Visual Content, that’s what’s up!
[bctt tweet=”Visual content, that’s what’s up! #blogging”]
I love me some wordage, but for social sharing purposes, sometimes you just cannot beat a visual. So today, I’m sharing 3 of my favorite ways to create and edit those pictures and graphics…
Get that hashtag ready, read, and share #visualcontent!
First up:
- Pic Monkey!
Why we love it…
Because it’s Luscious and Lovely, of course!
Ok, so the “Luscious and Lovely” font is one of PicMonkey’s “Royale” features, but you have a ton of Free options too. I used the free resources offered on this wonderful site for a long time, like cropping, enhancements, and overlays. I later upgraded to Royale as I found the small monthly fee a great investment for the Immensely Social blog and those of my clients.
Whether you choose to go the paid or free route, PicMonkey has some fabulous ideas to create catching visual content for pins and posts. You can check out their blog for ideas: The PicMonkey Blog

- Canva
Guy Kawasaki has now joined this Australian based start up to show us bloggers how to create some easy, yet fabulous graphics.
When you visit Canva, you are presented with these design templates to get you started, from Pinterest graphics to Kindle covers…
The dimensions are already worked out for you on common projects like Facebook Cover Photos. There are some pictures and graphics that require purchase, usually $1 a piece, but many are free. Check out a couple of my favorite FREE Stock Photo sites to get some pictures you can use:

- Infogr.am
This one is new to me and I have not played around with it much yet, but as I am committed to making more infographics,I look forward to it. The layout looks similar to Canva, but Infogr.am is geared towards charts and infographics which are rising in popularity on Pinterest. This one is a great option if you have some statistics to share!
I spent a few minutes creating this one to test the waters:
