This little hack can make your marketing emails really stand out. In an email, it is not possible to embed a video that plays automatically. However, it is possible to embed an animated gif – really all is is a series of still gif images playing in sequence. There is no sound. So it is not a true video – but it can create a striking feature for your email. Any you could always put a clickable link on the image that takes the reader to a video file, possibly on YouTube. So how did I quickly and easily create this animate gif.
Stage 1 – Shoot a short video and create the animated gif. So I used this tool https://www.gifpal.com
Stage 2 – I then wanted to edit the image, there was a watermark in the bottom right-hand corner. I used a too called Ezgif https://ezgif.com crop to do this. There are a heap of other edits you can easily make.
Stage 3 – Host the animated gif online. I just uploaded it to my WordPress Media Library. And from there I can use the link to embed the image wherever I like.

Geoff Molyneux – Exhibition Sales
Keap / Infusionsoft has been a game-changer for me and the business.…
I have been asking Jordan my Director for a system that would enable me to efficiently manage and follow up with my sales leads. I knew sales were slipping between the cracks.
Julian came in and introduced me to Keap / Infusionsoft and showed me how to manage my sales leads with the CRM functionality and it is fantastic. It's already paying dividends even after just a month and simple to use. Now leads bubble to the surface on my dashboard at the right time and remind me to follow up - and guess what, when I follow up I make sales.
Keap / Infusionsoft has been a game-changer for me and the business. It brings structure and organisation into my crazy busy world. I have no hesitation and would highly recommend Julian as an Keap / Infusionsoft CRM expert.
