Do your blog posts lack something? Perhaps you’re trying hard, but you never seem to get more than a couple of comments – and you only have a handful of subscribers. The problem is, you don’t have hours to spend on perfecting every post – you’ve got a busy life.

Here are four simple, quick ways to improve any blog post:

#1: Add a Great Image

I’m sure you’ve heard this advice time and time again! Most blog posts, particularly longer ones, benefit from at least one great image. You can use images to:

Catch the reader’s eye, typically at the top of the post
Break up a long post, typically between paragraphs
Help the reader understand key points, perhaps with screenshots or photos alongside paragraphs of text

Where can you find images for your blog posts? I use Flickr – making sure to search for Creative Commons images licensed for commercial use. (You can do that with the advanced search here.) Remember to cite the artist/photographer, and link back to their Flickr page.
