We thought we would provide our own take on Paul’s 13 Sentences on Start-ups.

Pick good co-founders

There are so many challenges that come along with starting a business. Many entrepreneurs find that they don’t have everything that is required to build their start-up by themselves. Having someone to help you along the way can be quite helpful. Some of the greatest companies we know today started with two. Jobs and Woznick, Hewlett and Packard, Ben and Jerry, and Batman and Robin. It’s important to find a co-founder who can complement your skills and fill the gaps. This will ultimately help you focus on what you’re really good at and offload some of the work onto someone else. Additionally, having someone else around will make it easier when it comes time to make decisions for the company and will allow you to take a break every now and then.

Launch Fast

One of the biggest mistakes inexperienced entrepreneurs make is moving too slowly. By launching early and launching fast you are getting your business into motion. This will help you gain momentum and get things moving. You must be quick, efficient, decisive, and ready to learn and adapt.

Let Your Idea Evolve and embrace mistakes

As you grow and gain more traction, more ideas will flow in. Let your idea evolve and change. In fact, Flickr actually began as a feature in an online role-playing game from gaming startup Ludicorp. Photo sharing was the last component of the game. The game itself was never successful however photo sharing was on the rise and what we now know as Flickr became a huge hit. You will make many mistakes, and regret a few decisions, along the way. Many people believe that a mistake means failure. Making mistakes will provide great opportunities to learn from so embrace them and use them to your advantage.

Understand your Users and Make at least a few of them really love you

By taking the time to get to know and understand your users, you have a better idea of what it is they are looking for. Find out what their pain points are and try to address them. Create buyer or user personas so you have a better idea of who it is you want to target. You may find that your product doesn’t suit the particular group of people you initially had in mind. If this happens, you will be able to modify your product to better suit the needs of your customers or change up your strategy to target those who will be interested.

You will have to choose between partially satisfying everyone or making a few people really happy. Choose the latter. These people will act as brand ambassadors. Get them to really like you and they will spread the word. These people can act as guinea pigs; have them try your product and ask them to provide feedback. It’s easier to gain more customers over time than it is to try and increase satisfaction among everybody.

Give surprisingly good customer service

Customer service is a major part of being successful in business. Customers aren’t always easy to please and now, more than ever, they look for instant gratification. When customers are happy with the service you provide, there is a higher likelihood that they will stick to your business instead of shifting to competitors. Customers like to share stories about their experiences with their friends, family, and colleagues and social media make this easier than ever. When you provide customers with a memorable experience, they will be more likely to tell others about the great service they received. Receiving good feedback and knowing you did a good job can result in increased morale and a boost in confidence within the company and among employees. Having happy customers makes for happy employees, making it a better place to work overall. This also results in less turnover, increased profit and on and on. The benefits are endless.

You make what you measure

When you measure something, you get a good idea on how to improve it. Spend some time learning what people like, and what people dislike, about your product. Do some investigating and even put some free or inexpensive analytic tools to use to get a grasp on what is going great and what’s doing poorly. This way you will have tangible evidence of how things are doing. When it comes time to approach investors, you’ll have plenty of data to make your case.

If you don’t measure your success, how will you ever know if you’re doing well?

Spend little

Contrary to belief, you don’t need a fancy office or a beer keg in the lunchroom to become successful. After all, Apple started off in a garage as did HP. You’ll get there. The most common reason businesses fail is because they run out of money.

Check out this list of freebies to use while you’re getting started.

Get ramen profitable

While keeping expenses low, make just enough money to survive off of as opposed to trying to make millions from the get-go. This will make you more attractive to possible investors.

If you’re already making a profit, this proves to investors that you have peaked interest in the market and can get someone to pay for your product, that you are interested in taking the time to building a quality product, and that you maintain discipline by keeping expenses low. If you don’t need to raise more money for the next best thing (which you probably don’t really need), you won’t have to take time away from building your product to do it. When investors see that you aren’t going to blow their money on random stuff they will be more inclined to cut you a deal as they will see that their investment is going to be put to good use.

Avoid distractions

As if starting a business isn’t difficult enough, there will always be distractions on the sidelines ready to pull you away from whatever you’re focusing on. Often times start-ups get distracted and bogged down by things that are almost completely irrelevant to the success of their business; things like your day job, side projects and even little things like having your phone beside you in your workspace.

