En marketing, a great image is often a key component of the message. Constant need for pictures can dig deep into your pocket when using stock photography. If you want a particular image, then it makes sense to pay for the stock images as it will be a lot cheaper than to hire a photographer. What to do when you need images all the time, but their marketing lifespan can be measured only in days, maybe hours? Images for Facebook posts, email newsletters, individual slides in presentations that you use only once… Paying 10 or 20 dollars per image for these adds up. So where do you get free images? I have collected a bunch of sites that give you exactly that… free images for commercial use.

Which domains have the most engaged audiences in five verticals: women, politics, business/finance, science, and technology?
To determine the top publishers, we used BuzzSumo to retrieve the sharing metrics on more than 30,000 relevant articles between May 2014 and April 2015 relating to the five verticals mentioned above. In total, these articles earned more than 58 million social shares. We used BuzzSumo to retrieve the top 1,000 articles in each vertical that were published between May 4, 2015 and April 30, 2015 as well.
With this data, we identified the 10 publishers in each vertical with the highest number of total shares -- and learned a lot about content promotion along the way.

Images are important to use throughout a websites content but finding great photos can eat-up a lot of time. Images help attract reader attention by breaking up text and providing visualization. Adding images will improve also your SEO if a targeted keyword is included into the alt text. I found the fourteen websites listed above to be extremely useful resources, which I will definitely be of use in the near future!

I selected this article from Curatti written by Raymond Morin because it explains the latest results by Nielsen on the habits of social media users.
The biggest audience on social media is not millennials after all.
The Changing Landscape in Marketing Online
People between the ages of 35 and 50 spend the most amount of time on social networks. I agree that this reveals the younger generation prefer to spend their time on mobile devices.
Morin explains the details of the study and explains how brands need to respect the values of their community with genuine interactions on social media.

Fractl and Buzzstream surveyed 900 social media users to find out why users unfollow, and what behaviors companies should avoid. Earned media and customer engagement are two of the primary uses of social media for business, but why do people unfollow or unsubscribe? Via Lauren Moss, aufaitLibrarian

Survey data about why individuals unfollow brands on social media. But it lacks any reference to bots and automated follow / unfollow apps, and the focus on brands also scratches the surface of social media, which is driven by individuals. Also, it would have been more informative if they had compared the survey data to *actual* data. For instance, the number of people who *said* the unfollowed in the past week, compared to how many actually did.

Social Media doesn't work for the vast majority of small businesses. That was the main message in the USA Today article titled, Study: Social media a bust for small businesses, published on April 17th, 2013. From the news item:"About 61% of small businesses don't see any return on investment on their social-media activities, according to a survey released Tuesday from Manta, a social network for small businesses. Yet, almost 50% say they've increased their time spent on social media, and only 7% have decreased their time. What businesses are trying to get out of social media: 36% said their goal was to acquire and engage new customers, 19% said to gain leads and referrals, and 17% said to boost awareness. Facebook was most cited as the hardest to maintain social-media platform, according to the survey." There is a big lesson in this data...
