Features of AppMySite

We are now inside the platform of AppMySite and right from the beginning here we can choose to either create a new app or use the one that I have already been playing around with. Now this is for my website and my website is a very simple WordPress website where I only share articles and news and I do have some newsletetr forms. I am not a webshop in this case, so I just want to show you AppMySite from the perspective of having a blog or a news site.

From the get going here on the dashboard we have some information about our app. We can see how far I am.

I have made the appearance. I have connected it to my website but I’ve not download it yet. I’ve only tested it within AppMySite. Then you can see we have some featured add-ons down here. I can add language support, so I can easily change the language in my app to offer it to even more people.

Then I can have an app store design from AppMySite. I can make a white label solution and I can upload it to app stores. This is through AppMySite. Furthermore, you can also see here that I can bring my app to life with these different steps that I have already done. But now let’s just jump right into appearance and to the app icon where it is that we start. Here, you can create it.

Basically you choose your background colour, what text you want, what the font should be and the font size and the colour. Now the fonts, they do not have so many fonts, so right now it’s a bit limited. I’m using Jost as my font and that is not to be found right here, and then it’s just to press save. If you have built your app icon in Photoshop or in Crello, for instance, you can upload it right here and then the photo that you have created will be used instead.

That is completely up to you, but you can easily get started with your app icon here, and you can always change it later. Now we can also design the launch screen and the launch screen is also called a splash screen and that’s the screen showing when the app is booting up. Here we can again add a background image, we change it to a colour, or we can choose both elements. Then we can choose what logo text it should be. We can also upload our logo or our design here.

For now, I’ve just chosen create. Then we can choose the colour. Again we do not have so many fonts, and then we can choose how we want it to be aligned. I just like it there in the middle and when you’re done, you just press save. And now we’re already done with the foundation of the app.

Now we’re moving on to the login and sign up because you can create a community within your app. So if you have a webshop, you can create an entire community where people can save your items. They can comment on them, or they can leave reviews. And this is very well integrated with WordPress. Now here for the login and sign up page.

We have again the same elements we can work with, and we can also upload our own design or the logo, if you want to. Remember that each time you make changes, you can always change to see how it looks on iOS and Android. Furthermore, you can also change here to see how it will look on the different displays. Now do be aware here that you are getting continued with Google, Facebook and Apple within AppMySite and you do not have to do anything to gain that. Now we also have the colour theme here.

The colour theme is basically where you can make your app unique right now. Because it is limited in the designing process of how much you can move around and make it unique. But the colouring and the font is where you can make it really unique. I have just chosen the colours that I use on my website and then the font that is closest to the one I’m using. They do not have my font, and then you can see the design over here on the right side. Moving on to the home screen.

Here we design how the home screen is going to look like.

We can then drag and drop the different elements. If we want to move the main banner up, I will just enable it, and then we can press save. When I press save, it is refreshing the page and then I can see how it looks like. Now I feel the main banner is a little bit unnecessary, so I will just disable it again, and then we can see over here when I scroll down we can see the design of the app. And it is so important that you always check the design because it needs to be appealing for the user to use it.

Now I also want to disable the pages here, so I just have my recent blogs, popular blogs, blog categories and the latest blog. Now this is not my content. It could be a great addition if they would add my content here, so I could easily see how it was looking. And if I needed to do any changes to the graphics for each of these elements, or at least for some of them we also have settings. And based on what it is, then we can change for instance, here the text of the header.

We can change the colours, or if you’re working with pages, you can also change all of your pages. What I mean by that is that you can choose what pages should be included in the app. For instance, I have some pages like; thank you so much, which is the page shown when people sign up for my newsletter. That should not be a part of the menu in the app.

So please do go in here and choose the pages that you want in your app. Now in connectivity here, this is where you integrate with your WordPress website and still it has nothing to do with coding. It is just a plugin that you install on your website and then you go in here in AppMySite and press verify. After that, you need to make some API details. Don’t worry, it is very simple, and they guide you through.

Here how it is you set up this and create the application password. Do not give them your admin password. It is just an application password. Last but not least, if you’re having issues, you can go to the troubleshooting menu here, and then you can see what you’re missing in order for your app to be completely connected to your website.

Now we also have the settings menu here and the settings is where we can really deep dive into the app. Here we set our app name. We set what website it is, the CMS platform they only support WordPress right now, but there will be added more in the future. Then we set the business email, the business phone and the terms and conditions and this you need because App Store and Google Play Store are asking for it. That is the only reason. In the menu settings here we can choose whether we should use a menu from our website as we know it from WordPress, or it should just be populated by post categories and pages that is completely up to you. In the bottom navigation here, which is basically your menu.

You can change everything from the icons. You can change what should be in the bottom. If you don’t want the search, then you just disable it. If you don’t want the blogs, you also just disable it, and then you choose what view should be your default selection. You can also change the styling here. If you want to choose the colours, I should, here change the colours to match my purple style.

But I think it’s great that we can change out the icons so we again can make it even more unique, and you can choose here either to choose and bold, regular light icon. I would like to have the option to upload my own icon, so I can make it even more unique, but that will come in the future. You can also add items here if you want to link to something specific, or you want a web view, so you can show a specific page on your website.

Here we can again select the icon that we find the most relevant. Now in the users menu here. Here we can see all of the users, and we can enable Google login, Apple login, Facebook login as I just shown you in the login page, we can also choose to enable guest browsing. We can enable user login, and we can prompt the user to login before they can start using the app. I would not recommend that unless you have some specific content that can only be shown for actual users and not people just downloading the app. In the post menu over here under settings, we can again choose whether it should be grid view, Web view and search, whether all of these should be enabled.

This is very basic. I’ll just scroll through these so you can just see again pages. It is choosing the web view and for social here we can add our social media links so it will be shown within the app. Then we have our preview tap here, within the preview tab we can choose to either test it within AppMySite, and now I’m testing it on iOS iPhone 11 Pro Max. I can also test it on my own device by downloading the app.

Now here I’ll just say allow, and then we can actually see the app that we have created here with my actual content. So here we have all of my blog categories. I would probably change that. Then we have my recent blogs and that’s about it right now. I can choose to go to blocks to get an overview of my blog categories in this case. I can choose the first category here, and then I can see the blog post within this category.

I really like to design, it is simple, minimalistic, and when I click on a blog post it is showing me the web view. This is something I hope that they will change in the future, so it gives a better experience of the app, testing it and using it. Now in the download tap here, you basically download the app, so you can upload it on Google Play Store or on the iOS Apple Store. This is only if you don’t want AppMySite to do it.

If you want to do it yourself, then you can download it here, and then you basically download a build that you need to upload to. Of course the store you want to upload it to. This is very simple if you know what you’re doing, if you don’t know what you’re doing, maybe ask AppMySite to do it with the add-on. The last elements we have down here is we have performance where you can choose whether you want the web hosting within AppMySite. Often you will not need this.

Then we have notifications, and this is a very intriguing feature. Here you can create push notifications. So let’s say that you have a webshop, and you are having a sale on all of your items for 20%. Then I would recommend you going in here, creating a new push notification highlighting that you have a sale on 20% on all of your items, and people will click on the notification, and they will be straight into the app so they can choose the items that they would like to buy of course, and you can even choose whether it should be Android, iOS or both.

Furthermore, you can also schedule it. So let’s say that you have planned it out in the future. Then go in and schedule a push notification immediately, so you are sure that it will be sent out as soon as your sales starts. Now, if you’re running a multi-site, it is still possible to use AppMySite. You basically just add the app in here, and then you can add your app for your multi-site.

I’m not using a multi-site, so that’s why we see this screen right here, but it is possible. You can also add monetization, so let’s say that you have a WordPress website, and you are a blog, and you just create articles and news around a niche that you have chosen. Then you can add monetization in your app, so you not only earn money on your blog, you also earn money on the app while people use it. And it’s so easy, you basically just add your Google AdMob ID and then you just enable where you want this to be shown, and then you’re good to go.

The last element I want to show you, is the add-ons. In here as I also mentioned here, you can choose what add-ons you want to add. Of course, you don’t have to choose any if you would not like. But if you’re using a multi-site, you need to add the multi-site support or you want user management then also add this add-on. Just always keep an eye on the price when it is that you build out all of the add-ons into your app.

AppMySite pricing

Taking a look at the pricing structure of AppMySite. It is a very fair pricing, especially when we compare to the alternatives. They do have three plans, and I would recommend you starting out with the free plan and build your app out as much as you can make it as extensive as you can, because on the free plan you can build your app, and you can test it. But you cannot publish it. You need to upgrade to a paid plan, but there’s no need for you to build your app and pay for a paid plan if you can do it on the free plan.

Now to be aware that when you have to publish your app, you need to upgrade to a higher plan, and you can choose to either let AppMySite to it and buy an add-on or you can do it yourself. They do have a lot of great add ons as you can see here, but do be aware that the add-ons will add up in the end. So always keep an eye on the price.

Alternatives to AppMySite

Now moving on to the alternatives to AppMySite, I see two alternatives. I see AppMaker and AppConvertly. Now with AppConvertly, it is not exactly like we see it with AppMySite because AppConvertly basically built the app based on your website.

You are not the one sitting and dragging and dropping. However, it is a fair pricing they have for building an entire app. Now with AppMaker, it is exactly as we see it with AppMySite. You sit and you drag and drop all of your elements to build out your app. But they do have a lot more functionality within AppMaker that we haven’t seen within AppMySite yet, but based on the roadmap, they will come very soon.

Future of AppMySite

Now moving on to the future of AppMySite you can see here on the screen that they are building a lot of exciting elements. There are some few things I want to point out. They are adding a live chat to your app so you can sit and chat with all of your users. Then they’re adding analytics, which means that you can see how often is your app downloaded, how often is it used? And you can basically see a lot of graphs of the usage of your app.

Then they are going to add more languages so you can have your app in more languages. Last but not least they’re adding auto-deploy. This will make it so much easy for you to add new changes and push your app up to the app store without you have to ask AppMySite or manually do it for yourself all the time. Then they are all going to add a lot of extra features. All of these features and modules will make it possible to make your app even more unique, and that’s what we really need for our app.

The more unique it is, the more people will actually use it.

Use cases of AppMySite

Now I want to share two use cases with you. If you are a webshop and you’re running with WordPress and WooCommerce, then AppMySite is perfect for you. Because within the app, all of your users can create an account, and then they can save all of the elements and the items on your website that they like. And then they can follow all of the items and you can even share news about the items and so much more.

So you are creating a little community around your app and your website and your webshop within the app.

Now, if you are just running a WordPress blog or a similar WordPress website where you don’t have the webshop functionality, you can still use this to create an app for all of your news. You can easily get your news out, and you can also create a community within the app so you can get feedback from all of your readers, and you can see how they use your website, and in this case the app.

Pros & Cons using AppMySite

Now moving on to the pros and cons of using AppMySite. Starting with the pros, their design is easy to use.

You can easily build out your app, and they have extensive functionality from start.

Whereas for the cons, you can only convert WordPress websites, I do sometimes feel little locked in the designing process and add-ons can be quite expensive.

My experience using AppMySite

With AppMySite, you can easily build out your app, and it’s an easy way to create an extra traffic stream for your website or your webshop and AppMySite are there to help you from A to Z. Overall I will give AppMySite three and a half stars. But yea that is my review of AppMySite.

I hope that you liked the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to AppMySite or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below.

Thank you so much for watching, let’s catch up on the next one.

Are you tracking your keywords on Google? When we build content, we build content for a specific keyword. And it’s so important when you have published your content that you track it and make sure that it ranks for the right keywords. But doing this process is time-consuming, especially if you do it manually. And that is why today’s product showcase is Nozzle, a powerful rank tracker for your website.

So without further Ado, let’s dive into Nozzle and track some keywords. Signing in to Nozzle, you will be presented with all of your projects and teams that you have set up. Of course, if you haven’t said anything up, you will be prompted to set up. But here we can see a short overview of my project called Phillip Stemann. Here I can see my rankings, estimated traffic, and much more information which you can see here on the screen.

Features of Nozzle

All of these information can be elaborated when we click on View Dashboard. But what I want to show you first is managed keywords. In here in our keyword manager, we are setting up the keywords that we want to track. You can see it’s scheduled to check every day, what my rankings are.

Because if you set it too often you will just get spanned with notifications and emails and it’s not really worth it. But here you can see I have added 3 keywords Encharge.io, Nichesss and Writesonic reviews. You can also group these keywords. This is just phrases. Do be aware that when you set up these keywords, it does take a lot of time before you can start seeing some data within Nozzle.

So just be patient. But here we can choose what devices we want to track. I should add mobile here and then we can choose countries here you can see we can change the schedule to daily every other day, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and so on down the list. You can really set it as exactly you want it to be. Here we can see the total tracked keywords is now nine and that’s because we have three different platforms.

We have desktop, mobile iOS and mobile Android that it’s tracking on. I will now press save keywords and now you can see here that it will take approximately 30 minutes before we can start seeing data within Nozzle. I do already have some data to show you. Now we have the project team info, which is very limited and then we have brands. And what’s important within brands is to enter all of your competitors, the companies that you are competing against on specific keywords.

And the way you find the competitors is to Google some of the keywords that you are trying to rank on and then take the top ten, maybe top five and then set them as competitors. If they do write similar concept as you and then add them into Nozzle, because then you can use on the dashboard to compare them against you, I will show you how. The last element is segments. And this is if you want to segment the content into different segments. This is not something I’ve used a lot, but now let’s jump into the dashboards where we can see actual data on our keywords.

You can see out here that there are a lot of dashboards that they’re working on, which are not released yet, but right now we have the dashboard here, which is the entire overview of my keywords. Right now I’m only ranking on one of the keywords I have entered. That incorrect, I do rank on all of them, but within Nozzle, I do apparently only rank on this keyword here. Now we can see information like segments.

As I just mentioned before, we can see the URL, which is ranking. We can see the rank group, whether it’s organic, desktop, on paid, and then down here we can see what keywords are we ranking on and what page are ranking for that keyword. So let’s say that you have made a cooking recipe on meatloaf, but you can see that it’s actually ranking on a pasta dish keyword then something is completely wrong within your content, and you really do need to change it, or you just need to change it to rank on the pasta dish and make a new article for the meatloaf.

What I have experienced sometimes is seeing the wrong pages ranking for the wrong keywords, and that means you need to go and twist the content. So you are sure that they are ranking on the right keywords.

And that is something that Nozzle really visualise for you. With the dashboard here, we can deep dive even more, so we can go by performance and say by keyword. So in here we will get an overview per keyword. So we have only one key word to work with here. And for this keyword, we can see the top whatever we want to see are ranking on this keyword, you can see I’m ranking number 26 right now.

When Nozzle gathers more data, it will show me a CTR, pixels from top. How far am I from the top of the screen, above the fold percentage and so on. You can see here that Trustpilot, Capterra, and a lot more are ranking above me. But if I go down, and I show top 50, then you can see that I’m showing down here. So what Nozzle does is that it scans 200 results for you to see who else are ranking.

And of course, what you need to do is you need to check the content above your ranking and see what they are doing different compared to you because you can really learn from that. And then you will start to rank higher. You can also see down here that they take a screenshot so you are really sure and certain that what they are telling you is correct. And while I scroll, you can see out in the left menu out here the colour is changing. Of course we want to be in the green segment.

It’s not always possible. So you can see I’m down in the Orange segment for my content, my piece of content right here. I do of course want to get it up in the green. So what I need to do is I need to check all of the results above me and see what they do different compared to me. This view is very powerful and with the views coming with local, featured snippet and video view, it will be even more powerful and easy for me to check all of my keywords and see what I can do better.

Now a competitor analysis can be done within the share of voice here. Here you can see that right now I’ve chosen brand type all brand type, but I can also choose my competitors and within my competitors we get even more data. Right now my competitors does not have a lot of data, but we would be able to see keywords, rankings, CTR and just like you saw before. We can also by a single keyword, go in add the competitor I should just saw. Then we select the keyword Encharge.io review, and then we can see how our competitors are ranking compared to us.

If they’re even ranking on the keyword, and you can see I had a ranking on 26 before and in average they are ranked 101, which means that I am doing way better than they are on this specific keyword.

And of course you can add all of the keywords you want to of course, depending on your plan, and then you can check how you are ranking compared to your competitors. And if your competitors are ranking higher than you, then check them out and see what they are doing differently compared to you. Nozzle does also have a dark theme. If you do more like to work with dark theme, you can see it right here. It also works great and the colour differences are great.

Now this is the overall platform within Nozzle right now they are adding a lot of dashboards you can see out here. We have more different types of sortings that we can use. It is not as relevant as the stuff I have just shown you, but with the dashboards coming up and the SERP features, it will be such a powerful and rich tool.

Nozzle pricing

Tracking tools are very expensive because it requires a lot of server power to track all of your keywords, and you will see the same for Nozzle here. They do have four plans and all of these four plans differs on the amount of keywords you are tracking, and you can see the four plans here on the screen. Now it is so important that you test out Nozzle before you try it, and they do offer a trial for you to test it, and you should definitely take the trial.

Because Nozzle does have a steep learning curve with all the data that you just saw in the walkthrough.

Alternatives to Nozzle

Now the competitor to Nozzle as I see it is SerpWatch. ServpWatch is another product that I use on a daily basis to track my keywords.

What is so great about SerpWatch, which Nozzle does not have yet but is coming is that within SerpWatch I can see whether I’m ranking on Snippets, whether I’m ranking in people also ask and in images even. What is so great about this is that I can really narrow my content to optimise it for these different elements. This is not something we see within Nozzle yet, but looking at the roadmap, it is coming very soon.

Future of Nozzle

As you can see here on the screen, the roadmap is filled up with great features coming.

What I want to highlight is the four dashboards which is local SEO, featured snippets, people also ask and reputation management. These four dashboards together will give us even more insight into our content and into our keywords and how our content is ranking for the specific keywords, and that is very insightful data for us to have. The last thing I want to highlight is the Google Search integration. This will allow us to import all of our keywords from Google Search and into Nozzle to utilise Nozzle around our keywords.

I do also hope to see a Google Analytics integration.

Pros & Cons using Nozzle

Now moving on to the pros and cons of Nozzle. Starting with the pros. You can really work with a lot of data within Nozzle. They have graphs which explains a lot, and then they have an awesome and interesting future. Whereas, for the cons they do have a steep learning curve.

I’m missing dashboards to visualise the data and then the design is not so modern.

My experience using Nozzle

With Nozzle, you really have a powerful tool to track all of your keywords. And with Nozzle, you will always be sure that your content is ranking for the right keywords and whether it’s ranking for featured Snippets or people also ask is something you will see in the near future in the exciting roadmap of Nozzle. Overall, I will give Nozzle three stars. But yea, that is my review of Nozzle. I hope that you liked the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up.

If you have any questions to Nozzle or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below.

Thank you so much for watching, let’s catch up on the next one.

Are you running out of ideas of what to post on social media? The other day I was sitting and working on a post, but I just couldn’t nail it as exactly I wanted it to be. Then I ran into this product which not only wrote the entire post for me, but it could do so much more for my social media. Today’s product showcase is Ocoya an AI social media assistant, which can help you grow your social media presence. So without further Ado, let’s dive in and set up some posts.

Here we are in the platform and I really do enjoy this design.

We have our dashboard where we have a lot of different things that we can start doing, but I will just jump straight into the create functionality so we can create a post. Now here I can choose to either create content or I can create with Canva. And if I do choose to just create content, it goes straight into me choosing my format and after this we will see a Crello integration. For now I’ll just make a flyer. Then I click on flyer here and we are now within Crello.

7. My experience using Ocoya

Features of Ocoya

So they do integrate with Crello, which is another product that I’m working with. Now in here I can choose a template or I can just start building from scratch. I often do like to choose a template because it gives me some guidelines of where I can go with this post. Now I will just choose this autumn post right here. And then if I do press publish here, then it will publish my post.

But I’m missing a little bit guidance here because where will it post it? Will it post it on all of my different platforms? Or will it only post it within the Ocoya platform? Now, another way we can go around this is we can go to the scheduler. In here we can schedule posting.

So here we have my calendar and if I do press schedule, I will be sent back to the content page where I can press create content. Again. Now let’s say I will create an Instagram post and then again, I get the different types of templates out here and each of these templates are exactly customised for the Instagram post size dimension. So all of these are 1080 by 1080. So if I just click on this one here or let’s say I take the Vegan one here and I press publish.

Then again, we are on to the next. Within Crello you can do a ton of different stuff. You can change the photos, you can work with objects and so much more. There are a lot of possibilities, so this is definitely a great integration Ocoya has.

And the same with Canva. If you have a Canva user, you do really know that with Canva you can do a lot of stuff, but to be able to use Canva, you need an account with Canva, whereas with Crello just having your Ocoya is enough. Now another thing I want to show you within the content is stock images. Because you have access to Unsplash. You have access to Pexels and to Pixabay so you can use all of those stock images easy within Ocoya.

And I think that’s a general thing about Ocoya. They integrate with a lot of different software and platforms to really gather everything within their platform to make it easy for you to control your social media and do a lot of great posting because the same we see with gifs over here. Here we have powered by Giphy, which means they pull in all of the gifs from Giphy for you to use on your social media. So let’s say I like the one here with the elephant. I can then create a post with this elephant and then move on.

Now you can see that I’m at my content and here and then have the elephant.

I can then choose to generate a caption and by generating a caption we are then utilising the AI copywriter within Ocoya. So here we can describe the idea we want for this elephant. I will just write Elephant running after a ball. This is just for the sake of the video. Here you can see that the only thing cuter than a baby elephant is a baby elephant chasing its favourite toy. I think that’s great.

I’ll just added and you can see over here as I add it’s building out the post. Then I can choose to generate trending hashtags and you can see these trending hashtags does not necessarily have something to do with your posting. That would be a really great feature, and I think that’s definitely something they need to change. So I could at least give it some input or it would take my caption input to find the trending hashtags. And I would also like to see some information about the hashtag.

Why is it trending and why is this relevant for my post? Because of course there can be hashtag that I don’t necessarily find relevant for my post, but because of all the data that Ocoya has, they will tell me it is relevant because XYZ. Now we can also generate inspirational quotes. If you are that type of channel or that type of profile. Here you can see we get some different ones. Happiness lies in perspective. What we think we become from Buddha and so on. So all of these elements are possible.

And then when we are satisfied, we can save the post and we now have a post with a caption ready to just schedule. Now if you have built out some content on your own computer, you can upload it to Ocoya right here and then use it as a post to schedule or to shoot out to your followers. Now if you want to utilise the AI aspect of Ocoya without it has to do something about social media. This is also possible because out here in the menu we have Travis AI.

And via Travis AI we have a lot of different types of AI content generation tools that we can use, and these can be confused because they don’t have anything to do with social media.

You can see we have blog conclusion that has nothing to do with social media. Of course, you can use a conclusion as a social media posts. If you do find relevant, let’s say that you are posting about a blog that you did. Then posting a conclusion of the blog can be helpful sometimes, but for instance, feature to benefit or YouTube video topic ideas. That’s not necessarily something for social media.

So you need to see all of these tools in here as an extra add on that you get with Ocoya. Now to test out Ocoya’s AI copywriter, I will just choose to generate a Google ad copy. I will type in my product name, which is Panta.ai and a description telling that it’s a project management system which utilising AI to help you manage your project.

So now let’s try and generate a Google Ad copy to see how good this one really is. And what I really like about Ocoya, is that it generates takes so fast. What I do not like is that you only get one ad copy here. So if I did not like this one, I had to run it again. What we see in other AI copywriting tool is that we often get three to five different types of ad copies that we can check through and to really choose the one that we like.

And this is also a way to train the AI to really see which is most liked and what type of wording and so on. So that’s something I would hope that they would really add to Ocoya platform because it is a great platform. Now here we have our Google ad copy, and I think it’s a great result, and I really do like that it separates into headline one, headline two, description one and description two because that’s how you need it within Google Ads. When it is you set up your ad and I think it make more or less sense.

I would make small changes, for instance, about the chat bot and the one on one assistance. That’s a little bit irrelevant, but I think overall that’s a great result. Now let’s move on to the ecommerce here because if you are running an Ecommerce website or a web shop, you can see here we have Shopify, Amazon, Ebay, and Etsy. Right now it is not able to run for all of these. I know that Shopify is possible.

For the rest you need to be patient because they are not integrated yet. But with Shopify, you can integrate your Shopify website and then you can pull in all of your products within Ocoya, and then you can easily create posts around a product. So let’s say that you are selling a pair of shoes and you want to create some awareness about these shoes. Then via this integration you will have the shoes in here and then on the product you can create a post about the shoes. It could be a small feature you want to tell about these shoes or it can just be overall that you have them on sale or similar items.

So by having this integration you save a ton of time because it’s pulling all of the data points for you. And with all of the integrations coming up with Amazon, Ebay and Etsy, it will be a very powerful tool. Now in the analytics section here. This one is not very extensive at the moment. We have our posts here where we can see how many images we have created, how many posts we have created hashtags generated and so on.

This is a bit irrelevant. I want to see the traction of my posts and we can also see that a little bit here, but this is very, very limited. You can see out here. We can also sort on our profile. I would like to see more extensive analytics and as I’m going to talk about later in the video, they are actually working on this.

