Good Morning Theo
We all know that these days images are a big part of any successful social media strategy. Whether it’s a full infographic or a feel-good quote. What most of us don’t know however, is how to actually put together these images ourselves!
So here’s 3 simple online resources you can use quickly, easily – and for free!
(1) https://www.canva.com/
Online insiders are saying this is one of the best image creation tools for non image creators ever! You can do a complete start to finish product in minutes. Canva makes image creation super easy (especially for non-designers) with their premade templates, custom image sizes for every social media channel, drag-and-drop interface, cool fonts, and more. Most every original image you see shared from our social accounts was made in Canva.
(2) Do you have Powerpoint on your computer.Then check out these great infographic templates from Hubspot: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/free-ppt-infographic-templates-designs-ht
Powerpoint might not be the first thing that comes to mind for image creation, yet there are a large number of amateur designers who get great use out of creating images via the templates and tools baked right into PowerPoint.
Think of slides as images. And then consider how easy it is to edit slides in PowerPoint. You can set photos as slide backgrounds, add text and colors, and place icons and graphics. When you save the slide in PowerPoint, choose to save as an image, and you’ll be set.

Some of our most shared content suggestions and most popular social updates are quotes. You can take quotes to the next level by creating images from them. At Recite, simply enter your quote into the editor on the homepage, and choose a layout from the long list of templates.
