What do you do if you need to create social media content, but you’re not a graphic designer and hiring one isn’t a cost-effective option for your small business?
Let us show you how you can do it yourself with our course Creating Engaging Visual Content for your Business Social Media Posts.
When you register, your tutor will contact you to schedule one-to-one time to work together via webinar. You’ll share a screen using one of a number of platforms (e.g. Skype or Zoom). Plus, you’ll have access to information via our online resources to help you along the way.
This hands-on workshop will introduce you to a variety of free and easy-to-use tools to help you craft visually appealing posts for your personal or business Facebook page. Even without an artistic background, we’ll show you how to create social media content that’s engaging and supports your brand message.

• Finding inspiration for your post content
• Accessing and using free graphic design software/content creation tools
