Last week I attended an Instagram Masterclass webinar hosted by Nathan Chan from Foundr Magazine. He mentioned using WordSwag to create powerful messages that incorporated text with a photo (or other type of image) and how they used it to create messages that are posting on Instagram.

As I wrote about earlier, I use my connection to Dropbox to add the newly-created image to my Dropbox location for my course.
And here the final product:
WordSwag is just a great product to work with and I have already put it to extensive use. So, if you’re going to be creating messages for your blog, Instagram, Facebook, or whatever, then you should check it out.
