Social Media is one of the best ways to gain exposure and grow brand awareness. But, to get shared, liked or even noticed you need to stand out, and text alone doesn’t do it. Luckily you don’t need to be a graphic design genius to succeed when it comes to social media. You just need the best tools for the job.
Social Media Tool 1: Canva
Canva is like a treasure box of social media templates. It makes it extremely easy to create great posts for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and even Instagram stories. Pretty much any social media template you will need is loaded in there ready to be simply edited. And they’re free to use! There are of course images, graphics and stickers in their library that come at an extra cost but there’s more than enough free options to get you updating your social media profiles regularly and creating fabulous content that helps you succeed at social media.
Social Media Tool 2: Unsplash
Unsplash is a huge library of free professional photos. Yes free! You can download the perfect photos for a social media campaign, ad or simple post. Put this together with the free templates you have in Canva and you’ve got a way to create professional, share worthy content in minutes.
