Hi and welcome to this inspiring blog of mine. Today I sat down Thinking on how to improve the life’s of my readers and fellow bloggers. And I felt you should be rewarded for visiting this blog today. Click here to read my post on how to get rewarded on this blog. It’s my little way of saying thank you.

Today is 10th of February in my humble room in plateau state Nigeria and I just felt I should educate my readers on were to get free quality images for there blog post and avoid copyright infringement.
Why you must use images on you blog.

A picture can say a lot of words to readers because most readers love to see post structured with pictures.

Values of pictures

  1. Pictures add beauty to your blog post: when you see a post with pictures there is a sense of readability. It catches the eye and make your post interesting and beautiful
  2. Pictures serves as pictorial guides: let’s say you want to give tutorials on how to use a phone; your readers will appreciate more when you use pictorial step by step guides on how to use a mobile phone. it gives clarity and improve the quality of your post
  3. Show proofs: finally images can serve as proofs of activities or earnings. When you use your picture of adsense earnings for example, it will serve as a great proof to all your readers they will be encouraged and motivated and even see you as an authority.
Trust me guys, you can not afford to write your next post without using images. Hope you grasp my gist?

Copyrighted issues

99% of images you see online are copyrighted. I remembered when I started blogging I just jumped to Google to get images for my blog post until I began to learn about copyrighted picture and gradually began to stay off all pictures of Google. If you are a blogger and you don’t fully know and understand copyright, then you might already be guilty of copyright.

It’s very risky because you can be suide and asked to pay damages to the owner of the picture. I remember an incident that happened to a famous blogger who is a fan of using pictures from internet without with getting permission from the original owners. He used a picture on his blog and the copyrighted owner saw it and suide him to court and he was made to pay damages.

When he resumed blogging, he had to flag down all the images on his blog……..he went and purchased a camera for taking original shots for his blog and that made a lot of sense. He still went and took a 7 days course on Photoshop and other image editing software and at last he had original images. Just learn and be wise, don’t fall victim.

Where can I get free photos for my blog?

If you can not afford a camera for your blogging business, I will recommend the site recommended by my boss and teacher, yaro starek of entrepreneurs’ journey.com I use You can simply visit http://www.sxc.hu/ i.e. stock-xchng pictures. You can use the site for free. When I read of this blogger that was suide I was scared and went down to my blog and also flagged down the images and started uploading new photos. Instantly I started using stock-xchng and I must say it’s cool

Celebrities and you you can snap a picture of you and a famous blogger in your niche and use it on your post. This alone can increase your credibility and authority in the eye of your readers but if you don’t have any famous bloggers any were close, you can start by using your own picture on some posts or you can use pictures of bloggers you interviewed. Just make sure the pictures are looking smart. You can even use pictures of beautiful ladies in the world. This will make sense because naturally, ladies are admired more than guys so use them on your blog and trust me it will add beauty to post. But please don’t use bad pictures oooo

How to align pictures on your blog

Images on the right side of your blog is the best in my humble opinion, it catches attention faster and also beautify your blog.

When giving tutorials, you can use images in the middle or center of your blog post. Finally, before you publish I advise you tag your image for better search engine ranking and traffic. You can click here to read how to tag images on bloggers blog

Guys, am almost out of here, but remember, you can not publish your next post without images. And please make sure you get it from the right source and optimize it for better ranking.
Thanks for reading
To your blogging success
I love you so very much
