1 Use the right tools

One of the easiest ways to enhance your social media marketing visuals is to use the right tools. You don't need a fancy camera or expensive software to create amazing images. You can use your smartphone, a tripod, and some free or low-cost apps to edit and optimize your photos. Some of the most popular apps for social media marketing visuals are Canva, Snapseed, VSCO, and Adobe Spark. These apps allow you to crop, resize, filter, adjust, add text, and apply other effects to your photos. You can also use these apps to create templates, collages, and graphics that suit your brand identity and style.

Don't overcomplicate it. The camera on phones these days are pretty incredible. Start there, and if you need progress to full body camera. Watch a few videos to get you on the right path for creating awesome images. Then, use the plethora of editing software (e.g., Canva) that make turning your photos into some even more visually appealing, easy.

No es necesario ser un experto en fotografía o marketing para tener éxito en tus fotos de producto o servicio, mucho depende de escuchar lo que gusta al cliente meta, conocer lo que está en tendencia y ser muy honesto u honesta de lo que ven en foto es lo que se ofrece realmente. Si es la primera vez que lanzas tus fotografías y el objetivo es darte a conocer lo importante es ver lo que hace su competencia para inspirarse, que sí les funciona y qué no, y de eso buscar hacer algo que con la esencia de su marca pueda hacer uso.

Consider investing in stock photos or collaborating with a skilled photographer to elevate your content. Leverage photo editing tools to enhance quality and aesthetics. Embrace simplicity and focus on capturing authentic moments. Explore tutorials to improve your own photography skills gradually. Remember, a genuine story can compensate for technical flaws. Keep experimenting, and your visuals will evolve over time.

2 Follow the best practices

Another way to improve your social media marketing visuals is to follow the best practices for each platform. Different social media platforms have different requirements and preferences for image sizes, formats, orientations, and resolutions. For example, Instagram prefers square images, while Pinterest prefers vertical images. You need to know these specifications and adapt your visuals accordingly. You also need to follow the best practices for lighting, composition, color, contrast, and focus. For example, you should use natural light, follow the rule of thirds, use complementary colors, create contrast with backgrounds, and focus on the main subject.

Think of how you can use a platform's image formats and requirements to your advantage. For example, for insta stories, consider negative space to allow your messaging to breathe. If your homemade visuals aren't of great quality, run them through some editing software to see what improvements can be made. There's no substitute for working with a professional though. A pro tog will ensure you have a huge bank of engaging, rich, and relevant images for all of the stories you have to tell.

3 Learn from the pros

A third way to improve your social media marketing visuals is to learn from the pros. You can find inspiration and guidance from other social media marketers who have mastered the art of photography.

You can learn from experts, peers, and mentors who can give you feedback, advice, and tips. You can also practice and experiment with different styles, formats, and effects until you find what works best for you.

Hire a pro!! Photography is a skill like anything else and takes time to learn. In the same way owning a car doesn't make you a race car driver owning a camera doesn't make you a professional photographer. A pro can not only take great photos but help you take better photos as well!! Many pros offer mentorship or one on one training for smartphone photography.

4 Outsource or collaborate

A fourth way to improve your social media marketing visuals is to outsource or collaborate. If you don't have the time, resources, or skills to create your own images, you can hire a professional photographer or a freelancer who can do it for you. You can find talented and affordable photographers on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or 99designs. You can also collaborate with other social media marketers, influencers, or partners who can provide you with high-quality images that match your brand and goals. You can exchange services, cross-promote, or co-create content that benefits both parties.

5 Test and optimize

A fifth way to improve your social media marketing visuals is to test and optimize. You can't know for sure what kind of images will resonate with your audience and drive your desired actions. You need to test different variables, such as image size, format, style, color, text, and call to action. You need to measure the performance of your visuals, such as impressions, clicks, likes, comments, shares, and conversions. You need to compare and contrast the results, and identify what works and what doesn't. You need to optimize your visuals based on data and feedback, and keep improving them over time.

If you're dabbling with paid ads, for example, use the A/B testing function to see which visuals and copy give you best results. Use this insight to inform the direction of future content. Why not get your existing audience to vote on a few visuals that grab their attention most.

"Poor photography skills" might not be limiting you as much as you think they are. Our top performing organic posts this year were not breathtaking masterpieces taken with expensive cameras by elite photographers. To the contrary, they were usually hastily-snapped team photos captured with smartphones. Your industry and audience will demand different content, but my recent analytics suggest that both viewers and social media algorithms have been more favorable to raw human-centered photos and videos than the highly polished media that we've come to expect from ad-style content. Convincing staff or clients to be captured in a raw or authentic way can be a challenge, but that's where we have been finding success lately.

If you do not have an eye for aesthetics, keep it simple! It is way better to create simple content than to share poorly designed graphics! Lean into your strengths and outsource the rest once your results allow it.
