A blog post is not as user friendly if it doesn’t have an image in it. But more importantly a featured image if you are using WordPress! There are so many things to check before using or even sharing an image that you didn’t take. Make sure that you link back to the source of the image if it is Creative Commons.
I use Pixabay to find stock images a website free of copyrights under Creative Commons CC0. And it is also free to sign up!
Once I find the image I want to use for social media or a blog post I use Canva to edit or even just create a graphic. Canva makes it very easy to create social media graphics with plenty of templates to choose from!
I am no professional photographer but I do enjoy taking photos! Lately I am using my Samsung Galaxy S5 rather than my Canon 60D just because it is much easier to take photos with my phone than a bulky camera. I would like to spend a day playing with my DSLR soon! But until then I am having to use my smartphone.
Disclosure: I am a member of the #LifeOnFiOS Influencer Program. This means every month you’ll see a technology focused post from me. I come up with the topics. I write the words. The thoughts are mine.
