Create a Colorful Resume

Check out this cool site where you can turn your resume into an online infographic: re.vu.

You can add any education, previous jobs, interests, skills, etc. and it creates a visual graphic of your story.  Choose from several different themes to match your resume to the kind of work you do.  (There are several that are zen-like, perfect for massage).  You can even upload a custom background.

I thought this could be a neat way to showcase your education and skills in massage. You could post your infographic resume to show clients your experience.  The site makes it easy to share on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google +.

Here's just a little example of what it looks like when filled out:

Learn How to Customize Marketing Posters

Last week I shared 6 Free Marketing Posters for you to use on your website and Facebook page.  While the photos look fine on their own, I've left some space in some of them for you to add your own contact information.

To do this, you will first need some type of imaging software.  There's a great site where you can download free software: Ninite.com.

For this tutorial, we're going to use Paint.NET.  (listed under Imaging, about half way down the page.)

Once you've downloaded Paint.NET from Ninite.com, you can follow along in the video to add your own contact information to the free marketing materials from last week's post.

(If you make a mistake, simply click on Edit, and choose Undo.)

Did you add your contact info to some of the marketing posters provided?  Comment below with a link to your site so we can see how it turned out!

*Please note* you should not add your info to other people's pictures unless you have the permission to do so.
