If you know about my love for CANVA you know how much I enjoy using CANVA and all the resources it offers for content entrepreneurs like me.

If you don’t know what a content entrepreneur is, hop over to The Content Inc. podcast and give it a listen. Now coming to CANVA.

When I started writing in 2014 I was focused on sharing health and wellness topics. As time flew by. I realized teaching about health wellness and nutrients starts at the very beginning of childhood for that matter. That’s why I decided to write for health awareness in kids too.I am a Doctor and had no interest in writing, blogging, and tech stuff ever. But it all changed in 2013 when with a baby in tow, I no longer wanted to be just an audience or reader, but also a creator. I had something I could share with the World wide web and make it better. I wanted to start my own Blog.Here’s my list of top free and paid resources I use on my blog.

Then when CANVA for Education offered free education accounts for schools and teachers I knew supporting CANVA was the right thing to do. That’s the reason I started my Online School in India Healthwealthbridge School it’s a CANVA website too, with which I linked my own domain.

I started blogging in 2014 and Canva was launched in India in 2015 when I signed up and my life changed forever. I was able to help three of my doctor friends launch their websites, and my sister’s and the Indian Association of Pediatrics Malda website too. Plus I was able to design book covers for all my books with CANVA and also launch my microschool online with a CANVA website.CANVA makes good design possible for busy people who want to share their message without hitting a design block. I have no background in design or digital design and CANVA is intuitive, fun, and revolutionary. I have been a pro user for 3 years and it’s one of the best decisions I made.

How I used CANVA PRINT Hero to print a Scientific Souvenir

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on July 14, 2023 8

This happened in February and March but as usual in all the other thousand and one things happening I forgot to write about it.I need to manage my ideas better. Sometimes I feel I need to download all that I did and read and thought in a day in a secure location with proper categories and tags so that I don’t miss anything

So I designed the IAP Malda souvenir front and back cover on CANVA and downloaded a pdf for the print version. It was locally printed and came out perfectly. My husband was the secretary this year and this was also the maiden conference of the IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics Malda) conference. The souvenir was a last moment affair, but it came out perfectly.A lot of midnight brainstorming went behind trying to make it look just right.

Why I use CANVA to design the Souvenir for Print

It’s very easy to design with CANVA.

I could edit on the go. There were hundreds of edits.

I could make different color versions, change type fronts, edit the copy, switch backgrounds, write quick content using magic, and write all using CANVA Pro. It was also easy to use RGB for print versions and CYK for digital versions all on the go.

CANVA Print Hero in India offers printing options for posters, certificates, business cards, gift certificates, invitations, flyers, and more.

Course creation with CANVA presentations

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on July 31, 2021 9

When Rebecca from Canva Champion asked us about our wildest creative dream, I answered

“A Start a Blog course to help professional moms like me.”

I am still vacillating. I fold laundry, sweep the balcony, clean out my sock drawer, did everything but get started. Why should I even do a course? I have a book, right? People can just read that. I did my part to share what I knew.

Do I know enough? The self-doubt monster paired up with imposter syndrome, and they played with my mind. I was ready to give up. But then I remembered how I felt about writing and publishing my first blog post, that first book, the first Podcast, and video.

My first video is still up on my Facebook page, and it’s horrible. It has poor light, awful sound, me looking earnest but clueless. But I still kept it to remind myself that I need to start somewhere.

Then in July, Canva gave several pieces of training for using their presentation template, and I was hooked.

The Workflow:
How to record your first-course video using Canva presentation ?

The Process:

I wrote the script.

Rewrote it.

Edited it umpteenth time, and July flew.

Then it was literally down to the last few days, and I knew the work had to be done.

The good news was Canva presentation templates made recording the videos super easy. I made the first video for my course. Canva presentations helped me structure, create and get it done.Try Canva Pro presentations for free today to create your course.

The Workflow:

I created my slides on the Presentation template. Edited them.

Recorded my video using the slides.

The videos were automatically downloaded and in my library.

Which I then tweaked and edited.

I created quick pdfs from the presentation slides, and that took care of my text part.

The course was ready as a tester.

Something I would never have done without Canva releasing its presentation template and making life easy and fun. Course creation was always a headache because of the entire process of creating videos and editing them. Using the presentation mode of Canva, it’s as easy as one, two, three.

The best part is you can edit right on Canva with no headache. In case I want to create exclusive bonus content, I can share the Canva link.

It’s trusted by brands. The templates are more fun than work, and you can’t stop having fun.

I wanted to share my story with you to start with your presentations now without a headache. Now no more boring videos.

Using Canva for creating a course is like an adult playground. You have to force yourself to stop playing once you are done.

That’s, not all. The creative templates by professionals take the headache out of people like you and me who need hand-holding when designing. You can create quickly, and you need zero experience, just an eye for beauty.

