Power Presenters

Audio c4 - web audio done right!

So why am I recommending a book about adding audio to your website on a page recommending video products? Because Paul Evans, author of Audio C4 is a great public speaker who has mastered how to teach others the presentation skills they need to succeed. And, the same techniques, tips, and training you need to present in person, or put audio on your website, are also the skills, techniques and tips that will turn your video messages from blah to compelling.

Audio C4 is a resource that includes an ebook, audio examples, video, templates, message script examples, and step be step instructions on how to create the best messages before your record a word. Even with all that, I find myself reaching for one of the items Paul includes as a bonus even after years of creating audio and video messages most often. His "blueprints" are an invaluable aide to making sure I haven't missed a beat when it comes to planning, producing and practicing scripts that meet six different goals of my visitors...and my business.

MSI Prompt - a personal teleprompter

As far as I'm concerned this is a MUST HAVE piece of software that I use every time I create a new video or audio to post to my website. MSI Prompt is a personal teleprompter that makes me sound like a pro announcer.

Quentin Brown, head of MSIncome software and the maker of MSI Prompt is quick to point out that this software will not reverse text, etc. the way a "production studio" teleprompter will, but I think that's a blessing. The "limited" capabilities of MSI Prompt put it in an exceptionally affordable price range (just $44.95 versus the $200 plus price tags of those professional teleprompters).

More importantly, as far as I'm concerned, they mean the product is stripped down to a point where it does what it's supposed to do very simply and directly. Believe me, when I'm recording an audio or video message, I have many more things to concentrate on than the operation of my teleprompter.

As I said, I consider this an essential piece of software, but...I recommend you take a close look at buying this product along with a couple of others offered by this company. Check out the multimedia "Package 1" bundle below. I think you'll agree that the value of the software offered here jumps from great to exceptionally great for both audio and video use when paired with software that allow you to customize the look of your audio player, or add additional sound tracks with just a few extra mouse clicks which you'll want when you're ready to move on to more advanced audio techniques.

Streaming video subscription service
- for personal use

Email became the most widely used communication tool on the planet because its a fast, inexpensive and relatively easy way to keep in touch with friends and family around the world. Now you don't have to sacrifice seeing and hearing from your friends and family, or settle for losing them at all because the words they used in their message tripped a spam filter somewhere. With video, you can go far beyond hoping that your Internet communications work:

• Your emails will get to your recipients without attachments, long downloads or special players.
• Your video on demand will bring those special events to life on your website or in your blog (coming soon).
• Unlimited video chatting will help you get and stay closer to the ones you love.

And best of all, you can easily create and manage all of this from one, web based account that you can access from anywhere. It's more than an email account, or a consolidated address and calendar system. It's more than a huge online storage area guarded by one of the strongest spam filters around. It's probably more affordable than your monthly cell phone bill, and it doesn't come with a padlock that chains you to a long term contract. Take me where I can learn to say "HelloWorld"

Streaming video business opportunity

Spending on streaming media topped $2 billion at the end of 2004. By the end of 2008, it's expected to be a $12 billion marketplace. Where will all that growth come from?

From individuals, and businesses, doing what they do everyday!.There are close to one billion people online today, sending more than 35 billion emails to each other every day. It took us nearly ten years to reach this milestone. The online population is expected to reach 1.5 billion in less than 3 years, and the number of emails will increase at an even faster rate, reaching 150 million or more in the same time period. Tell me how I can profit from this opportunity!
