Want to skip the AI and craft your social media post entirely on your own? Journal makes it super simple! Here's your step-by-step guide:

Open Journal and Click "Create Post"

Select the "Create from Scratch" option

This gives you a blank canvas to unleash your creativity

Write Your Caption

Type your full social media text directly into the text box

Add Your Media

Click the "Media" button

Upload your own image

Or browse free stock photo sites like Unsplash or Pixels

Select an image that perfectly complements your message

Preview and Customize

Check how your post looks on different platforms