Now the last menu point is our social channels. Here it is just for you to connect your social media and they do also integrate with Buffer schedule and Hootsuite schedule, if you’re already using those. Of course it is a little bit duplicate, so I wouldn’t use both applications. But that is of course up to you. If you have the highest plan, they do also have API which I will not go into.

Ocoya pricing

Now moving on to the pricing structure of Ocoya, it consists of three plans, and as you probably can see here, these plans are not cheap compared to the competitors. You do really need to go through each of these plans to find out which one is perfect for you. If you are an agency do go with the most expensive plan because there you get the functionality to really pleasure all of your customers. But if you are just a single company or a freelancer, then take look at the lowest plan. Of course, if you do need the features of the higher plans, then do go with those.

But what I would really recommend you is taking the seven day trial to test out the product to see whether it’s for you.

Alternatives to Ocoya

Because when we do compare it to the competitor, as I see it, which is Radaar. It is a lot similar to Radaar, but Radaar has social media listening, which Ocoya doesn’t have, and Radaar does not have the AI assistant, which Ocoya has, so it really depends on your need. If you need a lot of social media analytics and ways to post and listen to all what is going on around your channel, then go with Radaar.

Radaar

Radaar is a social media listening software that helps you to always stay on top of where you are mentioned. Furthermore, you can schedule and manage all of your social media within one platform.

watch review of radaar

But if you need the AI aspect and help about posting and an integration to your ecommerce site, then do go with Ocoya. It really depends on your need.

Future of Ocoya

Moving on to the future of Ocoya, they are, of course, working on the workflow of the platform, so we can use it more efficiently and faster go from zero to have our post out on social media. Then they are working on white labelling features, multiple accounts, more extensive analytics. And the most important element is that they’re working on more integrations. Here I’m talking about integrations to Pinterest, Etsy and to TikTok, which means that for instance, on Etsy, you can easily share all of your products on social media with this simple integration and with Pinterest, of course you can auto schedule a lot of different posts, and with TikTok, you can post your video material which you can even build within Ocoya.

So, with all of these features coming, we will definitely see an increase in the value of Ocoya.

Use cases of Ocoya

Now I want to share some use cases with you. If you are a small to medium sized company, you can easily use Ocoya to manage all of your social media presence. Even though they do not have the social media listing, you can schedule a lot of your posts via Ocoya on the different platforms that they integrate with and you can even create all of these posts within Ocoya. So as a small to medium sized company, you can really gather all of your social media activity within Ocoya.

Now if you are an e commerce website, Ocoya is perfect for you because Ocoya integrates with Shopify and soon Etsy.

So if you use these platforms, you can easily pull in all of your products and then create awareness about all of these products. Even if it is products coming soon. This will mean that you can faster get your products off the shelves and sold to all of your clients. The integrations are a great way to really narrow it in, get all of your products within Ocoya and then shoot it out to all of your followers.

Pros & Cons using Ocoya

Now moving on to the pros and cons of Ocoya, starting with the pros. They have a beautiful design and they have an AI copy writer and then they have e commerce integrations. Whereas for the cons they do not have a WooCommerce integration or TikTok and this will really higher the value of Ocoya. Last but not least the content flow where you go from zero to having a post ready. It’s just too long. It’s not efficient enough yet.

My experience using Ocoya

With Ocoya, I always have ideas for my social media posting and with the constant development of the software, it makes it an interesting tool for me to use in my everyday. Overall, I will give Ocoya four stars. I really enjoy using the tool and all of the functionality within.

But yea, that is my review of Ocoya, I hope that you liked the video and if you please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Ocoya or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

SEO should be a focus for all companies and individuals with a website. Because in 2021 it is such a rich traffic stream. And the technical part of SEO does really support your content. Today’s product showcase is Screpy, a technical SEO product based on AI helping you to optimise your rankings. So without further Ado, let’s dive into Screpy and let’s see how it can help us optimise.

We are now on this beautiful platform of Screpy. As you can see right off the bat, here we have the project of my website which has an overall health of 88, which is good. Of course, 99 would be the best. But this is our overview of where we have our different projects. So, if you have multiple websites, this is also possible within Screpy. But for now, I have my website here, and I can then go to the project to see all the information.

Features of Screpy

What is giving me this 88 health score? So what Screpy is doing is that it’s running thousands of different checks on my website and utilising AI to make sure all of these checks are correct and going even further when it is it check my different pages. But you can see here on the dashboard. I have an SEO score on 73%. We can get that elaborated by going here and seeing why is it not 99?

And that is because Screpy is telling me I’m missing a site map which is incorrect, but that is just the way that Screpy is checking. Then it can see my constant ratio is not optimal and some of my pages is missing structured data. If I do fix all of these different tasks you can see down here I would score higher on the SEO score within Screpy. It is not crucial for you to fix it, but it could be a great way to maybe higher your rankings one or two.

Now going back to the overview here, we do also have our Alexa global rank.

We have some information about our domain. If it is accessible, it is not for my domain. Then we have some different checks down here. It was the same as what you just saw before in the SEO report. Then we have some different elements here with Google page speed where it is that it runs a Google page speed on our website to see what it can improve or not.

And this is the basic of Screpy. It is running a lot of different checks and elements to make sure that it can gather everything in one platform for you to just go through the tasks and make sure that your website is 100% optimised for SEO. Down here I have added four key words and here we can see my average position is 21. And then again down here we have our issues where we have high priority, normal priority and low priority. And if I did fix all of these issues, I would score 99 in the health score, but talking about tasks, they have made this beautiful view where you can see all of your tasks in one view.

And of course they are prioritised after how critical they are, you can see here I have two critical tasks that I need to do and then I have one high task in priority and then some normal tasks I can do. So what I’m noticing here is that a lot of these tasks I don’t find relevant. For instance, I’m already using WebP on my website, so it’s confusing me a little bit the same with the sitemap. I do also have a sitemap, so I think the way they check is not checking the way that I’m running my website, but maybe they will be improved in the future because websites are doing it in so many different ways.

But here I basically have a long list of tasks that I can just go through, starting from the top and work my way down.

And when I have fixed all of these, then I’m sure that my website is 100% optimised for SEO and then I’m sure that my content will rank the best possible. Of course it also depends on the content, but from a technical aspect, this is very great to see. Now what Screpy also have is on page SEO. Screpy is not for building content, Screpy is for the technical aspect and for rank tracking. So on the on page here I will just go to Diagnostics and here I have two pages where I can see some different elements for these pages.

I can see how many requests are made on this page, how many fonts are loading, how many scripts and stylesheets? And this needs to be as low as possible because the lower elements needs to load, the faster the website will load. Now going on to the syntax here. Here you can see that these two pages have 31 errors, so let’s click on those errors to see what it is. It is here telling me that I have some structural errors.

It is telling me a charset attribute on meta element are found after the first 1024 bytes. See these elements here and these errors are great, but it’s not telling me why is this an error and what should I do instead it is just highlighting me the error. I really need to see what I can do to solve this. Of course I could just go and Google it, but I really need the solution right here, because Screpy is trying to do this where they are an all in one platform for the technical SEO.

So by them adding the solution here, it would really save me a lot of time. Moving on to the keywords here, here it is telling me for these two pages that it has scanned.

What are the first words, the second words and the third words? And this is the keywords that Screpy thinks that the content is focusing on. The first page is my front page and it doesn’t have a lot of content. But the next one here is CookieYes review.

And here is telling me that the first keywords is website, cookies and CookieYes, that is more or less correct. The focus keyword for this article is CookieYes, but this you can really use to see whether your content is focused on the right keyword. And if not, then maybe you need to go and tweak your content to make sure it is really focused on the keywords that you have as a focus keyword for this piece of content.

In the secondary and the last box here it is a bit of a mix. It says category, YouTube, GDPR compliant, entire website. That is a bit of a mix, it’s not something I’m focusing a lot on. I’m mainly focused on my keyword, which is CookieYes review for this specific article.

And as CookieYes review is not showing, maybe I need to go and tweak this content a little bit. Now moving on to the headings here and remember, all of this is on page SEO. This means the technical SEO in your pieces of content. You can see here I’m getting an error because on my front page I have two H1s and you should always only have one. So I should definitely go and fix that if it is valid.

But on this one here you can see that I’m using H1, H2 and so on correct. But I’m not using H5, so maybe I should go and check why I’m using H6 and not H5. Because building a piece of content is like building a word document, it needs to be with the headings correct for your table of content and for Google to read it right. Now in the canonicals tab here we can just see some few elements. We can see whether the status is correct.

The URL is correct, the content type is correct, and if it is a canonical tag, then we can see the address which its canonical for. And if this is incorrect, you really need to fix that right away. In the second last here in Images, here we can see how many images we are using on the different pages, and then we can show details about the images. Here we can see the width, the size, the alt tag because alt tag is describing the image. I can see here the image I’m using of myself is not described, but I’m not sure that is actually showing on the website.

Other than that I’m using alt tags correct all the way around.

So that looks fine. If I Scroll up a bit here, you can see another view on it where it shows whether the image is external or internal, and it is telling me a lot of different elements like the URL, the domain, the title and so on. So this is just a lot of information that you can use to really make sure that all of your content and images are working correct, and is optimised for a technical aspect. Here I’m basically on a report for my entire page here, and you can see all of the different elements we went through.

They are laying in here all the keywords, all of the headings, all of the links and so on.

So this is one long report about your page. To see what you can optimise from a technical aspect. I will now move on to Google PageSpeed and this is similar to running a Google PageSpeed. They’re just running it in and showing it in their design. Here we can see that I have a PageSpeed on 92 and a load time on 0.8 which is good, according to Screpy.

I have a good page size and my first contentful paint is loading in 0.8 seconds which is good. Other than that we can see some information down here about our pages. Here my CookieYes article is scoring 99 out of 100, which is really great. When it is that you run a Google PageSpeed, you can choose whether it should be for desktop or for mobile and the same goes for Screpy. If I press mobile up here I will get the report for my website on mobile and here I can see that I have an 84% score because of my first contentful paint is loading too slow.

So on mobile I need to really compress my image to be able to score a higher score. Other than that it is small tweaks to be able to get a higher score. But now let’s move on to the SERP, in the SERP here I have added four keywords and what I can see is that I can see what number do I rank? What page ranks for this keyword? If I do even rank.

If I want to see more information about the keyword and how I’m ranking, I can click on the arrow out here, and then you can see that I’m number three right here. Other than that there are two reviews over me. If I wanted to get a higher ranking, I could go in and see what they do different from me and then get inspired by it. But here we can just see my current position. What my best position has been on the keyword and it is showing me the top 33 right here.

That is very simple and that is for all of your keywords. Again, remember there is both mobile and desktop. A lot of these modules can be for both desktop and mobile so you can see for desktop. I’m actually number seven.

So my website is working better on mobile than my competitors, than they are working on desktop. Moving on to the SEO here. Here you can see again which I’ve shown you in the beginning of the video. I have an SEO score of 73 and that is because of my sitemap is missing, which is incorrect.

My content ratio is a bit down on one page, that is probably my front page. If I click here I can see that it is my front page. That’s because my front page doesn’t have a lot of text. Other than that it is basically the same.

I have the issues I can go through to get a higher score. Now the Uptime monitoring, which is the last module I want to show you. This one is a great tool for you to relax a bit because this one will always tell you if something is wrong. If your website goes down, this one will immediately tell you that your website is down and you will get an email from Screpy telling you that your website is down and need to do something immediately about it. Other than that, you can see in a history span.

How has it been? Has it always been up? Has there been some times when it’s been down and so on, I would like to be able to choose a date range in here, but I can only see for the last 2 hours right now and what it is doing is that it is checking my website and not only checking my website but also checking how fast it’s loading. So let’s say that I have an average loading time on 1.4, but all of a sudden it takes 3 seconds to load my website.

Then something is wrong and then I can see in her that something is wrong and I need to do something about it. Now in the last module, which is not really a module, but it’s just to show you.

In the settings we have some different elements. We can enable auto analysis, which means that all of your pages will be analysed once in a while. So if you’re doing a lot of changes, you can just enable this one and then Screpy will check for you once or twice weekly to see whether your fixes are done or not. But you can also do this manually by analysing your pages up in the URL up here, or if you are on the specific module, you can also do it in there.

Here we also have the crawler some information about that and we can also again enable auto crawls, so it crawls periodically. This means that if you’re adding new articles, then you don’t have to really go into Screpy and add the article and say I wrote a new article. Please add this to Screpy. Screpy will automatically add that. The last two menu points down here is SERP, it will automatically track your Google ranking.

And for uptime here we can enable Uptime monitoring and the notifications that I just talked about. Now the last thing I want to show you is the page overview. This is just to show you fast, in here it will show you all of the pages that Screpy has crawled for you. And then for each of these pages, you can get a report as we saw before, where it is showing us a ton of data and different data points that we can really optimise on. This does take a little bit of time, do be patient.

Now here is the report for Acadle, another product I reviewed. I have this review on my website and here we can see information about connection. This is very technical, canonical. We can see what language its using. Here we can see that my title is actually one character too long from what Screpy is recommending to have a healthy title, which is not too long for Google because then we get those three dots and that’s a negative thing. Other than that we can see our content ratio.

We can see our meta tags, our open graph, which is the data when we share it on social media, we can see our link tags and so much more about this page. As you can see here again, the keywords, Acadle is the keyword I focused on. So that’s great. But here you can see so much information about your specific pages that it is that you analyse. So that is just a great report to have for you to see what you need to optimise on your specific page.

Screpy pricing

Moving on to the pricing structure of Screpy. It consists of four plans, and they do also have an agency plan if you do need it for your agency. It is a very cheap alternative to the competitors by far, but do be aware that Screpy is still a new product in the development phase. However, when we do take a look at the pricing structure, it does differ in a lot of elements. So be sure that you choose the right plan for you because often what we see in the industry is that it only differs on the amount of keywords and how often you want the system to track those keywords because that’s where they really need to use their server power.

But within Screpy they differ on a lot of different modules, features and so on. So be sure that you end up with the right plan.

Alternatives to Screpy

Now, moving on to the competitors to Screpy. It is SEranking and SEMrush, and as I just mentioned, Screpy is still a new product in the development phase. So, when we look at SEranking and SEMrush, they have a lot more functionality and huge data sets that they run on when it is, they need to check rankings and so on.

So if you need a tool that has all of the functionality now, do not go with Screpy. However, if you need AI modules and you can wait for the more competitor analysis modules, then I would highly recommend you going with Screpy because the design is great and the way they utilise AI is really working well for them. And with the roadmap coming up, which I will talk about in the moment, it is very exciting to see where Screpy will go in the future and talking about the future.

Encharge

Encharge is an alternative to Vbout. Encharge has more extensive integrations which opens up even more options for your to automate your email marketing.

watch review of encharge

Future of Screpy

They are working on an integration into Google Search console and into Google Analytics. So all the data that we have there, we can really utilise within Screpy.

For instance, if we have some pages with a high bounce rate within Screpy, they could give us some tips and tricks to how we could and make the page better to lower our bounce rate. And that is just one example. Of course, with Google Search Console, they can double-check their rankings to see whether they are correct enough. Then they are also working on a backlinks monitoring module, so we can see where all of our backlinks are coming from and really utilise those backlinks to make sure that maybe we can get more backlinks or we, at least, can get some ideas of what type of content do the different types of people like out there?

And then the most exciting element is the competitor analysis module. Via this module, we can see what is working for our competitors, and then we can basically copy and paste it, of course, into our own language.

But if it is working for our competitors, it will most likely also work for you. So that is a very exciting module that I am very excited to see and how they’re really going to build it into Screpy because there is a lot of functionality and talking about functionality. I would like to see more improvements in the workflow and that is also a focus for them when we do look at their roadmap because we often see a lot of different numbers and text, and it looks great.

But when you get a number without any text, then you are pretty lost because you don’t know what the number means. You don’t know if it’s good that it’s high or if it’s good that it’s low.

So some more described text or some tool tips would really help us out to understand Screpy even more and really utilise the tool to make sure that we do everything we can to improve our technical SEO from the standpoint of Screpy.

Pros & Cons using Screpy

Now, moving on to the pros and cons of Screpy. Starting with the pros, they have a beautiful and easy to use design. They have extensive analysis of your website, and they have an exciting roadmap, whereas for the cons, some modules are loading too slow, I’m missing explanations of the different numbers, and some tasks are incorrect.

For example, the sitemap task that you just saw on the walk through.

My experience using Screpy

But using Screpy, I’m always sure that my website from the SEO technical aspect is running smoothly and perfectly. And with the uptime monitoring and all the other features and modules within Screpy, I will always be sure that my website is optimised to the highest standard possibly. Because when I have this standpoint, then my content will rank even higher. But yea, that is my review of Screpy.

I hope that you liked the video, and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Screpy or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment below Thank you so much for watching, let’s catch up on the next one.

Are you looking for a platform to increase your email marketing?

So without further ado Let’s dive into Vbout and let me show you the platform.

We are now inside the platform of Vbout where we have our sample dashboard, as you can see here. We can build the dashboard to exactly how we want it to be. Over here, you can see that we can add new widgets, so we really only show what’s important for me and not for everyone else in the platform.

Features of Vbout

For this sample dashboard we have the getting started. We have some contact information how our landing pages are performing the automations I have recently set up and our leads funnel down here, if we do set that up. So the dashboard you really customise to your need to really look like you wanted to and you need it to. Over here in the menu, we have our email section here. This is where we set up campaigns.

You can see we have email templates and a file manager up here. In the email templates, they have added a sample email template. Often you will just use the same because your emails needs to have the same feel and look. But just to show you for the sake of this video, I will create a new template and they have recently just build an entire new builder where we can drag and drop the different elements to build out our email exactly as we saw it from Encharge. So in the builder here you can see that we can basically drag and drop these different elements as we would like them to be.

But here you build out your email template that you can use to send out emails, whether it’s a newsletter or it’s a specific type of email to a specific audience. Over here we have templates predesigned blocks where we can add a header, intro, call to actions and a lot more different elements, and you basically just click and then you drag the element that you want. So here I just dragged in something about Valentine and this is how easy it is to build out your email. When you’re done, we just press save and exit.

We now have our template ready. Going back to the campaigns here, I will just show you the sample campaign.

Here we can set up a lot of different elements so we can choose whether it should be A/B campaign. So we test different types of emails if it should be just a regular campaign. How the process should be, if it should be a normal sending or it should be a chunk sending, really depends on your needs and what you want. Then we can add some subject lines, a pre header, of course, the standard elements. And when we are pretty satisfied, we can go to the next step where it is that we choose our list we want to send his campaign to.

I only have one list sell. I choose that. And then we can see the design of the template. If we do want to edit it, we can do that here.

We can also edit as text version. We can also see how it looks in the inbox here you can see we get a lot of different options. I’ll just choose Apple Mail and then send requests. Then you can see here how it looks within Apple Mail 14 and we can change between desktop, mobile and web. And this is a great way to really make sure that your email looks great on all different types of mail templates, mail campaigns and mail software of course.

Now, when we’re satisfied with this, I will press next and we are now in our summary where it is that we need to confirm that everything is correct. And if there are elements missing or stuff, you will change. You can always press the edit button and then you will edit it right away. And then when you are satisfied, you just press send now and your camping will now be sent out.

It is very simple. The next element in the menu is automations. Here it gets very interesting because automations is not only elements that will save you time, but it will also create a personalised experience for your users, your subscribers, and your visitors. So in this sample, automation in here just to show you how that automation is set up, it is like we’ve seen it in Encharge and in Active Campaign.

We have what’s called triggers and what’s called actions. So a trigger is something that is triggering this entire automation and action is what needs to happen with this user or this subscriber as soon as the trigger is done. Here, you can see that as soon as a person has joined the sample list, we need to wait 1 minute and then we need to send out an email. This is a very simple welcome email you can do, so you can say every time they sign up for a newsletter or specific ebook.

Then after a minute or so then you send the e-book to them or you send a welcome message, something like thank you for signing up for the newsletter. You can expect to receive two emails per week or one per week or whatever your programme is looking like. But here you can really save time, so you don’t have to manually send out emails or manually make sure that all e-books are sent out correctly. It is very simple to set up.

You can see over here we have some triggers for whether they open the email. If they click the link. These two are very valuable because you can say that if they open the email but didn’t click the link that you can send a follow up email. Saying, we can see you opened the email, but you didn’t click. Why is that?

You can still get the offer here. If it was an offer you sent out. And again for the user here we have the join, where it is that they join a specific list. As you can see also in the automation here, then we have to reach goal.

Where it is that they need to reach a certain goal. Then they will get a certain email. Then we have a custom event here and then we have some different other elements also here. In the actions is where when it is we see more integrations within Vbout, this actions list will really build out. But here we can send emails and text messages.

We can add them to another list. We can give them a browser push notification and a lot more as you can see here. And it is as easy as just dragging and dropping over here. And then of course, you need to make the connection between the different elements to make sure that it actually happens. And when you then click on the element, then you can change the different settings within the element. Here you can see that I want to remove them from the list.

Of course this doesn’t make sense, but it’s just to show you. So here you can see that it will join the list, we’ll send an email and then we will remove it from the list again. This could be if it was just a temporary list that we needed to see if they had received the email or not, then they have a social element. And this is not something we necessarily see in other types of email marketing. I haven’t seen it an Active Campaign or in Encharge, but here and as I’m going to talk about a little bit later, we will also see Instagram later, but here we can connect our profiles from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest and also Instagram to schedule our posting.

I would say that I have a bit mixed feelings about this because Vbout is about email marketing. And of course it is great to have extra functionality, but I’m always on the point where it is that I rather want that they focus on creating the best email marketing platform that they possibly can, instead of adding a lot of functionality that feels like it’s becoming an all in one tool. I would rather see this social media module in another tool. It’s fair enough that they also build that tool, but really narrow in and just build the best email marketing tool that you possibly can.

And then what you can do is that you can push out information post on your different types of social media profiles for people to stay up to date.

So now it’s not only emails, it’s also text messages, and it is social posting just to show you fast. Of course, you can also get an overview of all of your subscribers or your contacts here. What lists their attached to and what information you have on them. And then you can see activities which is kind of their journey they have been through on your email marketing platform. It would be great if I could do like I do in Encharge where I could integrate Vbout with my website so I could see what they did on my website before they signed up for the newsletter that is very great from within Encharge.

Now one exciting element here is landing pages, and that’s because landing pages is a great tool to gather leads for your company. And here you can easily build out a landing page, even with pop ups to gather leads. So let’s say that you want to gather leads for a certain email listing. Then you can fast create a landing page, add a pop up and then offer an ebook for them to enter their email. And when it is you can do it within Vbout and you can do it so fast.

You can test out so many different types of landing pages of your target group to really narrow in and see what works best. Maybe pop ups doesn’t work for your target group, then go with inline forms. And if inline form doesn’t work, then maybe pop ups is working. But here you can see one landing page within Vbout. I’m now going in to the landing page and here we have some page settings.

Let’s not take a look at that now, but here we can choose either to design the entire landing page from scratch, that will of course take time. Or we can choose a template, in the template here you can see they have a lot of great templates. I will take this one right here and I’ll just drag it in just as we saw before in the email templates that we were building. And now I have an entire landing page.

All I need to do is that I need to change the logo. I need to change the text, the image here and then, of course, the form over here. If I want to make it more simple, maybe I just want the email because it’s for a newsletter or I just want the name and email. Then I just go in and delete the other fields that I do not need. But it is really great to see how simple it is to work with landing pages within Vbout.

I’m satisfied with this one for now, so I’ll just save and confirm and now we can choose to either shared on social media. So let’s say that I had integrated my LinkedIn profile or my Instagram profile. I could then directly share the landing page on my social media. But I’ll just for now go back to landing pages and then close it here.

And if we want to see our landing page, we have it right here. Now the last module within Vbout is Pipeline Manager. In here you can create a task board for your company or if of course, you’re just an individual. This is very simple. And this is again a little bit back to that you can have a task management tool, and here they are trying to building in a little bit into Vbout.

But we really need to be careful about this because this requires time to maintain and develop if they get request of extra elements they want, because this task tool is very simple. I can see that we can add a task board name. We can add colours to the different states, and of course, what the completed should be. So that is very simple. I’ll just create a board for you to see how it will look like.

So I’ve now created the board and you can see I’m adding a task here and for each task, there are some different elements, there is who is the assigne? What state is this task in? What board is it on? What Q is it in, if there is a deadline on it, what the duration is and so on. And I can also add contacts to the specific task.

Of course, this is great. If you want to just keep everything within one tool, then you can use Vbout to run your task and you can use Vbout to share on social media. But using a tool for these elements, if I take ClickUp for instance, for the task management, and I take Radaar for my social media presence, then I’ll just get so much more extensive functionality that I can use to really higher up my presence on the social media. And of course, running my task in a more sufficient way.

So it is great to see that they have it. Whether it’s useful or not, is up to you.

Vbout pricing

Moving on to the pricing structure of Vbout. You can get started completely free with a 14 day trial, and it is so important that you take this 14 day trial to really test out the product because you can really customise your plan after, especially your need, because you can customise the modules you want to pay for and the amount of email you sent out. So with this customization, it is so important that you’re 100% sure that you have taken the right choice before it is that you start paying for this product.

