If you are a new blogger trying to enter the market is important you learn all the steps to make you an outstanding blogger. You must be able to evaluate all the key features needed for you to thrive in the industry. One of the most important things is to know how to use the images and where to use them.
For your readers to be glued to your website, you should be able to deliver and make image transparent. The images you upload should go hand in hand with your content for you to get new readers. This post will look at some image publishing tips for new bloggers.
a) Ensure you can legally utilize the image
When searching for images, it's tempting to go to Google's image search and pick a choice. Do not do that since the images you get are likely protected by copyright. Using them can lead you into trouble.
The best places to get images you can legally use while publishing your blogs are sites that explicitly provide free images and stock photography sites.
b) Use various image options
When looking for an image to utilize in your blog post, it's easy to select the first one that you think will match your work well. However, sometimes, searching a little longer can provide you with a better number of images to choose from.
Additionally, if you are getting your images from stock photography sites, looking much deeper than the first handful of images, you will get something more unique.
c) Use images that signify your brand and audience
Some stock photos can be overused or a little cheesy, and it's crucial to keep looking to get an image that fits your brand and your audience. Furthermore, it is also essential to look at your blog's color palette when selecting images. Maybe you prefer to use images with many bright key colors, or soft, pastel colors would complement your site better.
d) Crop and edit photos to match your piece
Sometimes you may come across an image that requires a few modifications to work. If it's a landscape image and you want it to be a portrait, you may be in a position to crop it both on top and bottom for it to work. You can adjust the contrast and brightness if the photo is too light or dark.
e) Resize images into accurate width for your blog
If you are adding photos to post for your blogs, ensure the images are of the correct width before uploading them. Otherwise, they will need the blogging software to resize them, which might make them look fuzzy or consume more time to load. Practically it's good to have a standard width for all the photos on your blog. It should not be more than the width of the post content part.
f) Compress photos before you upload them
Each photo on your blog post will take time to load. If you have various images that contain a huge file size, your website will not be noticeable faster. Readers will become more impatient and leave before seeing your content due to the slow website loading.
Also, search engines increasingly support fast websites, positioning them higher in search results. Therefore, it is essential to compress your images.
