Then feed that image into DesignLumo with the prompt: “Add overlay text ‘10k Followers – Thank You!’ in bold Montserrat, include a circular profile photo placeholder, brand palette #1A73E8.” Export the layered file, tweak spacing in Adobe Express, and schedule the post. Expect a 1.8× increase in shares for milestone posts. Difficulty: Intermediate. ROI: Medium. Link: https://www.designlumo.com

Featured Service Tile
Generate a 400x400 tile in DesignLumo: “Design a LinkedIn featured service icon, flat design, brand teal, space for a 2‑word service label.” Export PNG, then import into Canva to add the specific service name (e.g., ‘Content Audits’).