Something that I’ve really seen in the industry of email marketing tools is that it is so different from tool to tool, how they price themselves. So it is so difficult to really compare them on the pricing. So really go with the tool that is intuitive and easy to use for you.

Alternatives to Vbout

Now moving on to the competitors to leap out. It is Encharge, which I’ve already reviewed and then it is Active Campaign. Encharge does not have the Landing Page module, which Vbout has. But if we look away from that, I would say that Encharge design definitely beats Vbout’s design.

It is so easy to see that Vbout, their biggest focus is not on the design. I’m not saying that design is terrible. I’m just saying that when you look at Encharge and compared to Vbout, I do like to design more Encharge, however, the functionality. If we really deep dive into it, then via Encharge and Active Campaign because they do have more integrations, you can do a lot more, whereas Vbout doesn’t have those integrations yet. So when you do your automations, as you just saw in the walk through, it is very limited about your triggers and your actions within the tool. So this is definitely a place they need to work on.

Encharge

Encharge is an alternative to Vbout. Encharge has more extensive integrations which opens up even more options for your to automate your email marketing.

watch review of encharge

Future of Vbout

Now moving on to the future of Vbout. They have a great road map, as you can see here. They are focused a lot on integrations. That is a high, high focus for them, and that is so great to see, because the more integrations we see within an email marketing tool, the more useful it becomes to us. So what we’ll see in the near future is integrations to CRm Systems and to Insight Systems, so we can really utilise all of the data.

Furthermore, they are also working on an integration to Instagram so we can auto schedule all of our posts. They are also working on an RSS feed integration, which means that every time that your RSS feed is updated in a certain way, then Vbout will automatically shoot out an email for you. It can be that every time you create an article on your WordPress website, thenVb out needs to tell everyone about it and then this can be done completely automatic when it is that this feature has been released.

The last element that I noticed which was intriguing to me is that they’re working on a email tool that will help you send out the emails at the right time. So let’s say that you start out sending out emails at different times.

What Vbout will do is they will measure the openings and the click tracking within the emails. And based on all of that data, tell you for your target group. When is the best time to send out this email. It can also be that the email needs to be sent in the time zone of the receiver. There’s a lot of options in here, so it’s really interesting to see how they are going to implement this feature.

Use cases of Vbout

Now I want to share three use cases with you. The first use case being a SaaS company. So if you have a platform, let’s say a project management tool. The way that you can use Vbout is especially to higher the engagement of your users to really use your software. It can be for them to start creating projects if it is the project management tool.

It can be that they need to work more with tasks or you want to highlight especially focus on a certain module within your tool. It can also be that you have built an entire new module and you want to focus on that. And what is so interesting within Vbout is that you can differentiate your different users into categories. So if you build a module that’s not necessarily for all users, you can just highlight it for some users and then really create some value for them.

Another use case is for email marketeers, usually what they do is that they live on their newsletter and creating leads. Via Vbout they can easily create landing pages very fast, and then they can test out their ideas. They can build a landing page, send a ton of traffic, and then see if they create the leads that they do need, and when they have the lead within Vbout, then they can start to process them and work with them and see if they can convert them into whatever they need to convert them to. Let’s say that your is digital marketing Bureau and you have a lot of leads, then you can really use Vbout to process all of these leads to maybe become your customers.

You can, of course, use Vbout to send different types of tips and tricks to all of your visitors and all of your newsletter subscribers.

And you can also then divide them into different categories after how many months they have been part of your newsletter, and based on that and how many times they click in your emails and so on, then you will know approximately how close this lead is to become an actual customer because you can use the lead scoring system.

Pros & Cons using Vbout

Moving on to the pros and cons of Vbout, starting with the pros, their landing page module is extensive, and their email automation works great. Whereas for the cons, the design is outdated, the pricing structure has too many elements for me, and they’re missing a lot of integrations for their tool to really be helpful, and they’re missing actions for us to really utilise the automations.

My experience using Vbout

Using Vbout, you can easily send out emails whether you’re a SaaS company, a digital marketing, or even just a freelancer or an email marketeer.

Here the options within Vbout, day by day increases and it’s great to see that they keep improving the tool. And with all of the integrations coming in near future, Vbout would really be an interesting tool to invest in. So if you’re looking for a tool that doesn’t cost as much as the competitors and you can wait for the features then Vbout is definitely for you. Overall I will give Vbout three and a half stars. I do need to see more integrations and a better design for them to score higher.

But here that is my review of Vbout. I hope that you liked the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Vbout or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

I have something very interesting today. Building courses is an opportunity for many companies and individuals to create an info product. The foundation for you creating your info product is so important and that is why today’s product showcase is Acadle, an intuitive platform to build out an entire course and a lot more. So without further Ado, let’s just dive into Acadle and let me show you.

Moving into the platform of Acadle, this is our dashboard where everything begins. We have our menu up here where we have different options, on the dashboard we’ll just get an overview of the people who have been through our course and what they have done, the rating and so on.

Features of Acadle

But without further Ado, I will just go straight to the courses menu here. In here you will have an overview of all of your courses, whether they’re in progress or you already set them up and they’re live running. For each of these courses there are a lot of settings which I will show you just in a moment. Over here in the users tab, we can see all of the users who are registered on your Acadle account. This is not necessarily admin users.

This could be course participants, students, and so on. This is just to get you an overview, and you can see different elements and different information about them. You can do user groups, you can check out their course progress and you can, of course, deactivate them if they have done something you didn’t like or they’re just not paying anymore, this, of course does also happen automatically. Last but not least you can remove them completely. In the settings menu here we have some extra elements and this is our design part, so to speak, for our login page, the design, pixels and so on. In here we can completely customise the login page to exactly how we want it to look like, from everywhere, changing the logo to the overall design.

Let’s say you just want the form in the middle of the screen.

Then you change to this design and you can change the button colour, the text colour and the background colour to really match your style. Furthermore, you can also add a description down here where you can write in something that is describing your course or at least your Academy of courses. The last element down here is that you can restrict whether you want people to register or not. And then you can also add additional form elements like phone number, designation, city, and so on. Now the design part over here is the overall design of your course. In here you can change the font size, the font colour for the different elements for the course progress status, for the start, resume, open, notified joined buttons, and so on.

Furthermore, over here in the menu we have the different elements that you can change. And of course you can also change the font so you can really narrow it in, so it looks like it’s your website.They’re still on, even though it’s a different URL. You can also add pixels if you would like to track anything. There is also an SEO element where you can add keywords, which is a bit irrelevant.

You can add a meta description, add a thumbnail and a favicon. This is just for your Academy to look well, if it is that someone shares it on social media, it doesn’t have so much to do with SEO. You can also use a CNAME, which means that you can make a subdomain on your website. Let’s call it academy.phillipstemann.com, then I can add Acadle in there and it will look like it is my own website.

You can also give certificates, so let’s say that a student is done with a specific course, then they will receive a certificate and last but not least they do also have a gamification element where you can give points. You can give batches, levels and the settings for here is whether you want to enable the different elements. Now before we jump into the course editor and how you set up a course. I just want to show you the admin area. In here you can add team members who can help you set up and manage courses and of course, optimise and maintain them.

They do also have API, if you want to integrate completely with Acadle. Then they have web hooks. They have widgets here, which means that you can embed a widget on your web application. If you have like a small survey you want someone to answer, then they have single sign on. They have SMTP to send out emails.

You can give coupons as a discount, and that’s because which I’ll show you in a moment you can integrate with Stripe to monetise your courses. Over here in integrations, they have a lot of great integrations and they are currently adding more integrations they have with Intercom Encharge and so on, which means that you can add an email there around your courses. Then they do also have different languages that you can set up. And here in the pricing is where you price your course or your Academy.

Here you can create plans and you can integrate with Stripe. So a plan could be that they only get access to a certain amount of courses and that will cost a certain amount.

Here you make the groups right here. Then they also have a community tab and configurations at last. And this is where you add stuff like Privacy policy, terms of service, pricing settings, coupon settings, and so on. You can also hide Academy built with Acadle to really whitelabel your solution. Now let’s jump in and set up a course for you to see the workflow.

To get started with a course it is very simple. You just need to enter a course name. Give a short course description and a course duration. For now we’ll just call this one YouTube video and I have entered a description.

Be aware that this description is very short. You cannot write a lot of text here. I would like to see that I could write a little bit more or just somewhere that I could write a more text describing the overall course, but for now this is fine. The option you have is that you can upload an image.

If you do not, then Acadle will just choose an image for you. Who should have access to this course as we just saw before via the Stripe element. Then we can really restrict here to say that only people on the premium plan should have access to this course. We can also hide duration. We can enable a free flow and we can say that this course should be enabled in X amount of days. Let’s say you want to set out the course as a teaser for people to get into the course.

Then you can do this and say it should be unlocked in seven days, for instance. You can also say that this course locks in a certain amount of days. Let’s say that the course has been out for 10, 15 months, something like that. And you want this course to come to an end because you have built a new course, then you can lock it in in a certain amount of days and people will still get the notification that if you need this course then you really need to move on it now.

You can also show a lock time here to really highlighted for your students. Then you can choose whether it should be highlighted as a new course, a featured or none at all. And then you can add tags, which is great for search, if you do have a lot of courses. For now, I’ll just keep it as it is and I’ll create the course. Here we are inside the course called YouTube Video and down here is where we add our lessons.

We can also create quizzes and a group. Let’s say that you have a group of lessons you want to group together because they have something to do with each other. Then create a group and then create the lessons within the group. It is very simple. I will just create a lesson right now, and I will call this one lesson one.

Here you can choose whether this one should be available right away or it should be unlocked in a certain amount of days. For now. I’ll just say that it should be available right away and I’ll press save. Now, in here is where we build out our course.

We have our lesson, lesson one here, and then we can add different elements. In the plus sign out here, we can choose whether it should be text, it should be a heading or if you want to add a video or an image. This is also possible within the editor. You can also add code and a lot more. I would say that the limitations are not found right here.

It is really great to see so many options. If you do want text, you can also just start writing. I will now press save for this lesson, and it’s very important that you always press save. Otherwise you will lose your changes. Now I think I will add a quiz to this element right here.

We will call this quiz something simple. The quiz is now created, and I will now create a question within the quiz. Here when I did test it out, I always wrote my question here, but this is just the order. I would like to see a drag and drop instead because it works better from a UX perspective. But I just write one here because this is the first question.

And then how many lessons does this course have. Down here we give the answers and then of course we need to choose the right answer, which is one. And that’s why we have our little checkmark right here. Over here we can say whether this question should give a score. Let’s say it should be, you get 40 points if you get this one right. And then I’ll add another question, do be aware here that if I change the settings or to results without saving my changes, I will lose my changes.

So remember to press save here. Now it’s asking me for a score, down here just to show you. I will say I will say two and then I’ll say question two, then I’ll press settings, go back to questions and then you can see my question is gone. So just be aware of this. I now have two questions set up in my quiz.

So I have a lesson up here, and I have a quiz right here after the lesson. If you do want to do a group of lessons, it’s very easy. We can call this one group one and then in here we can set up lessons right now. It’s just added the untitled. We can say group lesson one right here and then that is part of the group.

Then of course we can add more lessons within the group. Now everything we’ve done within our course here is actually just a draft. Over here you can see we have our publish button for each lesson individually, so you need to remember to publish them before your students or your visitors and readers can see them. But now it is done my course, and I’ll now show you how it looks from a student perspective. So when I come in as a student, you can see we have two courses here.

The first one I have already completed 75%, and it’s estimated to take 8 hours and 20 minutes. Now in the second one, which is the one we just set up. I will go into this course for you to see how it looks like. So you can see it looks exactly like it did in the back end, just with some minor changes. Instead of us setting up new lessons, we can down here, go back to the courses. Other than that, we can press next lesson here, and then we come to our quiz which is set a duration of 1 minute.

We’ll press start and see the different questions here. I’ll just press A for this one which is correct, and then I’ll Press B this one which is incorrect. Now here I get my score. And what I’m really missing here is to see what questions did I get right and what questions did I get wrong so I can improve in the future. Right now I just get my score and I have no idea what questions were correct or not. Because as a student, I don’t know how many points the different questions give.

So an improvement I would like to see is that I could get an overview of the different questions with my answers showing whether it was correct or not. Now the next lesson here is our group lesson one. This is just a simple, and it looks exactly like lesson one. It would be great if I could enter some description into group One to give an introduction to this group telling what it is about, and if it’s even for me otherwise, of course I could skip it, but that’s it.

I can now press finish, and I’m now done with the course.

I can then rate the course and that’s great for the admin of the course to see whether they should improve or not. It would also be great if I could enter some feedback saying the different questions were maybe too tough, or I didn’t get enough information about a certain subject, so I can either build that into the course, or I can build an entire new course on that subject.

Acadle pricing

Moving on to the pricing structure of Acadle. It consists of three plans and it is so important that you look very thoroughly through these three plans, because they differ a lot on the functionality. So depending on your need, you really need to choose the right plan. You can, of course, test it out completely free for seven days.

Alternatives to Acadle

Now, moving on to the competitors of Acadle.

As I see it, it is Talent LMS and SAP Litmos. The way I see Acadle being a bit better than those, is definitely on the design side. Of course, Talent LMS does also have a great design, but I still feel that Acadle still wins that part, especially when it is you build out your course. And when we talk about Acadle, their agility and everything around Acadle is just so great to work with, and they have so many possibilities that we do also see in Talent LMS and SAP Litmos.

So it really depends on your need for me design this very important, which is why I will always go with Acadle.

Future of Acadle

Moving on to the future of Acadle, it looks very exciting. They have a full roadmap of a lot of functionality. For instance, they’re working on extensive functionality so we can really utilise the way we build our courses from everywhere, where we can upload multiple files via a folder to we get a more notification system with more features and so much more usability within all of this, and especially the editor. When it is we build out the course will be even more extensive in the future. We will also see more integrations.

For instance. Now they have a lot of integrations and especially one integration that I like is to Emcharge. But this integration can be even taken further and it can be taken further by, we can send out emails when a user are in specific states of the course, so let’s say that they are stuck in a specific place in the course. We can send an encouraging email telling them:

Hey, you need to continue now because otherwise you will lose this course sooner or later. They are also working on more integrations to different platforms. For instance, Paddle right now they are integrated with Stripe so you can take payment for your courses. But integrating with Paddle with just expand the features and the functionality within. Now the last thing I want to highlight is that they’re working on adding a blog module.

This clearly shows the direction that they are going. I would really love to see that I could take Acadle and integrate on my website, but by them making a blog module on Acadle and within the entire environment just shows that they are not going to work on being able to integrate your course on your website, at least not for now because they are building all the modules you need within the platform.

Pros & Cons using Acadle

Moving on to the pros and cons of Acadle. Starting with the pros, the design is up to date.

They are very agile down to every detail.

You can manage multiple courses within one software, and they have a lot of great integrations. Whereas for the cons you can’t integrate it with WordPress, which loses you SEO value, and they do still have some bugs they need to sort out.

My Experience using Acadle

Using Acadle, I can easily build out courses and monetise them. This is an easy way for you to create an info product and via an info product. You can really earn an extra amount of money for your company or if you’re just an individual.

I really do like that Acadle doesn’t have any limitations and it is so agile. Overall I will give Acadle four and a half stars. I’m extremely amazed by the functionality, the agility and the overall design.

But yea that is my review of Acadle. I hope that you like the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Acadle or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below.

Features of NeuroFlash

Moving on to NeuroFlash within their dashboard. This is the first view where we have four different modules we can use. Of course we cannot use the long form copy at the moment. It is coming very soon and then we have a video guide down here. Other than that, we can create and compare where we can generate unique marketing text or we can compare Wording.

Then we can predict performance on a marketing campaign and we can explore where we can find the best associations to activate the desired ideas and drive trends within your category. So let’s just jump right in and let’s try and generate some content over here. As you do see here, it is working with tab functionality. It is the same we saw in BiQ.Cloud. They also works within tabs, so if you do already use BiQ.Cloud, this will be easy for you to start using.

However, I have not been using BiQ.Cloud that much lately, so it took some time for me to get used to this tab system. But now in here we can either choose past work or we can set up a new campaign. And what’s important here to notice is that if you do not choose a country with English language, you cannot generate content. Just bear in mind. So for instance if I choose Malaysia, then I can only name my project right here and then I can press start.

What I can then do is I can compare wordings so I can add words here which I’ll show you just in a moment to see what words are easiest to read, what will work best and so on. But I want to first generate some content for you guys to see it. So we’ll just generate some content by creating a project called YouTube here, I will choose US, the target audience, English General. The segment, I can only choose one these it could actually choose for me. I didn’t have to spend my time choosing that.

But now you can see we can generate content here, and we can either generate headlines, Facebook Ads text, or we can choose other. And over here we have our Facebook link description, Facebook Headlines, Google Ads, CTA buttons, some blog modules, slogans and some product modules down here. But to begin with, we’ll just do some headlines. Here we need to give a brief of what we need headlines for, and I’ll just use the example I always use, which is a project management tool.

So have now given a brief saying Panta.ai is a project management tool which you can use to stay on top of all of your projects at once. Utilising AI Panta.ai will take care of the manual work for you. And then I’ve added two keywords down here where it says Project management tool and AI tool we’ll now press start to see what it will generate for us. And you can see here again.

We have the headlines up here where it is so we can compare wordings, and then we have the generated headlines down in the bottom that we can choose whether we want to compare or not. But out here we can say whether it should be deleted, whether we want more of this. Let’s say we like this specific headline, but we want more similar headlines to this one, it’s possible by clicking here, and it will then generate even more headlines for us, similar to the headline that we just pressed on.

If we do like a headline, we can always press the plus here.

But for instance, let’s say you can use AI to help you finish projects on time. That sounds like a good headline, I will add that. How AI can help you finish on time. Also a good one. This one is a little bit redundant, so I’ll delete that one.

This one is very good. How this AI project manager is going to change the way you work. That sounds very intriguing. Let’s add that as well. So now you can see we have three heading up here.

And of course, all of these headings has word. So these squares you see here with green. If we click on it, we can see the specific word is easy in the score, and then we can see synonyms for if we do want to change it. Project is exactly what I need, but for instance, the finish one here, we can maybe change to something else, but for now I’ll just keep it. But here you can see we have our different types of headlines here.

We can sort them by score, but all of them are scoring 100 right now. If we do want to change our brief, we just do it right up here. Then we press save and it will generate some new headings. We can also change our goals here to say that we want this generation to be easy to read. We want it to have a happy sentiment and a calm sentiment at the same time.

And if we do want an implicit message, we can also add that here. But other than that, I’ll just be save for now. And then you can see it changed a little bit the way that it’s sorted. Furthermore, over here we can choose whether we want a bar chart or not. Here we can just see whether it’s happy, exciting, how the different things are.

And this is our headings right now. So the first heating is scoring the best. That was also the heading, I found the most intriguing. If you do like to work with dimensions, that is also possible down here where we can add different types of dimensions here, you do need to create them first, of course, but that is overall how you generate content.

Now let’s try and add a new tab here because now I want to do a blog introduction. That is what I’ve done in all of my AI reviews. Do be aware however, if you do change between the tabs without saving, you will lose all of your data. But now I have entered my brief here.

Same keywords, same brief as before. I’ve just chosen blog introduction instead. And then I’ll press start, and we do now have some blog introductions. They are very short, I would like to see them much longer, but of course we can combine them.

Reading through these introductions they are okay. The last one I would just delete because that doesn’t make any sense. However, this one you have just launched your first project management tool, then you will probably interested in how you can generate traffic. That’s not relevant either, I want to write about a project management tool which is utilising AI to help people do better in their project management, which is why the first one and second one here they’re just great.

So I’ll add these two. Also, to get an idea of how they are scoring, you can see both of them are scoring easy, 100% and 99%. So that’s just great. Again, in the goal section, I’ll go in and choose happy and calm and just save for now, and then you can see it changed a lot for instance the second one here, is a lot more happy than the first one is here where the first one is very exciting.

So they’re very similar in this sense. And I think it’s just a great way to get an idea of how the sentences are and how they’re working. Of course we can read them and then choose based on what we feel. But here it is actually data telling us which one is exciting and which one is happy because we all find different elements exciting of course. It would be cool if we could add our target a group because what’s exciting for our target group is not necessarily exciting for other types of target groups, but that’s just a little add-on that we can hope maybe we’ll see in the future.

Now moving on over here into the next menu point is our marketing campaigns to see whether it will perform or not. This is a prediction module that we can use in order to see the email for instance, in this case, we want to send out. Is a good? Will it perform? Let’s see.

I have now filled out campaign name, segment, the body text of my email and keyword, so for the segment language we can only choose either German or English just for you to know. I’ll now move on to the next one here where we’ll show me some different subject lines that I can use. So for instance, there is an interesting new project management tool that sounds great.

Panta.ai, your assistant in project management also very good. Finally, the perfect solution to your project management problems also sounds intriguing. This one is giving it away a little bit too much and then there’s more down here. But this is a very good result based on my inputs. So I’ll just choose these here.

And then of course we can add more if we do want to, but I’ll just press next for now. And now you can see that we get some different types of scores. We get, there is an interesting new project management tool, flash score 95. Panta.ai, your assistant in project management 94, and the same with the last one. So this is a very good flash scores. Of course, 100 is the highest.

But now let’s press save, and then we’ll see. So it is now created, and this was ideas in order for you to generate your campaign to see what could be good to perform. And they do ask here for feedback for you to say, for instance, within Encharge, which is the programme I use, you can A/B test so we could A/B test, the different subject lines that we just saw here. And then we could give back to the AI here telling that this type of subject was converting a lot more than this type of subject.

But it is a bit dangerous if you do ask me because it’s different from target group to target group, so it should be a little bit more specific than that hopefully. We can of course create more if we do want to, then we just start over. But now moving on to the next element here. This is where we explore. Again, I’ll choose an english speaking country, I’ll just choose US and then we’ll press next right here.

And then I’ll choose easy in complexity and then happy and calm at the same time. For SEO, I want to see the average CPC and the search volume, and then I can add some words here. It could be project management tool again. So now we have our set up here and in here which you will see just in a moment. I do miss a lot of data because often when I enter words in here, it does not have data for that specific word. But this is basically similar to a keyword research and you will see why in a moment.

So I have now chosen two words gardener and plant, and for each of these we can see a lot of synonym words or words that has something to do with the specific word we have chosen. And then for each word we can see what the goal is and the goal represents the overall rating of the words based on their requirements we did set, you remember, we set the happy and the calm. Then we have the association strength which you can see here, it indicates how closely associated the words are with the search term.

Then we have the complexity, how easy it is to read, how happy the word is and how calm the word is. You can of course add more if you want to, but overall, this is all the words we have here. I did add the search volume and average CPC, but it is not showing here, but over here we can see it on a graph and we can of course see how happy the word is. The greener it is, the more happy it is. And of course the more red is, the more the opposite of happy it is, not sad, but calm maybe.

I would like to see more data in here, for instance, if I go up and I write Project, then you can see that it becomes red and that’s because they do not have any data on this word. So as soon as the word gets a little bit specific, this tool becomes useless for me unfortunately, and often when we do work with SEO we want to be specific. We want to go for the long tail keywords, and if I cannot use the tool for that it becomes a little bit useless for me.

But of course I can still see the daily words that I use within the article that focuses on a niche keyword, whether they are happy, if they are complex to read, what their association strength is, and so much more because we do still have the secondary keywords of course. Now the last module I want to show you how here is actually their long form content or the soon to be long form content, because what we can do in here is that we can create a title and then we can press a lot of text down here and then what we will get over to the right is we will get inspired.

So now let me just try and type in some wording. I have now written some text here about Panta being an AI Project management tool and how it can help you.

Over here we can see that is rather sad what I have written, but it is very easy to read, so the overall score 58. It needs to be, of course a lot higher. Remember, this score is not based on SEO, it is based on emotions and how easy it is to read. We can always in here edit our goal if we do want to. For instance, here in the associate keywords, I can add project management tool however, they do not have any data on the keywords, it becomes again a little bit useless.

We need a lot more data within NeuroFlash to really utilise the tool. Over here in the menu, under the edit goal where it is, we can set the goal for the entire text. We also have this little light bulb and the light bulb is inspiration for you to use, whether it is phrases, images, associations or questions. However, again, because I’m writing so niche, then it becomes useless. So if you do write very broad or you write about something that almost everyone uses, then NeuroFlash might be a great tool for you.

But if you are a niche like I am, then maybe you need to wait a little bit or just follow how the tool is working now and then see progress over time because it does definitely have a lot of potential. We just need more data to really utilise all of the features within NeuroFlash.

NeuroFlash pricing

As you can see here on the screen. They have three different plants and it is quite expensive when you compare it to the competitors. The competitors are Nichesss and Conversion AI, and for instance, Nichesss is a bit lower in the pricing.

Alternatives to NeuroFlash

But when you do take a look at NeuroFlash and as you just saw in the walk through, they have a lot more features than especially Nichesss can offer. But what I do like about this pricing structure is that it’s simple and you can easily choose the plan that you like and best up all you can try it out completely free in their trial, where you can test out NeuroFlash to see whether it’s for you or not. But compared to Nichesss, it is very close where we only take a look at the generation tools of the AI tools because within NeuroFlash they have a lot more tools around the AI tools that Nichesss does not have.

