- Hey, guys. It's Aurelius. In this video, I'm going to share eight
mind blowing websites you probably didn't know existed. Starting with the first
website called Witeboard. There's no H in the Witeboard. Right off the bat, when
you go to witeboard.com, you can start drawing
and explain anything. Let's say you're on a Zoom call, simply take out the little pencil tool and then start drawing and
explaining anything you want, like this pretty ugly drawing of mine. So right off the bat,
when I drew a circle, it basically fixed it up into
a perfect circle like so. You can change it between
the pencil tool, line tool, text tool, eraser or undoing,
changing the colour as well. There are even shortcuts by
simply pressing the L key. You can switch between
the pencil to the line and vice versa. Also the text tool by simply pressing T. And right off the bat,
we can put in some text. Now, by using Witeboard, you no longer have to try to
explain what you're thinking to people online. Simply whip out Witeboard and draw away. The next website is called Blush. And I can't believe how I
didn't know about this sooner. What you can do is tell your
stories using illustrations and it goes even further. You can customise the illustrations too. Let me explain. By going to illustrations,
choose your category. Let's say work and you're
trying to explain something or use this in your
presentations or on your website. Let's say we want this one right here. Let's go select this
guy and click on edit. From here, we can customise
further by changing the carpet. We can even change the table lamp and swap it over to popcorn
if that's what you fancy and go with a tea cup instead. And we can even change the pet. If we aren't big fans of dogs, we can swap it over to a cat. Clicking on the actual person, we can customise it even further. We can change the
trousers that he's wearing to let's say, green or a different colour. We can even change the upper body to something like yoga hands. We can even change the hair
colour and skin colour as well. And what we can do now is download this as an illustration or an image. Next up, have you ever
wanted to create a website, but the thought of designing
and installing themes and plugins just overwhelms you? Well, there's a simple and
easy to use tool called Carrd. Simply put, if you use Carrd you can create simple, free
fully responsive one page sites for pretty much anything
as stated on their website. I created this in less than two minutes by simply choosing one of the templates, swapping it over to one of my images, then entering my name here and entering what I do and what I offer. It's really easy to use. It's as simple as choosing
any element on the site. Let's say the background,
changing the colour and even changing the different types of patterns that you see. Let's say, squares. And right the bat you can
see the changes take effect. Once you are ready to publish
and show this to the world all you need to do is go to publish. You need to of course create an account but you can go a step further and either choosing a carrd.co URL or if you want a custom domain name then you can select that. It is a pro feature. Otherwise, if you don't
mind a carrd.co URL, then you're ready and set to go. Next up, have you ever visited a site and you wondered what
platform is this site using? What fonts are they using? What theme and plugins are
installed on the website? Well, there's a tool or
moreso a browser extension called Whatruns. Let's take this website, for
example, digitalmarketer.com. And you're curious to know
what platform they are using. Simply hover over the Whatruns plugin and then right at the bat it'll load up and show the CMS or the platform. In this case, it's running on WordPress. The theme that it's using
is ultimate conversion. I'm assuming that's their own custom one. The plugins that they have installed, whether they have analytics installed, the fonts that they've got and any miscellaneous plugins and such. Now, there's no guesswork. Whenever you visit a website,
if you like a website and you wanna create a
website similar to it then you use that Whatruns
plugin and you're all set. What do you think about
these websites so far? Let me know by giving
this video a thumbs up and now let's continue. This next website allows you
to download free stock videos that you can use on your
YouTube videos, TikTok videos, Instagram videos, or anywhere else. It's called Coverr. Simply go to Coverr with the double r.co. Start searching or go through
one of the categories. I've gone through the
business and work category. At the very top, you will see
some sponsored posts or ads. You can see it's from Shutterstock,
but if you scroll down these are the free ones
that you can download and use on your let's say YouTube videos without getting any copyright claims. Coverr.co states that you
can use it for commercial or personal use and you
don't need to credit the actual creator of the videos. This next website is called Flourish. It's going to allow you to turn your data into beautiful graphs and charts like what you are looking at right here. It's animated and it looks
a lot more interactive. You can choose from dozens and
dozens of different templates like these bar charts and column charts. You've got these projection maps. There's also these scatter
maps, 3D maps, hierarchy, line chart race, heat
maps, radar and much more. So if you have any data
that you want to present, then Flourish is a perfect tool for it. What's more, once you're
done with your graph what you can do is export and publish and add it to your Canva presentation. This next tool, while we're on the subject of charts and graphs is called Untools. Whether you're a CEO in a top
firm, or you're a student, this is going to help you figure
out what framework to use. So by going through some
of these frameworks, you can figure out which one's
right for your situation. Let's say you wanna look at a decision from different perspective. You can use the Six Thinking
Hats decision making framework. In this case, it tells you how to use it and it illustrates how
to actually use it too. It also gives you an example. So, then you know how to
apply this to your situation. One of my favourite
productivity frameworks is the Eisenhower Matrix. It allows you to prioritise
all your to-dos and tasks so you know what's important and urgent and what you can simply
delegate and get rid of. It shows you how to use it, of course, and it shows you how the matrix works. You've got important
urgent, important not urgent not important urgent and
not important not urgent. So in this example, it says,
finish a report that's due. Send draught to a client. Fix a bug. So, this is important and urgent. Whereas something that's
not urgent and not important include things like attending
a meeting with no agenda, reading #random and checking social media. All right, this next website
is going to allow you to create videos quickly and
easily for content marketing or whatever purpose you want. It's called Lumen5. And here's one I created not long ago. All you need to do is copy and paste or type out the text that
you want in your videos. Like so. Click on convert to video and then Lumen5 will use its AI to find
out which background to best use for each of the points. I'm going to show you a quick preview of what I produced in a couple of minutes. I'll click on preview and here it is. So, it goes on for about 35 seconds and each one getting through
each productivity tool. So, you get the idea. What you can also do is
take it a step further and simply paste in a URL
of your blog or article. And then, that'll convert it into a video. There are even more customization options such as increasing the length
per slide as you can see and even adding a voiceover
if that's what you wanna do. Plenty of other customization options such as adding your own
media, pictures, videos adding music, styling, and formatting too. You can change between a
landscape, square, vertical or a story depending on where
you'll be posting your video. So, that sums up this video. Which one of these
websites will you be using or are you currently using? Let me know in the
comments. I'd love to know. In the meantime, do give
this video a quick thumbs up, subscribe and turn on
notifications tool if you're new. And in the meantime, I will leave up a couple of
relevant videos right here for you to watch next. But in meantime, take care and
I'll see you in the next one. (upbeat music)
