The old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”
is soooo true, but did you know that it is
also worth a THOUSAND dollars??
Let me rephrase a bit..
NO not literally $1000 – but in essence.
Think about THIS..
How many times do you look at a blog and see pics and click on them?
How many times have you picked a LINK over a pic?
(Not too many right?)
PICTURES make you ewww and awww like a 3 year old!
Want more of a response use a pic… just like blogging and video.
YOUR response for a video is usually higher than that of an article.
PEOPLE are LAZY.
There I said it.
It’s true.
THEY ARE.
If you had the choice of reading a blog or watching a video…
which would you choose?
I can’t count how many times I have heard this phrase…
When someone is asked…
“Did you read that book?”
The response….”I’ll wait till the movie comes out.”
WHY?
Cause WE are a lazy CREATURES.
Tell me I am wrong and I’ll call you a liar! 
SO add as many pics as you can to your blog, site, or splash pages.
THEN write me and tell me I’m RIGHT. Kim@KimShahan.com

You got it Kim! Different parts of the brain process or ‘decodes’ visual images differently than text on a page.
You’re tapping a human being evolution type of reaction which leads to survival thoughts.
We (humans) are wired to organize information into categories and go as far as separate pics as living and nonliving (to make it easy, simple and yeah so we can sit back (such lazy bums) and call up the category & not have to “think”).
Just think cave man time…man sees Big Black Bear image or a buddy grunts the words, Big Black Bear …which one do you think prompted a quicker sprint reaction?
Kim, Great topic for people setting up or revampting their blogs.
