Spice Up Blogging Posts With Images
I just started adding up images to my blogging posts and it does make the post twice as good. Especially if the images somehow relates or expands on the blog content in a positive way. Bloggging for cash with images expands on the content and gives a different flavor to your blog.
And this led me to make sure that I do two things well to increase my chances for long term success.
1. Do Not Direct Link To Images
Direct linking of images is practiced by some blog or site owners today. Direct linking of images is when you use images by linking directly to the image source at another blog or site. This practice steals bandwidth from another site or blog. Stealing is never good no matter what.
Blogging posts by improper use of images is just not good blogging practice period. You may get away with it for a time. But many instances of this practice have led to negative effects like one day getting missing images all at once. Or getting a different altogether worse image – porn related or text that says, “image stealer” since the source of the image practically controls your images if they somehow change the links or go out of business.
Download the image to your pc and link from there or from a free or paid account at PhotoBucket or other. Using your own images that you took yourself is best if you have them.
2. Use Copyrighted Images With Proper License or Permission
Image or pictures come with personal and commercial for free or license use. Always be sure to use images with the proper license or permission. Getting slapped with a lawsuit only makes matters worse.
There are many free or paid images for use online. Do your research and practice better business practices.
A compiled list of free or paid images for personal or commercial use can be found here. Always read their Copyright Terms of Use policy first. http://www.freebyte.com/clipart_images_photos_icons/
Blogging posts and content with images are within your control and can be your most valuable asset. Promoting and following proper image license use will greatly improve your chances for success and leads to better blogging for cash habits.
