The US Postal Service has gone postal, in a good way. They're celebrating the dark side of the moon (well, the front side in this case, but it will be dark).

This stamp transforms (eclipses) when you touch it! Ooooo....Ahhhh...!

For more information about the total solar eclipse and the stamp, go to AP NEWS!

Enjoy!

Tool Time! [Writers, Readers, Marketers]

Mmm...the Shiny Things!

I've been testing some tools for quick videos, ads and slideshows for social media. I have to be careful because i can spend endless time playing with these shiny things, but it's so much fun!

Many are in phone/iPad app versions so they can be done on the fly:
Animoto
Ripl
WordSwag
PicMonkey
Canva

So far, I've found Animoto (app) easy for a quick slideshow. Ripl (app) is less intuitive but more professional looking. WordSwag (app) is lightning fast for a quick pic with text ads. But for me, Canva and PicMonkey have been excellent. I mostly use them on my laptop, but they also have app versions. They're easy to use with a short learning curve and well worth the reasonable charge for the paid versions. Here's a quick ad I did on Canva this morning. It's not fancy or slick, but it gets the job done (list building). Bing. Bang. Boom.

Enjoy! And let me know what you're using for social media, ads, vids, etc! 

Wickedly Yours,

Fran Friel
