How-to If you are interested, you can set up an online business and make money doing it. All it takes is a little bit of guidance and some hard work. But once it is set up, you can really do well. One of my favorite ways is to sell “one off products.” I use the information in my head about a topic. I’m very familiar with, host a webinar, or a teleseminar, record it, and then sell it over and over again.
When promoting a one off product, you will want to follow these six easy steps.
Your first step is to pick a familiar subject. It should be something you can talk about for at least one hour, and I am convinced that everyone has a topic like that, whether it is pie making, photography, or automobile repair. No matter the topic, keep it simple because your goal is to quickly put out some good, helpful content that will generate cash flow. Read more...

Computer Webinars are one of the most effective communication tools of all time. Imagine creating your own webinar and presenting your ideas, products or services to hundreds (even thousands) of people at the same time! You are just a few easy steps away from maximum communication efficiency!
Step 1: Design a presentation with a strong call to action.
Whether you are using the webinar to sell condos or tell them you are the best dentist in town, every webinar should have a call to action. That “call to action” could be go to my web site and buy my product …or it could be pick up the phone and schedule an appointment, but the goal of every webinar is to get the webinar attendee to DO SOMETHING! Never forget this.
Create a powerpoint presentation that educates and engages your attendees. Tell them exactly what you want them to do and how to do it. This is the most fundamental rule of webinar planning.
Step 2: Choose a webinar hosting company.
Choose a webinar hosting company that accommodates your needs and your budget. There are quite a few to choose from. If you anticipate less than 1000 attendees and you plan on doing several webinars in a year, I suggest using GoToWebinar. Read more...

Uncategorized Trying to record your webinar?
I can give you a few tips, but before I do, let me explain why you would even want to record it at all.
- Replays
There will be some people who are interested in your products even though they couldn’t come to your initial webinar. So recording it and allowing potential customers to replay it could generate more sales and more leads to other customers.
- Product Creation
A webinar recording makes a great stand-alone product when you upload it to a password protected site or burn it to a CD.
- Training Module
This one is related to “product creation” above. Record a webinar so you can add the recording to an existing product or perhaps extra training on a specific topic. You could even record webinars and use them as bonuses to give away with the purchase of one of your major products.
So, what does it take to record a webinar?
Some webinar hosting companies have a recording feature built in, but you always want your own recording as a back up. And strange as it may sound, your recording may higher quality. Read more...

Computer Once you have the necessary equipment and know a few tricks, you can start recording webinars in no time.
You will need to use your primary computer (pc or mac) to broadcast your webinar. If you are looking for a cheap webinar service to get started, then I recommend GoToWebinar by Citrix to avoid the inflated costs that other companies will charge. This company will allow you to accommodate up to 1000 participants on a webinar which is much more than what other webinar services have to offer. Never try to do this in a hurry as it will prove to be quite expensive. If you plan to have more than one webinar in a month, then GoToWebinars is an excellent solution for this. The best part is that they allow you to be able to test yourself by having practice webinars.
You will need a recording computer and a broadcasting computer to be able to set up your webinar. You should set the recording box on your recording computer to 640 x 480 once you open Camtasia. You will then be able to broadcast and participate in your own webinar from your broadcasting and recording computer respectively. Make sure that the audio is set for manual input. Read more...
