It’s a common rule of thumb that using images as part of your blog posts helps draw attention to them and illustrate what you’re saying. Finding and creating these pictures can be difficult if you aren’t a photographer but there are plenty of places on the Internet where people are sharing their own photos for free or low prices. You have to watch the Terms of Use though, particularly if you are selling the article.
