Why are images so important in blogs?

Can’t we express our ideas only with words?

Yes, we can, but it’s a bit boring.

I didn’t include any images in my previous blogs.

Maybe that’s one of the reason I didn’t get too much attention or maybe was because they aren’t interesting.

The fact is that images are as important as what we are expressing.

Images:

  • Get more shares
  • Improve readability
  • Make your post more visually appealing
  • Add your post to image search
  • Etc.

Sometimes I make the decision to read a blog based on the image they have, maybe it’s silly but most of the time it’s what they are trying to express.

So why wasn’t I taking advantage of the use of images in my recent posts?

Because wasn’t the priority.

Also, I was thinking of creating some kind of theme for the preview images in order to keep a consistency (like the same background, fonts or type of images).

In my previous blogs I used images generated by AI or from public sites like unsplash, but I think they were not visually appealing.

Now I have an idea of what the type of “theme” I want to follow on my blogs.

I hope that if you are thinking along the same lines you will find your own style.

Thanks for reading, see you in the next one.
