Have Something to Say, Do It With Pictures - Thoughts on Photo Blogging

Not every blogger wants to sit at a keyboard all day pounding out their thoughts. Nevertheless, there are a good number of people who would like to tell their story and their life experiences, rather than writing a novel that no one will read. Today, it appears that our population as a whole is quickly developing ADHD tendencies as they surf around the Internet. Several studies have shown that the average web server spends around 15 seconds per page as they are clicking around online. For this reason it makes sense that bloggers should use videos, pictures, and graphics to tell their story.

Interactive blogs tend to do better, have more followers, and allow the individual blogger to project their thoughts to the world. That's a good thing, and if we really stop and consider this, and the old quote; "a picture is worth 1000 words," and the reality that a video is probably worth even more, then it makes sense to do more Photo Blogging, and blogging with videos and interactivity. Perhaps fewer words are better because long paragraphs are things which people no longer read, no one is going to sit at a website and read all the blog posts one after another, if they are thousands of words.

However, they may look at 10 or 12 pictures with a few words in between, and therefore the blogger can get across their message, and the reader which has now turned into a viewer can surf through and feel as if they've learned something, and captured visually pleasing images that tell a story. Therefore, if you have a blog and you have something important to say, you might want to consider doing it with pictures, photos, videos, and graphics.

It makes sense that if you do a lot of traveling, that you can take pictures of every location you went to, with a few words after each, and you can tell a story about your adventure without someone having to read an entire travel journal. Another point I'd like to make and I believe this to be very important is that people generally don't like to scroll down the page, and if they are reading paragraph after paragraph and they have to keep scrolling down the page, eventually they're going to click out, because like I said, people have ADHD tendencies these days, and they really don't like to read online that much anyway.

I wish you all the success in your Photo Blogging, and if you aren't Photo Blogging yet, perhaps you might add more photos to your blog, and slowly work into more pictures and fewer words. I think your followers and subscribers will be happier, and if you do post a long article now and again, they may just read it because you've captured them first with pictures, videos, and graphics. Please consider all this and think on.
