Hi guys, Danny Walsh here and welcome to Pixel Studio fx. This is the latest software to hit the market that actually tackles the age old problem of being able to create mockup software boxes, E covers, CD mockups for your websites, online or offline products. Now, this software grabbed my eye quite a while ago. I've watch this grow and develop as they've gone from concept to recruiting partners to actually launching and now as they've come towards the end of the launch, just how successful that process has been. You can see from the product, you can see from the effort that's gone in, you can see from the, you know, the guys that are involved in it, that this is something that has actually set a new standard in Internet marketing or online software. And you can see just by looking at the membership area where we've landed. Nice introduction video, nice training video. Beneath there you've got the menus, down the side you've got the Facebook group, you've got the support clearly laid out. There's the daily power call which is just something people are not doing anywhere else. All of these different options are all in place to help you not only make really cool ecovers and book covers and software boxes and all of the rest of it, but, but also to go out there and make yourself some money. Whether you're a serious marketer offline online, whether you just want to make a few extra dollars or pounds on the side as part of your weekly routine, this software's got it all. And I don't normally buy graphics design stuff because I am a Photoshop guy. I use Illustrator. This is Photoshop. Now you can see I do leaflets, I do banners, I do all sorts of stuff for my own sites. One of the things that's really awkward and difficult to actually do is create these ecovers and E boxes and software boxes. So I've always been looking for a solution to do that quickly because if you spend two hours doing one product box, that two hours could be better spent elsewhere. Of course you can outsource this stuff, but you can be quarted anywhere from $40 to $160, $200 for a good quality E cover. And I'm not talking about fiverr and getting somebody to do one design fits all and they just change the text. I'm talking about having a proper design done that's got all the detail on that you require and is fit for purpose. So within Photoshop, just to create a document as complex as this leaflet would have taken, you know, a good hour and a half. If I wanted to then turn this leaflet into some sort of book cover, it would then take another hour or so to actually get this onto the right wireframe and do all of the work that you need to do. So costly, expensive, time consuming, whichever way you look at it, whether it's outsourced or not. And I was speaking to one of my clients recently who said, yes, you know, I've got a designer that I've used for years and he will do all my work. And I think he said it was $120 time hoping that him seeing this video will sway him in the direction of Pixel Studio effects. Because literally this software is magic and it fills the gap and it does everything I need. Even though I do use the Professional more sort of high end design products. I would class this as a professional high end design product. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it and I would have left it on the Internet with the rest of the shiny objects. So you log in, you get a nice welcome from Ali and Adeel Chowdhury, who are the product creators behind this alongside Jimmy Kim, who are renowned in the marketing community for the quality of products and services they provide. So big thumbs up, guys. If you see this and you're watching this, the software is very well laid out. You've got the menus at the top, which is obviously great. So it's simple, easy to see training, which is a great place to start. There's this agency startup which actually provides you the tools you need to go out there and sell E covers and boxes and software boxes and all these different things. I didn't go for that option, I went for the professional, the pro option which unlocks all of the box templates and different things. But the agency startup, I've already got those things in place. So I've got my own website, network and servers and different things and I work offline. This is my sort of full time job. I work with people all over the world, so that bit wasn't really for me, but it may be for you because it provides templates that you can literally change the text, add a few bullet points, videos and different things and you're almost ready to sell. All you need to do is promote your service and you can do that in Facebook groups or you know, by sending out a local leaflet, putting a notice on a notice board, whatever. But that's great, that's a great addition. Down the left hand side, more training, you've got the actual studio itself, where we're going to go in A second cash palette, which is fantastic because what this does, and this comes actually with the front end version. So as soon as you sign up you get access to this cash palette and what you can do in there is actually search people from all different websites who are in the market for E covers or websites or all sorts of different things. Focusing obviously on the E cover design. You can find people with budgets of 2, $300 for 1e cover design. You can create that in Pixel Studio FX in about five minutes and then bid for this work and pocket the profit. So I'm sure I'll be doing a little bit of that because although I do work through these sites from time to time myself, this system makes it a lot simpler just to pull that information from multiple sites and go out there and actually make a few extra dollars. So pretty self explanatory. Down the left hand side you can get support which I've not actually needed yet. It's pretty intuitive, quite, you know, simple to use once you get stuck into it. Inner Circle is a Facebook group, about 800 members and growing fast. I think they've sold 3,500 or 3,600 plus copies since it launched only a week ago. So it's been well received. There's a lot of members, the community is already buzzing and there's a lot of people sharing the work that they've done, giving suggestions. There's one guy