For instance, you can analyse a lot of your wording, and you can see whether your wordings are easy to use, if they are a bit difficult to use, or if you should focus on other types of words.

Furthermore, they also have the entire marketing performance module where you can see whether your marketing campaign is going to perform or not. Compared to Conversion.AI, for instance, Conversion.AI has a great long form content generator, whereas NeuroFlash are not there yet. They have their long form content generator in beta and it is soon coming out for everyone to try it out. So I do not know how well it will be working, but for now it has not been a focus up until now. So let’s when they do release it, whether it can compare to Conversion.AI or not.

Nichesss

Nichesss is a great AI copywriting software helping you build content for almost every aspect of your business. The quality of the content generated is very high.

Future of NeuroFlash

Moving on to the future of NeuroFlash I couldn’t find a lot of information, but of course they’re working on their long form content writer, so we can generate full size content and blog posts that we can use on our blogs. Furthermore, I do hope they add more languages and more countries. For instance, I’m looking for my own country, Denmark, to be within this tool so I can use it for my native language.

But overall I do also hope that they work a little bit more on the UI and the US because it can be quite confusing when it is you start using the tool and as you probably saw in the walk through, it can take some time before you really learn the tool.

NeuroFlash Target group

Now moving on to the target group of NeuroFlash. It is content creators with a big exclamation point. If you are content creator, NeuroFlash is definitely for you, and if you do build long form content, NeuroFlash is also for you. Even though they don’t have a generator, you can analyse so much of your content to see whether your content is easy to read, if it’s going to rank and so much more. So if you do create content, blog posts or even ads, then you should definitely take a look at NeuroFlash and remember you can get started completely free.

Pros & Cons using NeuroFlash

Moving on to the pros and cons of NeuroFlash starting with the pros. They have a lot of functionality within the tool, and they have an interesting future, whereas the cons the UI can be quite confusing from time to time. The way of working with tabs takes more time to get used to. They do not have a lot of languages, including my own, and I would like to see bigger data sets in the future.

My Experience using NeuroFlash

NeuroFlash is an interesting tool, they have taken a different approach on the AI Copywrite angle. However, you do need to be aware of the UI. It will take you a lot of time to get used to, but when you do get used to it, it is very, very productive. If you do want to try out NeuroFlash, I have left my link down in the description down below. Overall, I will give NeuroFlash two and a half star.

I do need to see a better UI. I need to see long form content and more languages in order for them to score higher. But yea that is my review of NeuroFlash. I hope that you like the video, and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to NeuroFlash or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below.

Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

Features of Scalify

We can of course, see our analytics over here where we see the amount we have spent in the period chosen. We can see how many orders we received, the revenue, estimated profit. And then of course we can go to our analyse tab over here where we can see more extensive information such as how many sessions has been, what is the total revenue, estimated profit our campaigns here. If we do want to only see information about a specific campaign, we can see sessions by country and so much more in here.

Do remember to choose the period up here to really see how they are performing.

So for instance, if I choose up here the entire year, we can see that the estimated profit has been a minus right here is correct because I’ve not been earning money on Facebook ads, but over here we can see that I’ve spent 400 Danish kroner on Facebook ads. I have received some sessions, no revenue, and then we can see my different types of campaigns down here. And if I do click out my campaign of Missinglettr in this case, we can see my ad groups under and so on.

So that is the analyse tab. We can also move on to the campaign analysis tap here, where it is that we can see information about a specific campaign. So for instance, let’s take ClosersCopy here and analyse this campaign. So what we can see is more or less the same as before. I will just go up here and choose again the period.

It would be a help if it kept the period throughout the entire platform, but for now it’s just fine here we can see some audience split testing results. Creative split testing results. We can enable automation if we do want to, because then Scalify will pick an automation strategy that will really make our campaigns perform the best possible. Furthermore, we have some delivery summary down here that’s empty right now, but here we can see some ad spend, reach, CPM, ROAS, conversions, and so on. Moving on to the compare metrics here.

In here we can compare two campaigns to see which one has performed the best. So I’ll just choose WriterZen here, choose all ads sets, and then I’ll choose ClosersCopy. Again, all ad sets. I will go up here and then I will change the period again of time to the entire year. And then we can see here that so far WriterZen is winning all of it because ClosersCopy has zero and everything.

However, this is just a great way to see that if you have done something different on Campaign one than Campaign two and Campaign one is winning, then maybe you should continue doing what you did on Campaign one. But let’s go back to the launch tab here where it is that we can set up our first marketing campaign in Facebook. What I will do is that I will choose retargeting. And in here retargeting is usually for webshop. We can choose classic retargeting or dynamic retargeting.

And tetargeting is basically for those of you who doesn’t know it. It is when you have visited a website and looked at a specific product, then Facebook will send you ads for that product saying, hey, shouldn’t you come back and check out the product? Of course, only if they have Facebook retargeting, and they’re running it. But for now I’ll just do classic retargeting. I’ll say launch ads.

Now in here is where we set up the campaign, and this is similar for all the types of campaigns. Of course, there are some elements that varies, but for all of the campaigns, we can choose to create an offer for the specific campaign, or we can skip that and go straight to the campaign where it is that we can choose an existing campaign or set up a new campaign. For now, I’ll just choose a new campaign and say that it needs to be focused on traffic.

Over here I’ll just call this campaign YouTube video and then I’ll press next. Now here is where we need to set up the ad set.

In here we set the daily budget if it needs to start at a specific time and if it needs to end, let’s say you’re running a test and you only want to spend a certain amount of money. Then you can set in here the amount of money you want on a daily budget and maybe a week to see how it’s performing within a week. Furthermore, over here retargeting, we can choose what it is it needs to be variating on can be website visitors. Let’s say they just need to visit your website.

Then you want to target the with ads.

This is possible here. You can also be video watchers. Let’s say that you have seen a specific video. Then I want to target you with some specific ads that is also possible. Furthermore, with Facebook Page Engagement, Instagram profile engagement and retarget existing audiences, I will just say website visitors and all website visitors for now.

In here, we need to choose the Pixel that is pulled from our Facebook account and then of course we need to choose how many days it has to be before they need to see the ads. So here we’re saying that between zero and 30 days, then they need to receive the ads. And this is the days since they visited our website. For now, I’ll just press next, for the locations here we’ll just keep it worldwide, and then we’ll move on to age and gender.

So now we’re starting on our target group, and in here we can of course we can say how many years approximately they need to be in between, and we can choose the gender if we do want to. We can also set a split right here in a couple of years, if we do want to that as well. But now just press, generate, and then we’ll move on to placements because the placement is where your ad is going to be.

Automatic placement is often the best because then Facebook will based on the data that they have place the add the place that they find it, it will convert the best. And the last tap down here is optimisation, where it is we need to choose what this ad needs to be optimised for. And of course, in my case here it is link clicks. But ho ever down here we’ll choose what we’ll get charged for, whether it’s impressions or link clicks.

Of course, if you do choose link clicks, it will be a bit more. But that’s about the ad sets. Now moving on to the ad creative. This is our specific ads that our visitors will see. So what we’ll do in here and what I’ll also recommend you is to make multiple ads for Facebook to see what ad will perform the best.

So I have just added three different types of ads here. It is very simple. And if you do want to, you can create templates up here so you can easily use your ads across your different types of campaigns. You can also add emjois here of course, that is also via your keyboard.

But now moving on to the next phase is media. Here is the media that I’ve already used on my Facebook ads, I can choose to use again. I’ll just choose these three top ones here, and then I’ll move on to the next one. Otherwise you can of course, upload right here. Now moving on to the URLs.

This is the URL we want them to land on when they click on the ad. I will just write in my website, and then I’ll press next. Now we need to set up our call to action button. What does it need to say on the ad that we’re about to create? And for now I’ll just say learn more.

It is very simple. We can again A/B test. So let’s say it should also be called subscribe and watch more. So these three I will keep and then go to the next one where it is that we need to add some description. Here I will say headline, we’ll just call this one headline one, description one and headline two description two.

This is again for A/B testing. Now we have our entire setup, and we can now see our different ads here. You can see that there are a lot of different ads, and that’s because it’s A/B testing everything. So what we’ll do now is will press next here, and then we’ll review everything to make sure that we have chosen the right elements and everything looks good here. So I’ll press next, and we are now ready to launch it.

We can choose here two methods to run our campaigns. We can either choose the first one where all ads are inside each ad set, or we can choose that each ad is inside a separate ad set. This really depends on how you want to spend your budget, because the first one, which is the recommended one, lets Facebook algorithm determine which ads should receive more impressions based on the data that they already have, whereas over here it is a bit more manual. But other than that, everything is ready, and we can now press launch.

Now the second last thing I want to show you is automations within Scalify, because you can set up a lot of automations to make your campaigns perform better.

So for instance here we can say create new automation, and you can either choose to do it yourself or choose from the library. For now, I’ll just choose from the library and I want to increase campaign budget, use strategy. And then I will say load strategy here. And we now have the automation ready right here. And what this automation will do is that it will increase the campaign budget one time per day if the cost per purchase in the last three days, including today, is low enough.

And that is, of course, the number we said just before. And this is a great way to really run a lot of campaigns and maintaining them, optimising them without having to spend hours and hours every single day. But here we can see the actions and conditions saying that the budget needs to be increased by 20% though maximum budget is 20. And that will only happen if the campaign total purchases in the last three days, including today, is greater than three. And the second one here is if it’s less than 20 kroners.

So these two needs to be fulfilled in order for the campaign budget to be increased. I will now press next, and here you can see how often we need to run this automation. Of course, if you have a website with a lot of traffic, you need to run it often. Otherwise one or twice a day should be more than enough, especially because it looks three days back.

So it will only do it one time per day. So maybe just one time per day is great. You can also choose to receive notifications. This is just to make sure that everything is running as it should and you will be notified that the budget has been increased. And the last step here is as we just saw before, when we just review everything to make sure that everything is correct and when we do approve everything, we can create the automation.

Now the strategies I’ve just shown you also over here in the library for you just to scroll through. They have a lot of different types of automations that you can choose between, and they are constantly adding more. Now the last tab I want to show you it’s the scale tab. This is where you can easily scale your marketing set up without having to put in an enormous effort. For now, I’ll just show you a simple scaling campaign right here.

This is just like we saw it before. We can set up an offer if we do want to. I will skip this one and then we can say whether we want to choose an existing campaign or new campaign. For now. I’ll choose an existing campaign Missinglettr right here and press next.

Now we get again the choice whether we want to use existing ad sets or new ad sets. Again choosing the existing ones, and then we have to choose which ones we want. We want, of course, all of them, then next.

Now in here in our ad creative is where we need to create the ads that we want to show. Again, I will choose add existing creatives and I’ll choose my page right here and right now I don’t have any page post, so I need to create some creatives in here, so I will go back and you can see the one we entered just before are still here, so I will reuse those with the same images, URL the CTA’s we have to choose again. I’ll just choose some right here.

The description is already entered and then we’re ready to create. Now we’ll move on to the review and in here you can see that we have now everything ready. There’s no post, however, but there are ads, campaigns and ad set up, even though it looks a little bit strange because I just set up my ad creatives, but it says total, zero and zero ad sets, so there must be a little bit bug here, but everything looks fine here. The budget is fine, the bid strategy is lowest cost.

However, the campaign budget optimisation is on and the campaign name, objective spending is fine. I will now press next and again. The last step is where we need to choose how the budget needs to be spent as we just saw before, and this is an easy way to simple scale up your entire set up. You can also bulk scale if you do want to. Let’s say you have a lot of ads you want to scale up.

This is also possible in here.

Scalify pricing

Taking a look at the pricing structure of Scalify, they have simplified it down to it depends on your budget. The more you spend on Facebook ads, the higher the price of your Scalify subscription will be. They do have a free trial that you can use to see whether Scalify is for you or not.

Alternatives to Scalify

The competitors to Scalify is AdYouNeed, which I’ve already reviewed. AdYouNeed has an AI module which Scalify does not have.

Furthermore, AdYouNeed also have Google Ads integration. These two elements I would love to see within Scalify because Scalify do offer a lot more types of ads and campaigns that AdYouNeed does not, so it really depends on your need. If you have a niche need and you can go on with just doing your standard campaigns on Facebook, then you should take a look at AdYouNeed because they can really help you with your target group. Whereas if you need to A/B test and run a lot of campaigns, then Scalify for you.

AdYouNeed

AdYouNeed is the closest competitor to Scalify with its easy-to-use interface and their extensive AI module to help you find your exact target group matching your ads.

Future of Scalify

Moving on to the future of Scalify they are of course working on improving their ads manager and doing better and extensive campaign analytics which we can use to see whether a campaign is performing or not because it is so expensive on Facebook to run a campaign that’s just not performing. Furthermore, they are adding more campaign types like messenger, app installs and many more combining that with the languages they are also working on. We will be able to soon run a lot of more types of campaigns. They are also working on integrations with Scalify so we can easily take our leads or our data and move to another programme to really utilise it to see what we can improve that Scalify is not telling us. They’re working on integration to MailChimp, Hyros, HubSpot and many more.

The thing I’m most excited about is their Google Ads integration that they’re working on at the moment.

When they also add Google Ads, we will be able to run our entire marketing set up within Scalify and really scale it up without having to spend an enormous amount of time maintaining it. I do hope to see TikTok ads in the future. This is something AdYouNeed is working on and TikTok is really still blowing up.

Scalify Target group

Moving on to the target group of Scalify it is, of course marketeers and bigger companies who are looking for a software that can help them scale up their entire setup.

For now it is only Facebook ads, but in the future they will add Google Ads so you can scale up your entire marketing set up.

Pros & Cons using Scalify

Moving on to the pros and cons of Scalify starting with the pros, it is easy to use and the design is great. I can keep an overview of running 100 different types of campaigns. The cons, however, are, I’m missing a layer to help you better pick out my target group, and I’m missing Google Ads, which they’re already working on. Using scalify you can easily scale up your Ad set up without losing the overview, with Scalify’s powerful platform, you can A/B test your campaigns and run hundreds of campaigns while still keeping the overview and making sure that you profit from it.

My Experience using Scalify

Overall, I will give Scalify three and a half stars.

The design is great and easy to use. It really works, and it’s easy to set up campaigns. However, I do need to see elements like AdYouNeed has, where they have added an AI module to really help me set up my campaign and making sure that they are targeted the right people. But yea that is my review of Scalify, I hope that you like the video, and if you did, please give it a thumbs up.

If you have any questions to Scalify other products you would like you to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching, let’s catch up on the next one.

Are you ready to skyrocket your organic traffic to your website? If you’re a blogger or a content creator, then today’s product showcase is for you. It’s no secret that it gets tougher and tougher ranking on Google with the constant algorithm changes. Today’s product showcase is Outranking.io, an AI powered SEO research tool which can help you research, write and optimise your content to end up with high quality SEO content for your website. With their three main modules, you are set up for organic success.

So without further Ado, let’s dive into Outranking.io and let me set you up for success.

We are now inside Outranking, and I’m very excited to show you their three main modules which will really set you up for success in the organic modules and organic traffic within Google. First of all, we have the SEO content here where we can create and optimise content. Then we have our SERP analysis, and we have the questions. From a UX perspective, I would put SEO content at last because we need to do the SERP analysis and the questions before we start writing our SEO content. But that’s just a small thing.

First off, I want to show you the questions module here, because what it will do is that we’ll enter a keyword and then Outranking will find all of the questions asked on the World Wide Web based on that keyword. And that is good because then we can make answer targeted articles. So let’s say that I enter the keyword project management tool and I then press submit. Now you can see it’s starting to collect SERP data that is search results data. And based on this data, we’ll be able to see what questions are asked out there.

And then we need to do a little bit more research because there can be questions there’s already answered out there. We need to find the questions that are not answered. I’m not going to show that in the video, but it’s just for you to know it has now loaded all of the questions and it does take quite a lot of time, but it is also a lot of data needs to go through. Here it is showing me two types of results. It is showing me the related keywords to the keyword I entered.

And then the Google questions and the related keywords are, of course, only questions. So, for instance, a question here is; what is a project management tool? That is one question that is highly likely answered already. Then there are other questions, such as what project management tool does Amazon use, or why use a project management tool? Which tools or technique is used in developed project management plan process, and so on. So you can see a lot of these are great questions that you can answer.

But I do recommend you to take a look at the questions and Google them to see whether they’re already articles answering these questions perfectly because then do not spend your time on it. Now down here in Google is the interesting parts, because here it says if you search for what is the most popular tool in tracking projects, that is a question asked fairly often on Google. That’s why they’re showing it the same with this one is PMO a strategic role, for each of these they have this search for is and then the question, a little bit unnecessary.

Of course, it would be awesome if I could click on it and then I was send on to Google, but I find it unnecessary just to write it. But here you can get an idea of all of the questions around your keyword that you want to write for your article and the questions which are not answered.

I would highly recommend you start answering them in your article for your article to blow up, but that is the questions module extremely relevant for you. Now the SERP analysis over here works more or less the same. Now if I enter project management tool and press submit it will now collect SERP data. And based on this SERP data you can see here we get a lot of statistics and numbers. So for instance, here the length of the words in general here, like the amount of words per article, minimum has to be 439.

In average, they are 5000 and maximum 24,000. This is a bit irrelevant for creating a good article. You can easily create an article in a couple of thousand words and out beat everyone. It does not have to be like this. It’s not the length of the article that counts as what is the best article.

But here we can see how many pages are missing META titles. There are zero. Are there any featured snippets? And there are not, so here there could be a chance for creating an article which could be a featured snippet. Are the questions people ask?

Yes, there are. Pages missing meta description, zero. So it is based on this data. It is a very competitive keyword, but there are still some chances we can still get the featured snippet. And down here we can see the SERP analysis results, and it chooses the first two pages. So we get 20 results you can see right here.

And for each of these results we can see the content length, the domain authority, backlinks, do follow links, and so on. The grade out here is based on what Outranking do find them to. And you can see here the number one project on the search results here only has 2413 words. It is still a lot, but it’s just to show you that it is actually out beating a lot of competitors with a lot more words. And you can see here number 5, 439 words.

And that is because it is hitting right on the nail answering the question that we are looking for, maybe. But you can also see that they get a low grade, but they are still ranking number five and a highly competitive keyword. So the grade out there we need to take a little bit and not really live to get that up high. Now up in the top here we have metadata and URL also, and we can see this for each of these search results.

We also have the H-tags to see. Then we can see all of the H1 tags and this is just for inspiration. Do not copy paste this. Then we have the keyword data again for each of these results. Then we can see how many times do they you specific keywords.

This is relevant for you to see whether you really need to focus on the keywords or not. Of course, it is still the overall article which is going to help you rank. But here you can see what they use in H1, H2, H3, and so on for their keywords. And this is just a great way to get inspired for your article. Now we also have questions here, and this is the questions asked on this specific search term.

And then we have other tags in the end here. And this can be a lot of different types of tags, you can see here. It’s external links, internal links, images, tables and captions and heads, and so on. So this is just other types of tags. Now, just to show you quickly back in the SERP overview here.

If we go down in the bottom here, you can also see the external site links and the related keywords in the bottom. So by doing this SERP analysis, you get a lot of information of your keyword. It is not a keyword research, but you are very close to having it, and you just get so much relevant information for you to really build out your article. So now we have the questions, and we have the SERP analysis. So we are now ready to go and build out our article.

So we are now in the SEO content module and I will create a new document. You can either choose to create a new content or optimise existing content. Let’s say you have an article already on your website, and it doesn’t perform as you want it to. Then you can plug it into here, and then you can start working on it. This is very interesting.

For now. I’ll just create a new piece of content and I will just enter, project management tool which we have used through the video. Then we have to choose a location we want to target for this specific article. And the language. This language is something they’ve recently added.

And I’m of course happy to see Danish here, but here they have added some languages, not so many. It is in beta, so let’s see how it will go with that. I’ll just keep it in English and down here we can choose the status which is just draft for now and then the tags if we’re using tags and this is to differ between the different documents.

For now I’ll just create this new SEO document for us to get started. In here is where we create our article, and we have a lot of things we need to go through. Over here we have our editor, here we have our AI wizard and, last but not least we have our instructions over here. What I usually do is I just start out by generating some title ideas and this is sometimes a mix, sometimes good. The testing I’ve done is around 60% I often get a good title that I can use based on the AI Wizard, but here it is a little bit of a mix.

I think I’ll just go with the last one for now. But here you can see it’s not amazing results, but I’ll go with this one for now. We’ll then press next and here we can generate the meta description, I’ll just press. Do be aware here it often generates too long meta descriptions, so maybe you need to work a little bit with it, but here you can see the ones they generated.

And of course, depending on the article you’re about to write, the meta description will be changing a little bit, but I will just choose this one for now, which is a little long. It’s not using all the keywords down here, but it’s using almost all of them. So I’ll choose this one and press next. And as you can see over here, we now have our URL, title, meta description and our heading our H1. So we are now ready to generate an outline.

I will generate outline ideas here and then based on this, we can then generate our outlining. So you can see we’ve got a lot of great results here. I will just click some of these off, so we can start with our outlining. So I now chose five different titles that we can use in our outlining. And I will now press, create outline. And what you can see here is that we now have a lot of H2’s.

I actually chose six, I can see. For each of these H2’s, we have some different elements we can do. We can either do the concept where we can generate some concepts. I will click on this one for you to see. This means that for this specific section, what is the concept of it?

The concept we’ll just say is allow for collaboration among project stakeholders. Let’s click on that one. And when I mean click on it, then out here we can develop the concept so you can see over here to the left, it is now adding it and writing a little bit. We can then choose whether we want to summarise it. This is often good for conclusions.

We can choose whether we want to answer the question in this case it is actually a question so we can choose to answer it. And last but not least, we can click write for me and this will just write content for us. We can click multiple times and it will then write content and you can then read over here whether the content is relevant enough for you or you need to change it a little bit. If these concepts are not working for you, you can always add custom concept where you write the concept for this specific section because the concept are used for really figuring out what type of content do I need to write in this section and the more precise you are, the better results you will get.

Now I’m fine with this section, and we can now choose to go to the next step.

But before we do so I just want to show you up here that we have some sections from the SERP and this is what we did just before in the SERP analysis. This is different types of sections that we can also add and work with, if we do want to just to be aware of not copy pasting too much, it is just a great addition. Then over here we do also have some extra elements we can work with the HFW and the rearrange. If we do want to rearrange some sections for now I’ll just keep it as it is and from here it is just to start writing.

And when you’re done with all of the sections, I’ll just keep this one section for now. Then what you need to do is you need to optimise the section for more reach. This means that we need to use some of these keywords a bit more, according to Outranking.io. And last but not least, we need to verify the section keywords. And here we can see that, are we using all of the keywords correctly, or do we need to add even more keywords?

Last but not least, we have, of course, our SEO score out here, which is telling us whether our title is good enough. The meta description, the heading, the sections. We need to add a lot more sections if we need to be competitive. Again, this is a bit of a question that I can’t answer 100, but it’s not the length of the article that is going to tell whether it’s going to rank or not. As you just saw before, articles on 400 works can easily outrank articles on 25,000 words, so it is definitely possible.

Here you can see that we have great questions. The topic coverage needs improvement. We need to cover the topic better. That is correct. We need to use related keywords even more.

And then down here we have the URl is great and the research is based on SERP data, so you can use this out here as a bit of a help. Do not build the article to score a high SEO score because it does not guarantee your article to rank, but sometimes it can be relevant and can help you to really build out a great article. But do remember to only keep it as a guide lining. Now the AI write here, we can also change the instructions for this a little bit.

Let’s say that the output length we are doing right now, is not long enough. We can then set it up to high, which means that we’ll get more content out when we press write for me. If it is too long, we can also of course set it down to low, and then we can write for me. There are also some quick functions you can use here. And then of course, as we just saw before, we can answer the question, we can get some instructions on the featured snippet or a definition.

I have now chosen 89 characters, and it needs to be less than 100. And we can then write a featured snippet instruction here. And it will now write out my featured snippet. And this feature snippet is in this case a list format where it is talking about how to create a project, set the goals, who is responsible, and so on. We can also do it as a definition. And this is the tools that you have to really create a great article.

And of course, all of these tools writing are based on GPT-3 as an AI tool, but they are really working great, and I see improvement every day. It is really an exciting future ahead of Outranking.io.

Moving on to the pricing structure of Outranking. They consist of four plans, and they only differ on the features, and it is two features we need to notice here. It is the amount of SEO documents and the amount of analysis and searches you can do within. You can get started completely free if you do want to try out outranking.

I do have a link in the description down below. The competitor to Outranking.io is definitely Frase.io. These tools are very similar and especially now when Frase.io has added the GPT-3 layer, then these two are very similar to each other and the way that they work in the flow are more and more the same within the tools. I’m very excited to see Outranking coming up here because they really do pressure Frase.io, and when we have this competition, we will only get even better tools in the future.

I do really like working with Outranking.io, and the results I have received and achieved within Outranking.io are just astounding.

Moving on to the future of Outranking, they have a lot of exciting elements. For instance, they’re working on order created AI written full outlining. This means that you can outline an entire article through AI and the only thing you need to do is give it a keyword and help it a little bit along the way. This is very exciting and will save us for an enormous amount of time. They’re also working on identifying content keyword gaps.

