My aim is to give you 'a cup' of simple and easy-to-use tips for leveraging the power of Social Media to help grow your customer or donor base. I’ve been helping radio stations, small businesses and nonprofits engage with their audiences on social since the days of MySpace back in the early 2000s.

A Cup of Social Audio Blog EP3

Need good, clean, usable, legal, and fun graphics for posting on Social Media? Stick around and I’ll tell you about a FREE and easy way to get them. Hello, I’m Joe Laber, The Social Barista and Branding expert coming to you from my A Cup of Media studio. Welcome to A Cup of Social where I aim to give you simple and easy-to-use tips for leveraging the power of Social Media to help grow your customer or donor base. I’ve been helping radio stations, small businesses and nonprofits engage with their audiences on social since the days of MySpace back in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, I still see many businesses and nonprofits post graphics that are blurry and sometimes have watermarks on the actual graphic. A watermark is used to protect the rights of the designer, an example can be seen on the thumbnail of this audio blog. Posting a graphic with a watermark not only looks bad and unprofessional, but it’s also not cool or fair to the original designer. This info is not to shame any one person or organization, it’s just words of advice to help you with future posts. I also encourage you to make sure the graphic you are using is not pixelated or blurry in any way. Especially if it’s something like let’s say your logo or something that represents a sale or event you are hosting. You always want potential shoppers or donors to see you in a positive and professional manner on social. So maybe you are asking, Joe how do I find graphics that are not watermarked or blurry? I highly suggest you try the free version of a web-based design site called Canva. Yes, I said FREE. They also have a paid pro version which is what I use. I have dropped a link below. I love Canva so much that my next audio blog will be dedicated entirely to the wonderful world of designing social graphics with Canva. Want more advice on Social Media marketing?
