Images are a good way to share information.  You might not think that you can make really good looking graphics.  Some of the powerful graphics programs might take some time to learn and master.  There are other simple solutions that you can use to make good looking graphics for your marketing purposes.

Get a good graphics program

You can use free graphics programs.  There is one that comes with the windows operating system called paint.  There are lots of free graphics programs that are open source.  Gimp is another powerful program.  Here is one easy graphics program that I really like

Make simple graphics

Learn how to make the images.  Start off with simple graphics. You are creating a new skill that you can leverage.  Your simple graphics can be used in many different ways online.  Use them on your blogs, social media sites and more.

Share them online

An image can share lots of information in an instant.  Use different colors and draw attention to areas that you think are important. Don't forget to include a web address in your image. Your image might get lots of views and people can type in your web address to learn more information.   You are now creating another source of web traffic.

Post them in your blogs

Add your images to your blog.  Add description information and alt tags with the keywords of your choice.  Your blog posts don't have to be a screen full of text without any images anymore. You can create simple images that provide some extra context.  Do you have lots of different blogs?  Each time you create a new image, it gives you another piece of content that can be added online.

Post them in your free classified ads

Are you making free classified ads?   Some of the free ad sites allow you to post images in your ad.  Take your free ad to a higher level with an attractive image.  A plain text ad might have powerful copy, but an image that instantly presents attractive information is really powerful.

Create a video with your graphics

Your created images have a lot of different uses.  Are you currently making videos?  You don't even have to appear on camera to make videos.  What about compiling some of your images that tell a story?  You can create simple slide show videos with your new images.  Videos present another potential source of web traffic.

Market with graphics

You might love writing content and using it as your main marketing method.  Don't close your mind to the option of creating graphics for your marketing purposes.  You don't need to be an expert to create some simple images.  Just get started.  You have to remember that it is going to be a process and that you are going to improve and get better at it.
