Want To Generate More Sales Online?

Write great copy with relevant CUSTOM graphics and videos on your sales page.

In this day and age, people don’t read long blocks of copy.

They’re usually skimming and only stop scrolling when they see a compelling image.

You NEED unique custom 3d mockups, book covers, lead magnet images, online course mockups and funnel graphics to make your sales page convert.

I’ve always struggled with design and could not justify hiring expensive graphic designers.

Not anymore.

GrooveVideo Review Verdict by Aimee

Your Free GrooveFunnels account allows you to upload up to 15 videos for FREE (however you will need to connect an Amazon s3 account). The video elements within GrooveVideo are cool because you can add call to action buttons and opt-in forms within the video player itself. However, the biggest value of GrooveVideo is in the lifetime plan where can upload and host up to 100GB of video content.
