Canva: The Secret Weapon for Fast Social Media Content
wow!!! @kellyLGabel, thanks again!!! it took next to no time to organize hundreds of photos using the technique you show here... slightly adjusted bc my images were already uploaded... still, same folder concept. really appreciate the good info.
I'm so glad to hear it! This has saved me so much time as I create my designs... especially my daily Pins for Pinterest!!
ahhhh, very nice! thank you! i love canva, but I do find it challenging to navigate sometimes. very helpful.
can we check mark things without opening the card every time ? It feels like a pain to open those card when for me i put a screen as a cover with a little sub text but i still need to open up every card to mark it as "done" when i could just put a little sticker into the cover and not open up the card at all
I totally get what you mean! Unfortunately, adding a sticker can't trigger an automation (yet), but if you have a due date on the card, you can mark that complete without opening the card. If you use that as your trigger (the card being marked complete), then the card can move to the Done list, and you can even have it auto-add the sticker (if you are using the same sticker every time)
For me this ambivert/centrovert perspective turned out to be female high-level masking as an AuDHDer. Who knew. Great combo in academia 😀💩
So you are an ambivert/centrovert too? Same combo as me, or the opposite?
That could be either ambivert or centrovert ❤
Centrovert.. I haven't heard that term until now... makes sense, though!
Two proud introverts here at STC!!
Your turn! Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
THANK YOU! Omg super useful! What a time saver thank you
You are so welcome!! This is my favorite Canva tip, by far! 😊
Woohoo! Congrats
Thank you!
congratulations! great feat
Thank you!
OMG Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a life saver. Thank you ohhh so very much!!!
You are so welcome! It's been a game-changer for me, too!
Haha love it! I relate so hard...
Haha 😄 I knew I wasn't alone! What is your business?
@@KellyLGabel definitely not!! My business is hiking dogs in nature/aspiring behaviorist, and I'm experimenting with Resilience coaching :) I saw your videos about canva and trello, I use Canva and it's heavenly, so when ready I'm curious to learn about trello through your videos and see if I want to try it :)
Amazing!!
Glad you like it!
This is why per hour jobs are a problem. Pay me for my work not for how long it took me. I can finish my job in 2 hours if i actually tried but then id be tired and out of a paycheck. The only logical thing to do is stretch it out to the full 8 hour shift. Imagine how fast road construction would be done if the employees got paid per job instead of per hour. Only jobs that depend on customer presence should be per hour. For example most food industries, or retail since you cant really service all your customers for the day in a few hours.
You make a great point! Flat fee pay for many jobs makes a lot of sense. It certainly incentivizes speed. There could be a potential for shoddy work as the person speeds through in order to raise their hourly rate... but honestly, I tend to think that anyone who would rush and do a bad job in that case probably wouldn't do a better job if they took all day either. Good work ethic is good work ethic in any scenario. What is it that you do for work?
@KellyLGabel Data input, so instead of just scanning and uploading I type everything I can by hand 😁
Nice!
Back when I was a temp, I was sent to an office to do a job that was estimated to take 2 weeks. When I got there, they showed me a very tall stack of paper. My heart sank when the client pointed out the ONE NUMBER on each page that had to be entered into the computer. I was done before noon that same day. The client was ecstatic but I lost out on 2 weeks of pay. Oh well, at least I got to keep the parking pass that was good for a whole year. The building was right next to Universal City Walk, an entertainment and restaurant complex, so I saved a TON of money that year enjoying a place I normally wouldn't be able to afford! (The parking fees there are RIDICULOUS.)
Yes, that certainly would be a downside of over delivering! It does free you up to take on the next temp job, though! And wow, you got a year parking pass?! That's amazing!!! I hope you used the crap out of it! 😁
@@KellyLGabel Oh yeah. I was up there every week. Usually I'd have lunch and see a movie, but sometimes I'd just go to grab something to eat. They had a very high quality hot dog / sausage place. It was grand! (And yes, I did get another assignment almost immediately. They gave me a great review.)
@Serai3 Nice! Good for you! I used to do background work on a show that filmed at the Universal lot, so I'm very familiar 😁 I love when expediency is rewarded!

