Adding Mock In Canva

I apologize. I forgot to push record and pay attention to you guys. I was watching a TV show while I was doing this. So what we’re doing today is we’re going to build out a two step tripwire, right? So right here, we have our order form. We have the one-time offer your upsell, your down, sell then, uh, your offer wall. So what we’re going to go, we’ll go through each of these while I make them. But first let me show you a couple of the templates. So let me go to this one. So we have this template right here. I like this template. Don’t get me wrong.

And if I was selling just one, one product, which you’re going to see in just a second, why I say, I like this one particular one, which is great. Right? However, I also like this one, the reason I like this one is because you hop on an offer stack. Right. But then what we’re most people run into a problem is creating these images right here. Right? Where it’s the book image or the book image, right? At least I know I struggled with that. And it was one of the big issues I had in the beginning. It’s like, well, where do they make these things? Right. I don’t want to pay $75 for every time. I want to come up with an idea. Right? So that brings us to come over to Canva. Now, when you come over to Canva, all right, canva.com. Let me show you.

I can’t even show you. It won’t go down arrogance, canva.com. There you go. So you can take your picture or whatever would you want to do. Um, where was I? There you go. We come down to elements, right? And let me just erase that. And so you can see what, what it is. All right. So under elements, you have a lot of different, different things that you can use charts grids, but what you really want to get to, you want to get to some frames. All right. And then through here you have all these different frames, the little computer screen, the laptop, the book, right? See, there’s the book. So then what you do is you create the design that you want. Like, here’s me just kind of practicing, having fun. Now, once you create the image that you want, um, Yeah. Uh, I, I don’t have any blank images on your already cleaned it up. But once you have the image that you want, then you come over to your uploads, you download it, you can download it on your computer. So you go right here. So you create, you create an image that you want. Um, we’ll just, no, I don’t want to. And then you can go to print page, whatever, wherever your image is, then you come over here, upload it, hers, you see.

Yeah.

All of these. Um, and what I noticed, I’m not gonna lie. Uh, I went to amazon.com because these books are available on amazon.com. And I saved the image from Amazon because I was having a problem on how wow was the bloody image, not fitting. Right. That’s why, when you look over here, you have to have them. All right. So when I was trying to use this one, great, you see, you see how the, it wasn’t, it didn’t fit. All right. But then when I used, when I copied it from Amazon, it fit perfectly. Let me put the, let me go back to where it was. So for some odd reason, the, when you just copy it from Amazon, it fits, um, if it’s the scale, right? So once you have your, your images that you want, not, like I said, I’m not using this one right here, but I might, uh, might put it in. I might put it somewhere. Well, once you get your images, you know, one, two, three, then what you do is these are all, you know, these are different books that I have for sale to three, right? That’s why I liked this, this template better. Cause I have a, an order stack, right? So in order to make this, you just kind of stick them. And then there’s a, this thing right here of moves them back and forth.

And you just kind of literally lay them all together. Now with, uh, the CDs, all right. You just go under elements, scroll down. And it’s this one right here. It’s for free. Then you know the computer screen. So what you want to do to how to get them on the computer screen. Right? That, so once you literally, you have your pictures, you’ve already downloaded your pictures, right? They’re already here. Or we already saved them from Amazon and upload them here. Then you take your, your element. All right. You can pick any of these elements. It’s up to you. Which ones you want, bring it over here.

Take your picture. You know, whichever one you want, slide it on over there, double click, and then you can adjust it how you want. So you can have it look like that. You’d have it look like this. It’s up to you. Right? And then you do that on how many of the, however many want you stick them all together. Just like what you did with the books. And then when you come to download, make sure you trans a transparent background, always click that, right? If you’re doing this, if you don’t want, if you want the whole entire background and back here, then do not do that. But if you just want the image that you created, like these three books right here, make sure you do the transparent background. Now, when you’re putting in, once you have your image right here, you can stick it in the middle. Cause all that, all that is is just an image. I can move it around. Right? Same thing with the book, with the laptop, with the phone. Right? So you literally can get creative and just stick them wherever you want and just practice that’s. That’s like making the image. Now let’s come back over here. Now our two step we’ll come here. We opened the, serves up.

