Happy Monday!
It's a long time since our last weekly roundup and we miss you guys very much.
Honestly, we've been extremely busy these days to bring you the best experience on Visual Contenting. That said, we've made some tweaks to our site so that you can connect, make friends, interact and communicate with each other via our site.
Major changes to the site that you can make the most benefits are:
- For marketers: You can find your dream jobs (part-time, full-time or temporary positions) in marketing via our job site.
- For entrepreneurs/agencies: find your team members by posting a job on our job board.
We're trying to bring more value to our marketers by transforming this site into an open community for people to discuss about all things marketing and business. So it would be great if you could give us your thoughts and/or opinion about how we can best serve you.
Hope you all have a great week ahead.

Avoiding Mobile App Marketing Pitfalls
Calling the mobile app market over-saturated is an understatement. As of March 2017 there were 2.8 million Google Play apps and another 2.2 million in the Apple store. That makes marketing essential for any app that hopes to capture an ounce of attention. But simply committing to mobile app marketing is not the same as succeeding at mobile app marketing.

Clearly lack of effort is not the problem but rather the precise calibration and calculation of marketing elements. Use these strategies to help you avoid the most common mobile app marketing pitfalls.

Make a Custom Logo with DesignEvo
Logo speaks a lot about branding. An excellent logo will not only help establish brand recognition, but build customer trust and deliver brand values as well. So carefully tailor your logo to suit your business profile is a necessity.

With this in mind, DesignEvo, a free online logo maker, is a perfect solution.
