Hi All,
My store (https://www.zazzle.com/store/sanfrancisco?rf=238748736489762753 ) is fairly new (just opened in November’23).
I have basically no followers yet on Social Media but I do promote my items because how else will anyone find my little store? 🤷🏽♀️
If you scroll down on my store’s front page you will find my media section so this will give you an idea about my video creation style. I do use a combination of different tools to create videos but not in particular Canva - I just haven’t become friends yet with that specific creation tool. I just signed up for it recently because a friend of mine encouraged me strongly to do so and she needs some video intros done created with Canva down the road which I can do once she’s ready for her YouTube channel.
Anyhow, I’m willing to create one video per week for a Zazzler if you in exchange will promote one of my collections within your entire social media network (how big or small that might be) and follow me on Social Media (I will follow you back too).
Video length maximum limit: 60 seconds.
You email me text and images for each slice.
I can add additional video clips (as an example a screen recording) as long as your video doesn’t exceed one minute in total.
I can also add music to your video but you need to be sure you owe the rights to it of course because I cannot be responsible for your video in regards of rights to images, video footage or sound files.
Any takers? If so please reply below.
Thanks a bunch for reading that far.
Thank you so very much Leah!! 😊
@1WhoConquersI followed you on all accounts except on Linkedin. I create primarily slideshows of products since I do not have the real products in hand. Sometimes I add additional video clips I took (if I see fit) - as an example a boat ride in a harbor (https://youtube.com/shorts/GcTSEC1rpF4?si=LBXTd4VrUswepY2B) or I add screen recordings (as an example at https://youtube.com/shorts/XPFd6D4mjbk?si=b_LY3dG3pkR3ucjk) and yesterday I tried incorporating Mark Highton Ridley's tool in my video (https://youtube.com/shorts/Vy_QhU8nnxY?si=hxs5G4EamQdabR_j) - even that worked, lol.
I have not checked out Canva's video tool yet, just recently signed up with Canva and I'm not crazy about it (yet) but maybe this will change once I'll get the hang of it.
For editing I use different video tools (but not Canva yet) and in the end I simply assemble all the pieces on my phone with Ripl - goes fairly easy.
Thanks for letting me know about the peanuts - I'm one of the people buying them on Amazon (although not for squirrels, I bought them for crows). I had no clue!
PS: I liked your video. 🙂
Hmm, I wouldn’t know. 🤷🏽♀️
Is there a way to find out what elements aren’t “free to use”? Otherwise it seems pretty stupid to even use any templates (which I have used too for social media posts). That’s definitely good to know - thanks a bunch!!
Yes, but it's really tedious. For each item, you have to tap the (...) menu and the pop-up will tell you, then you have to tap the (i) button for the more detailed legalese...
Thanks - that really helps. I’ll try this on my phone right now. 🤞🏽
Hi All,
So I'm going to wrap my offer. In over a month my post had 234 views but not a single taker, lol. That's what you can call a huge flop indeed.
I think I will use my saved time to set up a SMS list for my store - maybe this idea will fly. Time will show, smile.
I have checked out your accounts and I follow them but you are right - none of my products would even remotely fit into your target audience.
I love the videos you create for your products. They're creative yet short & to the point to highlight the product. So I wanted to take you up on this deal immediately when you first posted it. The one thing that stopped me was this
You email me text and images for each slice.
I felt like 1) deciding on my own what text & images to use and how I want them "sliced" defeats the purpose of someone more talented deciding that and 2) it would therefore also restrict your creativity to do what you want to make a good vid.
I think you could parlay this into a money-maker though, creating short vids and/or covers for people. You could sell your services individually or as a "package" (vid + a static cover image) and people could use the results on any POD they're on not just Zazzle, on their own websites, on social media ... I think a lot of people who don't have the time, talent or interest in trying to learn how to do such things themselves would def pay to be able to just send you a link to a product and get a short vid and/or "cover" for it. You could even have two pricing levels. A) trust me to do what I want and B) pay more for me to work in specific text/images you want me to use.
Thanks so much Col - I like this idea. I will turn this around in my head and will toggle it after I’m done setting up my SMS list which I started last night.
