Stuck trying to keep your Canva community engaged every day? Quick, actionable tips can spark creativity and keep members coming back. Use these Daily Tip templates to make sharing value easy and consistent.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Daily tips provide instant value without overwhelming your community members. When advice is bite-sized and actionable, people are more likely to read, remember, and try it right away. This creates a positive feedback loop where members feel accomplished and return for more quick wins.
Psychologically, daily tips lower the barrier to participation. Small wins can motivate even less active members to experiment with Canva and share their results. Over time, these tips reinforce learning, foster trust in the community, and build a habit of checking in. Because the content is so practical, it appeals to both beginners and experienced users, making your community more inclusive and helpful.

Schedule one Daily Tip post per day or a few times per week across your main community channels. Copy and paste any template, personalize it with your brand voice if needed, and encourage members to try the tip and reply with their results. Use visuals or short demos when possible to increase clarity. Rotate through different themes like design shortcuts, workflow tricks, or inspiration to keep things fresh. Track engagement to see which tips resonate most.
For all platforms, post at high-traffic times and use relevant hashtags or tags to increase visibility. Pin or highlight especially popular tips for new members. Use platform features like polls or story posts to make tips interactive.
Incorporate focused daily tips that break down advanced features into bite-sized lessons. For example, dedicate one day to showing how to set up a Brand Kit with brand colors and fonts, and another day to demonstrating Magic Resize workflows. Use annotated screenshots or short screen recordings in your Canva template to visually guide members through these advanced functions, making the tips actionable and less overwhelming.
Frame your daily tip templates as guidance rather than criticism. Use Canva-specific terminology, such as 'Utilize Grids for Consistent Alignment' or 'Try Pre-made Font Pairings in Canva.' Provide example visuals within your template that show both the mistake and the improved version, and add a friendly 'Pro Tip' section encouraging experimentation. This approach offers constructive feedback and builds confidence in your community.
Create a recurring 'Feature Friday' or 'Update Spotlight' daily tip template where you spotlight the latest Canva releases. Use official Canva changelog links, visual walkthroughs, and GIFs created within Canva to demonstrate new tools or interface changes. Encourage community response by asking members to share their first impressions or projects using the new features in the comments.
Design daily tip templates with call-to-action sections like 'Show Us Your Remix!' or 'Share Your Take on Today’s Tip.' Reference Canva’s 'Share a Link to Edit' and 'Share a Link to Use as Template' features directly in your tip instructions. This makes it easy for members to share their creations with attribution, and fosters a collaborative spirit around template usage and adaptation.
Clearly label each tip with a 'Pro Feature' or 'Free Feature' badge within the template. When highlighting Pro-exclusive tools like Background Remover or Brand Kits, offer free user alternatives where possible (e.g., manual background erasing or using free color palette tools). Encourage discussion by asking users to share their own workarounds or discoveries based on their Canva plan.
Curate daily tip templates that showcase a specific trend with real Canva elements, such as gradient backgrounds or trending font choices. Add a 'Try This Trend' challenge with template links, and prompt members to post their own trend-inspired designs using Canva’s sharing features. Include a discussion question in the template—e.g., 'How have you used gradients in your Canva projects this month?'—to encourage conversation and feedback.
