Hello and welcome to the Crow Shea Business Goal podcast.

But you can use your crow shay to build a business that will give you the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.

Are you using Can Va for your crush?

A business If you've never heard of Canada before, it's on online toll that you can use to create graphics.

That is, pictures with words over laid on bond shapes, arrows, everything.

Allen's the picture so you can create marketing images for your business.

It's one of the easiest software tools.

But do this available on the free version is really good.

And it's only when you need to develop more complex marketing systems that you need to pay for the pro version.

So if you're starting out, canvas is incredibly useful.

Before can became along, you had to either hire someone who could use complicated graphics programmes all you had to be able to afford some really expensive software to be able to do it yourself, which meant that there was this quite big gap between big companies who could afford to do that Andre.

Smaller businesses where you just couldn't There was this big difference with the marketing and you could tell who with the big boys on Dhue with a little fish.

Now Canada has come along.

That's not obvious at all.

So if you're not using can ver to create images for your social media.

Two user's photos for your product images you are really missing.

A trick can ever allows you to upload your images.

You can upload your logo, Andre.

You can create all kinds of images to use everywhere.

You can resize things so you can have you got your instagram posts.

Eyes.

You've got your Facebook storey size.

You've got your Pinterest pins.

You got your YouTube banners.

You've got everything, and you can create your own custom sizes as well, so you can use canvas for every single platform.

This means that you can resize your images and have everything matching on each social platform.

You can use Canada to agile logo to images.

You can add a watermark onto your images.

You can create grids so you can have a grid of all your products on to one picture.

It's a fantastic toll on I could stay here all day.

You talking about what Canada can do, and if you think that it's something that you would really use.

I think again about that, because there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not on canvas for creating images for my business.

Because when you're selling something, when you're selling your crow, Shea online because people cannot reach out and touch and feel and get everything at a different angle to see if it's for them.

When you're saying online, so your pictures have to sell what you're selling on canvas helps you do that massively on.

It is so simple to use it's it's a real game changer.

When you realise what this talk and do, Andre, you can do a hell of a lot with the free version.

You've got different fonts.

You've got a few temples you can use.

There's all sorts of images on bond like elements, just arrows and, well, everything.

It's every type of visual you can think of.

You can addle these little different pictures and all these different elements onto your image to help you sell your crow.

Shea.

I'm probably not describing it very well because it's a visual programme is very difficult to do that in a podcast, but the best way to describe this is if you go on Pinterest on scroll through Pinterest, I'd say a good 75% of the pins on Pinterest have been created using Can Va.

Canada is used that much by that many people that yeah, it is done in Cannes.

Ver Facebook ads.

I recognise a good number of the pictures on Facebook ads just from scrolling through Canada.

They're using the stock photos in convert to create those ads.

They're not using any fancy software.

They're making that as themselves, using can va It's so easy on.

Yes, I do recognise on the stock images.

That's because I've been scrolling through them far too much.

But but there are hundreds to choose from, but you don't have to use the stock images you can upload your own.

You can take your own photos of your products and upload them into Canada and add elements.

Andre kind of crop.

The photos and difficult backgrounds you can trust.

Form that one image of your product into many so you can make it look a bit different each time.

Using can ver the pro version.

You get more options, you get more templates to use on that is layout with text on bond, The lock is again.

If you go on Pinterest, that is a template, and you would change the photo.

You were changed.

The colours.

You'll change the font and just make it yours.

But tempers are there for you to just adjust to your own liking.

You can set your brand preferences in camber that is, you set the cause of your brand.

You can choose the fonts that you want to represent your brand and upload your logo so you don't have to keep referring back.

Please.

Every single time.

It's just there in Canada and set for you, and you can choose them so easily.

And with the pro version as well as more templates.

You get more fonts to choose from, and you also get some snazzy tools like background remover.

And that is where if you have your product on a background is a patent background.

Anything you can clear the background on so you just have your products are floating in mid air on.

That gives you the more options.

You've got different special effects.

You have options for mock ups, and that is being else about a picture and say inside a frame of a phone.

So it looks like you're scrolling our phone, all these types of things.

If you want to make amazing looking images that are going to get your crow, she attention on whichever platform you're using online.

Canada is the place for you, and I cannot recommend it enough for moving or business forward and getting you the attention you need.
