USE A SMARTPHONE
TO TAKE BEHIND-THE-SCENES PHOTOS OR VIDEOS
Most smartphones have good enough cameras with which you can capture an image or video of behind-the-scenes action at your company, or celebrate a coworkers birthday or other special event to share with your followers.
Schedule a behind-the-scenes or product update once or twice a month, with a caption for your blog, and share it from there with your social media networks.
You can use other smart devices, such and iPad, to take images and video as well.

INFOGRAPHICS
USE CANVA TO EASILY CREATE
Use an app like Canva to easily make infographics. You just need to brainstorm and research a bit about the information you want to convey, choose a predetermined layout in Canva, and plug in the information and add images or icons.
