MenuWhen posting short-form videos to social media, is it wise to add the subtitles in-app using features native to each platform or add before upload?
Can you edit videos to include subtitles and then post the same video to all social media platforms (IG, FB, TT, etc)? Or is it better to edit them in-app with the platforms native tools?
Answers
You can use Captions, it offers correct transcription of texts and you can customize them to your choice
The decision to add subtitles in-app or before upload depends on your goals and preferences. Here are considerations for both approaches:
Adding Subtitles In-App:
Platform-Specific Features: Many platforms offer built-in tools for adding subtitles. This ensures compatibility and may provide additional engagement features.
Aesthetics and Customisation: In-app tools allow you to customise the appearance of subtitles according to each platform's style and user expectations.
Efficiency: Adding subtitles in-app can be quicker, especially if you're tailoring content for different platforms simultaneously.
Adding Subtitles Before Upload:
Consistency: Pre-adding subtitles ensures consistency across all platforms, maintaining a unified brand image.
Editing Control: External video editing tools provide more control over the appearance, timing, and style of subtitles, allowing for precise adjustments.
Time Efficiency: For large batches of content, pre-adding subtitles might be more time-efficient than doing it individually on each platform.
Considerations:
Automation Tools: Explore third-party tools that can automate the subtitle process, enabling you to add subtitles before upload while still saving time.
Platform-Specific Preferences: Some audiences prefer native subtitles, while others might appreciate a consistent, branded look. Consider your target audience's expectations.
Trial and Error: Experiment with both methods to identify what works best for your content, audience, and efficiency needs.
Ultimately, the choice depends on your workflow, the level of customisation you require, and your audience's preferences.
Here are a few key considerations when deciding whether to add subtitles in-app using native platform features or before uploading short-form social media videos:
Adding Before Upload:
Allows more control, customization, and ability to ensure accuracy of captions
But it is more time-consuming and requires additional tools and skills to create captions
It works for all platforms that don't have native caption support
Adding In-App:
Typically, it is very fast and easy to auto-generate captions
Accuracy can be hit or miss, depending on video content
Limited control and formatting options
Only works if platform has captioning capabilities built-in

What is the best timing in the new year to launch business marketing?
Hi there! In few words, the launch date does not matter a lot as long as you are following with a continuous marketing plan all the year. It is better to tune your lunch date according to your marketing campaign than connecting it to the seasonal event. The timing of your launch only matters if your website is already ranked or has a good authority associated to it. Launching a website is not like opening a local shop. The launch date is defined by the effectiveness of your marketing campaign. In other words, your question must be rephrased as: "When is the best time to launch my first marketing campaign for my newly created website?". In that case, you will need to describe in details what kind of website you have and how are you planning to market it. I would be able to give you a more accurate answer if you explain to me what kind of website are you planning to launch or what products mainly are you selling. Hope that helps!RZ

I have to ask why you would start an agency in an area you don't have much experience in. Perhaps you'd be better off getting at least a little experience first?AV

Which link shortener should we use in our social sharing strategy to track our Analytics?
I might suggest starting with Bitly and exploring the possibility of getting a custom branded shortener, which you can set up through Bitly once the domain is purchased. For example, my website is philpallen.com but I shorten all links to philp.al/link so it's more professional. I feel like many other shorteners look like spam, but I'd say your safe with Bitly because it's widely used. A custom one would be even better!PP

About to launch our new eCommerce website selling well priced unique watches. What is the best initial marketing strategy to use with minimal cost?
Here are some answers for you that I believe will help you. 1. You should implement a long term and short term strategy right at the beginning. What I mean is that there are essential parts to your marketing like SEO and content marketing that you need to implement right in the beginning, but will take a while to filter through, but these are essential if you want to have organic traffic. That would be L-T. The best for Short term for a newly launched site is ad's. Word of warning though. Know your customers demographics such as age, income, education etc, know your competitors demographics and then find the platform (such as social media channels) where your ideal customer is based on those researched demographics and then roll out targeted ad's for them. 2. You have to implement social media strategies right from the beginning of course, based on your demographic research. 3. Get busy Blogging - start with content marketing now. 4. Sweepstakes - start a giveaway to get traction with clients and create awareness. 5. Make sure you collect emails as these are like gold dust for future email marketing. 6. Video marketing is essential for competitive retail space and very powerful to get found on search engines like Google. Prior to me launching my digital marketing business 5 years ago, I built an online retail business and made many expensive mistakes. And they can be costly if not implemented correctly from the beginning. So in summary: SEO - very important, Ad's, Social Media, Sweepstakes, Blogging, Video & email marketing. I trust this will assist you. Let me know if you wish to have a call to discuss these or have follow up questions. Regards KennethKT
