Social Marketer members get access to an always-growing collection of fully-customizable Canva templates, designed to complement your Social Marketer captions perfectly.

Even if you’ve got zero design know-how, you can modify the templates in minutes to match your brand.

Here’s how:

1. Create a free Canva account
2. Find and click the link to your Canva templates
3. Click “Use template”. This will open a Canva file that’s now yours and fully-editable
4. Scroll down to check out all of the graphics in that file

Options:

You may choose to keep everything in one place like this, editing en masse, or go back to your Canva Homepage, create a new graphic (“Create a design”) and then copy/paste some or all of the template’s elements into your new graphic. However you work, remember that every element of every template can be changed to suit your personality perfectly. 

And it’s easy!

When you’re finished designing in Canva, whether from your Social Marketer template or a graphic you’ve created from scratch, save your creation to your computer or device and then upload it to social media as you’re creating your post. 

Note: Don’t forget to review Social Marketer’s tips for making the most of your curated social post captions so that both your copy and Canva graphics are set-up for success.

A note on sizing/dimensions: 

Social Marketer provides templates sized for Instagram (square; 1080 x 1080 px). If you’re preparing posts for other networks, you should size them accordingly. Here’s how:

1. Open your Social Marketer template in one window/tab
2. Go back to the Canva Homepage and click Create a design and select the design dimensions (ie: Facebook post). That’ll open a blank canvas in a second window/tab
3. Now find your Social Marketer template and copy the elements you want into that blank Canvas, shifting things slightly so they fit into the new dimensions. So simple!
