Hi Guys,

I have recently joined a marketing forum and one of the members “Annelise” asked me if i could do a video showing how to make a video and then upload it to You Tube………so here goes.

1. Watch the first video here which i made for Annelise.

2. Now watch this video showing exactly how i put the first video together and the process and tricks i used in Camtasia Studio.

3. Watch this video which shows how you upload your finished video to You Tube

So there you go. I hope you find these videos really useful and they have helped you to learn how you can make your own videos.

I mentioned in the second video that you can get a free trial to Camtasia Studio and you just need to go to the website of the company that produce this at Tech Smith

I also mentioned the forum which i have recently joined called CBA which stands for Cambridge Business Academy and they have a great forum and you can also get some great free training as well

All the Best

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to share with you something very important and this is a survey that Jim Edwards has performed asking his subscribers for their thoughts on what makes a good video.

Now Jim is a very well known and respected marketer and i have been one of his subscribers for a long while.

Now more than 500 people took the survey so the results are really strong and show some great trends if you are using video marketing, you can get the survey report by going to survey results

THAT”S NOT AN AFFILIATE LINK

Now this has been a real eye opener for me because if you follow my training then most of my videos are around the 8-10 minute mark (The Survey shows that more than 35% of people prefer videos of 2-4 minutes long) so i need to change.

The second key point is that more than 35% of people prefer motion video (Real live person) vs (Screen Capture)…..and yes you can guess.

The majority of mine are screen capture which again shows i need to change.

I think that this important info for you and i am very glad to share this with you.

A big thanks to Jim Edwards……

All the best Guys

Hi Guys,

As you may be aware, quite recently I lost all of the content on this blog to hackers and yesterday I sent out messages to friends of mine in just to let them know about this so that they could pass it on and maybe save others the same issues.

Well to my surprise one of my friends Asbjorn called me on Skype and showed me a way in which i could still track back in Google and use the cache of my site to at least find some (not all) of my content.

So as i said in the blog post “You learn something new Everyday”

I will put together a short video of how you can do this in Google just in case it happens to you.

But it is important to realise that if you do not know what to do then it is likely one of your friends does or he/she might know somebody who does.

So although i have not got all my content back I at least have something to work with, so Asbjorn

“I would like to say a personal thank you for your help yesterday”

I am working to get as much content back up as quickly as possible and also get the Easy Websites with WordPress training videos reloaded and will get it done as soon as possible.

All the best

Hi Guys,

I was on my Twitter account today and just posted a few things i was doing today on Sunday.

It has nothing to do with marketing or business building, but myself and my wife decided to build a DIY Bird House so that we could put some food out for the smaller birds like sparrows and Robins.

You can check out our handywork below. Just wanted to post something a bit different than the normal marketing stuff.

Warning!!! DONT LET THESE PEOPLE BUILD YOUR HOUSE…..

All the best

Hi Guys,

I was doing some work on a couple of my sites today and was looking around the web at some sites and noticed that a lot of people are changing their headlines to use cool web 2 style fonts.

So you know me…..I always like to try and find my readers great resources at low or no cost so i got down to scouring the web to see what i could find and i think I have come up with a great collection of fonts you can check out.

These website fonts are very different and would definately spruce up any website headline.

They are not all free but their are some very good ones at no cost

I hope you enjoy these and please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

All the best

Hi Guys,

This is a bit of a weird post but i was coming home from the office on the bus tonight and had an idea for a motivational blog post and it is all down to my two daughters.

A few months back the Hannah Montana movie was released here in Poland and my two daughters  wanted to go and see the film so of course dad had to oblige.

The film was actually very good in my view but the lesson is one of the songs from the movies called “The Climb”

If you have not heard the song then you can listen by clicking on the video below. JUST LISTEN TO THE LYRICS……

Now i don’t know about you but i think that is a cracking song and really motivating to make you keep climbing towards the goals you have in your life whether they be personal or business.

If you want to see the dodgy version then check out below

All the best

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to write you a quick post about a free report I am writing at the moment that will help anybody to set up their own website quickly and easily using WordPress.

The report will be a combination of written content and screen capture images showing a step by step process to getting your own website set up using WordPress.

Once you get the report you will be able to set up a site in less than 20 minutes for free and i will also go into how you can get your own domain and set up a more interesting site with more functions and which you can really personalise.

Keep an eye out on the blog for “Easy Websites with WordPress”

All the best

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know about a report I have recieved from Stephen Pierce which is entitled ForCOSTing.

It is a really great resource which i think we can all use to help us in taking action and setting our goals for 2009. Even our New Years Resolutions

I have started to use the report to map out a plan for my business going forward and i think it’s a really solid piece of marketing/personal development material.

You can grab FORCOSTING now

All the best
