I used Grammerly.com to grammar check this post

since a college education isn't all that it's cracked up to be!

The images you place on your product reviews are primarily what are going to make or break your review. Your images are what will draw the consumer into your site. When you post on social media networks such as Facebook and Google +, the image along with your teaser, is what will determine whether or not you receive that page view or not.

1- CHOOSE IMAGES WISELY

Too many images may cause a post to load slowly for someone, causing them to search for what they are looking for somewhere else! I generally tell the companies I'm pitching for that I will provide them with 3-5 pictures for a 250 word review and 5-7 for a 500 word review. These seem like enough pictures for me to get my point across without overwhelming my readers!

2- INCLUDE COMPANY LOGO AT TOP OF POST

I tend to be long winded with my opinions about a product and want to get into the nitty gritty details right away. Try to remember to focus on the company as a whole first by displaying their logo before you get into the specifics of the particular product you reviewed. If a company does not provide you with a logo, ask for one. I usually receive one via email as an attachment. Once a company sent a USB drive with their images on it to use!

-3- IF HOLDING A GIVEAWAY, SHOW THE PRIZE

-4- SHOW YOU OR YOUR FAMILY UTILIZING THE PRODUCT

If someone is reading your post then it is likely they are considering the product you are reviewing for themselves. Show them how it works and how it worked for you!

-5- DRESS UP YOUR IMAGES

I use Photobucket and Picassa to add fun borders and text to some of my images to make them more appealing to the reader!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