See the stack right here. We put it right here. Now we can get whatever image that we want, but that I just picked this one right here. And that’s you just upload and, and that’s what you do. All right. So the reason I, again, why I pick this so I can give an order stack and put all the different items that I want, then give a little description and then I’m ready to go. Right? So I’m not going to have the video for all that. I will. Um, because we’ve already, we already know how to set up, make a list. Right. So I don’t need to film making a list, but you’re gonna, you’re going to need a list here. Right. So that when they complete the, the order, they’re putting their information right here. Right. So they’re going to need a, you’re gonna need a list. All right. So we already went over that, changing these, we already went over, changing the page and just, just so just changing the colors, you know how to change the colors. Right. You click here,

Click the little attorney thing.

If it will stop bouncing around.

 all right. And you can change the color right here.

Um, already showed you that. Yeah. So hope you learned something on this video. Um, yeah. I will see you on the next one where most of this stuff’s already done. All right, bye.

Canva introduction

The things that it can do and help you with. So, I mean, I mean, everyone can read social media events, marketing documents, prints, video, school, personal. So let’s kind of break into that little bit, so right here, like if you want to do Instagram

And then you see over here, how it gives you all the templates. So it’s kind of, it makes it so you don’t have to really think very much. Right. And when you have a lot to do, unless you’re trying to outsource everything, it’s, it’s fast and it’s easy when you already have templates that are there waiting for you. All right. So let’s just, just for example, let’s pick this template.

Right. So then all you have to, do you have your background, think of everything in 3d, right? It’s just on its side. Right? So if you were to look at, um, if you were look at this on its side, imagine there’s different layers. Right. But then when you’re taking a picture of it from the top, it just looks like everything’s on one page. Right. So right here, you have your background, which is your first layer then right here is the second layer. And then within the second layer, you have a third layer, which is like the, this, the, the, the dotted line. All right. And then in the dotted line, then you have different elements as that make sense. So you have this and then you’ve wanna like move all, like, as you said, what I’m saying, so you can move this. So it’s all pieces on top of each other, right?

So if you want to write so I can move this element, like, or like on this little block on top of a different block, if I want to. So if I want to change the color of this background, you see you come up here, you can change the color to whatever you want, right? Because that’s a dif, that’s just talking about this square. You can double the square, you can duplicate this square. You can make it smaller because I’m just dealing with this piece right now. If I want to change the different pieces of it, then like you put this element and you can change it. You see what I’m saying? Then if you want to do a different background, obviously you can come here. Here’s a different photo image. But then here, here, here within, if you want, you can also go to like photos. So what did they, they had watered. So apples. No, they had oranges, but what would you

Apples?

So you can throw an Apple.

It clicks in there. Just be careful when you’re doing it. You can throw apples in the background, right? You can pick which Apple picture you want. You can pick this one right here. Now what’s great with this is they already have thousands upon thousands of pictures for you. So you can, you see the strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. You can kind of, you can get creative and boom,

Right there. So this was some strawberries, CSS, lemon squeeze. So, uh, go strawberry. You can change that strawberry juice, fresh, organic, and then change your name right here. You can change the color of this. Like I said, let’s sing the white. You can change it back to red. If you don’t want the color there. Now you can always erase that. So now you just have this in a nice little border. You can change the border. If you want to change these, this color. All right. Go in here. Okay.

And you can change the what, what the font color right here. The size right here, spacings are right here. And then you can also, we can go to elements on this side right here. Then you can put in whatever elements that you can think of. So right here. So how you had pictures, you just, you easily just, um, you know, think of whatever picture you might want in the background. We’ll same thing with element. So if you want apples, so then it gives you like, just a little elements of an Apple, opposed to a, a picture. So then you can do the same thing. You can drag put a little Apple tree right there. I know this isn’t, this isn’t something that you’d want to sell or anything, but I’m just showing you all the different things that you can do. So the text, if you want to add text over here, so you have your, your heading, you just literally drag and drop. All right. If you need some other suggestions, right. Just drag and drop and it gives you like a whole paragraph section, opposed to just one little thing, uh, right here got the styles.

Honestly, I’ll never, I never used, like, there’s a style it’s just takes awhile. The things that like I’ll get to more or less what I use, because right now, again, I’m just showing you what you, all the things that you can do, you got music, you got what you can do with the video,

Right? So it’s 15 second video,

Ten second video. So you can add, you know, if you need to make a little video advertisements, I haven’t played with that quite yet, which is really cool, which I’ll probably make some more videos on how to do that. But this video, Arlene had 5% of this battery. So I’m going to cut it, cut it right there. But then to, to end it, if you remember, this is just like a Facebook post, right? So then if you need to change it for a different size, you just go resize and then you can literally pick what size you want it. Right? If it needs a, you need a presentation, you need it. As opposed to you need a Facebook cover an animated. Well, animated, not too much, cause we didn’t put any animation, but you get the point. Like you can literally play or excuse me, you can choose, pick and choose which size right here that you want to use.

