How to Use Fotor for Visuals: A (Free) Must-Have Tool for Any Small Business

Visuals are one of the most powerful tools you need to incorporate into nearly ever facet of your content creation, public relations, marketing, social media - even retail -  efforts as a small business owner or entrepreneur.  Whether you're a product, service or expert-based brand, a picture not only speaks a thousand words but can bring you as much if not more in page views, clicks, likes and dollars!

That said, if you're like me, getting the photos onto your blog post, Facebook page, in the body of your pitches and so forth can be a challenge that leads to you freezing or simply leaving them out.  I often struggled to figure out how to get images into blogs or a pitch in a way that looked professional and wasn't sure how to make "one of those pretty collage-y groups of image" (as I not so professionally described it). 

That was until I discovered FOTOR!  This free, online App let's you do everything from edit and crop images to create collages or photo montages (my favorite use of this tool) which allows you to include multiple images in one collage.

Now my use of visuals in all that I do can only be divided into pre-Fotor (snore) and post-Fotor (HOORAY)!  I want you to feel the same way!  I want you to use imagery in all of your pitches, blog posts, web pages and more with wreckless abandon!  I've outlined why you'll want to use Fotor below and even included a few examples of my favorites uses of them by entrepreneurs like you!

WHY FOTOR IS A KICK BUTT MUST FOR YOUR BUSINESS:

It's FREE:  Hello!  Why would you not want to use a proven tool (in this case an App) that doesn't cost any money?

It lets you create multi-photo collages:  This is a must for me when pitching or creating blogs.  I used to spend ages cropping and trying to manually fit photos together, but I don't do that anymore! Fotor does it for me, and gives me multiple ways to do that!  As you know, in business, time is money, and I simply cannot handle wasting either of it!

It has editing capabilites: Ah yes, for those of you who cannot handle (nor do we need) to work with PhotoShop, this is your solution! You can crop, adjust lighting and saturation, create fun borders, even adjust tone and colors!

Easy uploading and saving:  When you're done with your creation on Fotor, it's a simple one-two click to get it saved to a folder on your computer, uploaded to social media, even shared via email!

Anyone can use it:  It's Mac and PC friendly, can even work via Facebook and again, if I can use it (trust me I have to ask my gracious and patient business partner for tech help on a daily basis) you can do it too!

So go forth and Fotor!  Still not convinced?  Check out some of my favorite Fotor creations created in minutes by entrepreneurs like you!
