There are a few social media and web marketing blogs that I follow pretty regularly. Social Media Examiner is one of them. They consistently produce relevant, easily digestible articles to help you get a better handle on your social media efforts. Their recent article, “6 Simple Photo Tools for Creating Social Media Visuals“, offered up several easy-to-use Photoshop alternatives that could not only be used for creating graphics for social content, as the article suggests, but for blog articles and web pages, as well. In the article they quickly outline the strengths of each tool and show an example of what can be created with it. Read the article to get the list (most of them are free!) and see if any of them could be beneficial to you.
