We are excited to help you build your brand on social media! Here are a few helpful tools, videos, and tons of social media content that you can use to help build your following, increase engagement, and create a buzz on social media. You will also find videos on how to use tools like Instagram, Canva, Dropbox, and the features on the vballrecruiter.com Social Media Memberships.
If you haven’t created an account, I would recommend getting started by choosing the right type of account. If you already have an account, you can change the type of account in your settings. It’s ideal to set up a Creator account so you have access to the analytics on your content. This will be very important if you are attempting to build your brand and profit from NIL (name, image, and likeness).
Canva is a free-to-use online graphic design tool. Use it to create social media posts, presentations, posters, videos, logos and more. We use it and highly recommend you use it too! Here is a how-to use video that we made to help you learn how to quickly create your own social graphics.
As you travel for tournaments, capture many small video clips of your trip.
