Free apps I use and love. My top 5 - Social media templates

Hello, my sweethearts! Today I will tell you all about my favorite apps and why I use them all the time. Let’s get straight into it!

My top 5 apps:

Canva

My absolute favorite app. I use it for everything. I love making my post and story templates there. It’s super easy to even make your own branding there – from your logo to the posting on different apps such as Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook – Canva has all the different social media image sizes and you don’t have to think about it at all! What is more, this app gives you a variety of free photos, elements, graphics and text fonts. I have youtube tutorials on how to use Canva to make stories, post or puzzles – watch the tutorials here.

Adobe Photoshop Mix

I use Photoshop for some basic stuff such as cropping or resizing my photos or adding some filters and effects on them. I also make my blog posts images on Photoshop.

Adobe Lightroom

I use this app to beautify my photos for Instagram and make my feed aesthetically satisfying by setting the same preset on all of them. See the presets I use here.

Google Analytics

This app is absolutely a must for bloggers. It helps you with tracking your audience – where they are from, how they get to your blog, what they use – mobile or desktop, at what time there is the most activity, etc. That way you know when the best time to post is and which posts are most interesting to your audience so you know what posts to do more of.

Preview

This app is making posting on Instagram easier than ever. You can upload all your future posts to it and it shows you the way your feed would look like. You can arrange and change the photos as you like all the time.

Another way to arrange your Instagram feed

You can arrange your feed in a puzzle grid which is very aesthetic. It makes your feed look more interesting and your posts cooler.

My puzzles’ sets include a bundle of 18 puzzle post templates which are totally editable in Canva so you can style them the way you want! This will help your posts catch the eye and that way your business will grow. You can change everything – the colors, the text fonts and the images.
