Tutorial Video Posted
Filed Under Internet Marketing | 1 Comment
Hello folks! I just posted a tutorial video over to youtube. The video, is a brief tutorial showing you how to add video and other files to your wordpress.com hosted blog. It’s about 4 minutes long and has some decent, if not somewhat basic content on it. I used Camtasia Studio to create the video, and I have to say, the new version is a lot better than the last one that I had.
The last version of Camtasia that I owned, was version 3, the current version 5 is leaps and bounds better. I love the zoom and pan feature, I just need to get better at using it properly.

In terms of quality of the output, Camtasia 5 is way, way better than Camstudio.
However, I feel that Camstudio can get the job done in a pinch. The best thing that Camstudio has going for it, is the price ($0). Camtasia cannot match Camstudio’s price.
I know it’s a cliche, but I have to say it, you get what you pay for. If you don’t mind having a lower quality video presentation, albeit one that works and can be burned to CD or saved in a format that can be deployed online, Camstudio will get the job done. However if, and I do mean IF, you want to have a high quality product, that you can edit and render multiple times over, then Camtasia 5 is the way to go. No ifs ands or buts about it. Here’s the video that I posted, for your viewing pleasure.

Offline advertising idea

You know, there’s good advertising, there’s bad advertising and then there’s this. This lady auctioned off an ad location ON HER FOREHEAD on eBay. An online outfit that you may have heard of, paid her $10,000 to tattoo their company name on her forehead. I imagine that the lady really likes attention and may not necessarily be looking for any kind of professional employment, but I could be wrong about that. I have friends that have tattoos in some weird places, but no one I know has a tattoo on their forehead.
I’m all about free advertising and getting your word out to as many people as possible, but this seriously takes the cake. I wonder how long it will be until we see other copy cat auctions on eBay.
