Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts, feedback is how we are able to improve the experience for all our publishers. To start, we totally understand your concerns about the transition from a free model to a paid model for Flickify, especially in a context where free-to-use tools have become an integral part of our publishers workflows. Let us take this opportunity to explain the reasons behind this change and the value we believe it adds to your content.
Firstly, we've invested significantly in enhancing the quality of the videos produced by Flickify, improving it by a factor of 10. This leap in quality comes from upgrades in our technology, including better resolution, improved sound clarity, and more sophisticated editing features, which, unfortunately, also means increased costs on our end. These enhancements are designed to offer a more engaging and professional viewing experience, which we're confident can elevate the quality of your content.
Understanding the impact of introducing a fee, we've carefully considered our pricing to ensure it remains accessible while reflecting the value Flickify adds. At $3.49 per video, we believe the investment is justified by the potential returns. To put it into perspective, our data shows that publishers incorporating Flickify videos on their pages have seen up to a 30% increase in traffic. This significant uptick in engagement can translate into higher ad revenue, more conversions, or increased followership, which should more than recoup the initial investment.
We genuinely recommend trying Flickify for at least one video—perhaps for an article or content piece that already performs well or is poised to capture high traffic. This could provide a tangible measure of how the enhanced video quality can boost your page's performance and audience engagement.
Our move to a paid model was a necessary step to ensure the sustainability of Flickify without compromising on the quality and service you've come to expect from us. We are hopefully that as developments in AI continue we will be able to generate videos for cheaper (and faster), and the rate at which things are improving makes us bullish on this happening. With that said, we completely understand if at this time you don't deem it to be worth the investment.
Thank you for being a part of our community. We're always here to support you and welcome any further questions or feedback you might have (or if you want to vent!). 🚀
