How To Use A Mockup Template For Fast Results on TPT – The Right Mockup Matters
Remember how I emphasized the right mock-up? Let’s revisit that quickly. The right mock-up should allow you to complete the 4C’s because the right mockup takes you through those 4C’s at warp speed. Let’s take a trip through the steps – Choose, Customize, Capture, Captivate.
Step 1: Choose
The right mockup provides several sizes to choose from including square, pin sizes, and idea pins (which double for TikTok and Instagram reels). It also allows you to choose which tool works best for you – Canva or PowerPoint.
Step 2: Customize
The right mockup allows you to manipulate the elements in any way that works best for you. Everything in the mockup is moveable, editable, captionable, and even animate-able.
Step 2: Capture
The right mockup allows many options for downloading the file – JPEG, PNG, GIF, or Video.
Step 3: Captivate
The right mockup produces eye-catching images and videos that can be used anywhere and everywhere to captivate your audience so your amazing product has a chance to shine on TPT.