So what that does is it saves you like mountains of time. So instead of having to redo something and like over and over and over and over again, you can pick some, just click all these for the sizings that you want cop and then pick this button, copy and resize. And then what’s going to do, when you do that, you see this five right here was going to do just so you know, so you don’t just be like, wow, what just happened? It’s going to open up five different pages, right? So it’s not going to just be a list of five. No, it’s going to be five complete pages that you then have to go over and then just resize it a little bit because taking a square picture like this and making it a rink is going to like distort it, right? So you have to just come back and re get your, your, your, you know, your effects, right. Your, your distortions, right. But then once you do that, then you come over

And

It gives you, or allows you to, you know, download it as a PNG or JPEG PDF, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Right.

So you can, I mean, you can make your Gibbs here. You can make your videos, your PDFs and whatever in a different little lesson I’m going to teach you. I’m gonna show you how to make a quick PDF book. Right. What’s like a magazine, but you can use it as a, as a quick manner, a little quick book to, to just to sell. So then after you pick your file,

Let’s go P and G. Cause that’s just what it is. Then you can choose whether you want a transparent background or not. Right. So if you’re just trying to have an image like right here, we have a background. So we don’t want to do a transparent background cause we created our own background. Right. But if you’re just trying to have your elements, then you want to have a transparent background. So then you don’t have this, a backbone like a back, excuse me, a black space. So if you’re trying to put something like you were just trying to use this element, then put it on white things on black things, on yellow things, and you don’t want this square of white or black around it. Then that’s when you do a transparent background. And then what it does is you click transparent or you don’t download. And while LA you’ll have your file and your downloads, and then you can use that file wherever. And on the next videos, like I said, is I’ll break it down.

Canva Magazine Book

So you how to make like a quick ebook, a quick cookbook. Um, I use this method to make a quick cocktail book for selling, uh, F Y M juice. So I’ll show you what the finished product kind of looks like this to this, sorry, I’m going a little fast.

And so at the end of this lesson, what you’ll be able to do is you’ll be able to create something just like this. I mean, it’s not as big as it should be. I think it’s, I mean, you get the point. So each one of these are pages. You see page two, page three, cocktails, the heading everything. And before we even go into it, when, whenever you’re looking at something, you need to look at like what elements there are to any page. All right. So in this, you have your header, your subheader, and then just the picture right over here, you have your header, a picture, right? And then here’s another part of the page, which has a little sub parts of the page, right. Which is also a header, a subheader, and then texts. All right, over here, again, your header, then just a picture and then texts. So I’m not going to say the same thing over and over, but when you start looking at things, just kind of start thinking about how pages are, are broken down. Right.

It’s over here.

Here’s the same thing As we just went through. And you’ll see on talking about section here’s another section, here’s another section and a little tech section and then at the bottom. All right. So where do we find that let’s go over to here and I didn’t mean to click anything. Sorry about that. And then it’s over. Look for magazine. I’ll just click it here. It’s faster.

All right. So when you looking through there’s some of them that have one page, let me find one that has one that has more than one page. So some of these have one, one page and some of them have more multiple pages. Right? So if you’re trying to build like a little, a book fast, then obviously pick one that has more than one page, right? Because the more pages that you have on it, then the easier it is to just to create something fast. Right? So if there’s only one page and you’re going to have to think on the next pages, but if you have multiple pages, then you can just create it and then just like use their template and then great, whatever you need to fast. So let’s just randomly pick this one and see how many pages as is. So, boom, look, it has one, two, three, four, five different pages, right? So this one helps you. You can, you can pick this boom, boom, boom. All right. So let’s use this template real quick. So as we, when we’re thinking, remember, what are the different parts of this page? What are different parts of this page? The diff this page, this page and this page,

Now I’m literally going to use this to create another little ebook. Uh, I like the way this is set up as well. So instead of just having this, this design for this ebook, I’m going to use this one as well. So I’m going to use some copy and paste just so I have some filler. All right. So let’s go, Oh, so we got this template. Let’s go into the photos, right? Because remember this is they’re all just, excuse me. They’re all just different elements of a page since ours is about like a cocktail book. I mean, we can make it about you. I mean, you really put in cooking. So if you put in cooking, Well, this is a cookbook. So you can change that to that. Right. But since I have a cocktail book, we’re going to put in car

Cocktail party, right. Since we’re, it’s something that we want to sell. So we want to like, have people think, Oh yeah, this is great. We’re going to have a party together. All right. Something that we can do as, as a, as a group. All right. It’s a nice little picture. You know, everyone’s with their nice friends. So then let’s go FYI. Mm

I’m just changing the size since big.

