Hello friends and neighbors. I come to you today with a heavy heart.

I’ve spent about 20 hours per day for the last five days trying to accomplish the following:

1. Create a Camtasia video
2. Get said video up to YouTube
3. Display said YouTube video on this blog

Please keep in mind I had never done any of these things before. And, sadly, I was able to accomplish all but number three. But first let me tell you about numbers one and two…

Camtasia is a great program, or so I’m told. I watched each of the first six tutorials on how to use it at least two times each. But things didn’t exactly work out exactly as depicted in the tuts. For me, anyway.

It could, of course, be my machine. It’s old and woefully lacking in certain areas. First, it only has one gig of RAM. Second, the video card only has 32 megs of on-board RAM. BUT, it’s a screamer! It has dual Pentium 4 Xeon chips and can keep up with even the latest, greatest technology. Maybe just not in the full-motion video arena.

Okay, so my first—and biggest—problem was (is) computer response. I was trying to make an on-screen tutorial about autoresponders and how to set them up. It turned out to be impossible because with my browser (FireFox 2) and Camtasia (Studio 5) running everything slowed to a crawl. I’d click a link in FireFox and it would take up to a minute to load the page! I tried closing all other programs, tried lowering my screen resolution down to 1028×764 and cutting my color depth down to as low as it will go. No joy; nothing helped.

So I scrapped that idea and tried a Photoshop tutorial. Recording goings-on in Photoshop was at least doable, but still very slow and choppy. Maybe with practice I could get used to it, but I’d have to spend a lot of time editing out all the wait times between clicks and responses.

My quest to find out how to fix the problem continues. My next trouble was with YouTube. Trying to find out the best format and resolution for YouTube took hours. And I’m still not sure; it seems every video I watched on the subject recommended something different. But I was able to get my lame video up and watchable. The audio even works. Tip: until I learn more, I’m using the .mov format.

Please click the link at the end of this post to watch the video.

Okay, that takes me to my last problem—getting the video to display here.

After many long hours of hair-pulling and head-banging, I finally found out why my embed code kept disappearing from my post here. (A big THANK YOU to all you Fortunate500 members for trying to help!) It wasn’t anything I was doing wrong. And it wasn’t any glitch in YouTube’s embed code.

It turns out the owner of the company hosting this blog (myccblog) does not allow Java scrips to run here. All that work for nothing! I messaged the owner requesting that he allow Java til at least February 2nd. I’ve not received a response from him yet but if you return here and see a video, you’ll know he said yes. No vid means either he didn’t answer or his answer was no.

One last thing: just before I sat down to write this, I put my video up on MetaCafe. I tried their embed code because it didn’t look like it had any script in it. That didn’t work either. Methinks my efforts in this endeavor are doomed.

Lesson Learned: NEVER host your stuff with anyone other than yourself.

Thanks for reading. Oh, BTW, the video is about How To Make A Video Without a Camera Using Photoshop and Camtasia.

Hello all. The offer that was originally here is no longer valid. I have pulled the product and am completely revamping it.

One of the links inside won’t be any good after this Friday, Jan 9. And I’m re-writing it with fresh new info and new links. I’m even renaming it. Plus, I’m upping the price. But don’t worry, the price will be the same as it was for Alex students and their offer still stands.

Any of you interested in the Resale Rights Express free trial, grab it now because Jeff is pulling the offer this Friday. The link is:

http://secretaffiliatemethods.com/recommends/RRexpress

Those of you who already bought it—thank you! You will be getting an email from me explaining the situation. And, of course, you will also get the new version free.

One request to those who bought it: Please don’t resell it or distribute it in anyway in its current form. I want the new version to be the only one out there.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.  But you will get a better product as a result.

To Your Success,

Since Module 4, when Alex came out about Twitter, I’ve been doing a lot of research and found this short report. It’s about how to use Twitter to boost your blog traffic. It also comes with Master Resale Rights. But be sure to read the rules on page 3 before you distribute it.

To keep this post short, here are the chapter titles for the book:

1. What is Twitter and How Can it Help Me?
2. 4 Ways Twitter Can Help Jumpstart Your Blog Traffic!
3. Using Twitter
4. How to Post for Success on Twitter
5. How to Use Twitter Effectively!
6. Following the Etiquette of Twitter

Welp, that’s it. I hope you get a lot out of this short report. It’s only 13 pages long, but is packed with good tips and ideas. And, of course, it will answer your question “What is Twitter?”

If it helps you at all, please post back here and let me know!

Here’s the direct download:

Thanks and have fun!

This is just temporary until I complete my “claim.”

I lied. This is not going to be a temporary post. At least not until I figure Technorati out. Hows about some help, people? Comments? Tips? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, Paul Livingston here with an admission of stupid…

About three weeks ago I sent a broadcast to my lists about giveaways. In that letter I told them I don’t usually promote giveaways, and that was true…at the time.

Since then I’ve learned that giveaways are one of the fastest and easiest ways to build your list. How did I learn this? Well, I set up my tracking to compare results from my first-ever giveaway against results I get from my other sources of free traffic: traffic exchanges and safelists.

To put it mildly, the resulting stats stunned me. Using the same squeeze page, one giveaway gave me more than five times the number of sign-ups I got from the other methods! And the giveaway only took about ten minutes to set up, while the other methods of free traffic take hours every day.

Have you ever heard the term, “Work smarter, not harder?” Well, this is a prime example of that. Just think what my results could have been if I had spent those hours joining more giveaways instead of surfing! (Since then I’ve joined more giveaways, naturally.)

I have two excellent reports for you detailing exactly how to set these giveaways up for yourself, even if you don’t have anything to give away!

