Canva

This is a convenient service that allows you to quickly create a visual using templates. You can also download the shareware version, which has a limited number of templates.

The PRO version ($9.95/month) allows you to modify individual elements, adjust the sizes and access the photo stock.

Conducting contests

Because contests are a key part of social media networks, they can be a great way to increase activity and gain an audience quickly (although it is not a fact that your audience will remain with you). We will be describing 3 apps that can help you host a contest on Vkontakte or Facebook.

Trello is one of the best services for managing projects. Trello allows you to create task lists, assign due dates, attach images and make comments about tasks.
