1- Find an Image That Reflects Your Content:

With lot of free stock photos it’s none too difficult to find a relevant image quickly. But just in case, if you cannot find one, capturing one with your cell phone camera is a great go!

While selecting an image you must consider a clear image that has space to fit some text in.  Don’t go for too busy images that do not have blank areas for text.

3- Take Care of Few Things:

While you are creating an image that you want to be shared more and more, make sure you take care of some small yet impactful points:

  • Text should be large enough to be readable when the image size is reduced to a preview size on social media platforms.
  • There should not be too much of text, but just a small memorable piece.
  • Your image must be hosted on your website where you have more details and call to action for the user when he lands on the page.
  • Include website name either in the bottom or watermark it somewhere on the image, just in case people just find the image and not the link, they can still come to your website.
