrific|excellent} images {instantly|immediately|quickly}. No {worries about|stress over|fret about} attribution.
