I found an Easy way to get Pictures for your blog post for Free, and all you need to be is an Amazon Associate Affiliate Member. Not only are the pictures good quality, but you get paid a small commission if your product picture link generates a sale. The commission varies from 4% or more as your sales conversion rates go up for your blog or website.

Although, you need to modify your image link and save the image to your own web hosting server. Plus, link the image back to the affiliate link Amazon gives you to advertise the product on your image in order to get commission and cite the source for the image. If you are running out of space on your web server. You can also use free image hosts like Tinypic, photobucket, or Imageshack, etc.

Example of the image code for Amazon.

<a href=”http://Amazon porduct page”><img src=”http://link to your image”></a>

<a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JCSV5I?ie=UTF8&tag=johsgamsto-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B002JCSV5I”><img src=”http://johnsonyip.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/517+bpHK4HL._SL160_.jpg”></a>

If you use Blogspot, you can set up your Blogspot account to be connected to your Amazon Associates Account, so you can search for images directly from Bloggers posting editor while you post. You can skip the image link and uploading your picture to your web server step since Blogger and Amazon Associates Module on the post editor in Blogger takes care of all the technical aspect. All you have to do is search for the product on Amazon Blogger post module, and position your image with the editor in blogger for post.

You can also use the Amazon Associate Blogspot code from the side bar widget in the post editor for blogspot, so you do not have to upload the image you save from Amazon to your webserver since the blogger Amazon codes also work in WordPress in the HTML code view, but the Visual editor tends to break the code in my experience.

You can get the Amazon code in the HTML view of the blogspot code post editor.

Using Amazon Associates for your website images is worth the time and effort since you would not need to go on random websites on the internet to find a suitable picture for your blog post or take the picture yourself by investing in a good digital Camera since most Cell phone  and very cheap cameras are bad when it comes to taking photos. Plus, you can earn some money from commissions if someone clicks your Amazon product image link and they buy something from Amazon.

Blogspot custom domain

The advantage of having a custom domain name for Blogspot includes looking more professional by having a custom domain name for your Blogspot blog, and readers can get to your blog faster from the address bar if you have a short domain name.

Plus, having a custom domain name will improve your search engine optimization rankings since your blogspot custom url link will have a link with keywords related to your blog.

For example, if you search “Johnson Yip” my website Johnsonyip.com is located at the top 5 of the search results for most popular search engine like Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing, etc.

Domain names are not expensive since they only cost about 10.00 a year if you buy it from Godaddy’s Blogger domain program.

But, I recommend buying your domain name directly from GoDaddy, 1and1, or some other domain register since it can be cheaper if you have a promotional codes or there is a sale on buying domain names.

I recently decided to use my http://www.PCtutorial.info domain name for my blogspot blog at http://johnsonyip1.blogspot.com since it was not really doing anything, but redirecting people to http://johnsonyip.com/wordpress .

PCTutorial.info will be more of my casual tech posts related to gadgets, video games, and my tech related journals of what I am up to in the world of tech instead of educational like this blog.

By having a personalize domain name for my blogspot blog, it motivates me to blog more since it feels more personal and unique having a custom domain name compared to having a boring blogspot user name like example.blogspot.com like most blogspot users.

Users who visit your blog might take it more seriously since it has a custom domain which differentiate you from many blogspot bloggers who have subdomains and write about boring stuff like how they hate their job or don’t really write blogs at all.

We name the things we love, so why not link buy a custom name for your Blogspot blog if you love it?

Get back more Free space on drive

Read tips on how to get back some free space on your computer, laptop, netbook without spending any money or very little money. One of the biggest problems, I have with computers is that they always seem to run out of space very quickly, so I can’t record as many TV shows to my computer with my TV tuner card, or I can’t install as many games. But, I don’t always have the time or money for buying a new computer with a bigger hard drive or buying a bigger hard drive for my computer. I usually need to think of a way to get rid of junk files and duplicate files, so I can record an extra hour of TV on my computer hard drive.