This will help you create content wherever there are gaps within Google, and you can really receive a lot of traffic through this. Furthermore, they’re working on integration to Google Docs so you can use Outranking within Google Docs, and then we’ll see a lot of improvements to the SEO score as you just saw in the walkthrough. Furthermore, the last two exciting elements that I picked out is the keyword research tool and the plagiarism checker, these two elements will take Outranking to a new level, and I’m very excited to see all of these features implemented.

Now the target group for Outranking.io is content creators bloggers, and even if you’re new to creating content, Outranking.io is just helping you so much getting started, optimising your content and making sure that you always create high quality SEO content, fulfilling a lot of the algorithms that Google has done.

Now moving on to the pros and cons of Outranking.io starting with the pros. The content creation flow is productive. The modules for research works well. Their question module is extensive and their step by step instructions works great, whereas for the cons meta descriptions are often generated too long and the generated content for the sections are too short.

Using Outranking.io, I’ve been able to create SEO optimised content, and I do see articles rank faster. However, it is still a patience game. I will keep using Outranking.io and I’m very excited for the future ahead. Overall, I will give Outranking.io four and a half stars. I’m extremely excited for the tool and the functionality within, and the overall flow of creating content is just amazing.

I would like to see more precise meta descriptions in generation and more easy flows to write more content per section. But yea, that is my review of Outranking.io. I hope that you liked the video, and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Outranking.io or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching.

Are you also running out of ideas of what to write about? Being a content creator, you need to constantly come up with creative ideas in your writing, and they not only need to be relevant for your target group, but they also need to be creative, and you need to write the piece of content. Today’s product showcase is Peppertype and via Peppertype, you can generate ideas whether it’s for blog introductions, video descriptions for YouTube or for Facebook ads. So without further ado, let’s dive in to Peppertype and let me show you how you set it up.

We are now inside Peppertype and this is our starting point where it is we can create content. Peppertype is very simple, and it reminds me a lot of Basecamp in the design. If you have been using Basecamp, you will see it right away. In the menu, it is very simple. We have our home, saved copies, recent activity and that’s it.

Over here we can see what they’re working on. Otherwise, we can create copy. Let’s just jump right in and let’s start out by creating some tweet ideas because after this video is online on YouTube, I want to tweet it and talk about this video on Twitter. So let me just fill out and let’s see the results. It is rather fast.

It took less than 5 seconds to generate all of these ideas. What I was typing in, as you can see right here in the details, I made a review about Peppertype.ai, I went through all of their AI features. You should check it out, and then I press create tweet ideas here, and you can see right now it’s not edited, it is just creating, and now it’s ready. So by checking the results right here, we can say that it is a bit of a mix.

The first one up here is just talking about language identification, which is more just AI in general, whereas the next one is quite useless. It is just saying ask people to share how they find it useful. That’s not so relevant. Talk about how this course will help them with their current project, also a bit of a mix. Tweet about Peppertypes AI capabilities.

We could use that we could at least tweet about their capabilities. Use a quote from the review to get more exposure. Very good idea. So you can see here, this is not tweets to just plug and play into Twitter.

This is ideas telling you what type of tweet you could do. And if we do like any of these, for instance, I like this one here. I can just press save and then it is saved up here in saved copies, and we can always access it up here. We can also down all of the tweets if we do want to down locally on our computer. And last but not least we can copy the text.

If we do want to use the text, as this is ideas I do not need to copy it. I just needed an idea to see what I could create as content. And this is what I often use all of these AI software for. It is for getting ideas about what I need to write about, because often you write in the same tone and about the same subject in the same way.

You often need a new way to write your things and here Peppertype.ai is a great way to get a lot of different types of ideas that you wouldn’t have come up with yourself because you often just write in the same way. But overall, these ideas are a bit of a mix. As I said, some are good, some are not so relevant, but that’s how it is with these AI tools. We cannot get 100% relevant ideas every time.

But let’s try and move on to home here again where you can see they actually have 33 different types of tools. This is very, very great to see. What I was very excited to see is a blog conclusion. This is something I always insert into my articles. So let’s try and test that out to see how this is working.

And what I’ll just show you fast is that I have now tested it with multiple brands. And as you can see when I click here, it is showing me the brands already. And if I click on Peppertype.ai, it is taking the text that we already entered in here. But for this one, I am actually a little bit worried because a conclusion needs to be a conclusion of my entire article.

But here I can only write 180 characters, mean that I need to describe my entire article plot it in here, and then it will elaborate the text. So it’s not so much a conclusion of my article. It is more an elaboration of the text that I enter. In the advanced options down here. We can choose if we do want a call to action, we can just say as it says right here, start the free trial today because it is still about Peppertype. So let’s just see how this will work out.

It is now done and I only got one conclusion and it is very generic, unfortunately. And of course, when I can only enter 180 characters, it is very limited how precise his conclusion can become. I’m not saying it’s a bad conclusion it’s just very generic and of course can use it if I do want to. But one thing that I’m looking for here is that my CTA that I entered under advanced is not here. So I’m not understanding 100% what the functionality of the CTA is.

If we do want to, we can also see annotations up here, and we have the call to action right there. But again, I’m missing it in the text down here. Let’s try and go back here to the front page again where we still have a lot of tools we can use. And I will try to make a meta description just for you guys to see how the results are. This time I will use Panta.ai, which is a project management tool utilising AI to help you better manage your projects.

In the advanced options here, we can add some keywords that we are focusing on. This will be project management tool. Manage project and business management just for now this is the keywords and I will now press create SEO meta description. I now got five results, as you can see right here. The first one is actually okay.

Managing a business is hard, let us help. Panta.ai is a project management tool that automatically generates project plans that you can use to better manage your business. Get started with Panta.ai today click here. It’s actually pretty good.

I would remove click here, but very good. The next one is your business currently running smoothly. Do you need a tool to help you plan your project? Panta.ai is a project management tool that will help you plan your business. Get started with Panta.ai today.

Also a very good description. The next one is Panta.ai is a project management tool utilising AI to better help you manage your projects. That was what I wrote and they just added find out more, so that’s a little bit unnecessary for me. The next one here is also very similar. Of course, it is still very generic saying that Panta.ai is a project management tool that will help you manage your projects.

Nothing about AI here and then the last one down here is also very good. If you’re looking for an easy to use project management tool, then Panta.ai is a perfect solution for you. Panta.ai is a brand-new AI project management tool that will give you the ultimate edge in your business. Also, very good.

This I’m very impressed with. I would save at least three of them for now because the two last ones are very generic, but these three are great. Going back to home here, I want to do a blog intro because in all of my AI reviews I have always done these blog intros. So for now I will just take Panta.ai and say I want to write a blog post about Panta.ai being a project management tool utilising AI to help you better manage your projects. So let’s see how this goes.

It has now generated four different blog intros and all of them are actually very good. I’m very impressed by the introductions here. It is some of the best results I have seen of the AI tools I have reviewed, and really do like this one. Panta.ai is a unique project management tool that utilises AI and big data to create a more personalised project management tool solution. It doesn’t just automate the process.

It goes deeper by automating the boring bits and using AI to help you set a clear objective and design a project plan. This one is very good. It is on point describing Panta.ai. Very impressed by this, I must say. But overall that is what I want to show you from Peppertype.

They do have a lot of different tools, and if you have any questions to these tools, please do let me know in the comments section down below. I can test out for you. If you have any questions, just let me know.

Taking a look at the pricing structure within Peppertype, it consists of three plans, whereas two of the plans are what you really need to focus on because the last plan is just their enterprise plan. The difference on the two plans is that you can collaborate, share results, access control, and download results on the bigger plan, which you cannot do on the smaller plan. And do be aware because the more users you get, the more expensive it will become. So when you look here at the screen and you see the price, that is for one user, so if you do have multiple users, it will quickly become very expensive.

So if you need a lot of users, maybe Peppertype is not for you.

But overall, if you can get along with just one user, then you should definitely take a look at Peppertype. The competitors to Peppertype as I see it, is Nichesss and ConversionAI. Of course, ConversionAI is still in the lead when it comes to these small generation of content because it just generates so good content. And they have bought a lot of the players on the market right now, so they have a lot of knowledge within the market, whereas Nichesss is a little bit more of a small product, but they generate so good quality content and it is also small types of content like Facebook, Ads or similar items.

And Nichesss I’ve already reviewed, which you can see right here. Moving on to the future within Peppertype, it is quite exciting. They have a lot on their roadmap. For instance, they are working on improving their output based on the input that we give it, so we can be more precise and exactly what it is we want and the length of it. Furthermore, they’re adding more tools such as website content, video scripting generator, fiction storyteller, and so many more are coming very soon. And with the grammar correction we will be able to soon generate even better content.

Last but not least, they’re working on a Chrome extension, folder structure, and a lot more. With the Chrome extension, we can generate content wherever we are on the World Wide Web. So that is very exciting for us to see. Now the target group of Peppertype is definitely content creators who are looking for inspiration. Because for instance, when I use these AI tools, I use it to get new ideas because you can plot in so much content and get a lot of different types of ideas out.

Whether it is blog titles, it’s blog descriptions or Facebook ads, for instance, so content creators or bloggers who are looking for more inspiration or just creating content. Peppertype is definitely for you. Moving on to the pros and cons of Peppertype starting with the pros. It is easy to use and you can generate content fast. They have 33 tools which produce great results. They have unique tools and they have workspaces.

Their cons, however, it can be quite expensive with a lot of users. They do not have long form content to write an entire blog post, and they do not have a language modules so you can translate your content. I do really enjoy using Peppertype. Their design reminds me a lot of Basecamp. It’s so easy to use and it makes something very complex, extremely simple.

I’m excited for the features coming, and I do hope they will focus on the languages as well, because they will take it really up a notch. Overall, I will give Peppertype 3,5 stars for them to get higher. We need long form content and we need the language module. But yea that is my review of Peppertype. I hope that you like the video, and if you did, please give it a thumbs up.

If you have any questions to Peppertype or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

What do you do when you promote your article, articles are a written form, and when you have build it out and published it, you need to promote it. Otherwise, no one is going to know about your article. Today’s product showcase is Pictory and via Pictory, you can transform your article into a video. In 2021 video marketing is king, we love watching videos compared to reading and we have never been busier. So Pictory which can turn your article into a video within a couple of minutes, is perfect for you.

So without further ado, let’s dive in to Pictory and let me show you how you can transform your article into a video. Signing into Pictory, this is our standpoint where we start everything, here we can choose whether we want to create a video from an article, from a script, from visuals, or we want to edit our video with voice and using text. These four possibilities are here right now. Furthermore, up here, we have our projects, which is the videos we have already created.

Then we have our brand settings, which is going to save us a lot of time because in here we can enter our brand name. We can add our logo, where the logo should be previewed. If we have an intro, we always want to be displayed on our videos. We can also add it here and the same with an outro. Furthermore, we can also design how the title should be in here, what font and the font size. Furthermore, the colour, the background and the keyword colour.

And then of course we can in here choose the scenes as well so you can build an entire brand kit which will save you even more time building out these videos, because already now Pictory is saving us a lot of time by generating a video, based on text that we’ve already written. But also, of course, we need to work a little bit with the video, but with a brand kit, it will make it a lot easier. And you can easily put your logo on all of your videos.

But let’s go back to our standpoint and let’s try and generate a video from an article I have written. So here is the article, it’s called Top 8 SEO Mistakes to Avoid for increasing traffic in 2021. I have now plotted it in to Pictory, so let’s see what the result will be. What it does while we wait here is that you can see it is extracting the key messages in the article so it finds whatever it finds the most relevant in the article because this text it is going to use from the article into the video, it is now done.

And you can see our entire article is over here on the left with images and everything. And it has taken it quite well because I have more text after the article, but it has cut that out, so that’s great to see. And over here on the right is what it will use for the video. And here you can basically see it’s just taking all of the headlines, which is great because that is important. However, the conclusion and FAQ is not as important, so I would like to delete that.

However, I cannot do that, that’s the thing I would like to see in the future, at least because over here you can see it is AI powered. So their AI has taken out all of these texts and find it relevant for them to generate the video. I cannot edit it, but now let’s try and go to the next step. Where it is that we need to choose the aspect ratio for our video. And this is, of course, depending on what platform you’re going to use it on.

For instance, if it is on Instagram, the square would be very good. But if it is on Twitter or Facebook or LinkedIn, the landscape is maybe a little bit more relevant. And the portrait is great for, as you can see down here, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter as well. But for now, let’s just go with the landscape right here. And now it is really just generating the video based on the text we saw just before it is now done.

It took around eight to ten seconds. It was very, very fast. And you can see now we have our video editor. It is very simplified, but it works very well at the moment. However, let’s see how the video is and what the quality of the video is. And it’s the visualisation is really as good as it needs to be. So, of course, what we can do is that first we can just start to preview it.

That’s what I often do just to see where I’m at and where my standpoint is. And when you do press preview, it is only showing the slide that you’re on the scene right now. If you want to do see the whole video, you need to press preview up here. But for now, I’ll just click through the scenes. The first scene is fine. It is just my image I have on my website. The next scene is also OK.

Still about SEO, then it’s using my picture again. That black background here is not what I would prefer that we can change. Then we have a mistake, one using issue without a clear goal 404. Yeah, it’s OK. It could be better, it could be a little bit more a guy working with you or something similar. Here we have some SEO technique which it uses as the keyword to find the media, which is in this case, of course, a video background.

This is OK. It is not waow but it’s OK. And here it’s also OK, I would say. Here we get a little bit away from the image and from the video I want to create because it has nothing to do with the word quantity. This is just a mistake, but maybe I should have been more relevant about this line here. Mistake three that you need to focus on quality content, not so much quantity. And it would be great if I could edit just before because then I would be able to specify exactly that.

So overall, the video is OK. It’s not as bad as some of my other testing, but it is OK as a standpoint because of course we can edit it. So for instance, this slide here, the video is completely off. So what I’ll do is I’ll go to visuals over here and then we can change another video. We have our library, textures, my own uploads and recent of course. So here, I think I will search more for let’s try and search for content, I have now chosen the guy here who’s writing on a whiteboard.

I would like to choose a little bit more a guy or girl writing content on a piece of paper with a computer. But for now, I’ll just go with this one here. And now we have already changed one scene in order to make the entire video a lot better. And you saw how fast that was. If I want to, I can, of course, also change the texture right here. So, for instance, this one here, I can’t really change the black background because the image here is transparent.

I would like to be able to enter a texture on the background. But as you can see, when I press here, then it changes the entire thing just to the texture. And that is a little bit boring to look at. I would like to be able to change the texture on the background, but still keep my image in the front. Now, another thing over here is audio, because we can attach a music track to the entire video.

And right now it has just chosen creative solutions, which it is playing in the background in the entire video, and that is fine. You can see here the music tracks that they have. They do not have as many as I would like them to have. But of course, they also have the voice over, and the voice is very important. Here you can see that they have a lot of predefined voiceovers, which is in US English, UK English, Australian English and Indian English right now.

So it is limited. Of course, if you do want to do it in your own language, you can over here upload your voiceover or record your voiceover, which I’ll also talk a little bit about later in this video when we talk about the future. If we do want to, we can also trim the video in order to make it shorter, of course. So let’s say that this is a little bit boring of a scene to have.

So I’ll just cut it down to six seconds right here. And now we have just trimmed it down to six seconds instead of ten seconds. And we can, of course, always see what the estimated video duration will be up here. Furthermore, over in the menu, we can choose the style of the entire video, whether it should be as it is now, just the image with the text in the bottom with the keyword highlighted in a certain colour.

We can also change to a little bit more of a book style right here, or we can go with an entire different type of theme here. Where it moves all the text to the left. And you can see they have a lot of different themes here. They have eight themes you can choose between. Furthermore, between these scenes, there are, of course, transitions and these transitions you can also choose. But be careful because it is so easy to make it look like a PowerPoint from 2003 with all of these transitions in between.

Last but not least, we can always change the format, of course, if we do want to. So let’s say that you chose the landscape, but you actually wanted to work a little bit more with the square. It is as easy as this just to change it. And now we’re working on a square video up here. Remember to press 1080P if you do want that. If 720P is OK for you, you can also keep that.

And what I always do is that I optimise the generated video for size, because when you upload it to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, they compress it completely. So if you optimise already, it will not be as compressed as it would be if you didn’t optimise it. Furthermore, over here in the Settings section, we can choose whether we want to hide the text. I will not recommend this unless you are 100% sure that you will always have audio on your video.

We can choose whether we want a visual zoom and pan. This creates a little bit visualisation and creates life around your video. So that is a great thing to have. Furthermore, in the audio, we can choose whether we want to mute the upload video, which is running the background. And if we do want background music, all of these elements are creating life around the video, which is great because you need to stick the user to watch your video from start to end.

But last but not least, when you are satisfied with your video, which we are right now, we can go up here and press generate. And what it will do now is that will create all the scenes it will generate the video and then it will optimise the video for us, because as you just remember, we just pressed the video should be optimised for the size. And as I said in the introduction, that video marketing is king in 2021.

You can see that there are some funny notes down here and it’s said that all of the traffic sources in 2021, 80% are just videos. Overall that is the functionality within Pictory. Be aware that when you generate a video, it does take a lot of time. It is something they’re working on because for them to be a productive tool and especially within video, we can of course not wait a long time to get our video out, which is one minute and 50 seconds right now.

It should be rather fast to export that. Taking a look at Pictory’s is pricing structure, that consists of four plans, whereas they differ on the amount of videos you can work with, the minutes, the features and more, as you can see here on the screen. You can get started completely free with three videos, with full functionality where you’re only limited on the minutes and storage. If you do want unlimited of everything, that is not possible. However, with their premium plan, you get a lot of functionality and a lot of videos to work with.

So you should be able to come very far with that plan, even though you’re a big company. The pricing structure can be quite confusing because there are so many elements that it is differing on. I would like to see a more simple pricing structure where we are maybe only limited on the amount of videos or the minutes. Right now it is just too many elements that it is differing on.

Taking a look at the competitors to picture it, as I see it, it is InVideo. InVideo has a lot more than the functionality of just converting an article into a video. It is also an entire video editor. More than what we see right now with Pictory. Within InVideo, they were the first, as far as I’m aware of, within the industry of being able to enter an URL and out we’ll get a video. However, the videos differ a little bit in the quality, I would say based on my testing, I have not been able to get a lot of good quality videos out from articles.

But of course, you get a good standpoint and then from there you can always work your way out. But InVideo, as they have a lot more functionality than Pictory, I am still a big fan of InVideo. Moving on to the future within Pictory it is very exciting, they have a very packed roadmap. For instance, sooner or later you can control the volume. They are making a lot of improvements to the subtitles and that’s important because right now on social media, subtitles is king in order to understand videos, because videos are played without sound a lot.

Furthermore, they’re working on better user input so you can create better visualisation within your videos. They are also working on that you can add your own voice over because right now within Pictory you can only choose predefined voice overs. And adding your own voice over is another unique element for your video. Of course, they are also working on the video editor, making it more fast, reliable and adding more features that we also see within InVideo for instance. Last but not least, as what I find important, is that they are adding integrations so we can upload videos to YouTube, to Vimeo, to Google Drive in an easy way without we have to use a middle station like our computer.

But their road map is definitely one of the most packed road maps I have seen within the reviews that I have done here on YouTube. Now, who is the target group for Pictory? As I see it, it is bloggers and smaller companies. Overall, it is just content creators who are looking to improve engagement and be more productive in their content creation flow because using Pictory you not only save time, but you also promote the articles you build on your website.

So if you have a website where you build articles, Pictory is definitely for you. Moving on to the pros and cons within Pictory, starting with the pros, they have a fast and responsive web app. They generate videos fast. You can convert both articles, script and visuals to a video, and they have an integration to Shutterstock. Whereas the cons is that you cannot build a video from scratch and the videos generated are often a bit low in quality and they do not have as many music tracks as I would like them to.

Using Pictory, I can really create videos fast for all of my articles. I save an enormous amount of time on reaching a standpoint where I can work on. They are not a polished product yet, but with their roadmap I’m very excited for the future. Remember, you can get started completely free with their trial of three videos. Overall, I will give Pictory two and a half stars out of five stars. I would like to see a better video generated for them to get a higher grade.

But yeah, that is my review of Pictory. I hope that you liked the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Pictory or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

We have all built surveys for numerous reasons. I myself started building surveys all the way back to elementary school and up today where I’m asking for product feedback and using surveys it is perfect for all of this. Luckily, time changes and back from when I did it in elementary school and until today. Then, with today’s showcase, you can create surveys utilising AI. Todays product showcase is BlockSurvey and BlockSurvey is built on top of a blockchain, which makes it possible to encrypt all of your data.

So without further ado, let’s dive into BlockSurvey and let me show you how you set up a survey. We are now inside BlockSurvey, where we have our dashboard here, where we can choose to create our first survey. We can either choose to create completely from scratch or we can create it from a template. And last but not least, of course, we can create it using AI they have a lot of different types of templates you can choose between.

And this is an easy and fast way to get started with your survey. First off, I’ll just show you how it looks when it is you want to create from a template. You can see in here they have almost three hundred different types of templates. So depending on your need, they do most likely have a template for you. For instance, I’ll just take this photography feedback form just for the sake of this video so you can see how it looks like.

So when it is, you choose your template. You will see how it looks for the user, of course, and not so much for you in the backend. And as you can see, this one is very simple. It is not so much like Typeform here. This is more like where we just have the fields, we have some text field we can fill out here and then we can submit it in the bottom. This one is very, very simple.

Of course we can change it to be a little bit more like TypeForm where we have one question at a time. So they only have to focus at one question at a time. Or we can change to the last part, which is more of a conversational part where you do have a conversation with the type of bot you can say so. If we do want to use this template, we basically just click up here on the red button, and then we are within where it is we create our template.

So now we have the template and we’re now within the survey up here in the menu, we have the design, the preview, share, integrate, responses and analytics. So over here on the left, we have, of course, all of our questions. And if you do want to either add a question add a welcome screen, change the title and description, you basically just click over here. And for each of these questions, you have a lot of different options, of course.

For now, I’m just choosing the question, what would you have done differently if you had taken this picture? And for this question, we can choose whether it should be required or not, which means that they have to answer it, whether they should be able to skip or hide the question if there should be a character limit or it should be a loop question. Furthermore, for each question, we can do a logic saying that if the question A was answered in this type of way, then show this question.

Otherwise show another question. Furthermore, we have assignment’s over here where we can say that if they answer this question correct or they answer a certain way, they will get X amount of points. And then in the end, based on the amount of points, then you show an end result based on that. Furthermore, we have the feedback here where we can display or receive instant feedback. We have last but not least, the messages here where you can choose what the button text should be, the button hint, the feedback button text, the answer is required.

And if they exceed the limit, that is, of course, if you want it in another language or you just want to customise them to exactly your need. Of course, over to the right, we can always see how the question looks like. So if I change the button text here, then you can see the button also changes here. So this is a great way to always stay on top. Whether your changes are good are not.

In the bottom here we have our submit screen, which is the last step. Where it is they have to submit the entire form they have now filled out. This one is very simple, you can see that we can allow multiple submissions, which means that the same user can go in and fill out the entire form again. We can choose whether it should be a parent direct. It should be a hide submit screen. And then, of course, we can choose a redirect logic if it should go to another screen when it is that they submit their form.

It could be, you have made a specific page on your website you want to send them over to. And of course, last but not least, we can again change the button text or whatever it is we want to change. If you do not redirect away from the form, we have our thank you for your time page down here, which is the submission form after you have submitted. So here they will land. And right now, just says thank you for your time.

You can, of course, fill out whatever it is you want to fill out. Show a logo, or what you want this specific page to look like. I’m fine how the survey look now. So what I will do is that I will preview it. And that would do up here and here we have the option to preview it on desktop, on tablet or on mobile to see how it transforms down to the different screen sizes. Of course, again, we can change up here whether we want it to be classic, we want it to be conversational.

Or we want it back to be just like one question at a time, which I personally like. And then you can basically try to fill out the entire form to see how it feels like if there is some stuff you want to change, it works very smoothly, and you can always see what it is you have entered by scrolling up. Very simple. Now, when you think it is done, and you want to share it, it is in here. Either you can choose your own custom domain or you can choose BlockSurvey’s domain and then publish it.

When we do publish it. As you can see here, we have a link where we can share it or we can generate a shorter link. If you want to share on Twitter or similar places in the bottom here, we can share it in multiple ways where we can do a link preview, where we can customise the link preview as exactly as you want it, we can do a custom URL, how it looks on social, if you want to share it directly on social. As a QR code or directly to an email, the next menu point up here is to integrate this is if you want this feedback form to be on your website, let’s say you have a SaaS company and you want feedback on an onboarding flow, then you could use BlockSurvey over here and then in a widget enter it on your website.

So as soon as they are done with the onboarding, they will get a widget saying how was your onboarding process is there anything we can improve and then can go through the survey of course. There are right now three different ways you can do it. You can either do it with Web hooks, with a widget or embed it. And in the example I just explained, it would be a widget that would be the best possible way for you. Furthermore, down here, you can choose whether it should be a custom embed, if it should be a full page pop up or a slider.

