Separating yourself from the rest is the only way one can stand out ~ Charles Fuchs.
Whats Up STACKERS!
The last few months, there has been influx of new people here on Steemit recently so I decided to do a "Help" post for all the "Minnows" ππ π‘ out there. π
One of the hardest things to do on "Social Media" is getting the "Attention" or the "Eyeballs" that you need to get people to your posts or profile.Β
The "Pictures" (thumbnail) and "Title" is one of the most important things you need to focus on as it's the first thing people will see when they are scrolling though the feeds.
If the picture is generic (garbage) and the Title not interesting, people will just blow right pass your posts regardless if you had the best content or most interesting content of the day. π¨πΌβπ»
So how does one do that? Well, if you guys been following me for a while you probably already know but this is for the "newbs" π
I've been using a website called "Canva.com" where anyone can create beautiful designs and the best of all, it's 100% FREE! You can use it to make your pictures unique and rare so that it can bring you more attention.Β
There is a small learning curve to use Canva but once you master it, you can start making tons of new pictures for your posts with ease.
Usually It takes me about 10-20 minutes a day just to create my thumbnails π¨πΌβπ¨ on my posts but I can tell you right now, it's really worth it.Β
You can even save hundreds of templates that you made to reuse again and again for your pictures... here is one example what I created on "Canva" to "stand out from the rest". ππΌββοΈ
Be sure not to copy "others" including myself to make your templates, you need to create your own unique "presence" so that people will keep recognizing your posts. π
Hope this little tip helps some of you out. Focus on every picture and title that you do on "Social Media" as it can increase your "click through rate" to your page so that people will actually read your content instead of passing it by. ππΌββοΈ
On another note, your "Title" and the first sentence is also important when you do a post. Always put something interesting but I'm going to tell your right now, never "Clickbait" your titles. You will lose creditability over time as you will become a person not being really honest.
Just another helpful "STACKIN" Post from your boy Charles Fuchs ππ
Anything you post is beneficial to all steemians.
We all learning and getting better.
We all need to improve steem standards so the value will be rewarding for all of us.
Keep on steemin'

spot on bro! no one will give a damn about below average, normal & main stream content and pcitures... you gotta stand out from the mass in order to make the crowd aware of what you are having to say. Even if you have not much to say but stand out of the mass people will still notice you - which may be valueable in your next post

I haven't used Canva as of yet, but I'll try it out. I've been using photoshop mostly and another alternative. Photoshop is quite hard to use. Even though I've been using it for a very long time, it's still really complex for me... I guess I just didn't try hard enough to learn it. Canva seems awesome, so I simply MUST check it out π

In the days that people are more visual and there are just so many content jostling for attention it is imperative that you give your article a good image and title.
Go for a shock and awe. Make those eyesballs look at your image and then capture them with your title.
You can use https://coschedule.com/headline-analyzer# to check if your title is good.
All of this though is nothing if your first paragraph sucks so all these three things are important for your success.
I will check canva.com but I'm crap at graphics haha

An absolute life saver...Especially for noobs like me that can't even start up Microsoft Paint lol
Canva is a must and you are so right...We need 'graphics' to attract the attention and the eye balls. The content will keep them coming back but the images and title are the hook!
What I think is really cool what you do with your image brand is that little check list you have in each. That 'formula' is really important for people to see over and over again.
So you are killing two birds with one stone ;)

Thank you so much @stackin for this informative post you published.
Typically, TITLE is the door of your readers/audience so it must be catchy and juicy.
On the other hand, canva.com is a good site for starters but as you progress, do not limit yourself from other beautiful sites offering advance and easy tools for everybody.

Thanks for this awesome and much needed help @stackin! You might want to think Google as well, they scored you a new follower. You're the second one.
You see, I have been struggling lately on putting something decent out. My problem is I am new to all of this. I never engaged in creating blogs/vlogs, only reading/viewing them. I don't know how to create any type of image/art to polish up my content with.
I have decided to step back and learn more. I will still interact on steemit, just holding my stuff off for now. I decided this yesterday, and today, I have found very informative and much needed knowledge on where to begin. Canva is a tool I have been looking for the past couple of weeks. Thanks again @stackin!
