MAKE YOUR OWN FACEBOOK BANNER

Social media made easy

Just a real quick post today. Fancy making your own Facebook banner? Tired of using landscapes as banner backgrounds, and ready to add some spice to your profile?

This is a template I made myself that’s worked well in the past. You can use it too. It’s easy.

I’ve separated the Facebook banner template into different boxes, but make sure you don’t get too close to the edges so nothing gets cut off. The square at the bottom left is where your photo will appear, so make sure you don’t cover it. The boxes are meant to guide you. No need to adhere to them rigidly.

Here’s an example of what you can do (fill in your name etc.). Feel free to use it for yourself or to try it out. Making it took me less than 10 minutes.

Here are a couple for readers:

If you’ve read my article about creating your own book trailer on a budget (i.e. for free), you’ll know I use an iPad app called TouchDraw for most of my ‘creations.’

Try to keep your colors neutral and in line with those you use on your website. Also, make sure to use the same photo on all your social media accounts. Most of all, make it unique. Whether you’re an author or a reader or something else entirely, show us who you are.

As always, if you need help, let me know. Good luck.
