Day One of the 30-Day Challenge

Day One of the 30-Day Posting Challenge for Authors

September 1, 2021 by jmbaker

Using Canva to Create Graphics

Thirty Day Challenge 9-1-21, Using Canva

Stop procrastinating. Learn how you can create eye-catching graphics for your posts using Canva. Four minute video where I walk you through modifying a graphic and using your brand colors and style.

You can download a pdf of a blank calendar or access the template in Canva.

Judy Baker Book Marketing Mentor

Welcome to day one of the 30 day posting challenge. Every day in September, you are going to post to one social channel.

And I wanted to start by showing you how you can create graphics in Canva, just by modifying something that exists, or you can start from scratch. You don’t have to be a designer.

And here is the design I selected and modified.

The original is kind of beige, which is not my style. I’m a bit more poppy on my colors. I changed the colors around, changed the content a little, and I’m going to do that even more because I’m going to create a PDF so that you can print it out and fill in what you’re going to do. (I discovered I can share a template with you and you can begin your calendar with the template and make the changes you want right in Canva! 

And you can put stars or stickers on the days that you complete your posting. You can add a page title. This is a 30 day challenge. I want to make a copy of the design. I’m going to duplicate the page. I did some work ahead and will share it with you.

I went in and started filling in what I’m going to do. So you can see each day I put in what I’m going to do.

Today that I’m doing a video tip on Canva. Tomorrow I’m going to do something on author profiles on the third, it’ll be back of the book. And on the fourth, I’m going to show you how to use still images to create a video .

You’ll have blanks you can fill in if you print this out or go to Canva and use the template calendar.

All I wanted to do was come in here and make a change. And so on the sixth, I’m going to talk about branding.

Did you notice how simple it is to make changes? I can go in and change existing text by typing over it.

If I wanted to change the font, I can do that too, but I don’t want to do that right now.

I’m fine with, with what’s in there.
