Every marketer loves a good picture app. Especially one that does all the work for you. I’m no different. Which is why I’m so excited to share my favorite one with you–the WordSwag app.
When those fun, wordy quote photos became popular I couldn’t figure out how to make them for the life of me. You know, the ones that have the cool text with an even cooler background. Yep, those.

I use it for clients, myself and for other avenues to gain people’s attention. This magical app is called WordSwag. Here’s why you need to know about it.

WordSwag is available in the app or Google Play store. There’s a free version, but the premium edition has better features. Yes, it does cost money, but it’s a nominal fee of $3.99. For everything it does for you–totally worth it. You can click here or search for it. When searching for it, it looks like this:
So what does WordSwag do? And why should you spend money on it? Good question. WordSwag lets you make great graphics paired with amazing text for your Instagram, Facebook and any other social media platform. Read on to learn how to use it for your business.
How to Use WordSwag for your Business’ Social Media

Buttons: The two buttons at the bottom are to take a photo (left one) or to choose from one of theirs (right one).

I always tend to use their photos, so let’s click the right button. Once you do so, the options will look like this:

As you can see, this app is the PERFECT addition to your social media bag of tricks. As mentioned, I use it for my own purposes as well as for clients. The best part? It’s an app. I know that sounds silly but I do a lot of things on Photoshop and it takes your computer, mouse and charger to get something done.
