We all know that tweets with images tend to get more engagement than plain text - tweets with videos even more so, but finding a continuous supply of high quality images and videos to engage your existing followers and grab the attention of new ones can be a challenge. To help provide a solution to this problem, I've shared three of my favourite sources of free images below. Each one provides a different type of content and you will probably have your favourite, depending on what kind of tweets you prefer, but they are all very valuable resources and I would recommend you use a mix of all three... Pexels Pexels contains thousands and thousands of photographs and videos which you are free to use for your social media posts, YouTube content, websites or pretty much anywhere else. I wrote about Pexels previously here and it's still one of my favourite resources. Many of the images really are of world class quality, from professional photographers seeking to showcase their work and gain more clients or commissions. Although most of them don't require you to credit them in any way, this is always a nice thing to do and is a great way to repay their kindness. Check out Pexels here. Canva Canva is a fantastic resource if you are wanting to post something more than just a photo or video because it allows you to add text and clip art, create infographics, marketing materials, physical print products, etc. There are tons of ready-made templates to choose from to give your creations a professional look and which you can also use to create your own branded style. Not all of the images are free, but plenty of them are and you can also upload your own images to the templates. Check out Canva here. The Vegan Truth Because most of the readers of this blog post will probably be my own Twitter followers, who are mostly vegans, I wanted to include this excellent resource. The Vegan Truth is a blog by M. 'Butterflies' Katz which includes 100 Vegan and Animal Rights Memes specifically sized for Twitter. 'Butterflies' happily shares these memes she creates in order to spread the vegan message and further the cause of animal liberation. She invites you to share them too and demands no credit or acknowledgement in return (but you can follow her on Twitter at @VeganPoet). Check out TheVeganTruth here. |