Dr. Gloria Mark has studied the effects of being interrupted and found that we typically become distracted and switch tasks every three minutes. Two other tasks usually intervene before we eventually get back to our initial task and it takes about 23 minutes to get back into your groove.

That means there’s a good chance you even stopped reading this post for a while in order to work on something else before coming back to it. Rude… (Full disclosure, I actually became distracted many times while writing this).

These distractions are coupled with physical changes to our environment such as new windows and applications open on your desktop, new files downloaded, and some new items in your workspace. These physical changes actually add to the time it takes to get back to what you were originally doing, thus, wasting even more time.

You can read more on Dr. Gloria Mark’s study HERE

Try to eliminate these distractions by planning distraction-free time in a distraction-free space. If even for just a few hours, go to a quiet place, play some music if you need to, turn off any notifications and keep your phone away from you and plan to work on one single task for a set amount of time.

Don’t get demoralized and Don’t give up

These were originally two separate points, they really go hand in hand.

Times are going to get hard. It happens with every company eventually. Starting a business is a huge burden since you probably have a lot riding on the successful outcome of the product and the business. It is incredibly stressful so it’s important to prioritize mental wellness and to not give up when times get tough.

While there is a lot of work to be done, it’s critical that you don’t work yourself into burnout. There will be times that you will have work very long hours. It is important to remember to maintain a social life and spend time with friends and family. These positive interactions will help your mind take a break from the stress at work.

Don’t die

Pretty self-explanatory.

Conclusion

Building a start-up Is like raising a child. Parents: need I say more? Start-ups can be very fun and become quite successful and eventually go on to change the world. There are many, many more topics we could add into this post however It would simply go on forever.

If you have a great idea, don’t be afraid to peruse it. It might just become the next big thing.

The post How to Succeed in a Startup in 11 Steps appeared first on Virtual Causeway.

When reading about social media, much of the information and success is geared toward B2C strategies. While these may be great and show promising results, they’re just not going to cut it when trying to reach your B2B audience.

You can likely land a sale after only one quick introduction when selling to the average customer, however, with B2B the cycle is much longer and the product is likely much bigger and more expensive. It’s like splurging on a new pair of headphones for yourself versus a business department spending a large chunk of their annual operating budget on a piece of software. It will also require a lengthy integration process along with many hours of training to train their employees how to use it. You didn’t make quite as big of a decision as the startup did. In this case, it’s going to require significantly more effort to convince the business to purchase the software than it is to convince you to treat yourself to some shiny new headphones.

That means the objective of social selling is different for B2B than it is for B2C.

For B2B it’s about presenting yourself as a credible expert and addressing pain points, while B2C is more about establishing a connection with your customer and speaking to experiences.

Here are some of the key practices to adhere to in your social media strategies:

Identify your target audience:

Depending on your product, you will want to identify whom you are trying to market to. You can attempt to simply cast a wide net and attempt to get your message across to as many people as possible, but you will be wasting your time and your money. It is important to cast a very narrow net and be selective with the leads you capture. It’s about quality, not quantity.

Check out our last post revealing the 7 tips to earning higher quality leads to getting the highest return on your marketing efforts.

In order to achieve the highest possible quality leads, you’ll want to focus on the problem your product or service can solve, and identify those who need it most. If the product or service is new, take a look at your competitors to get insights on who they are targeting and who is following and interacting with them.

Some of these people might include:

-Current clients

-Potential clients

-Associates of current/potential clients

-Thought leaders

-Bloggers/Journalists

-Affiliate businesses

Choose the channels that work best for you:

Once you have identified your target audience, you can appropriately choose the channels that will reach them most effectively. Read on for a breakdown of our top 5 social media channels for B2B businesses.

• Twitter

Twitter is a wonderful way to build credibility and influence. It should be used throughout the day to share a steady stream of information. Content should be entertaining and easy to consume. Most importantly, posted content should provide value to the reader. You will get better engagement by liking and retweeting posts by customers, influencers, and employees. Search for mentions of your company or key industry terms and when someone has a question or problem, respond to provide support and build relationships.

Services such as Tweet Full and Meet Edgar make Twitter easy by automatically sharing posts and engaging with customers without you having to lift a finger.

• LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the largest network of professionals in a single location. This makes it easy to connect with others and build relationships in order to provide valuable information and support. Use it to promote educational content relating to your service and any announcements you might have. Join industry groups to take part in discussions and meet like-minded people, influencers, and potential customers. Provide solutions to those who express pain points.

• Facebook

What was once created for college students to meet their classmates soon turned into a networking site to keep in touch with friends and family and now, has turned into a multifaceted marketing mania with over 2 billion users. 81% of B2B businesses are currently using Facebook to distribute content. Facebook has many ways to segment and target specific information to ensure you’re reaching the right customer profile. It’s important to avoid selling things on Facebook and trying to convert leads immediately. People on Facebook like to share and engage in content. Provide entertaining and informative content that your followers will want to share with others.

• Instagram

While Instagram shouldn’t be your focus, it is an up and coming channel with B2B, especially startups, and can be used sparingly. It’s a great way to bring followers behind the scenes and show off your company’s culture and values. For example: Sharing fun pictures of the annual holiday party, featuring employees on their birthday, or a sneak peek of your latest project.

• Snapchat

Snapchat can be useful in a similar way to Instagram, especially if you market to a younger audience. You can partner with influencers, offer exclusive content, and provide entertainment value. This will help customers develop a connection with the brand and help you build a solid foundation of trust by reminding them that there are real people behind all of those blog posts, advertisements, and sales calls.

Learn more about how to use Snapchat by reading our recent blog “Do you even Snap?”

Develop and maintain a consistent voice:

In order to develop and maintain a consistent voice, it is important to create a brand persona; not a buyer persona — a brand persona. This will serve as the voice of your company across all your social media channels. Not only does it help to humanize your social media presence but will ensure it maintains a consistent tone throughout, especially if you have multiple people posting.

Build a following:

Once you have identified your target audience, choose your channels, and created your brand voice, its time to build up a following. This step and the next step will have to be executed multiple times before you notice big results. They should remain in constant motion to make the most of your efforts. Once you learn what content your current followers enjoy, use the metrics you will receive in the next step to target your future content based on things that did well in the past. By focusing your efforts and providing great content, more people will want to follow you and current followers will invite like-minded people who they think might be interested in your content.

Tools like Quuu can help source curated content to share, Buffer to schedule it and upload to your channels as you find great content, and SocialQuant to grow your follows quickly in an automated fashion.

Measure and monitor your results

When you properly measure your social media marketing efforts, you are able to gain profound insights on which piece of content and messaging is resonating with your audience and impacting your sales funnel, or which piece was a flop. You can then use this information to better target your content and gain greater customer engagement. You can do this by making use of the analytical tools provided by the various channels or you can opt to use of one of the many, many services such available as Buffer, Google Analytics, Hootsuite, or Sprout Social.

Conclusion

As B2B marketers are increasingly adopting the use of social media, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by all of the different networks. It’s important to know that you don’t have to be on every social media network to be successful and to see results. Choose a few that you believe will provide the biggest return for your business and become an expert in those instead of wasting your energy and resources trying to keep up with them all. No one single strategy will work for every B2B company. It’s important to tailor your social strategy to the needs of your company and the expectations of your customers. Happy Tweeting, er Linking, er posting!

Chances are you don’t consider Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software to be such a big deal. The reality is, along with 75% of other companies, you’re a fool to think so and you’re missing out.

*Here’s the actual title of this article:

Why you most certainly DO need a CRM

What is it exactly?

If you don’t know already, a CRM is software designed to help keep track of all of your prospects, customers, and accounts. It allows you to manage your sales process and track your sales activity across the entire sales funnel. You can manage all of your tasks, sales opportunities, forecasts and reports so that you have complete visibility into your revenue generation activities. It allows you to monitor and track all activity, thereby ensuring all staff are working efficiently and effectively towards milestone-based and recurring goals and metrics. It gives management a dashboard into the organization’s well-being and long-term viability of the company.

Here’s why you need one:

Customer relationship Management is crucial when running a business and especially when you are a salesperson. While not every company needs one, CRM software has been proven to increase sales by 29% in small businesses, and 75% of sales managers say that using a CRM helps to drive and increase sales. If you don’t have one already, it might be worth it to consider a free trial. – I recommend Salesforce or Hubspot or Pipedrive.

Basically, if you sell stuff and you’re not using a CRM, you’re missing out.

