Not to be missed: The ultimate social media image sizing cheat sheet

If you have anything to do with a branded social media profile, then this blog is guaranteed to make your life easier. When I stumbled across this absolute delight of an infographic, courtesy of LunaMetrics, I immediately saved it down on the system. Do it now…

2)      Source vivid, engaging images

3)      Be aware of copywriting laws
