Happy New Year!
It's that time of year for new goals and resolutions! I've always got plenty of goals but staying on track? That's the tough part. My big issue is forgetting the specifics of my goals and plans, and by March, I've usually lost focus on at least half of them. So, I'm changing things up this year!
This year I'm publishing my goals online (and I'm doing it for free).
Here's How!
Step 1: You'll need a Canva account.
Canva has free accounts available as well as paid subscriptions. If you opt for a free account, you can publish up to 5 pages online for free. This is how you can publish your 2024 goals online, making it easier to reference wherever you go!
***IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Canva is made for users 13 years and older. Be sure to reference Canva's Terms & Conditions before using.
Step 2: Create a design.
Once you're logged in, click "Create a design" in the upper right hand corner.
In the search bar type in "Bio Link Website" and select it.
Step 3: You can build your design or start from a template.
If you're using canva.com to edit your goal sheet, you'll find design templates on the left.
If you're using the app, you should see a purple circle with a plus sign in the bottom left corner. From there, you can navigate to the Design panel and search templates.
I recommend searching "link in bio" templates and selecting something that you like. (Link in bio templates tend to resize better for mobile use).
You can make changes and additions to make the final look your own. Have fun with it!
How to add a link to an icon or text.
-Select your text or image/icon.
-Click on the ellipsis "..."
-Choose "Link" and paste your link/URL (it can be to motivational videos, social media posts, galleries, a picture, dream house, a playlist, etc.)
This allows you to be directed to that link whenever you click on that text or image/icon.
Step 4: Get ready to Publish your goals!
You can preview your design by selecting the eye icon in the top right corner. It'll give you an option to view it on a desktop or a mobile device.
If you're satisfied with your design, hit share in the upper right hand corner.
Then click "More".
Click "Website" below the search bar.
Make sure to check the box to "Resize on mobile" and choose "Without navigation" in the drop down menu. Then choose "Free domain".
Now type in the tag for your URL.
And finally, click Publish!
Step 5: Now, Enjoy!
