Blog of the Week This week’s featured blog is that of Steven De Gracia who is one of my classmates in the Alex Jeffreys coaching course. I chose Steven’s blog to tell you about because he is so generous with his time and expertise in video creation and marketing and I wanted you to benefit from his tutorials. His site is basically a tutorial library for learning how to produce video in Camtasia and Windows Movie Maker. When Steven recommends a product, he creates a video to show you it’s advantages and how to use the system. At Steven’s site you can learn:
- how to get more traffic to your blog
- how to encrypt and cloak affiliate links
- make your own video tutorials
- how to install the Twitter plugin for WordPress
I interviewed Steven last night and the audio will be available soon. Steven shared a little about his background, how he got started in internet marketing, what his goals are and advice for people just starting out (it’s great advice for anyone). What he really wanted you to know is that he is available to help you if you’re struggling with video. He loves working with this medium and will create a tutorial about almost anything to help you learn what you need to know about making videos. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to visit Steven De Gracia and leave a comment for him. He’s got a heart of gold and wants to help you. Until next time, Theresa

I’m just getting ready to go into town for my weekly “day away from the office to run errands” time and wanted to let you know what’s been going on with me the last few days.
Creating Video With Camtasia
A couple of weeks ago I responded to a request from one of my Alex Jeffreys coaching classmates who wanted to have a video created for her. I had just gotten Camtasia and was excited about using this new toy/tool
.
It’s pretty easy to figure out basic operations, but I really got stuck with things like learning how to use the timeline to lengthen a slide or insert an audio clip and then synchronize it with the video. I searched Youtube and Google and found several great tutorials, but none of them showed me exactly what I needed to know about my particular project.
The video is done and has been sent off to the “client” and now I’m going to get to work on creating a video tutorial of what I’ve learned (after I get back from my day out).
Blog of the Week
The Blog of the Week is coming up on Friday. This week I’m featuring one of my classmates who has been very helpful with answering questions about video. I’ll be doing an interview with Steven De Gracia very soon and will post the audio to my blog.
Keeping you posted,
Theresa

Are you making money online yet?
This is the reason we’re all doing this, right?
I’ve been racking my brain for ideas to help you (and myself) to start seeing some action in the old Paypal account.
Why not do what the successful online marketers do?
Of course, that’s what we’ve been learning the past couple of months with Alex Jeffreys’ coaching course. In Alex’s last coaching module, he went over what we had been taught; kind of an overview. So, if we weren’t making money yet, we’d have a good idea why not. Go back to the
beginning, he said and do the things that you were taught, but didn’t follow through with.
Do one thing well.
I read something this morning that struck a chord with me. “Do one thing really well, then move on to the next.” This little phrase will be my motto and affirmation.
