If you have just downloaded Brands.live and are staring at the screen wondering where to start, you are not alone. Every day, thousands of small business owners — jewellers in Surat, grocery shop owners in Pune, insurance agents in Ahmedabad — open the app for the first time with one goal: create a professional-looking post quickly and move on with their day.
The good news? Brands.live is designed exactly for that. You do not need design skills, a Canva subscription, or a marketing agency. In this Brands.live for beginners guide, you will learn how to use Brands.live from your very first login to downloading your first ready-to-share business post — in under 6 minutes.
Whether you want a Diwali poster with your shop’s logo, a daily “Good Morning” business post for WhatsApp, or a product launch banner for Instagram, this walkthrough covers everything you need to get started confidently.
Step 1: Create Your Account and Set Up Your Business Profile
The first time you open Brands.live, you are asked to sign up and add your business details. This is the most important step — and it only takes 60 seconds.
Here is what to fill in:
- Business name— This appears on every poster you download
- Business logo — Upload from your phone gallery or just create new one. (even a WhatsApp-saved logo works)
- Mobile number and address— Used on digital visiting cards and business frames
- Business category — Choose from 900+ options: Jewellery, Real Estate, Clothing, Grocery, Automobile, and more
Once you set this up, Brands.live automatically places your logo, name, and contact details on every template you pick. You never have to type the same information twice.
> Why this matters for your business: According to a 2023 report by Meta India, 70% of small businesses using branded social media content see higher customer trust than those using generic images. Your logo on every post is your digital identity.
📌 Key Takeaway: Spend 60 seconds on your business profile setup and Brands.live will auto-brand every single design you create going forward.
Step 2: Pick a Festival Post or Business Template
After your profile is set up, you land on the home feed. This is where Brands.live does the heavy lifting for you.
What you see on the home screen
🌟 Today’s festival posts — If it is a national holiday or major occasion, the templates for that day appear at the top automatically. You do not need to search.
🌟 Business category posts — Scroll down to see posts specific to your industry. A jeweller will see gold rate update templates. A restaurant owner will see menu and offer templates.
Trending designs — High-engagement templates based on what other businesses in your category are using.
How to find a specific template
If you are looking for something specific — say, a Republic Day banner or a “New Arrivals” post — use the search bar at the top. Type “New Arrival”, “Diwali Offer“, or “Happy Birthday” and browse the results.
For example, a clothing shop owner looking to announce new stock can search “New Arrivals”, pick a template they like, and have a branded, downloadable post ready in under 90 seconds.
📌 Key Takeaway: You never start from a blank canvas on Brands.live. Every template already has a professional layout — you simply replace the placeholder details with your own.
Step 3: Customize Your Design (Fonts, Colors, and Logo Placement)
Once you tap on a template you like, you enter the editor. This is where you personalize the design to match your brand.
What you can edit
- Text — Tap on any text field to change the wording. Useful for adding sale offers, product names, or event dates.
- Background — Swap the background image or color with one tap. Choose from the built-in stock library or upload your own product photo.
- Logo position — Your logo auto-appears based on your profile settings, but you can drag it to a different corner if needed.
- Language — Switch the template text to Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, or 10+ other Indian regional languages with a single tap.
A real use case: A jeweller in Rajkot
A jewellery shop owner wants to share the daily gold rate on WhatsApp. They open Brands.live, tap the Gold Rate template pinned at the top of their feed, update the rate to ₹7,450/gram, and download. Total time: 40 seconds. The post includes their shop name, logo, and contact number — no extra editing needed.
📌 Key Takeaway: The Brands.live editor is tap-and-replace, not drag-and-build. Most users make their first post without touching anything beyond the text.
Step 4: Create a Business Video in Minutes
Many beginners do not realize that Brands.live is not just a poster app. It is a full short-video creation tool — and you do not need to shoot any footage.
How to make your first business video
- Go to Reels Maker from the bottom navigation
- Select a video template (product showcase reel, festival greeting, offer announcement reel, business reels.
- Replace the placeholder text with your offer details
- Add your product photos from your phone gallery if needed
- Download the video — it is ready to post on Instagram Reels, WhatsApp Status, or Facebook Stories
Video posts on Indian social media platforms get 3x more reach than static images, according to data from Instagram India. A 15-second video announcing a Navratri sale takes the same effort as making a poster — but performs significantly better.
📌 Key Takeaway: If you are only using Brands.live for posters, you are leaving the most shareable format unused. Try one video template this week.
Step 5: Download and Share Directly to WhatsApp or Instagram
Once your design is ready, tap the Download button at the top right of the editor.
Download options
- Image (PNG/JPG) — Best for WhatsApp Status, Instagram feed, and Facebook posts
- Video (MP4) — Best for Reels, Stories, and WhatsApp Status
High Resolution — Available on paid plans for print use (banners, flex, etc.)