Oh my goodness... this makes my life so much easier 😅 I was super annoyed of always having to search for images and/or upload the same ones again and again when I couldn't find them. Thanks!!
Same!!! I don't even want to think about the time I wasted doing that!! 😅
Yup. 💯
Thank you. I was looking at the pricing as I have been using a free workspace for myself for years now, but while I was actually looking for different information (namely which advanced features you CAN (partially) use for free and how they work), I learned quite some useful things from this video. For instance, I did not know power-ups were a separate cost. I thought that by upgrading my workspace, it would simply gain access to that kind of thing. just like how I thought that the billing would indeed be account-wide. I only have 1 workspace atm so it's not a huge deal yet, but it is definitely good to know that it's all separate. The main thing for me right now is, I need some level of automation because I'm often losing more time on cleaning up and (re)organizing the boards, than that I am actually being productive. I just don't know if I have to upgrade or buy power-ups to do it.
@DiaborMagics I'm so glad I was able to clear some of those things up for you before you made a purchase! You do NOT need to upgrade to get access to automation. In a Free Workspace, you will have limits on how many automation runs can be performed each month (same in the Standard paid level...only Premium and above have unlimited automation runs), but you have access to all automation that doesn't rely on other premium features (by this I primarily mean Custom Fields. There are Custom Field automation workflows that you won't be able to use since you won't have access to Custom Fields at all in a Free Workspace). I would suggest you check out my playlist that is dedicated to Trello automation. You will find lots of tips and inspiration to get you started, and I do my very best to always make it clear when something can be done in Free Trello :) ua-cam.com/play/PLYrgiFCpdO1Qbi__s_9uJakYUbpBUyd_3.html&si=VsV_2S-ozAHtv7vm
@@KellyLGabel Thank you so much for replying, especially so quickly! I will definitely check out the playlist because I'm sick of the inefficiency I'm working with! I write, make games and manage various communities and tools for those communities, so you can imagine that boards clutter up quickly without automation.
@DiaborMagics Absolutely!! I imagine it's not only the boards that clutter up, but your mind as well :)

I feel this so deeply. Kinda reminds me of cal Newport’s slow productivity. It’s about doing the right things and going through the process, not just the results and not even working harder or doing everything to make something happen.
Yes, exactly! Slow, continuous improvement is so much more sustainable!
I have one I tried to make....I am new at this. It has a star and says close friends only. How can I change the privacy on that hilight?
@marymonk I don't think you can adjust that in the highlight itself. That privacy setting is in the Story itself. If the Story is still within it's LIVE 24 hours, I think you can change the privacy by clicking that green star for options, but if the Story is past the first 24 hours, I'm pretty sure you'd have to share it again to change the privacy setting
It breaks my heart when I hear people say they haven’t hung up their art or family pictures because they don’t feel confident doing it 😢
I'm not super confident doing it, but I do it anyway! 😂 How is this reflected in your business?
@@KellyLGabel I haven't launched this part of my new business officially yet but my goal is to make my services accessible to anyone who wants help & wants to decorate their house.
@jenwaiterealestate That's fantastic!!
Great word!! ❤❤❤
Thanks!
How can i sort the pics in a folder by name? And also how do I select all if want to add 20 to a video I am building? Tyty
Hey @goalaspect! So, for sorting the pics, you can use the sort feature (drop down on the top right that typically defaults to Name A-Z) when you are looking at the folder itself, but when you are in a design and accessing the folder, there isn't a sorting option. There is a search feature, though, so if you know what the photo is called you can search for it inside the folder. As for selecting all, I don't see that the traditional Ctrl/Cmnd + A works in Canva, but you can manually select multiple before bringing them in to your design if you check the box on the first photo rather than clicking the photo itself (which will simply add it to your design immediately). Checking the box let's you select multiple before adding them to your design. Hope this helps!

