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.

Why An Internet Business Is Best For Me

I'm presenting a full day workshop at the local community centre in a few days. My topic - Start an Internet Home Business For Under $100. With more than a dozen ways to make money on the Internet, this will be a brief introduction of all the possibilities that exist online. There is no way I can cover too much in depth - but I hope to inspire people to try. Who am I to be telling anyone anything? Well, in the past few years I have learned more than I realize. I created a mindmap with six main topic areas - finding a niche, what you need to get started, monetizing, places to sell, getting traffic, and other possible options such as video and audio. Mindmapping was an easy way for me to see all the different things I could talk about. The hardest part is narrowing it down to what can be consumed in one day without causing information overload. In the past, when I've presented workshops on topics like eBay, the only negative comments I've ever had are always about too muc...

New Year, How Are You Doing?

I've got a good feeling about this year. I'm finally getting it as far as understanding affiliate marketing. People have told me before that it isn't that difficult, but I think something needs to click and it finally has. I'm still doing a lot of offline workshops for the local community centre and have also started renting my own venue to present them. I've done two so far. The first one I allowed people to pay at the door. Big mistake. They registered, but then sent me an email at the last minute saying they couldn't come. So after I paid for the location, I was in the hole. The second one I did, I finally got smart and put a Paypal registration on my website. So much easier, not to mention nice to get the Paypal notification that I had made a sale. Ended up with three times as many paying attendees and they paid $5 more each than the first group. Lest you think I made a fortune, my first workshop only had two payees, but it sounds better to say three t...

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...