The first one is presented by myself and was written by Alex Jeffreys. It’s a free download and can be found here:

http://secretaffiliatemethods.com/ListBuilding

After grabbing the book, you will be presented with an offer. I strongly recommend you take it. It is worth several times the $47 cost. It’s a series of instructional videos showing you how to build your list and earn a fantastic income doing so. Plus, it comes with a membership to DeskTopBucks–a $147 value.

I shouldn’t even tell you about the second book. I’m creating competition for myself. But here it is anyway:

http://www.plivingston.com/presents/ezgive

This one is from Mike Paetzold, another six-figure earner. This product is not free, but real cheap ($7)
and comes with a system already set up for you. Pages and everything.

I’d grab it all if I were you, this stuff is gold.

Okay, last but not least… you need a giveaway to contribute to. This one is Reed Floren’s. Get your gift up here and it will get super exposure. http://plivingston.com/suggests/RFcontributer

Or, if you just want to grab the goodies, go here:

Hey, this will be fun!

Good luck,

Hi there,

This is a good one!

When videos started to grow popular on the Internet in the past couple of years, the Internet Marketing landscape started to change. Affiliate Marketing is not exempt from that change.

The biggest mistake many people make in affiliate marketing is not capturing the opt-in leads first before sending their visitors to the merchant’s website. So what smart marketers often do is have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt into their list before sending them to the website they are an affiliate for. This is so the affiliate marketer can build his own opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.

A few exceptionally smarter marketers take this to the next level.

=====> THEY IMPLEMENT VIDEO MARKETING, TOO.

You probably notice most top Internet Marketing experts are now using videos on their Squeeze Pages. And
smarter affiliates are also doing the same for their own, for one obvious reason:

Videos can skyrocket your traffic and sales conversions!

Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that to begin with, you have to know how to make your own videos. And even if you could do your own videos, what if you learn the affiliate program doesn’t convert well after all? Affiliate Power Videos removes all these barriers.

At Affiliate Power Videos, you get 10 unique, high-converting Video Squeeze Pages, and 5 new ones every month. So all you have to do is:

Step 1: join any or all of the listed affiliate programs (free) — (They even list Soren’s IM Success Formula!)

Step 2: Upload the video and squeeze pages to your web host

Step 3: Start driving in traffic, build your opt-in list and rake in affiliate sales!

You might be thinking that this is going to be a costly monthly membership - maybe $97, $197 or even $297 a month. You’re going to be in for a pleasant surprise — this one’s on the house (read: zero cost)!

Here it is again:

Sign up for your free Silver membership access now and don’t delay - because I know you could very well have your own string of affiliate video businesses up and running by tonight, with or without any technical experience on your part!

Have you ever heard of Jimmy D. Brown? Well, I hadn’t; at least not before Jerry Reeder told me about him. I trust Jerry implicitly, so I checked out Mr. Brown and signed up for his free ecourse,
21 Email Success Tips.

That was about a week ago and all I can say is Thank you Jerry and Jimmy! Each and every one of these 21 letters contains a single tip that can—or, I should say will—increase responses from your list. And they are simple and easy to implement. They are just things the regular Joe never thinks about.

Everything from getting your messages delivered, to getting them opened, to getting them read, all the way to getting them responded to is covered in this series. I strongly suggest you sign up for this free series. Do it right now, right here!

I know you’ve heard “The Money Is In The List.” But that’s only true if your list members take action! Discover how to communicate properly with your list and get things done! Sign up here, it’s free:

I have to tell you right off the bat, Soren Jordansen’s Internet Marketing Success Formula knocked me for a loop when I read it.

It’s bursting at the seams with useful information Soren gleamed from is own experience and— more importantly— from conducting scientific surveys of internet marketers.

Basically, the average internet marketer is a new marketer who desperately wants to make enough money so they can quit their day job but doesn’t have the foggiest idea how to actually do it.

There is one startling finding that many seasoned marketers overlook, or just plain don’t know, and it is from this fact that Soren lays out a detailed, proven, tested, step by step plan.

The book is written for the new marketer or for any other marketer who is stuck and hasn’t yet experienced success online.

When you get right down to it, it’s a roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty how-to guide on starting an internet business from scratch.

Everything, and I mean everything, is covered. From choosing a web host, building a squeeze page, monetizing the list building process, how to set up a profit pulling email series and what types of affiliate programs convert the best to creating trust and creditability.

The traffic generation system starts with methods that generate tons of free traffic immediately and progresses through more advanced and time consuming tactics as well as using paid traffic to build your business.

The only thing I wished Soren would have spent more time on was the chapter where he shows you how to take it to the next level. However, it’s really for internet marketers who need to get their basic hands-free affiliate system set up and running first. And hey, what can I expect for free anyway?

Now, what makes Soren’s report stand head and shoulders above every other basic how-to guide are the real life examples Soren is currently using in his own business. He doesn’t waste your time with fictional dog training case studies or other such nonsense.

And get this, Soren is letting people rebrand this e-book for a ridiculously low price.

I’m not kidding when I say using the methods revealed in The Internet Marketing Success Formula could mean the difference between you becoming one of the scant few percent making real money online or still spinning your wheels trying make sense of internet marketing and
going nowhere fast!

My recommendation is to get your hands on this free e-book and follow the steps exactly as Soren says.

I recently was privy to an incredible software application… that finds people on the internet already interested in your product or service!

I got it and tried it. And it works great! Just as advertised. In fact, a quick test found 34 fresh, new leads in just 18 seconds…who’ve said “YES, I’m interested.”

I’ve had it about a week now and have generated thousands of leads for the products I promote. What used to take DAYS now takes minutes. Literally! An added bonus is it’s actually fun to use…I kid you not.

See for yourself how incredible this app could change your internet business. There’s a video about it here:

Thanks for reading and
Good Luck & Have Fun!