in there listed a lot of free graphics sites. Other people are sharing concepts and ideas for new features. So I can see this product going really far and I can see myself using it for a long time to come. Leave a testimonial, I think this video will suffice, but I will do. And that's pretty much how you're welcomed. And if you watch these videos, you'll get a real good feel for how these guys are approaching this project, the work that they put into it and the fact that they actually want to see you succeed. Whether it be using this for personal use, using it on your own website. So going the whole full hog, setting up your own agency and focusing on making some serious cash. It is possible. I've seen what this software is capable of and I want to show you just now, if we click on the Studio FX at the top, just what can be achieved. So look at this. It's a really, really cool, nice and neat, well laid out system. You can see I got the pro version. So when you first sign up, I think you $47 for the sort of entry level, the Pixel Studio effects Basic version, if you would, and then another 97 to upgrade to Pro may seem like a lot. And I was sort of thinking, well, do I or don't I? I bought the front end basic version, jumped in and quite quickly created some product covers for some new websites I'm working on and thought, yes, this, this works very well. What you will find when you log into the software is thousands of templates in all of these different categories. And of course every single one of these is customizable. So for example, cooking, if you are selling a cookbook or course or any kind of online product, that's to with do do with cooking, it makes sense to have a nice cover that will grab attention, it will make people have affinity with your item and it will hopefully make people buy your product. E business, same thing. This is the kind of, you know, make money online sort of stuff. There's loads and lords and lords of you are out there in these niches in these businesses who are not putting out high quality artwork. I know that because people come to me and say, danny, please can you design me some high quality artwork? Because the thing I did on Publisher is not working for me and of course that's what I do. So I'm telling you that these are good quality designs because I can see that after doing design for 15 years, there are so many different categories. It sort of occurred to me last night, I wonder if we could create a website or squeeze page for every single one of the designs in here and just go out there and make a ton of impact on the Internet. And I don't really see why not. These are some generic ones, so you can pick any of these and literally turn them into a multitude of designs. So let's have a look what we've got here. There's home and garden, health and fitness, green products, solely energy, that's big at the moment. So we could do, for example, if we click one, you'll then see all the actual templates and look at that, everything is set for you. So what have we got? You can have the box, another box with a CD next to it, the CD on its own. These things put ideas in people's minds because they focus you into thinking that this is an actual physical product, which in some cases it may be. It stands out on the website because it's got the proper shadow and reflection. You can add backgrounds, you can do all sorts of different things. It really does stimulate people into thinking that this is something that they need to get hold of and actually open it will increase Conversion rates on your website because it looks good and it grabs attention. And that's the sort of fundamental principle in any design. It needs to look good and grab people's attention long enough for them to take action. So we can choose any of these, you know, templates report covers, all different things. You go to the for a full book if you like all of these different things, you just choose the one you want. So we could do perhaps let's do the box. Click the box, you'll see again then that it opens into a canvas and you can see we've got the box and the cd. So there's a box version and you just literally change the text. So you can click things and then the text appears on the right hand side. And if you use ClickFunnels or WordPress Live Builders or anything like that, you should be familiar with, with this kind of layout, really simple, Change it to whatever you want apply and then you can drag this stuff into position, Make sure that you're happy with it. Alright, well that looks half decent. You can go and change the text on the CD as well. So you click that and you can see that there was little annotations to show you where the tops and the sides were. This is really cool and, and it saves a lot of time because once you're happy with your text and your layout, using the templates, or even start from scratch and upload your own images, you can preview this stuff and literally download it in a few clicks and be ready to put it on your website or social media or wherever. So hopefully you will get the rendered box. There we go. So there is the rendered. Build your own solar panel software box, complete with CD ROM or DVD ROM and you know, Blu Ray, wherever we're up to these days, you can add reflection and shadow. And it just takes a few moments literally to spin up and do what you need it to do. Depends. Sometimes the images load a little bit quicker than others, but this is, you know, pretty fast compared to the fact that we would be sat there on Photoshop probably still setting up layers or groups. Now we've pretty much done what we need to do. And you can add background images, background colors, you can preview it and you can download it. And it just comes as a zip file which contains a small, medium and large version which is really useful. So look in the backgrounds here, look, you can put. How cool is that? And you can download on its own with the background. You can even get a link to share the soft, the actual software box with your client. So you don't actually need to leave the system or download and then email. You just send somebody the link, say what do you think of this? They say that's great. You send them the invoice, you've made