Every business has it’s frustrations. Even an Internet business. And this week was one of those weeks.First the server went down. Then the server came back up, but only a trickle of emails where getting through. Finally, the server people flipped a switch and we got 2000 emails in one day!

Or the time when we had a customer return a course 11 months after he bought it (a month before the refund period was over) and claimed that the information didn’t work. I looked on his site and
he was using MY squeeze page template and had a dozen ebooks he created using MY COURSE. Doesn’t work my foot!

So, every business has its frustrations. But do you want to know the antidote?

Thankfulness.

I thank God for my lovely and talented wife who helps me immeasurably to run this business.

I thank God for my 3 great children, each one pursuing their own dream.

I thank God for a house, 5 cars and 30 acres that are totally paid for (by His grace, not my brains!).

I could go on and on, but most of all I thank God for a relationship with His Son. When things get frustrating and people do stupid things, I make myself stop and remember all the gifts and
blessings God has given me.

And then I recall how much worse it was when I ran a construction company! 

Webinars and Live Events

Here’s a blueprint for success even if you have just an idea and no money

Richard Geller has started at least 15 businesses from his kitchen table. His first business was writing and selling newspapers in 4th grade, and he started his first successful business at age 18 with less than $500 cash, and sold that business for a return that would make your jaw drop.

In this fascinating and entertaining webinar, he tells you about some of the no-cash businesses he and his friends have started, and lets you be a fly on the wall as you see how they were done and
how you can do them too. He will also discuss How to Start a Terrific Business in Tough Times with No Cash, which he packed with all his knowledge and experience, a virtual no-cash business
starting brain in a box…and this will be available at the end of the webinar for a very special low price.

LIVE EVENT: Customer Appreciation Day
on Friday, October 23 in College Station, Texas!

Kerry and I want to invite you to our Customer Appreciation
Day in College Station and we are pricing it so low that there
should be no reason not to come.

http://www.8weekstoprofits.com/customerappreciation.php

Only $197. Let me put that into perspective.

Armand Morin’s Big Seminar – one ticket – $1,997
Yanik Silver’s Underground – one ticket – $3,497
Michael Penland’s Seminar – one ticket – $497
Dan Kennedy’s Super Conference – one ticket – $2,497
Jeff Mills’ Midwest Super Conference – one ticket – $1,997

And these events have MULTIPLE SPEAKERS that pitch from the stage!

Not ours…

Our Customer Appreciation Day will be just me and Kerry. No pitch fest. No hard sells. Just what works in today’s online environment and what doesn’t.

Plus you get to ask us all your questions.

But what if I don’t live in Texas? Since Texas is centrally located, a round-trip ticket from just about anywhere is less than $450. I know, I just flew to Baltimore and back a few weeks ago.

So come join Kerry and me for encouragement, inspiration, ideas and answers:

Recording Your Webinar The Easy Way!
by Stephen Beck

Recording webinars is very simple if you just use a few tricks
and have two computers.

Use your primary computer (mac or pc) to broadcast your webinar. I use the webinar service called GoToWebinar by Citrix because it is inexpensive and allows me up to 1000 attendees on a webinar at one time. Other webinar services have sliding scales and get very expensive in a hurry! Also, GoToWebinar allows you to have as many webinars in a month as you want. This is nice if you want to eexperiment by recording a few “dummy webinars”! I don’t use the recording function offered by most webinar services because I want to make totally sure that I get a clean recording. I’ve seen too many mishaps with outside recording services and you only have one shot at this. Also, I hate dealing with all the crazy files that different webinar services record in. Just record and edit in Camtasia and you’ll be fine!

So start broadcasting a webinar on your primary computer and then login as an attendee on your “recording computer”. Then open Camtasia on your recording computer and set the recording “box” for 640 x 480. You will also want to set the audio to the manual input setting.

Here’s a little trick to keep the echo and feedback down. Get a cord from the electronics store that has an 1/8″ jack on each end. Plug one end into the microphone hole and the other end into the headset hole and you will have a continuous loop. This allows you to talk as loud as you want and not have feedback or echo when your recording computer is right next to you.

Back to the actual recording part. Once you have the green recording box from Camtasia on, you need to resize your webinar to fit inside that box. Hit the record button, watch the sound levels and presto, you have a professional grade recording.

Now all you have to do is save that recording and edit it in Camtasia. Then render it for whatever application you need: CD, blog, web site, etc.