If you’re interested, I’d love to chat about how SEO can maximize the reach and impact of your videos. Thanks for all the valuable insights! 😊
Notion can do everything Trello can do but much more... and that's the problem. For many, it's a trap because they spend more time customizing and designing than working on projects.
Exactly. Ultimately, that's how it was for me, too.
Who's with me?! 2024 is winding down, and it's time to start planning for 2025. Who is ready to build a business they love?! 🙋♀️
Are you using Trello Custom Fields to perform calculations yet? Watch the tutorial.
Your turn! In what aspect of your business do you need to take James' advice?
Hello, Is there a way to sync trello to quickbooks workforce?
They can be synced, for sure, using a third-party tool like Zapier. If you are looking for a time tracking sync, it looks like there is a power-up called QuickBooks Time Tracking, but both of these options are likely to come with added cost (not from Trello, but from the other tool)
Great info. Thank you!
I'm glad you found it helpful! ☺️
Thank you! I think I was the one that was asking in the previous video 🤭
@gberdousis you sure were! ☺️ I hope this shows you want you wanted to see!
@@KellyLGabel Yes, it was very helpful !
@gberdousis Glad to hear it!
@gberdousis - this one is for you!! 😊
Thank you - just what i needed
@@BusinessExitAcademy Oh, I'm so glad! 😊 How long have you been using Trello?
@@KellyLGabel 6 months - but now I',m moving into 2nd Gear!
That's awesome! Tell me more about how you are using it so far! Is this for a business?
@@KellyLGabel Yes - a little late to the Trello part helping me a lot
I can't wait to hear what you build! If you have questions or want any help, feel free to reach out to me at kelly@kellylgabel.com :)
I finally started posting on my Instagram again with less than perfect photos - but I'm making sales! If I let my perfectionism about photos hold me back my business won't grow. I am learning taking a few minutes to post online - it can have an impact on my business. I've also started taking about 30 minutes every morning reading & journaling & it has been life changing! It has become a non-negotiable for my day :) I love Mel Robbins too
@jenwaiterealestate Amazing!!! I'm always so impressed with business owners who can make IG work for them! I ❤️ that you are reading and journaling, too! What are you reading?
Your turn! What is a small thing you are doing that is having a HUGE impact?
Thanks
@@vivianakpoke5023 My pleasure!
I don't care what a business thinks, I care about the price. If you can have the lowest price you have a sale. Otherwise its about proximity and convenience. A business especially if its large has no morals or beliefs, its not a person. It all a lie. Make your prices low and your goods convenient and you'll make a lot of money like Wallmart.
@elizabetha7397 That's certainly true! In his book, The Infinite Game, Simon Sinek speaks of large corporations such as Walmart. Their beliefs, or values, are exactly what you say, making shopping convenient with low prices... which you have clearly picked up on. You also share those values, which is why you shop there. In many cases, though, people are willing to pay a little more or even go farther out of their way to shop their values.

Really? I hear the audio just fine.

I visited the link.. What's the difference between Firmware for US and Europe?? I am from India 😁
Great question! I'm not sure. I don't work for the company, just sharing what I learned. I suggest you reach out to Angetube support directly to get that information!
Very true. I have a whopping three clients. But I've had relationships with each of them for years and we care about each other very much. They are all on recurring contracts because we know each other, what each does well and I know how best to serve them. They are willing to pay a lot because they trust me and know my work. Another organization just reached out a couple days ago because they have a relationship with one of the organizations I work with. Everything is based on relationships.
Exactly! No matter how many ads or marketing campaigns I run, the bulk of my clients always comes via word of mouth. Relationships are everything.
Wow! This is amazing! Genuinely, thank you!
My pleasure!! Which one are you most excited to try?
Thanks, Kelly. Just found your channel a day or two ago. I appreciate all your hard work. Great stuff. Freelance writer and editor here. I'm with you on this. While this probably would work for others (there's some good stuff here), this is just too much for me. I'm a big Trello fan (although I also use or have used Asana, Teamwork, Basecamp, Slack, Redbooth and others through clients or former employers). I'm going to stick with Trello as much as possible.
Thanks so much! Ya, same. I've used many different tools in different circumstances, but for me, Trello is the perfect balance.
I have been using Creately for more than 2 years now, It is quite cool. It seems kinda user friendly. I also have used Asana, and Slack. Than Asana I think Creately has better diagramming feature, and it helps my team to work collaboratively. I would say just why dont you give a try?
Damnn this one hit me hard. About to close a business out. Thank you
That's always a tough decision! Good for you, being brave enough to do it! Are you planning to start a different business instead, or go back into the job market?
no I have no idea what you're going for
Did you watch the full video?
@@KellyLGabel The full 21 seconds? Yes, three times now. Does it make me want to visit your channel to find a full video of whatever this is? Not really
@cortneybrown2257 No, I meant the Related video that shows the full tutorial, but if you aren't interested in the tutorial, then there's no need to go watch it 😉
I've used Canva Pro for video editing 1 hour videos. . You can no longer split videos without the timing going off, if you hide the split parts, it plays them anyway. It repeats clips in different spots. So if your making thumbnails and pretty pictures then there's no issue. If you are a professional content creator it's time to move on.
That must be frustrating. I edit my videos in Descript, so I haven't been using Canva for that for a while now, but I can see how that would be a deal breaker for you!
