As an Internet Marketer one of the things I’ve learned about Internet Marketing is that you must always try to find new ways to promote your products and services. One area that I’ve needed and wanted to tackle over the last few months is Video Marketing.
Being on a tight budget just like many of you are, has led me to do some research on things before I jump into them and this was no different. So I needed to find some inexpensive Screen Capture Video Software I could use to make videos from my computer screen.
My Search For Screen Capture Video Software
I did my research in my spare time over the next couple of weeks. I had many options concerning which one of these programs I should pick. There were dozens of free programs, and dozens of paid programs I could use to make these videos.
All the free versions had different limitations when it came to what you were able to record, and editing the videos themselves. The paid versions all seemed to cost several hundred dollars. Not wanting to spend $300 if I didn’t need too, and since I already had Windows Movie Make to edit videos, I decided I’d go with the best Free Screen Capture Video Software I could find.
Choosing My Free Screen Capture Video Software
My research determined that the best free program I could find was one called “Cam Studio”. It was the least limiting as far as what I could record, and I found several different video tutorials online to help me.
I wrote out a really good script for my video and proofread it several times to get it just right. I purchased an external microphone so the audio quality would be really good. Then I started to do a few tests so I could make sure everything was coming out the way I wanted it too.
Figuring Out The Software
I soon found that the software’s default settings weren’t producing the quality that I wanted. So over the next several days I tinkered with all of these different settings (which I knew nothing about) and watched a bunch of different tutorials. After a lot of trial and error, I finally got my videos so they had good quality sound, and picture.
Creating My First Screen Capture Video
Disappointed it had taken me so long to get to this point I was finally ready to create my first video. I got everything I needed ready and started recording. Since this was my first video, I made a lot of mistakes in the first recording, and started over several times. Eventually I decided to just keep going because I could edit out any mistakes afterwards. Finished, I finally imported the video to Windows Movie Maker and started editing.
Several painstaking hours later, I finally got the video the way I wanted it, and saved it. I called my wife over and proudly said, “Check out our first video baby”! About 5 minutes into the video I started showing some websites I wanted to demonstrate. My wife and I both were surprised to see that the writing on the websites were almost impossible to read. Damn it! I’ll have to tinker with this some more and start over again!
I’m Tenacious
This went on for another week. Eventually I figured out how to use the Cam Studio Producer to edit the video, and it seemed to retain the quality better than when I edited it with Windows Movie Maker. I finally got the video as good as I could get it. Now I just needed to post it online!
Wait a minute, where did the video file go? Now I couldn’t find the video file outside of the Cam Studio program so that I could upload it to the Internet. Another couple of days went by and I fiddled with it when I could.
What I Learned
Days later and in complete discussed, I finally decided that I would have been much better off just purchasing the professionally made software program in the first place. I’d spent weeks up to this point and had no video to show for it.
I’m now going to purchase Camtasia so I can finally get this whole video marketing thing going. I still need to learn how to use Camtasia, but if all goes well I should have my first videos online in the next week. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Moral of this Story: That which is free can sometimes cost you more!
It's Me Karl Hummel
Are you involved in a Network Marketing Business Opportunity or thinking about joining one? If so then you’ll want to read the rest of this post, because the information I’m about to share with you can have a profound effect on your business and your future!
This is your opportunity to learn the prospecting, sponsoring, and recruiting secrets of one of the Network Marketing Industries top recruiters. And I’m not saying that lightly or hyping him more than he deserves. This gentleman is an absolute professional at the art of prospecting and sponsoring new distributors into his Network Marketing Business Opportunity.
Network Marketing Legend
I was first introduced to Mark about 1 ½ years ago. As I always do, I was looking for some new educational material that would be beneficial to my own business. I’m a true believer in improving my knowledge every day. As luck would have it, I stumbled upon a fellow Internet Marketer and Network Marketer named Mike.
I signed up for Mike’s mailing list, and was very impressed with the knowledge he shared with me. At that time he had just put together an audio training course on how to sponsor more people into your Network Marketing Business Opportunity. The audio course consisted of interviews with one of his Mentors named Mark Wieser. I purchased the course!
Mark had a different mindset when it came to prospecting and sponsoring people into his business opportunity and it really resonated with me. His approach was much more businesslike then anything I had ever heard before. And his mindset was much like I had been trained to think as a professional Recruiter when I was in the Army. Yes I was once a very successful Army Recruiter, LOL!