You can edit as many times as you want. You can export the presentation as a pdf(standard or print) ,png,jpg,SVG,mp4,gif.The possibilities really helped me make the text part of the course get designed quickly.

How to record your first-course video using Canva presentation ?

1)Get all your course material in a word document.

2)Now open Canva on your desktop.

Click on the presentation template.

3)Choose your favorite

4)Copy and paste the parts you want to highlight on the slide

5)Put the extra stuff on the notes part at the bottom. That will be shown only in presenter mode, and your students won’t see it.

6)Now customize the slides using animation, your brand colors logo.

7)Now go to the right-hand side and click on the present option-choose present and record.

8)You can share the video as a link or download it.

9)Create pdfs from the templates.

10)Create quizzes and assignments. You are ready to get your course published.

I downloaded it into my computer and now getting it ready for uploading to my course platform.

Canva also has an option to share the video as a link. The video stays in the Canva Video uploads section. In case you don’t like it , just delete it.

No more crazy searching for videos, and I can easily edit and customize right on the desktop. I trust Canva for my creative inspirations and design. Just like global brands like American Express and Twitter does.Try CANVA pro presentation today!

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 5, 2021 4

How do you schedule your posts for Social media?I wanted a simple way to share and schedule my posts for easy sharing for a long time .

The available options were limited in free versions ,clunky .Plus the uploading of various images for different platforms was a headache of royal proportion.

I remember Canva had sent in a survey, and I mentioned scheduling efficiently.God and CANVA both were listening.

Guess what? The Canva Pro now has the best Social Content scheduler inbuilt.

Wait, that’s not all. It includes all SOCIAL platforms including Pinterest and Instagram business accounts too!
That’s the best thing that could happen for people like me.

Who thought I would fail at social sharing?

Why would I want to write and not share? I seem to be running out of Time. That’s why.With ,work,life and everything inbetween, I needed to simplify.I needed uncluttered tech.

If I told you my Instagram schedule, you would understand.

Honestly I couldn’t do much. But because I wanted to work smarter and Canva made this super easy, I am now ready to do more,with less trouble.

Someone once told me if I don’t focus on sharing the content I create, I am leaving a gap.That’s what was happening.

This is where Canva Pro’s offer makes a difference.

You can schedule on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram(New), Pinterest, Tumblr, and everywhere in between.
I love how easy it is to post on my Instagram business account using Canva Pro.

Wellness is a strong focus for my brand, and a simple Content planner like the one Canva has launched is life-saving.I no longer stress about clogging up my phone with different versions of the same image.I can have one picture taken and the rest lives on Canva.

How do I use CANVA (Feature Updates you will love )

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on October 6, 2020 40

I didn’t know different platforms have different image dimensions. I didn’t know about colors, fonts compression, pixels. I still kind of wing it. But I have a friend who helped.

Her name was Canva. She didn’t laugh at my seriously flawed (still crooked) designs. She didn’t laugh at my attempts to DIY it. She just showed me template inspirations and a vision. That’s what friends do, right? They have your back.I started blogging in 2014 .Here’s a full list of tools and resources I use to blog.

I have been a Canva friend since forever.I don’t remember who recommended her, but I am still grateful.

Do you know how scary design tools can be? For a novice, it can be a headache while climbing a mountain blindfolded.I am a doctor and had zero design sense starting out.

But using Canva is easy .

What do you need to do?

Create an account on Canva. You can work online, on the app, or get it on your desktop and work. offline.Sync between device and you are good to go.

The best part is it’s designed for all types of creatives. From beginners to experts. It’s also much more budget-friendly than other design tools.

Remember I talked about Seth Godin’s shaving the yak? Apparently, that’s a thing for everything. If the barrier to entry is too high, you and I both might give up.

But if it’s as easy as select/drag/drop ? You learn to do it . That’s my journey with Canva.

If not for Canva my Ebook covers would need the extra headache. With Canva templates it’s super easy.

How do I use Canva?

I used their ebook templates for creating all my book covers.

Their social media templates for posts on Twitter,fb, Instagram, Tangi, YouTube thumbnails, Pinterest.I use the one-click Resize option.

I use their Video making a feature for making a quick audiograms of my Podcast.

I use their resize feature to resize one image for different platforms.

I create pdfs.

I compress my image

I download different versions of the image.

I use it to create my presentations

Now I can use it to schedule my posts.

I am super stoked.

Canva features I use Regularly

With the Canva Scheduler and the Pinterest native scheduler, you will never worry ever again. It’s a feature made for the Canva user

Also, did you know Canva Design school takes you through the basics of designing? The courses are free and help nondesigners (like me) do more.

Try the Canva live option or create a voice-over video right from your desktop. The perks for premium users just hit the roof.
