 Alright in this video I'm going to show you how to set up a Canva account and how to create a motivational Facebook post basically. So the first thing that you want to do is you want to go to canva.com. Next after you go to canva.com you want to click on sign up and you can sign up with Google. I'm going to just sign up with email so I'm going to click on sign up with email and I'll just create an example. So there you'll type in your email that you want to sign in with on your and also they'll have you verify with a code most likely and then just come up with a password that you'll remember and then just click on get started. Next it says please enter the code we sent to this email so I'm going to go to my Gmail for this demo account. Meredith Canva and here is the code 874668 and then hit done and what will you be using it for? Well you put small business that's fine. Or you can hit skip up here up at the top right hand corner and I'm not going to use the Canva Pro. You can if you want to start your trial but it'll tell you right here with the Pro. I'll just put maybe later and I'm going to skip past all this. Again you could fill in everything if you want and then start your first design. I'm just going to type in Facebook post or actually whenever I put my cursor in there it pops up as Facebook post so I'm just going to put Facebook post. So it's going to open up a new window basically like if you need to go back to the home screen you just go up here to the top left or look for wherever your home screen is. You can be in different places but so this is basically your home screen and you can click on what will you design you can do social media up here if you like and then there's Instagram post, Facebook post, Instagram story, your story, what's up status that type of stuff. So I'm just going to use Facebook post on this particular one and I'll show you the dimensions. There's a 1080 by 1080 pixels and Facebook is 940 by 788 pretty close so you really use probably Facebook post for both of them but this will fit perfectly inside of a Facebook post. All right so once I click on it it opens it up and I'm just going you go through your tour whatever but and then you kind of go down through here and it says here's for you see all coronavirus see all so you kind of just go through here and let's just take a look we got birthday Facebook post you just kind of look down through here sporting events so what I would do is I would put you know a quote Facebook post let's see if that has anything and boom here we go so quote Facebook post now how I came up with that is I just took this they put the subject in front and ended with Facebook post subject in front Facebook post so I'm trying to do a quote and you kind of go through here and see what works best for you kind of go down through here so let's just um let's pick something simple if you have your mouse over you see where it says free free free and then some of them are going to be you know you have to have a pro account but let's just choose this one we'll go simple with this one all right and um I guess you could use something like that or what you can do is I like to go to google.com and if I'm doing a motivational Monday um so I'll do motivational Monday and then there was one even that said for work so for work let's just take a look motivation determined and ready to slay the day monthly I kind of like that I love Mondays um I've offered you so many doors is up to you to which one to open and which one to close this is your Monday morning reminder that you're amazing only way to do great work is to love what you do Monday is a state of mind I don't like any of these I like this one Monday sets the tone for the week be a beast today I like that so um so I go over here and basically I click on the wording and then I could highlight the wording Monday sets the tone for the week I think is what it said Monday sets the tone for the week period be a beast today down here I could put be a beast and if I want to I could highlight that and then go up here to the top and here's like the different uh text or what they call font so here's some popular font I could put that if I want it's really hard to see you do that and then if I like that I could go up to the font size and I could hit the plus to increase it and that looks good all right and so basically if you move it left or right it's hard to see it in this one but there's like it will show you where it's centered and everything so this looks pretty good now what you can do is you could publish it to Facebook but I like to click on this right these three dots up in the upper right hand corner and that is pretty cool though that they have the Facebook page I'm just going to download it to uh to my page or to my desktop so I'm going to click on uh I'm going to it suggests to do a PNG and then right here if you have pro you do transparent background you compress the file but this is completely fine for me so what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on download and then I'm going to say it save it to my uh desktop so I'm going to save this to my desktop there it is Monday says the tone for the week and I'm just going to desktop this and save it all right so now I got this set up and that is how you set let me go ahead and do another one just in case select this one it's kind of cool it actually uh it actually automatically inserted the then though so this one I'm and then right here I get if I hit delete if I highlight this image and hit delete um and then I can look for photos so let's see what this I like this one too heck you could even use that one too so you can just go through and check out your templates and see which one that you like and then let's go ahead and download this one it's very very easy to change out this stuff and then you just click download save file you know what a lot of people do work out on Monday so this is not a bad one and that's how you create a canvas account
