Have you heard? Visual marketing is hot! Businesses use pictures, images and video to promote themselves and their products and services. You can too! If you have been ignoring the power of visual content, maybe now is the time to start. Don’t you want to increase the number of people viewing, sharing and engaging with what you share or write?! In speaking with job seekers, business owners and companies, I hear things like, “I don’t know what to share”, “we wouldn’t benefit from using visuals” or “my business isn’t visual.” But what you will see if you look on social media, there are all types of companies (and people) creating and sharing visuals.

You can try interviewing people on video. (Facebook Live, Zoom, Instagram Story or even LinkedIn) Best Tools To UseCreating visual content is easier than you think!
