Being able to create social media images is an incredibly useful skill. Images pretty much essential for social media sharing these days, but they also make a chunk of text much more digestible and are an important for branding, too.
Images are a great way of making private label rights content your own. You can add an image to a blog post, use it as an opening slide in a video or as a YouTube thumbnail. Some PLR creators offer images in their packs such as social media images and e-book covers that you can edit to suit your own projects and branding.