The Canadian Professional Sales Association says that Long-term relationship building and a dedication to customer service are among the top 5 skills to succeed in sales.

CRM tools make it much easier to manage relationships and keep track of crucial information about your clients and customers. And as a bonus, nobody has to carry around a Rolodex of business cards with notes on the back.

Sometimes I wonder to myself how many CRM’s my name shows up in. Probably many.

Here are some benefits of how a CRM can help replace that Rolodex, and some of the benefits you’re missing out on:

1. Greater staff satisfaction and efficiency 

When information is shared and easy to find, everyone works more efficiently. According to a McKinsey report, employees spend 1.8 hours every day—9.3 hours per week, on average—searching and gathering information. A CRM makes it easy to find information without having to data mine through emails and call history for information on a client. Happy employees mean happy customers.

2. Better client relationships

The more you know about your clients the more your clients know you care about them. This helps nurture a much stronger relationship with clients and helps build a foundation of trust. According to an Edelman study, trust in business is declining rapidly. It’s important to maintain customers trust in order to earn their business.

3. Better Internal Communication

Having an up-to-date CRM helps everybody. Sharing customer data between departments will help everybody to work as a team. This will increase profitability and will help to provide high quality service to customers

Some programs are free and some are more expensive depending on which features you are interested in and how many people will be using it. Check out this article by Hubspot on how to choose the right CRM for your businesses individual needs.

Conclusion

Having a CRM on its own isn’t going to do much. A Customer database is only good if everyone works together to populate it and keep it updated. One MIT student completed a study using Hubspot’s CRM software and found that 79% of customers saw an increase in sales revenue within one year. While you shouldn’t expect to see quick results right away, it won’t be long before you have a really great, effective database solution to help reach your sales and management goals.

The Internet is bursting at the seams with content and information. It is important to stand out so you are getting the most out of your B2B marketing strategies.

I recently read a book called Contagious by Jonah Berger, Professor of Marketing at The University of Pennsylvania. Berger spent decades researching (so you don’t have to) exactly what it takes to make something go viral. He used these same principles while writing this book to prove that it works. I can confirm that they do, in fact, work because I couldn’t stop reading it. Here is what I learned.

Social Currency

With the rise of social media and the multitude of social tools available to us, we are constantly sharing information. We share information with one another to appear knowledgeable, important, or just generally appealing to others. Social currency is the belief that value can be earned from social participation as a means to make us look good.

Jonah Berger identified three ways to get consumers talking about their favorite brands and to share this information with others in order to earn social currency among their peers.

A. Identify what’s remarkable about your brand

When people discover something remarkable, they can’t wait to be among the first to tell everyone else about it. Berger uses the example of Blentec Blenders. Blenders on their own seem standard and fairly unremarkable, we can all agree. You put in a bunch of ingredients and voila, you have a nice jug of mush. It does what it needs to do. So, how do you make everyone go bananas about a blender? Blend up an iPhone, golf balls or just about anything really. Blendtech gave us high entertainment value by blending unconventional items while showing how powerful their blenders are and in the process created a trigger. So, next time you think about blenders, Blendtech will be top of mind and you’ll have a great story to tell your friends. By identifying what’s remarkable about your brand or product, you will create social currency among viewers and get people talking about your product.

B. Utilize game mechanics

People love playing games. They like to be the best among their friends and they like to win in order to earn bragging rights. A good example of this is the “Challenge” feature of the popular activity tracker, Fitbit. You can challenge other friends with Fitbits to weekly challenges with a set goal. The first person to reach this goal, wins. These achievements can be shared with friends on social media. This is not only a way for Fitbit to encourage users and to become more active, but to increase the popularity of their devices and bring awareness to those who don’t currently have one. Others who don’t have a Fitbit see these updates and want to join in on the competition, so they are more inclined to go out and buy a Fitbit of their own.

C. Make people feel like insiders

When Google launched their social network platform Google+, it was by invite only. You had to be invited by someone who already had an account. What was Google’s secret? Probably nothing. They likely just wanted to limit the number of people using the website while they were still in beta, however, they essentially put up a wall and let the curiosity fester. Whether it be intentional or not, Google, and those already on the inside created a lot of buzz and intrigue and people wanted to know what was going on behind that wall. When people finally got their invite, it made them feel like insiders.

