This past week we had a lot of folks reaching out to us about various marketing tools.


And yes, we’ve shared all these great tools before, but who is to say we can’t do it again? 


So, here is a recap of questions and answers for the week in review:

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐈𝐘 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫t—W𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬❓

Answer: https://www.renderforest.com


Renderforest.com

Video Creation Tool


Renderforest does a lot; however, we primarily recommend using the browser-based software for creating video content. The software lets you kickstart your marketing with its vast library of video templates in various categories, ranging from intros and music visualizations to explainer animations and promotional videos. Use scalable and editable scenes to create engaging videos in about an hour.


The great thing (and trouble) with Renderforest–it is a ridged template. Each scene is specific and only allows you so many characters. The animate is what it is, and there isn’t a lot of customization. Again, this is a good thing because the limited options make the software easy to use. For more advanced video editing, we suggest using Filmora.

Making the Right Choice: Building a Website Yourself or Hiring a Designer

By Justin Babcock • 12 Jul, 2023
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