Again, that depends on your need and the specific need you have for this survey. The last two elements here is the responses. Here you will just have an overview of all the people who have answered your survey. And the analytics is basically how many has completed, how many stopped midways and how many didn’t even start and where they’re coming from and so much more. You can see it in real time when people start filling out the survey. Before I show you how to create utilising AI just want to show you the brandkit here, because when it is we build out these surveys, we want them, of course, to blend in within our website.

And that is also possible within BlockSurvey. So here you can choose your images and your fonts. Of course, I’m hoping to see colours as well. But to begin with, images and fonts is a great way to just get it approximately into your website space. But now to the exciting element. Let’s try and create a survey utilising AI. So when we use a here it is in beta right now here we have to choose the topic. Whether it’s just default, it can be very generic.

If it’s customer experience, employee experience, that is if you want to do an internal survey within your company and so on. For now I’ll just choose default. And then we need to do a title, for this title I will call this one sign up flow feedback because I want feedback on a sign up flow, let’s just say that. In the description I need to explain what this survey is about. So in the description I have written, give me feedback for how it was signing up for my project management tool.

What we will do now is we will generate questions and then see the results. I have now generated the questions, as you can see over here and the questions are a bit of a mix. Of course. First of all, question two here is a little bit combined with question one, where it says if you could change anything in the application, what would it be and why? So those two questions are actually together. However, I would like to just tweak it a little bit and say if you would change anything in the sign up form, what would it be and why?

Then it would be perfect. But of course I can just add it and then change that, it’s not like it needs to be perfect. And what I just did here is I click on the plus here because I liked the first question and then it would make a similar question. Where it now says what is the main reason for the above answer to best of your knowledge? Is the feedback something that others in your situation would also share? It’s a bit irrelevant, but of course it is still relevant for the first question.

I would remove the third question here and now the fourth question, which is now the third question, technically speaking, how does such a tool help with your project management? That question is more generic of using project management tool. Not so much in the sign up flow, so I’ll just delete that as well. And then the last question is, if you were using a traditional paper based method and wanted to do some revision, edit on it, please explain what you would do.

This one is also completely irrelevant, so I’ll delete that. And now I will press make more just to see if we can get some better results. Now, the third question that came in here can be quite good. I would just tweak it a little bit to say how long did it take for you to sign up for the project management tool? And then the last one is also great. Where I would again change it a little bit to say what was your overall satisfaction with signing up for the project management tool?

But for now I’ll just keep them, because in the next step, I can always tweak them when I then press create. You can see within the view, which I showed you just before and in here, I can then just make the tweaks that I was talking about before. So for instance, the last question I would change to be what was your overall satisfaction with the sign up flow? And then over here you can see it’s just right now a simple question where you can answer with text.

But of course, we can also make it more advanced if we do want to and change the question type up here to be the short text, a number, choices, matrix, multiple and so much more, the options are endless. Furthermore, which I didn’t shown you before is over here we have the views. It is a little bit like preview here, but here we can just tweak it even more saying that the desktop should have these font sizes and the mobile should have these font sizes and so much more.

So this is very specific, depending on the screen. Over here, we can change all of the messages within our survey, or if we do want to change to another language right now, they do only have five languages English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and French, but hopefully they will add more soon enough. Then we have our themes here, and this was a little bit what I was talking about before. I would like to have this in our brand kit, but of course, here we can change to exactly the colour that we are using because we can just change it and then enter our colour code right here.

So this is great to see because then we can really narrow it in to look exactly how it will be on our website. Furthermore, we can change the fonts. Of course, this will be taken from the brand kit, if you do have a brand kit. We can choose the variables here, if we do want to tweak that, maybe you’re working with UTM variable codes, you can enter them in here. In here in notification we can enable whether we want to have an email notification every time there is a lead.

This can be a great way to just ensure that you always save the lead, for instance, especially in the future, when they are hopefully going to add integrations. It’s great to get an email every time to check that the integration went through the right way because a lot of stuff can happen. And the last point down here is the settings where you choose stuff like do you want to show the question number, do you want to enable question randomisation?

If you just want the questions to be in a randomised order, if you want to predict the question type based on what the question is, as you just saw before, the question type was jumping a little bit up and down when I was writing and so much more within here. Of course, you can add the privacy policy, but that is basically it within BlockSurvey. And of course, all of your data here is built on top of a blockchain, which means that it is completely encrypted and you’re one hundred percent sure that your data is secure.

Taking a look at the pricing structure within BlockSurvey as you can see here, they have four plans, whereas you can get started completely free. Of course, they do only offer 30 responses, which means that you can only test out BlockSurvey with this pricing. If you do want more, you can sign up for the next plan, which only costs 8 USD, and then you get three thousand responses. So that is very generous when you look at the price compared to the responses you get.

Furthermore, of course, all of the features also differs depending on your plan. And if you do want unlimited responses, then you need to get the highest plan. Taking a look at the competitors, it reminds me a lot of TypeForm, not only the way you answer the surveys, but also the way you build up the survey. Of course, they distanced themselves a little bit from TypeForm by having this AI element. But when it comes to integrations, BlockSurvey is again falling a little bit behind by Typeform.

I would like to see in the near future that they would add some integration so we could send all of this data into Encharge or ActiveCampaign or whatever it is we’re using to work on our leads, because you are often using surveys to do specific things. So whether it’s product feedback or it is that they need to sign up for an ebook or something similar, we want to utilise this data and work more with it. So integrations is something that I really think would put them up against TypeForm because they have the encryption part and the AI part.

So by having the integrations, they are definitely ahead of TypeForm. Now, the future within BlockSurvey is quite exciting, of course, I’m hoping for integrations, but they’re working on a Stripe integration within the survey so you can do paid surveys or whatever it is you want to integrate, Stripe to. Furthermore, they’re adding more answer options so you can do dropdown options and way more different types of answers that you can allow your visitors and users to do in your surveys.

This allows BlockSurvey to open up and be even more agile. Last but not least, they’re working on more widget options and much more. This means that you can add the widget as it is your survey within your chat functionality, for instance, or wherever it is you want it on your website. I was so lucky to have a talk with Wilson, the co-founder of BlockSurvey, where we discuss not only where BlockSurvey originated, but also where it’s going and what is happening within BlockSurvey.

I’m Wilson, I’m the co-founder of BlockSurvey. My experience primarily comes from I have about a decade of experience in the FinTech and Blockchain space, and currently I’m working on BlockSurvey, we’re building for about the last two years with the focus on privacy and security in mind. BlockSurvey is a platform for surveys and forms with the focus on privacy and security. Yeah, we are five developers and we have a couple of interns helping us with content and marketing.

But when did the idea start of BlockSurvey? How did that idea occurred to you?

When we venture out to start build solutions for people? So we were using the survey tools to research, primarily to do market research, and we were looking for a secure solution and we didn’t see anything available in that space. So that led us to create BlockSurvey.

When I did start to try out BlockSurvey, the first that came into my mind was a TypeForm, probably also one of your competitors. How is BlockSurvey compared to TypeForm?

I think TypeForm really redefined with respect to how forms and surveys can be enjoyable. They’ve set a standard with respect to how forms and surveys can look really beautiful. But today how BlockSurvey is focussing on the privacy and security. It’s end to end encrypted. You get to design good looking forms as well closer to Typeform.

Exactly. And I think also you have an AI module, which Typeform doesn’t have, as I am aware of. And is that AI module built on top of GPT-3 or is that something you’re running inhouse?

Yeah, so we do have inhouse AI solutions as well, but the question generator, which we recently launched in ProductHunt, it’s primarily using GPT-3, but other modules, which gives you prediction, like your question type prediction as you type, you don’t have to select a question at all. So, for example, if you type name we decide the right question component for you and if you type email, then it is auto corrected. So those are internal models.

But we continue to see or usually we go with ready-made solutions first and then. Building out BlockSurvey, what is the biggest challenge you have had as you see it?

Yeah, I think if you know the stack of BlockSurvey, it is built on top of a block chain called Stacks, which in turn runs on top of Bitcoin. So think of Stacks as a development tool which enables you to write programmes on top of a block chain, for example, creating a tighter collaborative space. Real time collaboration is a challenge which we are still trying to solve. So there are challenges like that, it’s because with privacy and security coming in, certain features are a trade-Off.

I think it’s great that you have such a big focus on privacy, especially now in the world, that it is such a big focus and we hear so much from Apple and Samsung and all the big brands that privacy is such a big focus. So I think it’s great to see that you has it as a big focus as well.

Yeah, I think the focus is primarily we wanted to help people who run sensitive surveys, especially in the spaces of mental health, wellness, therapy, activism, protest, political surveys and many, many more. Wherever there is sensitivity involved, that’s where we fit in very well.

So building out BlockSurvey what is the goal with BlockSurvey, of course, the privacy part, but the overall goal with BlockSurvey. How do you see that?

Yeah, I think we we are currently focussed on serving only the privacy niche. So I remember reading a recent research from Gartner, which says is about only 10 percent of the population cares about privacy today, but by 2023, the population size would be about 65 percent. So we really see a trend where we are at early stages, but we are looking at only the very first cohort of attracting the privacy audience, think of blocks away is like signal for surveys over the next couple of years is going to be focussed just on that.

We wanted to anker ourselves as how people see if they are looking for a privacy focussed tool in the space and then BlockSurvey has to be the go to name. So that’s what we are focussing for next year. Now we are also focussing on product experience as well, I think it is focussed more on employee experience and mental health and so on. But product experience is also a possibility. So if you’re looking at collecting feedback, you can collect.

Well, now, you also mentioned a little bit about like the long distance goal for you. But if we look into maybe just a year ahead what is for BlockSurvey the next year, we are still bootstrapped and we are looking at accelerating right now to grow our recurring revenue. So we wanted to get to a space where we want to hit 10.000 dollars in revenue. Right now we are about 3000 dollars in MRR and we are looking at 10.000 dollars in MRR sooner and then we want to accelerate from there.

So we want to see how we can bootstrap this journey and be self-sufficient. And we have a designer with us. He’s a young chap. He finished his studies from college and then he was interning with us and he went to design school to spend time for about three months, and then he learnt it. And it’s a constant iteration. It’s a never ending process. So he is helping us, his name is Sam. He’s our UX designer and he’s helping us to shape up BlockSurvey

In the end here, I hope that you have some some funny anecdotes or some experience you can share. But I would just like to hear if you have had any funny experiences, building BlockSurvey or any special moments you think are funny to mention or specific moments, it could be anything.

Yeah, absolutely, I think it all started from a hackathon, that’s a funny side of it. I think people see it seriously. We went to a hackathon, crypto block chain hackathon, and there we were using survey tools to validate ideas. Quickly we were creating questions to validate our assumptions and sending to friends and families and to social networks to validate those ideas. The very tool what we were using in the hackathon, we thought, OK, why not create this in a decentralised way where enable people to collect this data securely and savely.

And you own your ideas and insights, what you collect from the tools. So that’s the very idea, I think we sat there for about a couple of nights, we are just running high on caffeine and then we built it with the first prototype in about 48 hours, and then we presented. And then we immediately launched it on ProductHunt just to see if there’s some interest and we got little interest, we got about 170 votes in ProductHunt and few sign ups came in.

Then we we thought, OK, why not build it further and make people use it? If they like it, we can continue to build. So we got few paying customers so that motivated us to build for it.

Using BlockSurvey, I’ve been able to create beautiful surveys which I have generated by the help of AI, there’s no doubt their integrations and AI module shows BlockSurvey they are in for the future. Thank you, Wilson, for making this interview possible. And remember, you can get started today completely free using BlockSurvey. So, yeah, that is my review of BlockSurvey. I hope that you liked the video. And if you did, please give it a thumbs up.

If you have any questions to BlockSurvey or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

If you’re like me and you’re running a lot of different types of marketing campaigns, then you would like to gather everything in one place, have all of your data and results in one place. And that is why today’s product showcase is Funnelll. Via Funnelll you can, of course, build out funnels. You can get an overview of your organic traffic and you can see how your campaigns are performing all the way around. They have more than 15 integrations and even more are coming.

And these integrations is what makes it possible to get this overview within Funnelll. So without further ado, let’s dive in to Funnelll and let me show you how easy it is to set up and get an overview of your marketing. We are now inside Funnelll, and here you can either set up a new website or choose a website you’ve already set up. So of course I’m just going to choose the website Panta.ai which I have already set up. When you do go through the set up phase, you need to, of course, install their tracking code and set up the integrations you want and you need for your marketing setup.

I will show you the integrations a little bit later in this video. But first, starting out here, you can see we have a dashboard where we are shown our new visitors in the last 30 days, the conversions and our conversion rate. Furthermore, it’s showing me some recommended apps and integrations. This is not based on data. It is just some static information that they’re showing to us. But moving over here in the menu, we will start out in the tracking area.

And in here we can track actions. And this is basically my Google analytics account I’ve set up here. So we can start out by tracks, some actions, and what we can do is that we can track when a customer clicks on an element, it can be sign up for a specific form. It can be when they reach a specific page. Let’s say that you have a form and when people submit that form, then they will land on a page.

It could be that page, that could be a conversion. And the last thing is that a customer reach a page section. So let’s say you have a onepager or you have a very long page. Then when they reach it, maybe the contact section, then that could be a conversion for you or maybe a part conversion. But let’s just start out with when it is that they click on an element, we will here call this one sign up, because that’s the form I have on my website.

The category here we then need to choose is going to be subscribe. And then down here we have some advanced options. So the action here, sign up and the label is page title. So the actual page title. And this is what we will see within Google Analytics and of course within Funnelll. So we will now set up the tracking here. And then what you can see is we are now in on the website here and on the left side, we now have this funnel modal where it is so we can track specific elements.

So I wanted to track my button here. So what I do is that I say, of course, select element and then I choose the entire button right here. And then I press save stage and I have now set up my first action. And that is how easy it this it doesn’t take any coding knowledge at all. It is so easy to set up a lot of different types of actions. And the same goes for the other types let’s say you want to track a section, then we would press track actions again, go down here and say track when customer, reach a page section.

We will then call this one the footer. Just for the sake of this video, continue to website. We are already on the website, so it’s a little bit unnecessary for it to reload. We will then go down here and then we have to choose our height. I will say 50 percent and then that’s about it. So when they have reached 50 percent of my front page, then that is a conversion for me. If wanted the footer I would probably set it to one hundred percent, but now I’m just setting it to 50 percent.

And when we then go back to Funnelll, you can see that the sign up tracking that I set up is now in here. And of course, we can copy it and we can edit the goal if we want to change something. And then again, we have our settings over here where we can choose the way that we want to use Funnelll only for event tracking. And that’s if you use Google Analytics for everything else, then there is no need for Funnelll also to track all of these elements.

Of course, you can also enable e-commerce tracking if you do have a web shop and you can enable the different elements down here as well. Now, moving onto the dashboard over here is where we have our funnels, our campaigns, the organic traffic and live events. So in here we have one funnel, which is just new visitors, it is very simple. And in here we can just see a little bit of the same as on the dashboard.

We have new visitors, conversions and the conversion rate. We can then, of course, add more elements if we want to. Let’s say that we want to see sessions, we can then added to the dashboard. Now we have sessions as well, and of course, you can do that with as much as you want. You can change the period up here, and other than that, we just have the different elements down here.

We can see the overview, we can see new visitors per week. This is not correct when I do look in Google Analytics. So maybe there are some different filters in here I’m not aware of. But other than that if you want an entire new funnel, you can, of course, create a new funnel up here and say it has to be based on visitors and they need to, of course, sign up and this sign up was what we just set up before in our tracking, so I’ll now, just say, say funnel stage.

And we now have our sign up right here. If we do want to see it and this is how it looks, you can see some different elements of this now based on visitors and not only new visitors. We have to sign up tracking over here. Of course, no one has pressed because we have just set it up. And then we have, of course, the different elements down here with the visitor amount per week and the sign up, which means that how many have signed up per week, it will be down here.

It is very simple, as you just saw, and everyone can do it. Moving onto the campaigns over here, let’s say that you’re running Facebook Ads or Google Ads. Then in here you will be able to see the performance of these ads. And it’s very simple, and the setup is for everyone to do. I will not, deep dive into the campaign. But moving on to the organic search. This one is integrated with Google Search Console.

So it is pulling all of the data from Google search console. And it is here showing me that I am shown on three different keywords right now. It is showing me I’ve received four impressions from these different types of keywords and it is showing me the position over here. This one is very, very simple and I’m not sure what the plan is with the organic search. It could be great if they in the future would suggest keywords based on my keywords that I could focus on or maybe show a little bit more that people who are searching on this keyword presses on your website and sign up for your form.

It is small elements like that that really improve Funnelll as a software. The last element down here is the live events. And what we can see here is that this is my own visits where I just went in and I set up the tracking. Other than that, you can see live visits in here, what people are visiting your website, and it is very simple. Now, the last element I want to show you is their integrations, because as I mentioned in the introduction, they have so many integrations and the more integrations, the more you can collect within Funnelll.

But for my purpose, right now, I have set up Google Analytics and I have set up a Google Search Console. You can also set up a Facebook pixel, a Twitter if you run Twitter Ads, Capterra, Google AdWords, which is called Google Ads now, Quora, Facebook chat, Hotjar even, Segment is coming very soon. Slack if you want to send some notification within your Slack channels. MailChimp, Stripe, Mix Panel is also coming soon. LinkedIn Ads, If you’re running that, Okta is also possible and Hubspot last but not least.

And of course, within each of these integrations, you can then click on the specific element out here and then you can only get what you want to see. That is very simple, and that is about it within Funnelll as it is right now. As I will talk about in a moment, the future is very exciting and they’re going to utilise AI in order for you to track even better. Taking a look at the pricing structure, as you can see here on the screen, they have four plans.

Each plan differs on the amount of features they get, whereas many others, as we see, especially their competitors, their pricing plan and their pricing structure is based on the amount of page views that you have on your website. So it is great to see a different type of approach on this. Taking a look at the competitors. It is definitely Google Analytics and HockeyStack HockeyStack I have previously reviewed, which you can see up here in the corner.

Google Analytics can also gather all of the data for you, but it takes a little bit extra effort and it is not always so user-friendly for you to read. But within HockeyStack and especially Funnelll, which is today’s product showcase, you can really get an overview and see how your different types of campaigns are performing. And you can build out funnels to see whether your visitors are going through the right channels as you want them to. And if not, then of course you have to change.

The future of Funnelll is very interesting. They are, for instance, utilising AI, which means that it will help you tell you what you need to track via AI, so all of the data you already have gathered via analytics and your funnels, the AI will then utilise this until you based on all of this data, what you need to track. Furthermore, they are, of course, building more integrations to Active Campaign, Mix Panel, and even Bing and Segment and YouTube.

They are also working on adding Google Analytics version 4 support. And a lot more exciting elements are coming very soon. Now, who is Funnelll for? It is, of course, for everyone who runs a lot of different types of marketing channels. If you do only run one marketing channel, you can still benefit from Funnelll with their funnel system, their goal setup and everything in their integrations part. But other than that, it is mainly for companies and individuals who are focussed on paid marketing, SEO.

It can even be agencies who are building out marketing for their clients. Moving on to the pros and cons of using Funnelll, they have a lot of integrations. Give you an overview of your entire marketing and the support is great and responsive. However, the cons of using Funnelll is that it can be slow to use. The UX could be more intuitive and I’m missing more extensive functionality. Using Funnelll, you make it possible to get an overview of your entire marketing setup in one place, whether it’s organic or paid marketing.

This is possible within Funnelll. So what are you waiting for? You can get started today completely free with the 14 day free trial. But yeah, that is my review of Funnelll. I hope that you liked the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Funnelll or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

People often find it time consuming and tiring, making sure policies are up to date on their websites, if there was just a product, that could do all of it for you with just one click and luckily, there is. Today’s product showcase is CookieYes and via CookieYes your entire website can become not only TDP are compliant, but also CCPA compliant. So without further ado, let’s dive into CookieYes and let me show you how you, with one click can make your entire website GDPR and CCPA compliant.

We are now inside CookieYes, and this is the dashboard where we get the overview of our cookies, our scripts, our categories and the pages we have scanned. Furthermore, when people start to either decline or accept your cookie, you will start seeing some consent ratio and some recent logs about who has done what. Of course, you can’t see personal information, but you can just see what type of session ID has approved or disapproved your cookies.

Moving onto the content banner, this is what’s displayed on your website. There are some small, cool features here. We can preview our own website. I have set it up on my test website right here and down here in the bottom, we can see the cookie consent with the reject all, accept all and the preferences. And this is how it looks on your website. Out here in the menu, you can change a lot of different things. You can change the layout, the content, the colours, the cookie preferences, the behaviour.

And you can add custom CSS if you want to do something they do not support within their editor. For instance, one thing could be that you want to change the design of the buttons that you have to do in custom CSS. I personally use a lot of round buttons and in here they only have the square buttons, so I can’t change that unless I add some custom CSS. But over here in the menu we can choose whether we want our website to be GDPR compliant, CCPA compliant or both elements.

If we do choose both elements right now, we only preview the banner for GDPR. We can also preview the banner for CCPA. Down here you can see the notice how it looks for CCPA and we can change the languages, you can see here they have a good amount of different languages as you can see right here. We can always change back to GDPR if we want to do that. And for the GDPR, we can choose how the consent type should be, whether it should be implicit, it should be explicit, it should be info or custom.

But in order for your website to be GDPR compliant, it needs to be explicit. Moving on down here, we choose the how the design should look, whether it should be in the bottom, in the top, how the banner type should be, or if it should be a box type in some of the corners. It is very easy and it’s very responsive the way when we change it, as soon as we change something, you can see it on the screen.

Again over here, you can see that we can choose whether we want to see it for the GDPR or the CCPA. Again, we can choose the languages we want to preview it in the cookie notice here is where we can change the text and of course, the button here. For the read more link we can of course, at an URL and we can allow category preview on banner. We can add the read more button and you can see it’s added down here and that if we want them to read more about our cookies, our policy or similar items, it is not necessary in order to become GDPR compliant.

But you can choose to do it if you really want to, please your visitors. Moving down here we have the privacy policy and this is when they click preferences down here in the cookie banner. Then they will get this where you can see privacy policy, necessary cookies, functional cookies, analytics, performance and advertisement. And this is the way your cookies are separated into different categories, depending on the cookie. Let’s say it’s a cookie you need to have in order for the website to work, then it would be a necessary cookie.

Furthermore, over here we have the buttons, again here we can only change the text of the buttons. We cannot change the design. But still it is something hopefully that will come in the future that we can easily change the design or at least choose some different types of designs for the buttons. The last thing down here is we can choose the labels for the table here. Well, right now, just says cookie type duration and description, you can change that if you want to, but is of course not necessary right now it works fine.

Moving onto the colours over here, we can choose a lot of different types of colours. Of course, we can first of all, choose whether we want it to be light mode or dark mode. I would like this to be supportive in terms of the website. So let’s say we have a website that is dark mode and light mode. I would like to see the cookie banner change after that, but maybe it’s something we’ll see in the future.

If you do not like any of the modes you can go to, either recommended or you can go to customise your colours if you do want to. And then you can choose whether you want to customise the colours for the cookie notice, the buttons and links or of course, the category. Just to confirm again, you can change the design of the buttons, only the colours and the text. Moving on to the cookie preferences here you can see what the default consent should be, whether it should be only necessary, it should be functional analytics and so on.

But in order to stay GDPR compliant, you can only have necessary cookies, checkmarked per default. Moving on to behaviour here is how should your cookie consent behave whether you want them to revisit the content button, you can enable that here. You can GEO-target your cookie banner if you do want to, and that is if you only want to show the GDPR for UK and Europe because that’s only where you need it, this is a very cool feature. So you do not exclude your American or Indian or overall, Asian visitors that they have to go through the GDPR, even though it’s not necessarily in those regions.

Furthermore, we can choose whether we should reload the page when they do act on the consent, whether they accept, reject or what they do. We can also load analytics cookies prior to the user consent and of course, show auditable. The last element down here is custom CSS, where you can just add custom CSS. There’s not a lot of guiding around this, I would like to see some more guiding around this because we don’t know how we can style the buttons if we do want to.

But of course we can always write the support. If you do want to you can also see how your consent banner looks on iPad and on the phone. This is very cool and very necessary, in order to design the cookie consent exactly as you want. In manage cookies is where we manage all of our cookies. What I have done is I have just scanned my website and I will show you that just in a minute. But here we can see all the cookies on my website.

And what is so great about CookieYes right now is that it has described all of my cookies automatically. All I have done is just pressed scan my website and then my website just became CDPR compliant with a click on a button. As you can see here, I have some type of cookies. It’s not so many, but of course, CookieYes’ own cookies. It has described itself, but for instance, there is an Elementor cookie, which it has described for me, and there is a PHP session ID cookie up here which it has also described for me.

So I didn’t have to do anything. Furthermore, it has also added the cookies into whatever is the category for it. So we have, for instance, analytics cookies here, which is for my Google Analytics and again has also described it for me and added it to the category that this works very great. I’m very impressed by this. Of course, you can also just change the language over here if you do want to, to see how it looks on different languages.

I just checked the Danish language here and it translates great. So that’s really, really good. Of course, if you do want to, you can also add cookies manually. If it is that it scans your website and it doesn’t find all the cookies or you do have a SaaS company and you want to add cookies manually, this is also possible. Now, the cookie scanner is where it finds all of the cookies. So in here you can see I can just press scan website for cookies and then what it will do is that it will scan maximum 600 pages because that’s the plan I am on.