Triggers

Emotion

Happiness makes us want to share. Sadness makes us want to connect and empathize. Fear makes us want to cling to something, and anger makes us stubborn. Emotions are tied to experiences. For example: Since the beginning, Coca-Cola has associated its brand and product with very positive and happy experiences, the same way they want you to feel when drinking their beverages. Red Bull’s brand identity has always revolved around extreme sports. From dropping a man off the edge of the atmosphere to hosting the coolest bicycle stunts, their commercials always instill a sense of awe and adrenaline. Whenever we watch these videos, we feel like we can conquer anything. By focusing on igniting emotions, like Coca-Cola and Redbull, your audience will be motivated to share it.

Public

Monkey see monkey do. If you were walking down the street looking for a bite to eat, you would most likely avoid the empty restaurant and go for the one with more customers. Everyone else is there so it must be better than the other place. This is because we base a lot of our actions on those we see around us. If a lot of people buy something, it must be good. It is the same reason Livestrong bracelets were so popular; everybody had one, they supported a good cause, and they were easily identifiable. If people see others using your product, they will be encouraged to check it out for themselves.

Practical value

By providing some kind of practical value, you help your customers get better at what they’re doing. Whether it be FAQ’s, blog posts, infographics, tips and tools, or resources, the practical value not only helps them get better; they might want to share it with people they think might benefit from it.

Stories

We tell stories to gain social currency, share emotions, and to pass on helpful tips or advice. By creating or sharing stories you provide a way for customers to connect with the product or company on an emotional level and it will become easier to share that information with others. Stories are what people remember, even when they forget names and faces, they rarely forget the story and how it made them feel.

Conclusion

Being contagious will help you reach out to the consumers who are interested in your product or brand and who need your service. By providing messaging that makes consumers want to talk about, and share, your product and brand, you will get the highest return on your marketing goals.

The post Make Your Content Contagious With These 6 STEPPS appeared first on Virtual Causeway.

You’re in good hands because I am a pro… Not really but they tell me I’m pretty good.

There has probably been a time where you had wished you knew how to whip up a quick graphic for your marketing campaign. Whether it’s an advertisement, a graphic to complement a tweet or Facebook post, a more engaging featured image for your blog post, or maybe you just need something quick and simple and you don’t feel like hiring a graphic designer.

Buzzsumo found that Facebook posts with images have 2.3X more engagement, and Tweets that included images receive 150% more retweets than without images. Furthermore, Studies by Neilson Norman Group show that Internet readers spend more time looking at information-carrying images than they do reading the text on the page.

So here are some tips on how to create a minimalist design that will look like it was designed by a pro:

Find the right tools and resources

Editing software

There are many great tools and resources available to everyone whether you’re a pro or an amateur. Software like The Adobe Creative Suite and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite contain some incredibly powerful tools but come at a premium. Adobe Creative Cloud is $599.88USD per year and CorelDRAW will cost you a one-time fee of $494.23USD. While these are reserved for more experienced users, I encourage you to download the free trials, get your feet wet and play around with them to see all that they have to offer. That’s how I started. Don’t be afraid, YouTube is your friend. Watching tutorials online and taking some online classes will help you better understand how the software works and what’s in store. But for now, we will stick to something a little more simple that will still get the job done.

Canva is a free graphic design website used by amateurs and even professionals. It uses a drag and drop interface to increase ease and usability, as well as mobile compatibility. It features many pre-made graphic templates such as social media posts, ads, events, as well as email banners which you can change up to match your branding or design preference, or you can choose to leave them how they are and simply change out the text. Canva also has guides on how to use the software and tutorials on the use of color, images, and fonts. You can take it a step further and purchase one of their premium plans at $119.40USD/year to get even more features, elements, and assets.

Pablo by Buffer offers a simple way to create engaging social media images with just image and text. These graphics can be created in seconds and shared directly to social media all from one website, or scheduled for later. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

Vectr offers free software for creating vector-based graphics, such as logos, that can be downloaded or used online in order to make graphic design accessible to everyone. With simplified control panels, Vectr makes designing graphics from scratch simple, without a confusing jumble of tools you’ll likely never use. The website has many tutorials and resources available to help you understand how to use and make the most of the software. One of my favorite features is that projects can easily be shared with others via a custom link generated by the software.

