Posts with photos get 94 percent more views, according to data reported by Jeff Bullas. While you may not be able to capture your own photos while on-the-go for your articles, no post should go live without a visual. PhotoPin, a free photo tool for bloggers, grants you access to photos from Creative Commons and Flickr. Simply type in what type of image you’re searching for, download and add it to your post. Remember, always credit your source.

Analyze Your Writing

Don’t have access to an editor? Don’t worry; Hemingway can help. The Hemingway app outlines the readability of your post in an easy-to-understand way. It highlights complex sentences in yellow and uses red highlights to show where the writing is too dense and complicated. The app also highlights adverbs and suggests replacing them with verbs, and it uses green marks to show passive voice. Hemingway includes a readability score, word count and editing tools at no cost to bloggers like you.