Top MLM Recruiter
After listening to the audios several times, I was amazed at the knowledge Mark shared. He was straight forward and didn’t pull any punches. I did some more research on him and found that he was one of the MLM Industries Top-Recruiters for over a decade. I eventually hooked up with Mark online and sent him a few emails, never expecting to hear from him, since I wasn’t in his Network Marketing Business, and I didn’t plan on joining.
I was shocked when I started getting emails back from him. Not only did he respond back, but he was very friendly and never once tried to recruit me into his business.
Surefire Sponsoring
Mark has taken the strategies and techniques that he’s developed over the years, and made a Network Marketing Training Course for other people in the Industry called “Surefire Sponsoring”. He holds nothing back in this course and explains all of the things that he does to remain one of the MLM Industries top producers year in and year out.
I truly believe that this course can help anyone in a Network Marketing Business Opportunity improve their Sponsoring efforts and grow their business. If you put the information he shares in this course to work, I believe you will see an overall improvement in both your mindset and your success. If you’re involved in a Network Marketing Business Opportunity or plan to join one, then I highly encourage you to check out his Surefire Sponsoring course. You can get more information about it at this link:
Surefire Sponsoring Course
The price for this course is less than you’d pay to go to the movies with your spouse, so I think it’s one of the best investments you could make in your business.
To Your Success!
Disclaimer: I was so impressed with Mark’s course that I signed up to become one of his affiliates. So, if you purchase something as a result of clicking on one of these links, I will probably make a few dollars from it, but I would recommend this course regardless. It’s that good!
There are a lot of Home Based Business Opportunities or Network Marketing Business Opportunities available to those who are interested in starting their own business.
With the economy being the way it is, and the way most companies now do business, a lot of people are looking for a different way to not only make money from home in their spare time, but to build a business of their own.
A good Home Based Business can not only help you accomplish this, but it can be the vehicle you use to create a full time income and a sustainable residual income, that will far out earn any retirement plan you could set up through investments.
Making Money With Network Marketing
Many people make a tremendous amount of money with their own Network Marketing Business. And a lot of people have tried to make money with Network Marketing Businesses and failed miserably. Maybe this has been your situation. There are good reasons why this happens.
- People Don’t Know How To Build A Network Marketing Business.
- They Needed Help From The People Who Sponsored Them.
- They Needed Help From Someone Who Is Successful Building A Network Marketing Business.
- They Never Got The Real Help, Support, And Guidance From Someone Successful.
- They Didn’t Really Dedicate Themselves To Building Their Business.
- They Couldn’t Afford To Keep Paying For Products Each Month When They Weren’t Making Money.
So eventually they get frustrated and quit, and it leaves them thinking that only the lucky ones make money in Network Marketing.
This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Anyone who has the right help (That’s the key), and is willing to do the work, can be successful in Network Marketing.
And this is where I can help you!
My Home Based Business Opportunity
I work my Network Marketing Business just like I would any other type of business I might be paid to manage as an employee and I refuse to fail! I have the support and personal guidance of “4” of my company’s top income earners. These are people who are all making 6 figures per month or more!
I understand as do my Mentors, that my success is a direct reflection of how many people I help achieve “Their Personal Goals”. If I can’t help you make the money you need to in your Network Marketing Business, I will never be successful myself!
My company has one of the best commission structures in the Industry, and many people have joined our company and made very nice commission checks their very first month. I can help you do the same thing if you want too. Just sponsoring one person will pay you over $120 right away.
My Business Opportunity
If you want the help, support, and guidance of not only myself, but several of the Network Marketing Industries biggest money earners, I’m here for you and so are they. I can’t promise you that you’ll make any money at all, no one can, but I can promise you that if you’re willing to do the work, I’ll do everything in my power to help you achieve the financial success you truly want!
If this is you, and you’d like to find out more about my business opportunity and what I, and my mentors bring to the table, all you need to do is enter your information below, and I’ll contact you personally as soon as I possibly can.
If you don’t like what I show you and the opportunity I have, then I wouldn’t expect you to join me. It’s as simple as that. I can also promise you that you’ll never find a better company, a better set of leaders, or anyone who will work as hard as I will to help you succeed!
I’m looking forward to talking to you in person, and together I truly believe with all my heart and soul that we can help you achieve all the success you truly deserve.

