The Secret to Perfect Social Media Visuals (Infographic)
Internet users are focused on visuals as much as they are content. When you’re trying to promote your content and bring people to your website, the best way to grab their attention is by following today’s top social media best practices, and using fun visuals to catch their eyes.
Today I’ll show you one of my favorite tools for creating graphics that you can use on social media. After that, we’ll look at an infographic designed to help you become a social media rockstar in 2016 and beyond!
Capturing Hearts and Minds on Social Media (Infographic)
You can find dozens of tools for creating visuals on social media, but not all of them are created but I have a personal favorite that I always recommend, and that’s Canva. This tool is completely free to sign up for and use. Many of the graphics are free as well, with only premium options costing a dollar per graphic. But now you can also create Infographics on PicMonkey with their Templates, choose a fun post and give it a try. With our world becoming more visual, the old saying, A picture is worth a thousand words and is a great way to keep the attention of your followers.
Check out all that New PicMonkey has to offer.
Without any budget or even a budget of $5, you can create some truly stunning images in this program. I myself have made countless blog headers and social media images without spending a dime. It has an easy to use drag-and-drop builder and plenty of options to choose from.
You can use these graphics once you’ve checked out the best sites for blogging and set up your website for people to visit once they find you on social media.
Using this tool, combined with the social media cheat sheet I brought for you today, you can start dominating your profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and even YouTube! It’s all waiting for you below, so check it out and let me know what you think in the comments!
To help you out I found these reference books and to help me out if you should click to buy it will help me, Thank you!

This is all great information! The image sizing is the biggest one for me! It’s often a hunt to find out the proper sizes.
I was always misinformed about the social media banner sizes, also if you use PicMonkey they actually have templates to use now for the proper sizes.