Images

Having images in your graphics helps provide some context and visual interest for the reader. According to Jeff Bullas, posts with images get 94% more total views than posts without images. That’s a big return on such a small investment. Throw some text on that photo with a tool like Canva and how could anyone resist your post? It’s like a click magnet for readers. If you are unable to take your own high-quality photos, there are many great websites that offer stock photos but choose wisely, some stock photos can be very posed and downright awful. I’m sure you’ve seen them; they’re hard to miss. But fear not! I would never steer you wrong. Behold my list of favorite not-so-cheesy stock photo websites.

1. Pexels – This is my go-to stock photo website and they have never let me down. The best part of Pexels is that all of their content is completely free for personal and commercial use. They have over 25,000 free photos with at least 3,000 new ones added every month. For all of the great work they do, they do accept submissions of your own photos as well as donations, so I do encourage you to contribute or drop a donation every few photos. We all like to get paid for the hard work we do

2. Death To The Stock Photo – They have stunning images that are not your typical stock photos; hence the name. You can sign up for free and receive 10 free photos per month or pay for a premium subscription for $180USD/year to have unlimited access to their library of carefully curated, high-quality image galleries and videos.

3. Shutterstock – Shutterstock is more of a premium option for a larger operation with multiple team members. Their basic package is about $229USD for 25 images. They maintain around 90 million royalty free images.

With all stock images, or images you did not take or create yourself, be sure to take a look at the licensing agreement to avoid any legal issues. Most stock photo companies will let you use images for personal and commercial use as long as you don’t claim them as your own, sell them, or use them for anything inappropriate such as hate speech or violence. These licenses are to help you, not to trick you. Furthermore, using tools like Tineye or Google image search, you can reverse search images and graphics to see who else may be using them.

Less is more

There once was a time when marketing space was precious and often came at a premium. As a result, marketers would try and cram as much information as they possibly could into marketing materials before passing it onto the customer. How things have changed. In a world where there is so much content, keeping your graphics simple brings the most important content to the forefront and reduces distractions for the user.

• Limit fonts – Too many fonts in a graphic can be very distracting and can hurt the piece. Stick to two fonts that complement each other using one for headers and one for the body. TypeGenuis can help you pair up some fonts that will look great together. Plus, it’s super easy to use.
• Use Simple Backgrounds – When choosing backgrounds, keep them subtle by using simple pictures, a simple colour or consider adding a colour overlay or blur to images that are distracting. Noisy or distracting backgrounds will ultimately take away from your design and distract the reader.
• Negative Space – Negative space refers to any spaces that remain unused, such as the space between columns, images, and text. Let elements breathe and try to keep negative space around elements even and proportional.

Here are some more great tips on the most common mistakes made by non-designers.

Inspiration

Everybody needs a little inspiration to get their juices flowing every now and then, even the most creative people. There are many ways to get in the mood but everybody has their own methods, here are a few of mine.

See what everyone else is doing – We call them trends for a reason; because everyone likes them. By following and taking some inspiration from the current trends you will get a good idea of what’s popular and what people want to consume. However, on the flip side, you could even do the opposite of everyone else by creating something unique and stand out among the crowds.

Pinterest – Users can create boards with pins, which you can then use to get a little inspiration when needed.

Behance – A hub for creative individuals to share and showcase their creative works as well as discover some new ideas.

Dribbble – A social network for creative minds and a platform for users to share their ideas and design work.

Google Images – Sometimes a simple Google image search will provide some great inspiration.

Ask a friend – Show your work to a couple of people who haven’t seen it yet to get some feedback. This will help give you some direction on how to change things up.

Take a walk – Creative block happens to even the most seasoned professionals. Sometimes you just need to get away from your screen for a while to refresh your mind and stimulate your creativity. Take a walk to clear your mind and come back with some fresh eyes and a new perspective.

Get someone else to do it.

If you are unable to create your own graphics or simply don’t have the time, there are many great outsourcing options. Websites like Fiverr, Upwork and Freelancer have freelance graphic designers at your disposal to create graphics for you at a very reasonable price.

Conclusion

Visual content is an important part of marketing your online content. You won’t become a professional graphic designer overnight like I did, but with a little inspiration and the right tools, you can create great pieces to complement your content and help you achieve your marketing goals.