There are several reasons why you might want to consider writing your own eBook. First is so you can sell it to make money. And the second is so you can give it away to potential prospects when building a marketing list. As an Internet Marketer or for someone who is just getting started in Internet Marketing, EBooks are great for both of these purposes provided your eBook is about something others are interested in.
Writing An eBook
If you have the need for an eBook of your own and you don’t want to write one, you could always outsource the entire thing for a couple hundred dollars. But if you want to do it yourself you’ll need to write it in a software program like Microsoft Word. Word is easy to use and allows you to link your chapter titles in the “Content Section” directly to the chapter. It also allows you to have headers and footers which is extremely important.
Creating An eBook
Once you’ve finished writing your content and saved it in a Word Document, the next step is turning it into an actual eBook. All this consists of, is transferring your Word Document into a different format, and this is done through the use of a software program.
There are many types of software out there to perform this task, but they are not all alike. Some are much more difficult to use than others, and the prices vary tremendously. One of the good things about buying this type of software is that once you’ve purchased it, you can use it over and over and you never have to pay for it again.
One of the best software products on the market for this task is one I use called, eBook Generator. I’ve done a lot of research on this type of software and I believe that eBook Generator is one of, if not the best, products on the market. It gives you complete control of your eBook which is extremely important, it’s easy to use, and it’s very reasonably priced. You can pick up a copy of eBook Generator by clicking on this link:

Creating An eBook Cover
You’ll also need a cover for your eBook. Again this can be easily done by using an eBook cover creating software program. Just like with the eBook software, some eCover Software Programs are more difficult to use than others, and the prices vary a lot. The same company that makes eBook Generator also has a fantastic software program for this task, which is easy to use, and very affordable. It’s called eCover Generator. You can pick up a copy of eCover Generator by clicking on the link below:
eCover Generator
One of the nice things about using these two software programs is that because they were made by the same company, they work seamlessly together. And this is something that I think you will find is very important. There’s no reason to make things any harder on yourself than you need to, so using these two products will help in that regard.
So, now that you know what tools you need to create your own ebook, the only thing left for you to do is get started! Good luck and happy writing!
To Your Success!

Network Marketer Extrordinar
Many people in Network Marketing are wondering what 2010 and the future will hold for their business. In addition, many people who are being introduced to Network Marketing opportunities right now are wondering the same thing, “What is the state of Network Marketing in 2010”?
I recently received an email from one of my mentors and author of the book “Beach Money”, Jordan Adler. His email resonated with me and I think it will do the same for you, so I’ve decided to summarize it a bit and allow you to see his vision as well as mine.
Things have changed a little over the last five years or so. Five years ago many people had $30,000 to $500,000 of equity in their homes giving them the feeling that they were rich. Credit was easy to come by for most of us. Everyone who wanted one had a job and anyone who owned their own business seemed to be pulling in the big bucks. Five years ago the stock market was booming and people were making a fortune buying and trading stocks.
Today the equity in many people’s homes has disappeared and a lot of people now owe more on their homes than they’re worth. And unfortunately some people have even lost their homes. Today more people have lost their jobs then this country has seen in many years, and more and more businesses are going broke and closing down every day. Today, many of our retirement plans have diminished to the point where they are mere shells of what they once were.
This has lead people to become unsure of what their future holds and fearful! But the thing is, these conditions are conducive to explosive growth in Network Marketing as a whole! So how do we capitalize on this situation?
First we must keep things simple and just focus on doing the fundamentals that will help us grow our businesses.
And second, we must view our relationships with the people we come in contact with as our most valuable asset. We must preserve these relationships with vigor and for life. We must nurture them in caring and compassionate ways.
When we find someone who isn’t interested in our business opportunity we must continue to treat them with generosity and the utmost respect and honor.
As Jordan Adler himself says, “The right people will join you at exactly the right time as long as you have not burned any bridges”.
People are looking for ways to make additional income more today than ever before. I believe we owe it to them as well as ourselves, to make our Business Opportunity, our leadership, and our assistance available to these people. They’re looking for ways to improve their financial situations and we can help them with this!
So continue to work hard in your business and stay the course. The times we now find ourselves in may very well define both our businesses and ourselves.
I expect that 2010 will be one of the best years we’ve ever seen in Network Marketing! In my opinion the state of Network Marketing in 2010 and beyond looks very good. So if you’d like to join me, and your looking for a fantastic business opportunity then drop me a line at kwikkarl65@sbcglobal.net
To Your Continued Success!
