Keep an eye out under the hashtag #squirrelinkstips Today we're starting with Canva, a free web based graphic design tool for creating posts, banners and an array of marketing material from simple templates. You can work on multiple ideas at a time, upload your own images and download the finished product to your computer. It's also available on iPad.

Chatting with a few of our early adopters this week we realised some of them didn’t know how to insert paragraph spaces in their Instagram posts when typing them direct into their iPhones. There’s not a lot you can do on Instagram to make your written content stand out, so this tip is useful. Simply press SHIFT on your phone keyboard, then navigate to and press the RETURN key. This will create a new paragraph! Use it wisely – too much text or space will lose your readers and hides your image as they scroll. #squirrelinkstips #socialmediatips #socialmedia #instagram #blogging #posting #editing #layout

If you are a brick and mortar business, use Instagram to help customers find you. Geo-tag all your posts by enabling the ‘Add to photo map’ option on the share page and adding your shop name. #instagram #squirrelinkstips #geotag #business #socialmedia #location #instore
