TIps & Tricks: Canva, Google Reviews & EMojis

Here's a few tips and tricks that I use that you may not know about.

​Who doesn't LOVE an Emoji? If you don't, now is not the time to speak up! 🤔
They are a great way to spice up a post 🌶, reduce your character count on Twitter ♥️ and introducing emojis to your posts also gets a boost in the algorithm.
You can use them is blog posts too. Especially if you aren't using any other images.
Use ⬇️⬇️ to point to a link, or replace bullet points with emojis for a list.

​On a MAC it’s  CONTROL, COMMAND and then the spacebar. On a PC it's WINDOWS and then you can use a semicolon or a period. Just be careful that you know what the emoji means, seriously! 😜

​One of the best ways to help out a local business (other than actually shopping there) is to write a Google review! ⁠

😲Google owns 97% of the search market! 97%!!!⁠
😀Having a Google Business Account is FREE⁠

⭐️⭐️If you are a small business make sure you have a Google Business Account, it's FREE and easy to set up. ⁠

​I use CANVA every day, almost without fail. If you have a paid account you can create a post for a social media platform and then resize to fit any of the other platforms you wish to post on with just the click of a button. It saves you a ton of time with just a few tweaks needed once the graphic has been resized.

PRO TIP! I create my social media posts using the 'Instagram' size and then resize in 'Twitter post' size and use that for Facebook & Linked In too! It doesn't sound like much but it saves a ton of time.
