And we’re here to share all of our best resources for social media content creators like you. Let's jump in!

Top Resources for Social Media Content Creators

1. Canva

Canva is a graphic design platform that was made for those of us who… aren’t graphic designers. With their drag-and-drop feature, alongside their premade layouts and templates, you can create professional-looking social media graphics easily. You can choose from their free and paid options, depending on your needs.

We recommend the paid option solely for the brand kit feature it includes where you can save your brand’s colors, fonts, etc. Plus, the paid option is only $12.99 per month and includes one-click design resize, over 4 million free photos and graphics, the ability to create custom templates, and more.

2. Unsplash

Unsplash is a great spot to grab free stock photos that you can download and use for your social media content. It's great because they have an extensive pool of contributing photographers (over 110,000).

9. Asana

When you’re creating lots of content and juggling a ton of different projects, organization is vital. That’s why you need a little help from Asana (or a similar software). Asana is a project management tool designed to help teams and individuals organize, track, and manage their work. Their free tier is perfect for managing tasks and to-dos (and allows you to collaborate with up to 15 teammates). If you want more features, their next tier starts at $10.99 per month.

10. Bit.ly

When you share links to your website (or other content) on social media, it doesn’t look great to share a long URL. Plus, there’s no way for you to tell how much traffic you’re driving through that link. That’s why Bit.ly exists. Bit.ly is a URL shortening service and link management platform. When you paste a URL into Bit.ly, you get a shortened URL. You can then customize the backend of the URL and track clicks on the link.

Bit.ly allows you to create unlimited shortened links on their free plan, as well as 50 customized links per month. If you want the ability to customize more links, you can upgrade to their paid plan (which starts at $29 per month).
