13 Free Design Tools for Visual Marketers on a Budget

13 Free Design Tools for Visual Marketers on a Budget | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but let's be honest a pretty cover sure doesn’t hurt. That’s why -- whether it's lead generation content, social media content, calls-to-action, or an infographic for your blog -- it’s important to make your marketing materials as visually appealing as possible.

Problem is creating all these beautiful visuals isn't exactly every marketer's forte. Oh, another problem? Design software can cost an arm and a leg (plus all the classes you need to take to learn how to work the darn stuff).

But there's good news! There are plenty of free and easy-to-use tools out there that can make you look like a master designer! This post will break down 13 of our favorites so you too can create visuals and images that make your marketing pop.

Get ready to create visualizations, banners, infographics, the whole nine yards like a total pro.

“I want a million followers” is not a social media strategy. | Social Media Today

“I want a million followers” is not a social media strategy. | Social Media Today | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it

Often the first result that people want from their social media strategy is a mass of followers.

***** Agree, a mass of followers poorly served ends up hurting site heurstics. The 1:10:89 rule says 1% will contribute something of value, 10% will vote on what the 1% creates and 89% ride for free. The reason the 1:10:89 rule is important is 1% of 1M is 10,000. If 10K people decide they've been poorly served and take it out on your site's reputation, remember these followers were gained via social, good luck with that.

No, wanting a million followers is certainly NOT a social media strategy nor does social, done right, ever go that way. Social media is much more one brick at a time than viral. Viral is tough to count on. Viral is the ultimate crapshoot. Better to build your social media house one brick at a time since then it stands and doesn't get blown over in a storm.
