Camtasia – Awesome Software

Posted on by

Have you ever come across an awesome computer program that when you use it, you say “this is awesome”. Camtasia is a program that I always say is “awesome”. Camtasia can record anything that is on your computer screen. It actually creates videos of what you are doing on your computer. You see the mouse moving, text typing, websites loading, anything you want. It also records audio. In the video that Camtasia creates, you can hear mouse clicks, sounds that are playing on your computer, and the sound of your voice that's recorded from a microphone you speak into. Can you imagine all the possibilities you can have with a program like this? You could record the steps to uploading a picture to Facebook, then put that video up on Youtube, and have people pay you to watch it. That's right, you could charge people to watch your video. With Camtasia, you could offer consulting to customers. If they have a question about how to order your product, you could create a Camtasia video that shows them exactly how to do that. There are just so many ways to use Camtasia, I could go on forever.

Internet Marketing Jobs: Is Your Staff J.O.B. Unsatisfying?

Posted on by

Is working for someone else ungratifying?

The World of Work 2010 report from Randstad found that half of all employees feel their skills are underused and around 10% have been forced to take up work that did not make full use of their abilities. People are looking for work outside the job that may better utilize their talents, not just for the extra income but for the satisfaction.

Justin Myers, a freelance editor and consultant, was first pushed to self-employment through redundancy. After taking a few months off to “get his head together”, Justin started freelancing with some shifts at an online newsdesk. Now he's working on two distinct projects and enjoys the lifestyle.

“Being your boss is a magical feeling; you feel really empowered and I love having responsibility for myself. Additionally, being a consultant, I've found that clients really value my opinion and input. I don't think you get that perceived level of confidence when you're in a staff job.”

Pursuing employment with online training, whether for yourself or getting a better job elsewhere, starts with a school you can trust. A school with a staff that have  put into place the real world skills that it takes to make money. The Internet Marketing Training Center is the resource you need to make an impact on a tough job market. An impact that you can trust to make your life more fun and interesting….

Video Marketing – What is it?

Posted on by

Video marketing consists of posting your videos to sites so people can watch and comment on them. Sites like Facebook, Youtube, Metacafe, Myspace, and many others accept videos. Videos get people to comment and share with their friends, just like they do with comments to posts. All of this sharing and commenting can build connections that in turn will get you customers. Video is a powerhouse when it comes to media marketing.

It contains all the other elements listed above: text, audio, images, and graphics. That makes it very powerful. Also, a lot of people don’t have the skills to create video on their own. This means that there aren’t as many videos on a subject compared to an article on the same subject.

That gives video more value. However, videos are harder to make search engine friendly. Articles are still the easiest for Google to find. But there’s good indication that video may or may not over take articles in the eyes of Google and other search engines in the near future, so getting on the video bandwagon now could be a huge benefit to your career.

With a little training, you could increase your value to a company and increase what you earn. It’s time you took your career to the next level of professionalism. If you are ready to do that, here is the place to start.
