When you're blogging, adding a picture to your post sometimes solidifies the point you are making. Breaking up the monotonous and endless paragraphs with a picture makes your blog eye appeasing in addition making it easy for readers to scan from one post to the next.

But adding eye-candy is sometimes difficult find and time consuming especially if you are going to generate photographs yourself.

There are several notable sites that offer royalty free pictures that can complement just about every thing you can blog about. One such site that we consistently use is http://www.sxc.hu/ or Stock Exchange. This site is the leading free photography site where you can download photos.

While you can use free photos from Stock Exchange, I would first consider using an affiliate program that pays you commissions. Art.com has an excellent affiliation program where you can simply insert their photographs and art work into your blog and get paid if a reader purchases a product.
