There are a lot of fashion blogs out there, and there is one key quality that separates an average blog from a good blog.
This feature is images, because images really draw a reader in. These images can really be anything fashion related, so you should definitely consider using images in your blog.
That’s why, today, I’ll be showing you some great ways to find quality images for your blog. Every method I show you will be free, because I want this to be accessible to everyone.
I’ll be breaking everything down into easy-to-read sections, this way you can jump around this post if you need to. Here is a quick look at what I’ll be showing you:
- Stock images
- Using real photos
- Reaching out to sponsors
Now that you know what I’ll be getting into, let’s jump right in to the meat and potatoes.
Stock images
Stock images are an excellent place to start, because they’re 100% free. You can look into them on Google, and this works well for fashion blogs because there are plenty of great photos that you can find right now on your phone.
It doesn’t need to be complicated or complex, and you should be able to find some great templates. Plus, from the templates, you can expand on them as well.
Using real photos
Using real photos is also a great way to get images for your blog. This is due to the fact that real photos are unique, and it will show that you really take your blog seriously. Think about it, anyone can find a Google image, but when it comes to taking real life photos it shows a bit of ambition.
The photos that you should use will obviously be niche sensitive. What I mean by this is simple, if you feel as if a country fashion niche can be exploited with a picture of boots, you might want to go ahead and upload one of your own pictures. This is just an idea, but you get what I’m saying.
It all comes down to how much effort you show compared to someone else. At the end of the day, you need to choose photos that help your fashion blog standout.
Sponsors or ads
Advertisements and sponsors are also a great way to get some additional money and free content. This pertains to those of you that will be using your fashion blog as an affiliate marketing tool, but it’s still important to consider.
For this, you’ll have to reach out to people on your own. This is due to the fact that smaller fashion blogs don’t have a lot of reach, which means that nobody is going to come looking. So, if this is the route you want to go, I would recommend really going all out.
Final words
Images are what makes a good blog a great blog. When you combine high quality photos with high quality content, the audience you create becomes a strong one. Using images can really help pull a reader in further, which is definitely why it’s worth it to have them in your blog.
Fashion is an industry that has a lot of high quality taste, niches, and activity. To make your blog standout from the rest, be sure to keep things interesting with some solid images.
