We all need good options for saving money when we build our web sites and business identities. I have successfully used options like 99Designs.com to run a contest for logo creation, I have used the Warrior Forum and the Digital Point forum for getting logos and web designs done, and I have also spent innumerable hours doing it myself. I can tell you flat out that doing it yourself is the most gratifying way to do them but it is also the stupidest way. Unless you are a graphics pro. Other wise you are spending too much time doing graphics and not enough time making money.

So today I came across a new and great way to get graphics done for your business or web site. And the the big bonus? It is free. Yes it is a free forum where you register, find the right category, post a listing asking for graphics help, fill in some details and submit. Within a short time you will get responses and designs to choose from for your needs. What is it? LogoBogo is the name and you should head over today to try it out.

Now for the video side of things. Can you imagine getting a free TV commercial for your web site or business? No strings attached? Well it is true and the company that will give you this TV commercial will also help you (if you want) place this commercial on geo targeted web sites for just pennies per view. This could be way better than PPC for your business. You have seen local sites or even the big national sites where there is a small TV commercial running on the side bar. Well that could be your business hitting targeted audiences in your area.

Jivox allows you to set up and account and create ads (from their templates or from your material), set up campaigns and run them all from one interface. They will let you embed or share your ad for free with others and even post it to YouTube if you want. You have to check it out if you are a small local business looking for a way to use web video TODAY.

I created some ads for clients this week and they literally took me a few minutes a piece to create and submit. Jivox then puts them through an approval process before you can use them but it is less than a day at present for approval.