Make this sign here. I think the down part is a little bit bigger. So What did I say over here? I’ve talked a little bit about her. Wasn’t very, uh, creative over there. It was I, so let’s go over here and say orange juice.

It was quick to choose cocktails as quick that back up. Let’s put that up here.

Shrink this,

The life of the party. And then how many recipes did we have? Um, Um, two, three, four, five, five of them.

Great

Drinks.

Right? You see how I did that? Now we can go. Yeah, it’s awkward. All right. So what’s changed.

So race, all of that. Put it nine right there. And we’ll turn. Oops. Put a nine and [inaudible] Move it more center. That’s something in the way. There’s a, still a, okay.

here we go.

Five ways to cook your eggs better. Uh, we’ll just name, give our names, right? So we’ll just come over here. Boom.

So go. We got page one.

Page

Two is table contents. So let’s entice. Well, we say we do up here. They’re at the bar. They’re having a good time. Now let’s put like a nice little cocktail. You know what I’m saying? Cocktail party cocktail beach.

Here we go. This is, this is even better.

This is what is this?

No, I just wanted to see what it was, but I don’t like it.

here we go. That’s a little too dark suit. This, this looks like wine. Uh,

Let’s go back to cocktail. Let’s go see what they got for a cocktail glass.

Here we go.

Then if you want to move the picture, let’s go back and I’ll show you, you double click and then you can slide it back and forth. So right there, kind of what kind of color of you drinks do we want? So these, yeah, right there at work and then, you know, push to the plus button to make it bigger. So obviously we need to change.

Oops.

No, since we only have five, one, two, three, four, five, we’ve only needed to, well, let me see how many pages we have over here. Yeah. Page one, two, three, four, and five.

I can’t see. I mean the colors, I don’t know, but y’all I can’t see him. So I’m going to go with something I can see or we’re just, we need to change the background. Cause I, I that’s. The background is impossible. I can’t see anything. Nope. Let’s try this one.

So what we’re going to do is we’re going to move the picture. Right? You make the picture smaller and then just make it half the page. Okay.

Right. Did you guys see what I did right there? I mean, racists are good. So you can do it two ways. You can just drop it right here, drop it on a page and then resize it this way. Right. Or you can have it in the background. Let’s say you have it in the background. So it’s in your background, right? So then you’re like, man, I don’t want it in my background. So then you can just drag it all selected.

Okay. Now it doesn’t want him to move it. We can just delete it and then

Okay. Now let me do it. Okay. I don’t know what’s going on. So we’ll just drag it up this way, whatever

Now, just for time, I’m just copying the names. Now later, I’ll come through. Now, I’m going to just add another block. So all you do to do that is you can come over here. Double click. I mean you can double click, come over text, Add a heading or well on this. What you would do, you can just do it.

Hmm. Let me start this from zero. So you add a heading, right? Then you add your subheading underneath it. Copy. And then drag this down here. Copy paste. Copy paste. Copy paste until you have your five, right?

Should’ve done one at a time. So we’re going to do it. Just do one at a time.

Right. Do your own little spacing. Then you can name it. The, what you want to write page one, two, three, four, five. Then you can have your little subheading right there. So you can have your name, your subheading, what the drink is just for time. I’m not going to, I’m not going to do it. Um, just cause it gets monotonous, but you saw how I did that. Then on your third page, just like on this, let’s look at the elements. So you have one to three pictures and then some writing and some more writing. So just as such over here, lover’s her and what it was called. Let’s go over here. We’ll drop that in that one. Right? We can take this text just like if you had any other texts on what you’re doing just for time. I don’t want to like take too much time because then it’s just kind of copying and paste or if you’re creating your own. So then each one of these pictures, remember, you can go over, do your pictures and you can slide any picture in one of these squares. All right.

All right. Well, that’s another reason because the computer is going slow And then don’t forget your elements. Like if you want an element

As you can see, it’s kind of going a little slow

But you see what I’m saying? When it gets there, you can add elements to make the page look a little bit better. All right. See you in our next lesson.
