5 reasons to add images to social media right now

So why do so many business bloggers forget this? Why are their sites filled with words and empty of color, photos or images?

Here are five reasons to add images to your blog, Facebook, and other social media accounts today:

1. Drive traffic from Pinterest

The new big thing in social media, Pinterest, is all about the pictures. This growing monster is something all businesses should keep an eye on and utilize as soon as possible.

Everyone can see everything on Pinterest, which makes it ripe for the picking. All you need is one great image and people will come flocking, click on the link embedded in the image, and end up at your website or blog.

Of course, the image will need something to back it up or it is sort of pointless, but still. The idea is there.

2. Generate likes and comments
