Tumblr is a Great Place for Finding Content


The growing need for fresh content that car dealers can use is forcing many social media marketing providers to turn towards multiple sources when looking for images and videos to post. Tumblr is an under-utilized resource for this.

There is an unlimited supply of content available on Tumblr. The best part of it is that the majority of it is designed to be shared. Sure, there are some posts that are private and it's often hard to catch content that has been taken from a source willing to fight the copyright battle on the internet, but for the most part the content is safe for sharing as long as you are a little careful.

Sharing on social media requires content. Dealers can either create content (ideally) or find content on the internet. For those who do not have the time or resources to produce high-quality content, Tumblr can be a great place to find great car pics.

Simply go to Tumblr and do a search. You can do general searches such as "cars" or you can break it down into individual makes or models. The supply is pretty strong regardless of your searches or needs.

As always, proper attribution is necessary. It isn't just a legal thing. It's an overall right way to go about doing it. When you attribute the source with a link, you're not hurting yourself. In fact, you're adding the credibility that comes with fair play.

If you're not on Tumblr yet, you should make it happen soon.