And within those 600 pages, it will list all of the cookies it finds. You can of course exclude URL’s or include URLs that say you have more than 600 pages and there is a specific URL or multiple URLs that you do want it to scan, you can edit here. But of course, I’ll just press scan here. And then what it will do is that it will start the scanning and then it’ll scan the entire website. And one thing I’m really looking forward to is that they will add automatic scanning, which means that this process I’m doing right here will be automated for me.

So I don’t have to think at all about my cookies or my website staying GDPR compliant. Over here in the menu, we have the content lock. This is whenever someone acts on our cookie content, whether they accept or reject, we’ll be able to see it in here. And this is also necessary in order to stay one hundred percent GDPR compliant. The last two elements is the privacy policy where it is that it builds out our privacy policy for us and we can then add it to our website.

You can see we have here company and website info. We have collection of data, how we treat the data, the disclosure of data tracking technologies, data protection. And of course, in end we can generate it and then we can preview our privacy policy. And this privacy policy will then stay up to date. And we can then added to our website in order to one hundred percent again stay GDPR compliant. It works the same way with the cookie policy.

Here I have just pressed on cookie policy. We can then press save and proceed, of course, generate. And then here we have our cookie policy. We can then copy HTML or copy the text and enter it into our website. I’m very much looking forward to that they will make an iFrame or something similar, so we don’t have to always copy and paste it into our website. When it is we add a new cookie. This will be another feature that will automate the entire process and something that will just make CookieYes even better.

The last element is the site settings because up here you can add multiple websites depending on your plan, of course, but in here you choose how many languages you want your banner to be on. Right now you can choose up to thirty one. Of course, in the future that will come more. And over here is the script you need to enter on your website. This is just like adding Google analytics or something similar to your website. It is very simple to do, but overall that’s the functionality within CookieYes.

I do really enjoy the UX and it’s easy to use and this scanning functionality is just so worth it when it comes to CookieYes. Taking a look at the pricing structure of CookieYes, it consists of four plans and they all differ on the amount of pages that is being crawled and the feature set, it can be quite confusing, but when it is that you read it, it will all make sense. Often you can get started completely free and start out with your website.

And if you do have a big website with a lot of pages, you do need to upgrade. But what is so good about CookieYes is you can get started completely free so you can actually test out the product before it is that you need to pay anything. As you can see here on the screen where I’m showing the pricing structure, if you do want to get rid of the CookieYes branding, you need to get the most expensive plan there is.

Otherwise, if you don’t mind it, then I wouldn’t recommend you upgrading because it is only to remove the branding and it is not that important. But overall, you can see that it has great features and overall it works great. And as you just saw in the walk through the design and UX is just playing so well together, taking a look at the competitor to CookieYes. It is CookieBot and the way they differs is mainly on the design overall and the communication, because CookieYes has so much automation within and it’s such a big focus for them.

But CookieBot, however, is a little bit more manual. They do have automation as well, but their design is falling a bit behind compared to CookieYes. So I’ll definitely pick CookieYes over CookieBot. When we do look into the future of CookieYes, I couldn’t get much out of CookieYes. The only thing they’re working on at the moment is the automation around scanning cookies, because how it is right now is that you have to manually go in and press the button in order to scan your entire website.

It would be great if they could just add automation around that. So maybe once a week or one time every day, depending on how many cookies you add, they would just scan the website automatically to check whether there were any new cookies or not. And then, of course, describe them if they can. And if not, then send an email so we can act on it and describe it. Furthermore, of course, they need to always stay on top of all Europe’s regulations and all the CCPA regulations in order for their products still to be valid for all of their customers.

Now, who is CookieYes for it is mainly for Web developers, blogs, news sites and overall just websites who does not have a SaaS product. It is website owners, whether it’s Webshops, service websites, blogs, everyone who just need their website to be compliant, but not the SaaS companies because it cannot bypass the login and therefore it cannot make your entire website compliant. Now, moving on to the pros and cons, using CookieYes starting out with the pros is definitely that.

It’s easy to set up, it’s easy to maintain, it’s easy to use, and it’s easy to secure your entire website. The cons, however, is that you have to manually scan your entire website and you can’t design the buttons, which means that you can’t design the entire model, which is showing up when they need to approve or disapprove the cookies. Using cookieYes I saved so much time making sure my website is GDPR compliant just with one click. So yeah, that is my review of CookieYes.

If you liked the video, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to CookieYes or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

So last week, I was doing some video marketing and I was thinking to myself, isn’t there more time efficient way of doing these videos? Because it takes so much of my time. And luckily, I found Tyle, Tyle is today’s showcase. And using Tyle, you can build marketing, converting videos in minutes. So without further ado, let’s dive into Tyle, and let me show you how easy it is to build a video. We have now jumped straight into Tyle into the platform, and it is very simple, using Tyle, we don’t have a lot of menu points.

We do have our cards out here, our home, and we can search within our cards, of course. Out here we have our templates, so if you want to build a template for a specific social media, it can be Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or in Google Ads, Twitter and so on, then it is possible in here to change the size. So let’s say that we want to build a storytelling image square for Facebook. Then we basically just click on it here and press start now.

So whatever we’re building in here will then export into whatever theme we have chosen in there before. Furthermore, over here, we can change the theme of the video if we do want it to choose a mood theme and message theme or a media theme. This is again back to the sizes. So the mood could be that we wanted it to be a little bit more of this vibe right here. Then we can change the video to, of course, use that mood and then you can see that it has now changed the video.

The last element is, of course, the message on how we want this video to become. So let’s just choose introducing a class, change it. And we now have here the video. And you can see we have a lot of slides in here and each slide is a part of the video. So let’s say we have a video of, in this case, nine slides. It could be nine times five seconds that your video would be. And of course, for each slide, you can change a lot of elements.

By clicking up here we can see the different layers in this slide. You can see the background here. If I click on it, then I can choose whether I want to change the colour, if I want to change the layout, if I want to add a border, a graduation, and then again always select layers, and then let’s say I want to change the video or the image. Right now it looks like it’s just an image, but I would like to change it.

Then I can click here on stock videos and then let’s say I like this video right here. Then I just click on it and then it will change within my card right here. And you can see it has now changed and it is running actively in the background. I think that looks very good. Moving on to the next one, let’s say that now we want to change the logo a little bit. We don’t like the logo. Then we can choose to click on my logos here.

And we don’t have any logos right now because I haven’t uploaded any. But then we can upload a logo or we can change the different elements in here. But let’s say now I want to change the content here. I want it to say something different and I want a different font. So luckily here I’m using Jost as my font, but if I’m using a font, there’s a little bit difficult to find. It’s a bit bummer that I can’t search for the font.

I have to manually look for it in order to find it. Now I’ll just click on Jost because that’s the font that I personally use. And then again, the colour is actually fine. The scale is I actually wanted a little bit bigger, I like that, and the alignment is fine. I don’t want a border, so that’s just great. The last element is, of course, our title here. This we can change the actual content before it was just the style, here we can change the content.

Let’s say this one is for our YouTube video and then press done. And then we have YouTube video and we can always go up here and preview. You can see our video right now is 33 seconds. We can then press preview and then it will play our video for us. So you saw that the background, the video in the background, it took a little bit time for it to come. That is not how it will be in the actual video.

It does come right away. But in here you can see we have our preview and we can change some different elements in here. We can zoom a little bit in if we want, we can change image, zoom out. We can choose the speed of the video. If we want it to be a little bit faster, we can set up the pace here and we can choose some different elements here as well. And when we like it, we just press done.

And this is how it works for all of these different slides. You can see we have the different layers here and this is what makes Tyle so easy to use and why it can run so well in different types of browsers, because it is not running the entire video all the time and you’re not dragging and dropping elements all the way around. You are just clicking on layers and changing the elements in each of these layers. It is very easy to use and it’s easy for the browser to run.

Even though it is saving all the time, we can still just save up here. And the last element is the export element up here. When it is we’re done, then we just press our export button right here and then it’s processing the video. We then have some different options here. We can either choose to share it over here public to the Web, or we can just copy the URL here and send it to wherever we want to send it.

Then it’s hosted on Tyle or we can choose to download it in different formats here we can download as a PDF, merge it to be horizontal merge it to be vertical. We can download as a zip file where we get all of the images or we can video render it right now. I will choose to render the video right now and then press confirm. And as you can see here, what will happen is that when I press confirm, it will come down here as the video is done, rendering. The last elements I want to show you is now we are back in the video editing part.

If we do not like this design, it’s not like we can just drag and drop it. And this is a bit bummer as well. I know this is something that’s actually making Tyle easy to run in the browser, but I would like some drag and drop options because right now the only option we can do is that we can see other designs. So by clicking the see other designs, you can see that the text and the overall feel of this specific slide is changing.

But again, I cannot choose exactly how I want it to be. I can only hope that there is a design that I like in here. They do have a lot of designs, so often you find that design you like, and in the end, of course, you need to find a design you like in order to export the video and use it for your marketing or whatever it is you need to use it for. But this is something that I’m definitely hoping they will improve in the future.

We have the size of the slide and this, of course, all of the slides because it is one video. Then we have the layout right here where it is that we choose the layout type. And again, this is the same up here where it’s basically just choosing a random layout. Here we can control it a little bit more, but still we can’t drag and drop it as I would like to. The last thing we can change down here is the colour set.

Right now it’s chosen a blue and white and a green blue ish. Of course, we can change that here, if we want it to be a little bit more royal, if we want a sky blue with some red and we can change the individual colours as well. But overall, that is the functionality within Tyle. It is very simple and there’s not a lot to show. This is how Tyle work and it does work great and you can create a lot of videos, easy, fast and they just convert.

It is so great and you can easily tweak the different types of videos after your need. Taking a look at the pricing structure of Tyle, it is very fair when you compare it to the competitors, for instance, Invideo. Using Tyle, you can get started completely free and you can use their entire interface and all of the features. The only thing you are limited on is the amount of slides that you can do within Tyle. And as you just saw, a video can contain as many slides as you would like to, whereas one slide can contain up to five seconds of video.

I feel the user interface within Tyle is very unique and often when I compare it to the competitors, they have some issues in the browser because they load so much data in the browser, which means that the browser often becomes unresponsive, whereas within Tyle they have made it very simple and it’s so easy to use. And using Tyle the pricing structure cannot be more simple. As you can see right here, they either have a free plan or a paid plan where you can choose whether you want to pay the plan monthly or yearly.

Of course, if you do yearly, you do save some money. When we do look at their competitors, it is Wave.video and Invideo, as I see it, they are the closest competitors. However, as I just mentioned within Invideo and Wave.video, even though they do have so much more functionality and we can do so much more, that also means that is way tougher for the browser to run these programmes and these softwares. So Tyle is definitely winning on the speed and the way to build the video.

However, where Tyle is falling behind is on the overall functionality. Within Tyle you can only build videos and that’s about it. For instance, within Invideo, we can convert an article into a video by just entering in the URL and the Invideo will then create an entire video based on the article. This is a very cool feature and it is something I hope to see in the future of Tyle.

And also taking a look at Wave.video we can just do so much more. We can add soundtrack’s, we can upload our own functionality and we can just do overall so much more with the subtitles and so forth. When we do look into the future of Tyle, they have some exciting elements. They are for instance, working on a magic layout, which means that you can give an input where you describe your video and then Tyle would then build out the video based on your input. This is very cool and it’s not something I’ve seen before.

The closest thing I’ve seen is Invideo where it is that they turn an article into a video, but still that is not exactly the same. So I’m very curious to see how they will build this out. Furthermore, they are working on functionality such as that, you can upload GIFs and you can download your video as a GIF. They adding voiceover, team account, brand presets and they’re working on a mobile app so you can build videos from your mobile. This is very, very exciting.

The last element they’re working on is text to video, which means that it will convert text into a video. It does sound a lot like magic layout, but you will have way more possibilities to change everything around both the layout, the elements and so much more. Now, who is Tyle for? Because it has limited functionality, but also a lot of benefits. When I look at it, I would say the Tyle is best for SMB marketeers that needs rapid videos for multiple campaigns and doesn’t necessarily have a big marketing budget.

With Tyle, you can easily cook up a couple of videos and A/B test them to see what works the best without spending hours building out different types of videos, only to see that the videos you build out is not working. It is not an enterprise product and that’s not the goal for Tyle. Therefore, it is meant for smaller companies. Moving on to the pros and cons within Tyle, starting with the pros, it is so easy to create new videos.

The UX is easy to use. They have a free plan and a huge library of assets you can use for your videos. Moving on to the cons, you can’t add voice over and you can’t control the position of the elements. And the overall functionality within Tyle is very limited right now. Using Tyle, I’ve been able to create videos at a fast pace. I really enjoy using Tyle and it’s so easy to get started and overall use their software.

I do hope they keep improving Tyle and with the future ahead, I am very excited. So yeah, that is my review of Tyle. I hope that you liked the video and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Tyle or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

I have discovered a way on how you can automate mentions on social media and on Google. With today’s product showcase, you can stay on top of mentions and issues on social media where it is that your brand is mentioned or your services. Todays product showcase is Radaar and Radaar can do exactly that for you. Using Radaar, you can monitor queries not only for your brand, but also promoting items and your services. I’m so excited to share Radaar with you today. So without further ado, let’s dive into Radaar and let me show you the endless options within Radaar.

We are now Inside Radaar, and as you can see in here, this is the overview where we have a brief overview of everything that’s going on in our account. Over here, we have some shortcuts to our different modules, we have settings. Here we have notification if we have set that up and if we want to receive notifications, there is a task module, which I’m going to show you in a moment where we have a brief overview here.

In the bottom it’s mainly about learning and support and WIKI. But let’s jump over here, because a brief thing I just want to show you before we go to the inbox is that you can have multiple subscriptions. So even though it is not meant for agencies, you can have multiple subscriptions, whereas one subscription is equivalent of one of your clients. But without further ado, let’s go to the inbox. In the inbox is where we receive everything, whether we get a mention on Twitter or a message on Twitter or message on Instagram soon, or a comment on YouTube or whatever social media you’ve integrated, they will be listed here.

So you are always sure to stay on top of whoever tries to contact you and at least giving them a response to whatever it is that they are asking you for, for each of these mentions or comments or whatever it is. You can see we have messages in here. And here we can either choose to reply to the message, to the comment or to the mention. We can just simply give it a like. And we also have quick reply.

Here you can create a quick reply. If there’s something you often tell your customers or whoever it is that’s trying to contact you, then it’s easy for you to fast use these replies. But other than that, there is a lot of filtering options over here. You can set the different ones as waiting here, which means that I need to act on them. Then we have the start ones where it is so you can start the different messages that you want to remember.

We have the archived one, sent and if there are some we have deleted. So the sent one are of course, the one that we have sent back. Furthermore, down here, we can filter our messages, post, comments, reviews or mentions. That’s the type of the inbox element. Then we can filter on the different channels here. You can see we have Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. And the last element is sources wherever this source is, whether it’s Facebook or Instagram in this case.

Now, let’s go over to my most exciting element, which is the monitoring element. In here we have a lot of queries and each of these queries are monitored through Radaar, which means that you can see my queries. Here are my different types of YouTube videos. This is the products I have reviewed. And if we, for instance, take LongShot.ai, we can see everywhere it has been mentioned, even my own one here, you can see on Twitter and then I can go in and reply to them and promote my YouTube video to them if they want to see it of course.

It is very simple, but it is so powerful and its one of my favourite features within Radaar. Again, we have the filtering options, as we saw from the inbox up here. We have our queries and again, our sources. If we do want to set up a new monitoring query, we do it down here. And you can see we need to choose the keyword. Let’s say for this video, I would enter Radaar, and then we need to choose the channels that we want to monitor on.

In this case, it has chosen Google search, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter we will just keep it at this and then excluded keywords is extremely important to get relevant results because if you just get all results, you get a huge bunch that you can’t use for anything. So be sure to use these excluded keywords. In my case, because I do reviews, I don’t want to comment on other reviews because that’s not relevant for me. That’s not the target group I have.

So I will enter review as my excluded keyword. And then there is banned sources. For instance, if there is a website that keeps popping up that I can’t interact with, then I can ban it here. Again languages, what languages want to focus on right now it is a bit limited. I would like to see more languages in here. And another thing I would like to see is the possibility to exclude my own profiles, because as you can see in the background here, here are my own profiles where I’m talking about this product and that’s not relevant for me.

I don’t need to act on that. So I would really like to be able to exclude my own profiles on whatever it is. But when it is that we get these monitoring and these mentions and whatever it is, then it is quite simple. We can click on it, and then we can see whatever it is. Then we can open it up right here to see it on the website or wherevet it is that it has found this and then we can act on it there.

You can also comment on it in here or add some notes or whatever it is we want to do. This is definitely the most powerful module within Radaar. And for each of all of these monitoring or mentions, we can act on it, so we can say, OK, this monitoring result right here is a positive one will now set this as positive or negative. And these elements that we set will be added into our reporting, which I will show you just in a moment.

Now, moving onto the scheduler module. This is where we schedule all of our posting. So you can see here I made a draft yesterday where it is that I did set up that it needs to post to these different channels, I set up the date up here with a time interval, there is, of course, training videos for basically everything within Radaar. Then I could choose whether I want to upload an image, a video, a gallery and link a text or a story which is coming very soon.

Then I can add a caption. And down here you can see the limitations for the different social media. And of course, Twitter is very limited. So if we do want to post to Twitter, we need to keep it under 280 characters. Furthermore, down here, we can choose whether we want to shorten the URLs to keep the characters low if we want to receive notification whenever it is that it’s posted as a confirmation, that’s pretty nice.

We can choose whether we want to chain comments, if we want to tag someone, if we want to add a location. This is mainly for Instagram and Twitter, hashtag manager, and if you want to control the image sizes. The hash tag manager is really cool, in here you can see what hashtags has a lot of traction right now. You can see the top twenty-five here or you can search on tags. So if I for instance search on project management, you can see that, that’s a tag that has 970K tweets right now.

So this is very powerful and it’s a great way to see whether the tags you’re using actually has some traction on it. And in the bottom here is basically where you set it up, whether you want to approve it or update it in this case, if you’re not ready to post it yet, it is very simple and you can schedule as many as you want. And which I’m also going to talk about later on this video is the future is they are going to add a CSV import, which is going to make this a lot easier.

Now, moving on to the analytics module over here. In here, we can set up different types of analytics reports we want. And as I mentioned within the monitoring, when it is that we choose positive, negative or neutral, here we can see an overview of our monitoring. So let’s say that you are monitoring only your brand. Then you can basically see whether your brand has a positive vibe or negative vibe. And of course, if it does have a negative vibe, you need to change something in order to get it over to the positive side.

Furthermore, I have added another monitoring, where it shows by sources where my monitoring queries are mentioned the most. And as you can see here, it is mainly Twitter, then it is Google, YouTube and then very little Instagram. It is very easy to set up these reporting, and you can customise them exactly to your need. So you can see we can base analytics and reporting on conversations, monitoring, publishing, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. And within each of these categories, we can choose whether it should be on in these three first one’s time line by sources or if you want, by rates.

The publishing is mainly post and timeline within Facebook. It is our followers views, engagement and so on. The same with Instagram and Twitter. And within Twitter we can also make a competitor overview here. Now, I just added it for fun, but you can see we can add as many as we want, and we can always control it up here with the period of time. This is the most powerful modules I just show you. They do also have some smaller modules, for instance, a passbook which you can use for a password manager.

I personally use Onepass for this, but you can use Radaar for this as well. Then they have some utilities in here where they have an URL shortener, in this way, you can see how many is clicking on your different types of links. This is very cool, and they keeping it within Radaar. So it’s easy to monitor and it’s easy to add into the reports I just shown you. And then they have an entire task module.

But this is very basic. You can see we have our kanban board here. We have our tasks, and we can open up a task where we can add some description to it. If you want to assign users for it, if we want to give it a colour. It is very simple, as you can see here. I would much rather see maybe an integration to either Monday.com, Asana or similar products, because with them having it in here, I’d rather want them to focus on the social media part, scheduling, monitoring, rather than them adding a task manager module, which we are maybe not going to use because we already use so many different types of software.

But that is mainly the platform, they do also have a lot of help sections, the billing, and they have a fast and responsive support, which gives you answers within an hour or so. It’s a really great and it’s easy to use Radaar and you can see the design is just top notch. Taking a look at the pricing structure within Radaar, it is a quite cheap alternative when it is we compare it to the competitors. Their plans within Radaar differs on both functionality and the amount of social profiles that you can use when it is you choose your profile.

You can start out using Radaar completely free with some limited tools. Otherwise, if you do like Radaar, you can always upgrade where their cheapest plans start at only 5 USD. They do have three different plans where the biggest plan, of course, has all of the functionality. Taking a look at the competitors, it is HootSuite, Buffer and Falcon. All of them are a bit more expensive than Radaar. But Radaar, of course, moving into the market on a cheaper price, so they can get a share of the market.

But when we look at HootSuite, Buffer and Falcon, they do have more functionality and more extensive functionality that Radaar doesn’t have yet, but it is on the roadmap within Radaar. So that is very exciting. And when we compare all of these four together, none of them have TikTok yet. And TikTok is really a market that’s blowing up at the moment. So whoever gets in on that first will get a huge share of the different users that use these social media management programmes.

Radaar is mainly focussed on companies and individuals who are focussed on social media. Furthermore, with the monitoring feature, they are opening up to a whole new target group. It is a very powerful tool, especially for influencers, because they can monitor their name to see wherever they are mentioned and always react on it to stay on top of it. At the moment, it’s not a tool for agencies because they do not have agency functionality. However, it is something they are working on and it is something that we’ll will see in the future.

If you do want to use it for agencies, you can do this. It is possible, but you can’t do analytics and reporting where it is that you put your white label logo on. You have to do that yourself. Radaar is definitely a free way of advertising your products, your services and your name. Let’s say that you have a project management tool. You can then put up a monitoring search query on project management or project management tool or project management software and then monitor them.

And every time it’s mentioned on Twitter, LinkedIn or similar, then you can act on it and you can say, hey, check out my tool right here. It can solve whatever problems you have within project management. Moving on to the future of Radaar, we have some quite exciting things, both in the near future and further ahead. In the near future they’re working on CSV import for the scheduler, so you can import a CSV file containing one thousand different posts you want on social media and then automatically they will be scheduled for you.

This is a very powerful feature. Furthermore, they’re working on multiple integrations, whereas Google My Business and Instagram direct messages. Google my business will be possible to use for the inbox, for the monitor and the scheduling so you can schedule news on your Google my business profile. When we do look further ahead in the future of Radaar, it is also very exciting. They’re working on even more integrations. And an exciting thing is they’re working on an algorithm that can tell you when the best time for your target group is to post on social media.

And of course, it differs from Twitter to Instagram to LinkedIn. So this will also be a part of the algorithm. This is very exciting because the more data they gather, the more precise this algorithm will be. Furthermore, they’re working on a mobile app so you can manage all of your social media accounts on your phone so you can always be remote and working on your social media on your phone. This is very exciting. The last exciting element they’re working on is a Chrome extension.

Via this Chrome extension, you can schedule as many posts as you want wherever you are on different websites. So let’s say you are on an exciting website and you see some news which are relevant for your industry. Then via this Chrome extension, you can just schedule a post right away. This will really help us be more efficient in the way that we work. To give you an overview of Radaar, have collected some pros and cons, so starting out with the pros, you can always stay on top of mentions, which means you can act fast.

The support is fast and responsive within Radaar. They have the most known social media integrations. The platform is easy to use and the user experience is great. They have custom reporting for you to build your own reports, and they have powerful free tools that you can use just to get started. Taking a look at the cons, they do not have TikTok, which is a market that’s blowing up. It’s not always it finds all of the mentions on the Web.

It does not have agency, or white label features, the monitoring queries can be quite expensive if you need more than what’s included in your plan. And I feel they’re missing a training feature for their monitoring module. Now, I have used Radaar for promoting my YouTube videos. What I’ve done is that I have set up a mention for each one of the products that I have reviewed here on YouTube. And every time the product was mentioned, then I manually went in on whatever social media it was or if it was Web.

And then I have commented on it, talking about my review of the product or whatever I could support with. I know you can automate a lot of this with Texau and Texau is another product I’ve reviewed, which you can see up here. However, based on my testing, it’s not always that I got the results that I needed and I really need consistency in the way that I reach out. Of course, you should set up a mention for your name, but if you have products or keywords relevant for your business, then monitor them and promote your business.

As mentioned earlier, let’s say that you’re a craftsman and you do painting well, then put up a lot of monitoring around the word painting so you can always reach out and offer your services. So, yeah, that’s my review of Radaar, if you liked the video, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Radaar or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching.

Let’s catch up on the next one.

What if there is a software that can help you entertain your visitors and gather leads at the same time, this is possible via quiz marketing. Todays product showcase is Marquiz, and via Marquiz you can set up so many different types of quizzes, being creative and in a beautiful design that really draws in the user. So without further ado, let’s dive into Marquiz and let me show you some quizzes you can set up in order to gather leads. When we sign in to Marquiz, this is the first page that we see and this is the dashboard where we have an overview of our projects and our quizzes. Right now, I only have two quizzes here.

