- Hi, everyone, my name is Dylan.
And today, I'd like to show you
some specific things you can do
with GoDaddy Studio to level up your content game.
GoDaddy Studio is really defined
by its wide-ranging utility for everyday entrepreneurs,
but let's narrow things down
and take a look at 13 of its most popular applications.
First on the list is creating captivating Instagram Stories.
Now, perhaps unsurprisingly,
Instagram Story templates
are among the most popular in GoDaddy Studio
and they can really be anything
from promotions
to price lists, menus, sneak peeks, behind the scenes.
There's just so many ways you can play it
and we've got templates for all of these.
Remember, of course, Instagram Stories
are fantastic for engagement with things like polls.
And now that everybody is able to put a clickable link
in an Instagram Story,
they're even better for driving traffic
to your website or store.
Using pages makes it quick and easy
to create multi-page stories for better engagement.
You would simply just tap to duplicate your design
and then you can make some minor changes
to the subsequent pages to find that perfect balance
between consistency and variety.
Number two is designing your own logo.
Now, a logo is usually the first step
in developing your full brand identity,
and it's something that's really satisfying
to do on your own,
and that's something you can definitely do
with GoDaddy Studio.
You can either build your own logo from scratch
with various elements like graphics, fonts, and shapes,
or a much easier way to start is with one of our templates.
You would simply select one that you like
and customize it for your brand.
Once it's designed, you can save your logo
in your Graphics folder,
so that it's very easy to add to any of your designs
down the line.
Number three is making video posts and ads.
Now, when you are ready to bring out the big guns,
then posting video content is definitely one way
that you can take your brand to the next level.
And it's a lot easier than you might imagine
to create video content,
especially when you are starting
with one of the hundreds of beautifully designed templates
that we have for you.
Now, video can be used in a whole range of different ways.
For example, it could function
as to something of a dynamic background or textual elements.
It could also be used in a far bolder way
with animated text
if you really wanna grab attention
to a promotion that you're running.
And then, of course, there are any number of ways
that you can incorporate short live-action clips,
whether that is existing content that you have
or something that you find in our library.
And then, of course, we have a range of animated videos,
which are really beautiful
and eye-catching at the same time.
Once you've found a template that works for you,
it's also very easy to replace the video content.
You would simply tap the video, hit Replace,
and then you can explore either the thousands
of royalty-free, really high-quality images available
in the Pixabay library,
or perhaps you could search for something
in our exclusive GoDaddy Studio Videos library
with a whole bunch of content
that we've curated and created specifically for you.
You would simply tap the image to replace it.

And then once it's on your canvas,
it's also very easy to edit
in much the same way that you would edit a photograph.
The fourth thing you can do
is push sales with the promotion.
Now, it's not enough
to simply have your product or service available online.
You need to give it an act of push from time to time
and running a promotion is how you do that.
Now, this promotion could take the form of a sale,
a giveaway, a competition.
We've got templates for all of these options.
So, try searching for something
like sale, or competition, or promotion,
and you'll be spoiled for choice
with the number of designs that we have for you.
Next up is creating a cross-platform campaign with layouts.
Now, layouts are perhaps one of the most
underrated secret weapons in GoDaddy Studio.
They are amazing for creating a consistent look and feel
as you show up on different platforms
or perhaps if you're running a specific sales campaign
across multiple channels,
then layouts to do most of the design heavy-lifting for you.
And they're super simple to use.
You would just pick the one that appeals to you
and then select a specific template.
And you would simply tap the place holder
to begin that replacing the images and text.
Really couldn't be easier
and you guarantee you'd have a fantastic result.
Another game-changing application that GoDaddy Studio offers
is creating and saving color palettes for your brand.
With the new Themes tool,
you can pick a design style for your brand
and with the tap of a button,
you can cycle through different color combinations,
which makes the design process so much easier.
This is also fantastic for creating multi-page designs.
You can add a little bit of variety to these designs
literally in a matter of seconds.
Once you find your perfect color combination,
you can then continue to add, delete,
or modify colors in your color palette.
And once you are happy with what you have,
you can then save that color palette
so that your future designs maintain consistency.
Number seven is finding your perfect font.
Now, fonts are an essential component
of your brand identity,
but there are also just a lot of fun to play around with
and explore different creative options.
Now, in GoDaddy Studio's Font library,
we have more than 600 different options available for you.
All of these are free with a pro subscription
and they are grouped according to specific design styles
and categories.
If you wanna just check out the most recent additions
to our Font library, navigate to the New tab,
and here you will only see the newest
and freshest font additions in GoDaddy Studio.
Number eight is creating shoppable product posts.
Now, social commerce is definitely
one of the biggest opportunities
to have opened up for entrepreneurs in recent years.
It's never been easier
to put your product in front of a captivated audience
and make sales in seconds with just a few taps.
But in order to get those taps,
you really have to put your product
in the best possible light
and make it look as appealing as possible.
And this is where great design can really be an ally.
If you have products that you are looking to feature
and ultimately sell online,
then you definitely have to try out
our Remove Image Background tool,
which can erase the background from any image
with just a single tap,
putting our focus squarely on your beautiful product
and opening up a range of creative possibilities.
The Remove Background tool
also lets you create really unique
and striking profile pictures,
whether that's for your personal or business pages
or perhaps on your website
to introduce members of your team.
Adding some design flare to these avatars
really looks professional,
especially if it's drawn from your brand's identity.
So, you can get creative
designing our own profile pic from scratch,
or perhaps take a look at some of the templates
that we have for you,
not forgetting that it's also a great idea
to perhaps change your profile picture
to align with special occasions or causes too.
Next on my list is making beautiful Pinterest posts.
Now, amazingly, Pinterest still gets overlooked
by a lot of people in their content strategy,
particularly for e-commerce.
Now, it's not only for recipes and dream home fantasies.
Pinterest really moves products too,
especially if you have a shoppable pins
connected to your online store.
It's also a really great space
to create beautiful visual signposts
that drive traffic to your website, your blog,
your online store.
So, you definitely wanna think about using Pinterest more
if you aren't already
and using some of all beautifully designed templates
is a great place to start.
Number 11 is creating video thumbnails.
Now, if you have video as a part of your content strategy,
A, that's brilliant,
and B, you definitely know how important it is
to catch people's attention
with a visually impactful thumbnail.
So, we have options for YouTube thumbnails
as well as IGTV covers,
so you can give your entire channel
a really unique look and feel
and start to add some professional polish
to your video content.
Next up is designing an unmissable poster or flyer.
Now, posters and flyers aren't just fantastic
for grabbing attention for events and announcements,
they're also one of the more creative design opportunities.
I know that this is where our graphic designers
definitely like to flex a little bit,
so you can build on their efforts
and customize one of these beautiful creations
that they've created for you.
Keep in mind that when it comes time
to share your poster or flyer,
you have the option when you export
in the Export settings bar to save that as a JPEG or PNG
if you're sharing it digitally.
But if you'd like to print it out,
don't forget to save it as a PDF.
And finally, we have posting a quote.
Now, sharing an inspirational idea,
affirmation, or knowledge bomb with your audience
is a really good idea in a content strategy
because it's something that's easy to do,
it's a very popular format,
and it starts to position your brand's personality
and perspective on the world.
The ideas that resonate with your audience
will start to form the foundation of a community
around your brand.
So, it's definitely worth trying at.
You can either use one of these existing quotes,
you're free to do that,
or choose one of our beautifully designed templates
and add your own words of wisdom to one of those.
All right, so those are just some of the things you can do
with GoDaddy Studio.
There are plenty more, I promise.
