I subscribe to Connected Nonprofit and get weekly emails from Mandy ONeil. Im not sure how I connected to her, but she has outstanding ideas for the writing process. She has asked us to share her FREE information with all my friends. I thought Id share with you of Beths group. Her email on 8/14 was: Images work. Images bolster your opens, clicks, shares... you name it. Your audience loves images. Its why Instagrams popularity is skyrocketing and Pinterest is a major source of retail traffic. Pinterest refers up to 40 times more visitors to HSN than other social networks. Pinterest also dominates social media shares. Image - Original images related to your post work best. But you dont always have original images on hand. Neil Patel reported this week that Infographics, animated graphics, screenshots, graphs/charts, and even stock photography works for blog posts. He says that royalty free images performed the worst. Stop spending your hard-earned cash on stale stock photography! I thought you might like a list of some good great free or super-low-cost image sites that offer stunning images. Feast your eyes on these: Unsplash unsplash/ (stunning free images) Death to the Stock Photo deathtothestockphoto (free and paid subscription) Little Visuals littlevisuals.co/ (really great landscapes to overlay quotes for your Facebook posts) New Old Stock nos.twnsnd.co NASA nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/#.U-1xy_ldWSo (all government images are free to use) National Park Service Digital Archive nps.gov/pub_aff/imagebase.html U.S. Department of Interior Best buzzfeed/andrewkaczynski/the-45-best-photos-from-the-department-of-interiors-instagra#1vm4uxq (giving you the top list because there are almost too many images on Interiors Flickr site) Picjumbo picjumbo/ (if you like images with great angles) Gratisography gratisography/ (if youre looking for avante garde imagery) Getrefe getrefe.tumblr/ IM Free imcreator/free (nice because its categorized, some of the images border on stock photography-looking, does require attribution) Jay Mantri jaymantri/ (7 new images every Thursday!) Public Domain Archive publicdomainarchive/ Magdeleine magdeleine.co/ (requires attribution on some photos) Foodiesfeed foodiesfeed Picography picography.co/ Comfight compfight (yeah, its royalty-free and you must attribute, but you have so many images to choose from, you can usually find quality images)