We can have the create button up here where it is that we can create either a quiz or a project. So the project is kind of a folder structure. Here we can just call this one YouTube video just for the sake of this video. And then we have our project down here with YouTube videos. And then we can, of course, add videos if we want to, move this quiz here to the project again, if we want to and so on.

This is just a great way to gather your different types of quizzes into one project and then you have your project leads up here. Where it is that it shows all the leads for all the quizzes within your project. Now, within Marquiz, it is quite simple to use. We have three buttons for each quiz that we create. We have our leads button here which shows us all of our leads. Right now, there are no leads in this quiz.

And then we have the edit button where we have access to all of the questions within the quiz. And then we have the analytics module, which I do not have access to right now. But here we can see, as you can see here, how many is starting, how many is ending and what the conversion rate is. It is quite simple, but it is still great knowledge to have. When it is we edit a quiz, we have the same view as when we create a quiz.

Down here we will always have a view of how the quiz is looking, the animations and everything. And over here in the menu, we control the start page where we have in this case, we have an image. We can also have a video how the elements should be, the format, whether it should be a start page, a landing page, the information on the page. And over here we have the questions within the quiz. I will show you all of this more extensive when we set up a quiz.

We have the outcomes in here where it is that you can say that if they choose option B, option C and then option D, then they need to have this specific outcome. Then we have the lead form settings, which is what we see in the end, where it is that you ask for specific information from the person who have taken the quiz. And in the quiz installation, you can either choose to use the Marquiz link that you see right here, or you can actually also install it on your own website, either as an auto opening, website blog, a banner, a button or a widget, which is a new element.

It works very well. Furthermore, down here, we have our extras where it is that we can show some discounts and some bonuses. Then we have the design part where we choose our colours. Overall, this is often the same as your website. We can also choose the fonts. They do not have a lot of fonts, but you can always write them to add your specific font that you use. Then you can add button styles, your progress bar style and so on.

Now an important element is the integrations here. Here you can choose if you want notifications, if you want to show your Google Analytics on the quiz or your Facebook pixel or TikTok. This is often if you send traffic from Facebook or Google let’s say, into this quiz, you want to be able to see what ad have they clicked on and did they go through all the way to the end in the quiz. Furthermore, down here, we have Webhooks and custom code.

If you want to add some custom code to the quiz. A webhook is often if you want to send information from Marquiz into something specific. And then, of course, down here we have Zapier, Pabbly and iIntegrately. And this opens up endless possibilities to integrate Marquiz into whatever programme you want. Of course, you need a user on the integration that you choose to use. The last element down here is where you choose the quiz interface. You choose the currency, privacy policies like cookie banner.

In here you can see that they have quite a lot of languages within the app, and they are always constantly working on adding more and the same with currencies. They have, of course, a lot of the currencies that we use. They do not have Danish kroner, which is the one I use. Maybe they’ll add it in the future, who knows? But now let’s try, and set up our first quiz. What we do is we say create quiz, and what I often do is I don’t like to start from a blank, so I often choose a quiz design that I like.

And you can always preview the quiz here in order to see how it looks like. And if you like the view and the flow of the quiz, and if you do so, you can, of course, just test it a little bit here. But if you like, then you just close down and then you choose it by clicking select. We will call this quiz YouTube video. And then again, you have the preview down here. Then we can choose what type of design we want, whether we want the standard design expanded or centred.

And every time we do a change, you can see down in the corner that it actually changes whatever it is that you’re doing. So we have the image here of a guy drinking a cup of coffee. We can choose the elements here on how they should look. Right now, they’re centred, I like that. Then we can choose whether it should be a start page or a landing page. If it is a landing page, then you have some more information here.

The start page is more simple. That is basically just get started with the quiz right now. Moving on to the questions part here, you can see with already the predefined questions from the quiz that we created, but we can add more down here. And when it is that, we add a question we need to choose. Whether it should be an answer options, it should be options with images, image based options, emojis, input fields, dropdown, a date, a slider, a inter page or file upload.

So with all of these options, it’s possible for your viewers to do basically everything. If you want someone to schedule an appointment with you, you have the date interval right here. If you want someone to upload their resume or something similar, you have the file upload right here. If you want someone to give feedback to you based on an action they have done or your product or your service, you can do that with emjois in order to create a good experience for the user.

So I have now added three options awesome, great and bad. And then all we can do is we can click here, and then we can change the emoji that we want combined with the answer. So I have chosen a very happy one for glad the great one should maybe just be a little bit more neutral. And then we have the bad one, which would be a very sad smiley right here. So now we have the three options. And as you can see over here, while I’m working on this specific question, it is showing me down here and this is so great because then I always know the changes I do.

How do they look? Do they look good? Do they look great? Or should I just completely remove it? If you do want to, you can also add correct and incorrect test format, where it is that they need to choose the right correct answer in order to get a certain amount of points. It can be that it is an actual test that they need to get a certain amount of points in order to pass the test. This is also possible within Marquiz.

Furthermore, you can make a consultant which you give a picture and name and even a job title, and this consultant will then help the person who’s taking the quiz to get through the quiz in the best possible way, because for each question you can do consultant tips. So if I, for instance, press edit down here on our emoji question, you can see we have consultant hint here. And if I write something in here, then the consultant, which we will make just in a moment, will say whatever it is that I write here.

So I have now added the consultant hint and I have filled out the information for the consultant. Moving on to the outcomes out here, we can choose a lot of different elements we want to use. First of all, we need to choose whether the outcome should come before the lead form. The lead form is where we gather information about the visitor we can choose if it should come after or it should be sent to the email. Let’s say that you’re building out a price, but you don’t want to show it to the user because you want their email so you can send them emails.

Then you can say to them, hey, the price is now done write in your email here and then I’ll send you the price. Then you get their email, of course you need consent from them. And then down here we have the email settings and the content that we build out, which will be sent in the email. And then, of course, for each question we have down here, we can add, of course, a lot of content.

But down here in the condition. So we can say that show this specific content if a certain condition is met and especially if you’re building out a price. This is very, very important because if the price is too high and you don’t necessarily want to show it or you’re just insecure about the price, you can just say, hey, don’t show this because the price is higher than X. Therefore, show this text instead where it is that you describe to them, we couldn’t calculate a price, but please call us and then we’ll talk about it.

Moving on to the lead form settings here again, take a look at I just changed to lead form settings. And down here in the example, it has also changed. The lead form is where we gather information about whoever is taking the quiz right now. And every time I enable a field here, you can see down here that it is also changing and the different types of input fields are very customisable. And you can see I just added phone number and here you can see we need to choose the country code for our phone number and then we can press next if it is that we’re taking the quiz, but I have added name phone, you can also add custom fields here.

In this case, it could be address if it was for a dentist, for instance. Furthermore, down here, we can send results to social networks, send to a chat bot, and we can choose what social network it should be. We can use whether we want to use the phone mask or not. This is where we choose the country code. Maybe it can be for some target groups, difficult to choose their country code, and then we can just disable it.

Furthermore, down here, you can see we have first step and second step. And that’s because the second step contains the email that I’m asking. Again if I roll up in the top here, you can see the second step is the email. Over here we have name, phone and custom field. I can also move the custom field to the second step if I want to. Again, this is very customisable, and with the future coming up, which I will talk about in the moment, we’ll see that it will become even more agile.

And of course, in the end, we can choose whatever success message should show after it is that they have filled out the lead form. The last step is the quiz installation. You can choose either to use the link up here where we just press copy and then we can share this link with whomever we want or whoever we find is relevant for this quiz. Or we can choose to install it on our own website. First, we just need to choose what type of installation we want on our website.

Let’s say we just want a button. Then we click on the button, and we can, of course, customise it again because it is very customisable and then we can choose whether we want it rounded, shadow if we want the quiz auto open or similar items. So you can see here the preview actually is a little bit in the way. We can always close it here. Furthermore, you can also see how it looks on the mobile or we can go full screen.

But when it is that we have chosen that we don’t want it to auto open, we just want it to be like this. And then we say next, then we have the installation code here and the button code. The button code is the actual button. So you need to place that wherever you want the button to show. And then we have the installation code, which is the actual script. Down in the bottom here we can check whether you installed it, correct or not.

The last elements down here have shown you already. It is quite easy to set up the different integrations. Whether you want to use Web hooks, you want to add some custom code or you want to use Zapier, Pabbly or Integrately. The last two elements I want to show you are down here because it is actually storing all of the different versions that we do. So every time we do a change, it’s save the version, so we can always go back if we did a change that we actually regret.

It is a small feature, but it is very, very cool and it’s very, very useful. The last element is down here where we can change the test values and the test values are used for the preview we see over here in the corner. If you do want it to be closer so you can always press preview and then you can actually test your quiz and try it out to see whether you want to change some stuff, add more questions or maybe some more help sections or some more help text in order for the quiz to be easier to get through. But overall, that’s the functionality within Marquiz.

Taking a look at the pricing structure of Marquiz, they are quite expensive, however, you do also get a huge feature set as you just saw. The pricing within Marquiz is depending on the amount of leads that you want to gather. So for every one hundred leads or more, you need to upgrade your plan in order to be able to gather more leads. This is a very simple pricing. There is only one thing that they differ on and on all plans to get all of the features within Marquiz.

So it is very simple, whereas when we compare to the competitors in the industry of quiz marketing, it is quite different. For instance, SurveyMonkey and Typeform. They are depending more on users and on leads. For instance, Typeform is only on users and leads whereas survey monkey is only on users. Comparing to the competitors Typeform is definitely the leader in the market. The options and the possibilities within type form is just so high up there and the amount of integrations you get within Typeform are just so great.

You can also get started completely free by trying out Typeform. I am a big fan of Typeform, especially because of the integrations, because every time there is an integration to a product that I use or you use, we will end up saving time that we don’t have to transfer leads from one programme to another programme. SurveyMonkey, however, is a bit expensive, both compared to Typeform and to Marquiz. However, SurveyMonkey is the company that’s been in the industry for the longest time.

But if you ask me, I feel they have fallen a little bit behind. I do feel on the design part, Marquiz and Typeform are way up there where a SurveyMonkey are a little bit behind, even though they have that big amount of experience. And when we take a look at SurveyMonkey and compare it to Marquiz. SurveyMonkey do still have a lot more features. But in my opinion, they don’t play so well together with the design.

And when it is that we work with users and visitors, the design plays such a big part because the design is the part that needs to draw in the user and play with the user in order for the user to go from step one until they have filled out all of their information. And this is not only a quiz marketing, you can also use Marquiz for scheduling appointments or similar items that you want to gather in, it’s not only for leads, so the possibilities and the options are endless using Marquiz.

Now who is Marquiz for? Marquiz can be used for a lot of different elements, not only gather leads but also to schedule appointments. So if you have a car workshop or you’re a dentist, you can also use Marquiz in order to get information about your patients before it is that they schedule an appointment. Often you can also, based on their answers, give them an answer up front, so they don’t have to schedule an appointment. This shows a lot of proactivity.

However, my is definitely meant for marketing and to gather leads, even though they shows a lot of examples of what you can use it for elsewhere. Marquiz is definitely a different approach on the whole marketing aspect. Often we just see these forms, where you have to fill out name email and then you get some e-book and this is the old way of doing it. Whereas quiz marketing where you feel it’s very personalised, this is a great way to really draw in the user and make them feel that they are a part of it.

And with all of the integrations within Marquiz and the more integration they’re adding in the future, I just see Marquiz being for more and more types of companies. Taking a look at the future of Marquiz, it is quite exciting. They’re working on improving the overall platform and making it more agile so you can do more things with less elements. Often when you work within Marquiz, you often are blocked with elements that you can’t really use or you can really utilise the full potential.

So I think by them opening up the platform, it will be much easier, and we’ll have so many more options in order to build great quizzes. They are also working on a Google Sheets integration and a lot other types of integrations, and these integrations will just help us automate and optimise our workflow. So this is really great to see. Furthermore, they’re adding a calculator module which you can use within the quizzes. So let’s say that you’re building out a price calculator.

You can do this now when it is that they have the calculator module, because then based on the choices and the options that you give to the different visitors and based on what they’re choosing, you can then presented with a price, and then they can sign up in order to get a conversation with you. So this is just another great module in order for you to gather leads. Overall, my experience using Marquiz has been great. The support has been responsive.

And by using Marquiz, I have really been able to enable a lot of options in order to gather leads. It is a completely new way in order to just gather leads. And it’s so great to get away from that traditional form that we see on all types of website. And the design within Marquiz is great, it is so easy to use. The user experience overall is great both for me building the quiz, but also for the visitors going through the quiz.

And when it is that it is so easy and so drawing for them, it often ends up with them signing up in the end, or at least giving the information in order for me to contact them. You can really see that design plays a huge role in order to gather the amount of leads that I want. So, yeah, that’s my review of Marquiz. A great quiz marketing tool in order to gather leads. I hope that you liked the review.

And if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to Marquiz or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.

When it is that we run marketing, we want to be able to measure everything from a visitor enters your website until they leave your website. We want to be able to measure that entire process, however, it can be difficult, though, today’s product showcase, can help you with that. Today’s product showcase is CrowdPower. CrowdPower is mainly focussed on SaaS companies. However, I will show you a lot of examples where you can use it as a consulting business or even a blog.

So without further ado, let’s dive into CrowdPower and let me show you how to set it up. Signing into CrowdPower, this is the first screen that we see, and this is basically the getting started screen. In here, we can get started using CrowdPower, and we have some options here because we need to install the script in order for CrowdPower to track our visitors. Do remember about GDPR in this case. However, taking a look at this, you can see we have a front end and a back-end. We have the Beacon API for the back-end, and we have a simple JavaScript tag for the front-end.

And already here you can see that it does require some coding knowledge in order to really take the full potential of CrowdPower. However, you can still use it without coding or adding events and so on. You can just use it in a more simple way and I will show you how. But as you can also see down here, you have integrations to Segment to Stripe and to Zapier. And we all know that to Zapier it opens up for so many thousands of integrations.

So that’s really great to see. Now, moving on over here in the menu, we have our projects, the platform, automations, broadcast to send out emails, templates and settings. Furthermore, the documentation and the feature requests. In the projects I have right now, one project again Panta.ai, which is the website I use for testing. If I do select this project, we get in here, and we can now see the customers within this project.

Already here it’s important to notice that you only see the customers, which means that if someone enters your website and you haven’t set up the right coding for this, they won’t be added in here. It is only when you add the code for creating a new customer, which I will show you in a moment that the customer will enter in here. Now, clicking on a customer in here, you can see that we will be able to see events, recent page views, segments it has been added to in this case, active customers, tags we can use in order to differentiate between the different customers, traits which can be anything from the name email, last seen, IP and so much more.

Again, it is integrated up to Stripe, so we will be able to see charges the full amount that they have paid to us and so much more. Over here on the events, we can see what they have done on the website when we have set up the tracking correct. It’s very important that we have this one code which I will show you in a moment in order for CrowdPower to track correct. If we do want to edit the traits, we can do that in here where we can see the first name is Phillip in this case.

The email, first seen, last seen, signed up and so on. In here we can change all of that. Furthermore, we have the page views where we’ll be able to see all the page views for this specific customer. Now, let me show you the code. See, in order to initialise CrowdPower, all you have to do is you have to set in this code, you see right here. Of course, you need to enter your project public key, which you find in the settings and then the tracking can begin.

However, this one down here, you see identifying a customer is very important because otherwise the customers won’t work in the same way. If I don’t add this code, the website won’t know that it’s me that is entering the website and then it won’t be able to attach all of the events that I do to my profile within CrowdPower. So that’s very important. I do hope in the future that they will remove that because I know via Encharge.io this is possible.

And the same with Active Campaign. Now back to the platform here, out here we have segments. This is basically where you can differentiate the different customers into categories. Here you can see we have active customers, loyal customers, new customers and slipping away. And we can set up a lot of automation’s and tags and segments that does that when they go into slipping away. It’s because we have a lot of different properties and tags that shows us that this customer is actually slipping away.

And we maybe need to focus a little bit extra on this customer. For instance, in here in active customers, you can see that we have the rules saying that they need to be last seen within the last 90 days, and they need to last message us in the last 90 days as well. And when they do that, then they enter this segment, which I have done here. I’m last seen four days ago, which means that I am in this segment.

In here, I would like to be able to choose or and and. So let’s say that these two I just want one of them to be fulfilled. I would like to add an OR but if I want both of them to be fulfilled, I would like to add an and. Moving onto the traits in here, you can see, of course, all of the different traits we have on the customers. You can add more if you have custom traits like a specific user id or a specific information you want to keep on the customer.

You can add it in here. It’s just important that you also in your backend or in your front-end, add some piece of code that make sure to fill it out within CrowdPower. And creating a trait is very simple. We can create a trait here saying user.address, create the trait and then of course it will be down here. Edit it and then you can see we need to say whether It’s a string, a number, a boolean or a date, we need to say the format, the description and where it needs to be visible here in case it will be visible everywhere.

Moving on to the events, this one is very important, especially if you are a consulting business or blog. Because an event can be that they sign up for a newsletter, or they download an e-book or something similar. So an event here in this case is a campaign goal is met, they signed up, the resubscribed to a campaign, they logged in and so on. So this is a lot of the events which is pre created in your profile within CrowdPower, and these events without the piece of code on your website are just useless.

But we can add one here saying newsletter sign up. And as you can see, it’s basically just a name a colour and a description, save event here. And then we have it within events. This I will show you later what we’re going to use it for. Furthermore, we have the tags here where I have added one tag, seven best AI tools, because that’s a newsletter that I have, which means that every time someone signs up for a specific newsletter, they will get this tag.

And I can then see how many signed up for this specific newsletter. It is very simple to create a new tag, it is just a tag name. And all of these elements I’m showing you here will all be combined in the automations, which I will show you just in a moment. The last one down here is the exports, if we want to, of course, export our customers. Now, moving on to the exciting thing is our automations.

You can see here I have one automation already, which is signing up for an ebook. It is not a drag and drop like we see it in Active campaign and in Encharge.io, I do really like the visual appeal of that. Here it is just four steps we need to go through, where my trigger here is that they need to perform an event and this event is campaign goal met, for this case I will actually change it to newsletter sign up.

It can only be repeated once. I’ll now press, save and continue. What needs to happen is that we need to add the tag seven best tools and then we need to wait for 24 hours. And the goal is of course the seven best tools needs to be added because that happens in action. So that is our main goal and it needs to happen within seven days. In our options down here, we can say that only the new customers are able to limit this.

This can be that we’re running some discount campaign or some new campaign towards new customers. Then we can limit it here. But you do not have to choose to use it here. And then, of course, we can use smart sending, which means that their algorithm will choose to send out the email whenever they think it is the smartest time to do so. Now I will now set up a new automation. I have called it YouTube video, and we have to choose an event again.

It can be many things, it can be that they performed an event, can be that they visited a page, a specific page we wanted them to can be that they got a new tag from another automation or a tag was removed from them again from another automation or something like that with a segment for this case I’ll just say visited a page. So here we will say that if they visited the page, let’s say, newsletter, it can only be repeated once.

Then something needs to happen, now what needs to happen is that we need to give them a tag, and then we need to give them an email. So we sent them an email. Again, you need to set up your email settings in order to really use CrowdPower to be able to send out emails without them ending in spam. In the email in here, we can choose to use variables if we want to send to the customer, really personalise the email, we can do that as well.

We can use all of the variables you see right here, it is hi, customers first name. And if it’s not there, then it’ll just say hi there. I am name that’s my name, the founder of my company and so on. So it is very simple. And as you can see over here, we can choose a lot of different elements for this paragraph. You can see over here that it is basically drag and drop.

So if I want to add an image in here, I just drag it over and then I choose whatever image I want to add to this email. We can always close down the section over here where we have our settings and our blocks because the entire email is built out of blocks, and we can add a lot of elements like we have seen it from MailChimp, of course, the social icons, if we want to do that and so on. It is quite simple.

I will just press save for now and I’ll now move on to our goal. And the goal is that they need to have visited the page, of course, again, newsletter sign up. They need to do it within seven days. So this was this will, of course, be fulfilled by the trigger. We can also say that if they visit the newsletter, sign up, we want them to sign up for the newsletter. And that we can do by saying that they need to perform an event, for instance.

And this event can be that a campaign goal is met, and they need to do it within seven days in this case. We can now press save and continue, and then we can add some options. I will not do this for now. You saw before how it was working. And then again, we can use smart sending. As you just saw, I showed you two different automations. The one before was not sending out any emails. This one is sending out emails, however, it was showing smart sending on both automations, even though the automation before didn’t have anything to do with emails, just a small thing.

Now, moving on to the broadcasts this one is if you want to send out a newsletter, it is very simple. You just create a broadcast. Let’s call this one first newsletter, then we need to choose. Our segment its just going to be all customers. Then we need to choose the email. I have already chosen the same email and then options. Of course we can choose smart sending and then I can send broadcast, here I really need the schedule option.

I really need to be able to schedule my email for it to be sent out for specific time because it’s not always that you have time to send out the email when it actually needs to be sent out. Another cool feature could be A/B testing that we could send out 2, 3, maybe 4 different emails in order to see what language or what type of email is working the best. It could be that we send out a very decorative email. We send out a very simple email, we send out a third email, which is just very simple in the language in order to see what performs best with our target group.

This could really be some cool feature they could add. In the template section down here, it’s just the emails that we have. If I press create template, it is just like we saw before. I’ll just call this one second newsletter. And then again, we are in the email setup here where we can add blocks, we can set the settings, we can add an image. And so much more, as I just shown you before, and these templates we can use in our automations and in our broadcast if we just want to send out an email.

Furthermore, they have the settings section and in the settings sections we have our API keys, sending domain, which is used for emails, senders custom blocks where you can create a custom block that you can enter into your email. Let’s say that you have something you always say, then you can save time by creating a custom block that you can just drag over. Furthermore, we have integrations in here where you can see, of course, we have some native integrations, which is great.

And then we have Zapier down here where it has a ton of ton of integrations as we know it. Furthermore, they have a feature request where you can add features that you would like to see within CrowdPower. I could, for instance, say that I wanted the A/B testing within sending out emails and so much more. So they are really open for ideas that you might have. The last element I want to show you is their documentation because they have a rather extensive documentation in here on how you set up CrowdPower and how you use it in the best way.

I have already shown you this with the JavaScript tag, but I will just show you a little bit more that if you want to create an event can be that they sign up for a newsletter. This is how you do it. It is quite simple, but if you haven’t worked with code before, it can be quite difficult. And that is why I really hope that they in the near future will add a tool so we don’t have to do this.

For instance, Encharge or Active campaign is actually utilising a lot of the data already to do this without we having to add any code to our website except for the tracking of course. If we want to record a page view can also do that here. This we normally don’t have to do this, the tracking code takes care of. And of course, recording a charge. This is if you integrate with Stripe or a secondary payment system. Furthermore, we have the Beacon API, which is for the back-end, I’ll not deep dive into that.

It is the same idea as I just showed you with the JavaScript tag and then they have some resources, integrations and so much more. So the integrations and the documentations are rather extensive within CrowdPower. So that’s really great to see.

Taking a look at the pricing structure of CrowdPower, it is very simple, it is based on the amount of active customers and the amount of monthly emails you can send out. And the good news here is that you can get started completely free.

You can sign up today and try CrowdPower and test out the entire product without paying. When we compare the pricing structure to the competitors, they are a bit cheaper and that’s because their product is not as developed as the competitors is right now. And this is a great strategy because then they can come in at the market, get a share and get the feedback they need in order to build a better product. And when they have a better product, then they can increase their prices.

The competitors, as I see it, is Active campaign and Encharge.io. Encharge I have made a video about which you can see up here. Active campaign is definitely the leader in this market, however, Encharge.io is getting very close and it’s great to see CrowdPower also come in here. I definitely think CrowdPower can pull up there and be close to Active campaign and Encharge because they are focussed on events. This means that if you have a SaaS company or you just have a normal blog or consulting business, you can use events in order to track your visitors or your customers.

An event can be that they sign up for a newsletter, or they do a specific action in your programme or in your software. All of this will make it possible for you to act on it. So let’s say that you want to set up an automation saying that if someone has signed up for this newsletter, I want to send them this email. And by doing this, you save an incredible amount of time on your marketing and on your operations.

Now, who is this product for? As you have seen, you do need some coding knowledge in order to really release the full potential of CrowdPower. However, I do hope in the future that they will make some sort of tool that will make it possible for all of us to be able to use the full potential of CrowdPower. It could be a small tool where we could basically just click on our website in order to tell CrowdPower that this is an event and this is an event.

By having a tool like this, they will open up CrowdPower to so many more people, and especially the people sitting in the marketing departments out there. Using CrowdPower you can automate so many of your processes everywhere, from sending out emails to integrations to Stripe to Segment and so much more. Whether you’re running a SaaS company, a consulting business or a blog, you are able to use CrowdPower for your benefit.

So, yeah, that’s my review of CrowdPower, a great email marketing automation tool where you can also measure your performance. I hope that you liked the video, and if you did, please give it a thumbs up. If you have any questions to CrowdPower or other products you would like me to review, please leave a comment down below. Thank you so much for watching. Let’s catch up on the next one.
