Adding Video The Easy Way

I just created my first youtube video and it wasn't too hard at all. Of course, if you look closely, the lighting is probably off. That didn't occur to me.

I'm not looking directly into the camera. I didn't have a tripod, so I held the camera up in front of me. The result is a far-away gaze every so often.

And I my daughter says I looked nervous. Really, I was just having trouble reading my cue cards.

Anyway, the point is - I DID IT! I got myself a Flip video camera and they are awesome. The sound and picture quality are really good and it comes with wires to plug into your tv and watch if you like. At under $200, it's easy to use and comes with push button software to upload it to youtube or other places.

Here I am - hold the applause and stand in line for autographs please.

    Good Job. Guess I missed his (Kevin Reilly)URL, could you post it. By the way this Oct I'll turn 70 and am getting tired of trying to survive on SS. I need to get and stay FOCUSED

    You are so right Robert. Focus is the only thing that can keep us on track. And it's so hard when we see all the offers coming from guru after guru. We need to decided on our direction and if the things we read don't line up with those goals, they need to go on the back burner.

    As for Kevin Riley's URL, I've posted it as a link in a new post in case others are looking for it too. I intend to do a review of his products so you can see if any of them line up with your goals. He also has a number of free products you can download.

    Here's to a great income online by the time you turn 70.

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol
