For example, take featured images; inserting your post headline into it will make it more clickable when you share it across social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/getstencil.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stencil<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designwizard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Design Wizard<\/a> are great tools you can use to customize your images. When adding text, remember to <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Consider your brand image and your audience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when selecting your font<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Use images with darker backgrounds and minimal elements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will allow the text (in a lighter color) to be highlighted; these get quick attention from social media users <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b><i>Clear Images that Load Quickly\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Select high-quality images and, make sure that they are properly optimized to load faster (<strong>within 3 seconds<\/strong>). This means you need to <b>keep the image quality high, and the file size low<\/b>. This will also ensure that your images are responsive \u2013 loads faster across all devices.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to go with landscape images that are not wider than the width of your blog content. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>Add Images to Break up Text<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Split up big blocks of text with compelling and contextually relevant images to increase the time your reader spends on your post. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, it is recommended to <\/span><b>add an image for every 150 words<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But avoid going overboard, and be mindful of the type of post you write.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a name=\"Videos\"><\/a>2. Videos <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viewers retain 95% of the message when they watch it in a video while only 10% of it when conveyed in text. Next to images, videos could be your best alternative for text.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>Directly Embed Your Video in Your Post<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than adding a link or a hyperlink to a video, embedding a video in your blog post helps make it more dynamic and increase viewership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>Don\u2019t Aim to Cover the Entire Blog Post in Your Video <\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video you embed doesn\u2019t have to cover all the information you discuss in your post; it can cover just one point of it. For example, if your blog post is about SEO, you can add a video that gives tips on how to use SEO tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>Link the Video to an Image<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p>If the video is slowing down the loading of the page, \u00a0link it to an image of it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15085\" style=\"width: 656px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EfUhwl3Q91s&amp;t=80s\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15085\" class=\"wp-image-15085 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Creately-tip-Video-Screenshot.png\" alt=\"Creately tip Video Screenshot\" width=\"646\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Creately-tip-Video-Screenshot.png 646w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Creately-tip-Video-Screenshot-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15085\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Make sure that what you screenshot shows an intriguing part of the video)<\/p><\/div>\n<h4><b><i>Create Your Own Video <\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing a how-to guide?
