A real nice Mockup Video Creator app. Which is an upgrade bonus tool that comes with Video Creator. This cloud based video editing app features templatized mockup videos that can be edited.

Mockup videos are an excellent choice for video marketers. Great for those short advertisement videos you see on FaceBook and Instagram. Simply upload your logos or images and type in your slogons and catch phrases.

Mockup video templates for T-Shirts, Bottles, Laptop and Desktop frames and other elements. A pretty sophisticated app could be sold seperately, but is an upgrade to a main platform called Video Creator. This is my very first creation with it. Check it out...

In this video our 3d animated avatar Nancy explains how to get your smile fixed. We wanted to personalize this promo video for a local (ficticious) dentist. So we invented Dr. Toothy SmileALot, DDS. Then we added our video to a desktop frame and included revolving titles to further enhance the marketing opportunity. Check it out...

Dr. Toothy SmileALot Dentist Desktop Promo

Created by BWT Video Services animators. This video features some cool special effects. We used an existing animated dentist video and put it in a device frame. That device is a desktop monitor. Then we added vibrant subtitles that make a call to action.

The first scene bubbles in from black. This is a new transition just invented. If you missed it try replaying the video.

This video can be repackaged and personalized for any marketing of dentist videos. Contact BWT Video Services for more information...

SBI website builder Single Best Investment ever made. Sometimes an event changes your life forever. One such event for me was 9/11/2001. On that day the world changed and so did my life. Within months I had become a victim of corporate downsizing, and career interruption. Resulting in decisions that still affect me today.

Do What You Know Not What You Think

One day I was an electrical engineer secure in my career path, and the next day I was on a path I never intended to be on. It became apparent to me over time that I could no longer rely on big business to build a career.

Enter Solo Build It or SBI. I had deveolped several technical skills involving electrical engineering, digital tools and the Internet. I thought I should pursue engineering but found out what was more valuable was knowing how to use the tools.So, I began learning more about website builder tools

I discovered Solo Build It one day in my quest to learn more about digital Internet tools. I was enthralled by the amout of knowledge this platform offered. I subscribed in June of 2006 and am still using this platform today.

As the world changed so did the advantage of digital Internt tools. Knowing how to use Internet tools are far more useful (and easier) than learning electrical engineering.

Are you about to retire? Or thinking of a job change? Looking for a suplemental income? Look no further. Read this next article about SBI website builder tools...

Natalie In Bakers Delight Promo

This video features some new transitions just invented. We incorporated a "Glitch" transition between the intro title and the main clip. We liked this transition because it gets viewers excited. I mean who doesn't pay attention when their tube seems to go haywire?

The contact info thought bubble that appears from nowhere utilizes a transition called 'blur zoom.' These and more transitions are new to BWT Videos.

We used the 'blur zoom' transition again to segue into the outro. We think this transition implies a bit of wonder to the video. What do you think?

Natalie is only one of the 3d animated avatars that grace the halls of BWT Videos. Meet them all on the next page...

Are you interested in email marketing? If so, this short video is for you. Luke Barber of www.homespeechhome.com explains his best do's and don'ts of email marketing.

Do's & Don'ts Of Email Marketing

• Don't pretend to be somebody you are not. Let your personality shine, be yourself. Do not pretend to be a big corporate entity if you are not one.
• Do not include a lot of images in your email. Images may not be read by email providers and may be considered as spam.
• Get rid of the distractions on your signup page. Use simple landing or squeeze pages. Use landing pages only to capture a users email. That is, only allow the visitor to do one thing, sign up or leave.
• Don't buy someone else's list. You don't know who your audience is. More than likely most recipients will unsubscribe or return an angry reply.
• Always give a double opt-in to your list. This is required by law for most email providers.
• Give your email recipients a way to unsubscribe. If you are sending emails without this you will get dinged. People will reply with anger. And you will be considered a spammer.
• Send emails regularly. Try to send an email once a week or at least twice a month. Do not over email your list your unsubscribe rate will increase.
• Schedule emails in advance. Events happen throughout the year that you can be taking advantage of. For instance holidays, special events, or seasonal changes.
• Try to use a personalized email address you own. If you use an email provider the emails are sent from the provider. A professional personal email address lets your list know who is actually sending the email.
• Only include links to your website or landing page. Sending affiliate links enmass to your list is spamming the email provider. If you don't have a website, get one at Solo Build It.
• Use a well formatted email/newsletter system, like 'MailOut Manager' on Solo Build It. Keep your email postings, responses and landing pages organized in one place.

Recently BWT took out a 'Yelp' Business Ad. We are checking out some of the new features just launched. I was so impressed with my account reps presentation, I said OK to taking out an ad. Now if you are a Yelp advertiser you know how expensive it can be. However the up side is targeted, ready to purchase, potential custumers. You'll see.

Before we get into the new features I wanted to tell you that Yelp is not an ideal advertising platform for MY business, But, it is for most businesses that have physical location. Here's why...mobile connectivity. Turns out Yelp is THE most used search engine for local businesses. Even Apple now referrences Yelp for their local search results. That's BIG. As most local business searches are done on mobile devices.

Here's the thing. Most local Internet searchers are people looking to find a local service, product or establishment that suits their current needs. Example, travellers looking for a nearby gas station with directions on how to get there. Yelp excels at these kind of business ads. And does a much better job than Google IMO. Check it out...

New Yelp Business Ad Features Explained

• Page Upgrades is a new user interface where you input your business vitals. Like business highlights, logo, call to action, a slideshow and portfolio.
• Yelp Connect is like a blog page. You create social media style ads with an image, headline, description and a call to action. You can create as many posts as you want. Very helpful to get people interested.
• Logo upload your business logo here. This new feature is used in several places on Yelp. In the past an uploaded 'profile' image was used. This expanded logo feature is more powerful and helps identify your business better.
• Business Highlight in this section a feature ad is created that populates a section on your Yelp business page. You get to select 6 highlights that describe your business. Yelp offers several keyword related options for this. They are amenities, availability, crowd (friendly), covid-19 (policies), estimates, features, guarantees and pricing.
• Portfolio of published projects. In this section you can showcase some of the work you have completed. This widget allows you to create a full size popup ad. The ad includes a series of 4 giant images, lengthy description and project details like duration, cost and services provided.

Right now we are testing these new features and have not formed an opinion on their effectiveness, yet. Therefore no recommendations for right now. Except to see some of these features in action. Here is a link to my Yelp page. Check it out...

Cats And Deeres A Conspiracy Theory

Stay tuned to learn more about HUMATARS. BWT has just begun working with this technology and would like a little more time to evaluate and digest this new information. Initially we are impressed that the average person now has access to artificial intelligence, like never before. We can now impersonate real actors virtually that is. The implications are huge, so much so, that the software comes with a liability disclaimer. So, before BWT Videos promotes this product we are going to study it further. More later... hope you liked my video parody.
