Have you started a blog? Do you manage a blog?
Ever wonder how small companies get those nice professional graphics?
CANVA is here to save the day!
Canva is a fabulous website I recently
discovered that has the best graphic design interface (that is still very
simple to use!) for building graphics for blogs or other social media posts.
The Canva homepage where you can
create anything from a Twitter post to a blog graphic with the simplicity of
a few clicks.

Never underestimate the power of a good graphic!
You could have written the most fascinating article about whales going extinct
and if you have a terrible (or just not interesting) graphic, the amount of
clicks your article will receive will be affected.

So, why are graphics SO important? According
to an article by Digital
Pomegranate, here are the top reasons:

- First impressions are everything
- There's a penny covered in mud and there's a shiny
penny. Which one do you pick?
2. Instant Credibility
- A good graphic means that person or company cared
enough about their product/brand to make sure their graphics were visually
appealing for their viewers.
3. Help the viewer get things done
- What do you want your reader to do? Buy a t-shirt? Read
your article? Donate to a cause? A good graphic will push your readers
into doing what YOU want before they even realize it!
4. Enhance the impact of your brand or message
- We are visual human beings. We will always look at the
pictures before reading the words, so you better have a good graphic!
A well-designed
graphic can mean the difference in 50,000 page-views and 10 page-views. Which
would you prefer?
