A question that I have seen quite frequently is “What kind of graphics do you have to make?”
This answer depends on the type of person you are working for and if you signed on offering creative services. Let’s say you have a small creative background and are working for a person in the blogging space.
In this scenario, aka the scenario I am in, you graphics may look something like this:
Gift Guides
Tis the season for gift guides! As you may know influencers/bloggers make a good chunk of their income from affiliate links!
Affiliate links are personalized links from companies that will give you a small percentage of money when someone purchases an item using that unique link.
This makes graphics a great way to roundup items and share with your audience. Especially around the specific holidays!
Roundup Posts
Roundup posts are when you gather up a list of your influencer/blogger’s favorite items, or items that make sense together.
For the example down below, I did a roundup post of some of the best gift ideas that fall into the Amazon Prime category. Some other examples of roundup posts include: what’s in my cart, Amazon recent purchases, holiday decor, best Christmas trees under $100, new Walmart arrivals, etc.
Thumbnails
Thumbnails are another fun one that I mainly do for Youtube and Amazon live videos! I enjoy creating them because there is a large space to work with, and you get to create something that pops!
Pinterest Pins
Another fun one to do is a Pinterest pin! Pinterest pins are typically pretty easy to throw together. All you need is an image and the words of your title!
Why Graphics?
Almost all of these posts get posted on Liketoknowit or Amazon storefront. These platforms are mini search engines where users can shop. That makes having graphics like these crucial if you are looking to make some money!
What I Use to Make My Graphics
Canva is a godsend. I use canva to create every single one of my graphics. It is easy to maneuver and has lots of different functions. I use the pro version, and I think it is necessary to upgrade if you want the “remove background” feature that photoshop has.
If I were to compare photoshop and canva I would definitely go with canva as it is an incredibly easy platform to maneuver. However, photoshop has many more capabilities once you learn it. I never mastered photoshop, so I have always been a canva enthusiast.
