Full description of above 4 points are as follows:-

Use Image Target Keywords

Did you know that images are more helpful than text for contribute to SEO and you can optimize your blog images for the search engines ranking. Before you publish a post, remember to use your target keywords for each image used in your blog post.
  • Image Title 
  • Image Alt Text
  • Image File Name 
Once done, you can publish your blog post and these keywords won’t be displayed on your blog directly or on social media account, but search engines will read these and factor them in when calculating search rankings of your blog.

Use High Quality Images

This is compulsory that your visuals have to be taken by professional photographers, although that helps more but you can take many of your photos yourself or create using photo making software - photoshop, picasa, photoscape, as long as they’re clear and good looking. Always use bright colors, high contrast, and unusual images will help your visuals stand out of someone’s timeline or Pinterest board, just try this once.

It is also matters it should be attractive and interesting so that your blog reader stick to your content until it finishes. The visual content you choose should be relevant to the rest of your blog post on which you are adding your images because there is not any use of a pretty picture if it has nothing to do with what’s on the page, very simple to understand the importance of using high quality and relevant images.

Use Proper Color Coding

Wen you are writing a blog which is containing either one or more relevant images, make sure the color combination is up to the mark. Using more dark or more light colors without understanding about the visual effects, you will just force your reader to kick you out and shut your blogging career. Because your blogging career depends on your readers. The proper use of color coding will definitely keep your readers engage with your blog posts.

Use Proper Size of Images

Image size plays an important role in engaging your readers for long time with your content. So every use proper size wherever required, use photo software to increase of decrease the size of your image. 
Remember is it is too small that your reader is unable to read the text printed on the image or if the text is too big to cover on the image, then too you will loose your readers.
