Customizable Power Point templates for

images to use in Social Media.

Share your content & brand yourself!

By Teresa Ann Duran

• All the images here on this training are publically licensed which means the can be re-used or shared. With the exception of the image of my girls Delaney & Milan.

• Just a reminder when creating content or images for social media it is important to remember the language of the channel you are creating the content for what works for Facebook doesn’t necessarily work for Instagram.

• Also the times of day you are posting content on each platform makes a difference as well. I’d say to start off by Googling “what time of day works best for posting on Facebook” for example. Start with some sample times, review your engagement, insights & then adjust the times of day and/or content. Social media marketing is constantly changing so what works today may not work in January 2015.

How to Use This Template:

1) Click on the quote or stat to adjust for your own sharing needs.

2) Click on the “Source” text box to properly cite the quote or stat.

3) Right click on the entire image to “Save as Picture.”

4) Share on social media!

TIP: If you plan to share the visual on Twitter, include the Twitter handle for the data source or person who said the quote – maybe the brand or person will retweet it!

“The time is now!”

While our goal is make your job easier with these templates, repetition of the same format or style can get stale. Mix up which templates you use each week! In addition, test using normal text-based updates with these images to see how the visual updates perform in comparison to the text updates.
