How to earn money from Canva
i've been using a free version of canva for the past couple of years now and i'm very happy with the designs that i've created with it however you may have a different type of business and a paid membership may be more suitable for you so let me just quickly go through the benefits of having a paid account with kava if that's what you choose to do or just so you know what your options are for now if you just want to try out the free account with canva this is what you get here you get two folders to organize your designs you get one gigabyte storage you can access over 8 000 templates upload your own images and access millions of photos starting at one dollar each now for the paid membership plan canva pro you're paying 12.95 per month actually if you want to pay yearly you could save 23 and it comes to about 9.95 per month and you could also try it for free for 30 days so if you go with this paid plan canva pro you get everything in the free canva account that's included in there plus you get unlimited folders you'll have team functionality so you could collaborate design and edit with your team this 995 or 1295 is actually per team member so if you have a virtual assistant or employee for example and they're going to be using canva pro as well then you have to pay for their account which is 12.95 per month or if you're paying yearly then it's 9.95 per month for each member so let's say you have one virtual assistant helping you out then you're gonna be paying 9.95 cents per month times two or if you're paying monthly then it's that's 26 dollars per month so let's look at some of the things that camera pro has that canva free doesn't they'll get exclusive access to 400 000 free photos illustrations and templates you could resize your designs you could upload custom fonts for your brand save templates for you and your team you can organize your photos with folders easily find your designs and search resize designs into custom dimensions download

show you how to create these designs so let's go ahead and click on create a design and for this example let's say we want to create a banner ad so we're going to go all the way down here to ads and just choose any of these ads here let's go with the medium rectangle ad and we'll be brought to a page where we can select the templates and also where we can create our ad so right now it's a blank canvas that we're looking at here and here you can select the template so there's free and it's paid let's just go for the first one here okay so you could build an ad around this template and from here it's pretty much straightforward you could just click on here and edit so let's just say demo okay you could change the font size let's make it smaller to 14.
you can change the text color to red make it bold and you could also move it around and if you want you could select anything here that you want to change or delete so for example here let's say i want to remove this cloud i'll just select that and just click on this from the garbage icon you could even select this image and you could flip it around so let's say you want to flip it vertically or flip it horizontally and again you could edit any of the other text on this template for now let's look at the other tools you have at your disposal so we'll go to the left side here okay so right now we're looking at the templates if you click on photos you can find photos that you could use for your design so a lot of these are paid but there's also free photos that you could use so let's say you want to use this and you could change the size of it okay and if you go down to elements you could see some other types of images that you could use so for example use the heart let's just remove this for now so let's go down select another image let's go for line so if you want to add a line to your design okay and you could also go to text to add more text with different fonts so for example you want to use this font right here demo or if you want you could select this one okay it's getting cluttered here so let me just remove that okay and below that you can go to background so if you want you could change the background of this design let's select this one for this example and if you go to uploads you can see all the other files and photos that you've uploaded into your account and if you go to folders you can see the folders that you've created and if you go to more you can access different apps so for example pixels and pixabay where you could find free photos from those