you hundred dollars or whatever and it's as simple as that. You know, this video, we've been five, ten minutes already, we have created a box. I'm happy with that and I'm sure my customers would be too. This could go on a squeeze page. So we could say, you know, download this guide to building your own solar panel at home. You know, enter your email address and we will give you instant access. And when somebody enters their email address, we can market to them going forward other energy related products, other solar panel related products. Imagine if somebody went from your free guide to build their own solar panel to realize, well, I don't think I can build a solar panel, perhaps I should get somebody to install one for me at the cost of $5,000 or whatever it is. So the power of having a good high quality lead magnet or attractive looking software box or book or CD or whatever is massive because that will attract the customers into your sales funnel into your website from the word go and will hopefully generate you some pennies as we go forward. So easy, really easy to use. Lots and lots of designs. You can flick back and you can go back to the template. So you can see here the arts and entertainment. Some of this stuff is great. You know, these are ideal for all sorts of promotions, mock ups, different things. You know, you can use this photography, it may not be photography, you could change that 5,000 graphics to give away the images and the icons still work in different contexts. So it's very, very well put together, very, very well thought out. All of these templates work, all of the models work. And by models I mean the actual frameworks that you see here for uploading your images to. So if you press create ecover you can see these without any designs on. These are the wireframe models that you get. There's the iPad or tablet type, there's a screen, there's the reports thin boxes, books folder. That's quite an effective one. The report with the half sort of slightly turned edge. All of this stuff is designed by experts to have the best possible effect. So why do I need to sit on Photoshop for hours when I can build in here in minutes, if not seconds and then get onto something more profitable or more useful to me like driving some traffic to these pages and getting people to opt in, getting people onto my list. Getting people into my business is more important to me than producing the graphics and the copy and the videos and different things. Of course you can outsource this stuff, but again, there's a cost and you've got to wait and it might not be right or there might be a problem or a dispute or whatever. By the time all that is going on, Pixel Studio FX or Pixel Studio Pro in this case because I upgraded, has done that work for you. It really is a cool piece of software and something that, like I said, I purchased myself and I will be using for a very long time, no doubt. You can see on the right hand side that it actually saves the boxes that you've done. So recent projects, you can see there, I've been busy. And some of these are live on websites at the moment. You know, these are really being used and they're really up there and people are opting into stuff and it's all thanks to this pretty cool software. So going back up to the top, there is also this group shot wireframe template which actually allows you to group up your designs into these sort of group packages really. So if you can imagine you've got something quite comprehensive coming out or you really want to make a good impression. For example, in the next few weeks I've got a paperback book coming out. And that book, this group shot would work really well because we would have the same cover on each book and then one at the end that sort of slides out. Looks really effective. Can use that on different websites. I know people who I'm working with, clients who I'm working with, have got comprehensive courses, you know, five weeks to success or how to get your products into the big retailers. And these are, you know, in some cases actual physical CD ROM, audio CDs, folders of stuff that are actually shipped. This software, Pixel Studio fx, allows us to create the mockups to put on the website that just grab attention and are modern. Up to date. We've included the phones, we've included the tablet devices. You know, the boxes look modern. All of the templates are spot on and I can see this really working well for lot of people. So if you are interested in this and depending on when you're seeing this video, there might be time for you to still get in. At the lifetime launch price, it was $47 for the basic version and a further $97 or $98 to upgrade to Pro. I strongly recommend you upgrade to Pro like I did and you will get the most out of it. There are some limitations in the front end, but you do get the cash palette on the front end as well. So you could in effect get the basic model, go and make yourself some money from the freelancing sites and then use that money to upgrade. But I recommend this, I'll be using this and it's something that I'm really excited by. So well done to the guys who made this product and put this product together. I'm really excited to see the future developments and future additions because this is only the beginning. This is the sort of six, seven days into the launch period when I'm shooting this video. Already people are telling the guys what they want to see, what extra features. You know, I've got some suggestions, some of the things could be made a lot better. You know, it's a, it's a journey that I'm excited to go on. So well done guys. And if you are interested, like I said, there's a link around this video somewhere that you can click on, you can go through, grab yourself a copy and begin making these cool E boxes and CD covers and mock ups and reports and different things. Of course, you don't have to buy the software. That's your choice. I can always make your E box covers for you and I can do them for a discount price of $75 each. So you can see there straight away, there is definite mileage in Pixel Studio FX or Pixel Studio Pro. Really good, really exciting stuff. Check it out. My name is Danny Walsh and I will see you on the next video.
