 11:05 colmcgunnigle : Great hair, right?

 11:05 colmcgunnigle : (Sherman’s hair is always a hot topic

 11:06 shermanlive : Shopp Plugin

 11:06 technorev : TechnoRev is in the house

 11:06 thedvshow : that is a great plugin choice sherman

 11:06 shermanlive : www.Interspire.com

 11:06 lenapple : I’m gonna throw in Zen Cart. You can drop a wordpress blog into the cart. But I do them separately.

 11:07 shamahyder : for a VERY simple cart- ejunkie.com does a decent job right.

 11:07 SelfMadeCelo : Magento?

 11:07 jeetkundo12 : what’s going on with the wordpresstut membership site

 11:07 ustreamer-85086 : 1 shopping cart

 11:07 gesman : SelfMade, Magento is sweet, but it’s not like it’s a plugin

 11:07 SelfMadeCelo : I’ve been looking into X-Cart as well. That one is pretty widely used

 11:07 colmcgunnigle : I use zencart too … anybody know any super-knowledgeable zen guys who I can hire out?

 11:08 shermanlive : camcorderinfo.net

 11:08 colmcgunnigle : I usually do it myself but am getting too busy

 11:08 shamahyder : thank you

 11:08 lenapple : I exclusively use Zen Cart

 11:08 ustreamer-85086 : 1 shopping cart makes it easy for affiliates, credit cards and auto responders

 11:08 colmcgunnigle : (guys or gals, that is

 11:08 lenapple : I can do a lot of customization…

 11:09 IanStuart : Is there a plugin/widget to insert 125×125 ads in WP or do you have to use a theme that already supports them?

 11:09 SelfMadeCelo : 1ShoppingCart is okay, but I’m looking for something I can host myself

 11:09 colmcgunnigle : if interested in extra work, drop me your contact info

 11:09 sandraschubert : Hello everyone off my call…

 11:09 SelfMadeCelo : I’ll check out Zen Cart as well. SO many choices lol

 11:09 realsource : I have seen 15k during the Obama acceptance speech

 11:10 lenapple : difference between 1 shopping cart (which is great) and zen cart would fall in product numbers. I have a cart online that has 5000+ products. This would not be pratical w/ 1 shopping cart…

 11:10 ustreamer-9875 : My zencart has 7000 products and is working great!

 11:10 realsource :  I have seen 15k simultaneous users on Ustream during the Obama acceptance speech

 11:10 reslynn : from my experience when it comes to videocam. esp. in HD, windows/mac compatible, ext. mic/headset capable,..if possible webcam capable too…im using canon hg 10 w/c is HD and also great doing static pictures

 11:10 thedvshow : cams I recommend cli.gs/SM6sYm

 11:10 SelfMadeCelo : How’s the support with ZenCart? Noticed it was a free solution

 11:11 sandraschubert : Does Sherman have a cold? Sherman?

 11:11 shamahyder : looks good!

 11:11 aishaladon : Im not sure if this is a geeky tech question, but what method of homeshcooling do you do. Unschooling or what?

 11:11 ustreamer-9875 : Zencart Forums have helped me through 4 years of hickups and coding

 11:11 seabix : www.nowlive.com/

 11:11 ustreamer-77636 : Have you heard about youtube rejecting duplicate video submissions? What is your best way to get video ranked?

 11:11 TheSecretFog : I used 1 shopping cart for a year…they refuse to delete any member/affiliate who are inactive..total waste of space and you can get better for less.

 11:11 colmcgunnigle : there are always tech peeps on the zencart forums and they respond pretty quickly

 11:11 realsource : @Selfmadecelo - I use cubecart and oscommerce

 11:11 SelfMadeCelo : okay cool, thanks colmcgunnigle

 11:13 thedvshow : and its in your software gesman

 11:13 gesman : i use it and like them

 11:13 Tom_M : gotta say Denis @ SemPro was pretty helpful with SemPro.  Very responsive, it took one day.  My experience @ Elance, guru and Craigs was not so hot (for this) looking for help on the conversion of the static site to SemPro   

 11:13 lenapple : @jeetkundo12 - I use “metatags” simple and very simple, quick to use. Get great SE results

 11:14 gesman : yes, thats why i can safely recommend it 

 11:14 graphic_guy : Sherman,  any suggestions for managing passwords online or Mac app

 11:14 Tom_M : Sherman, am I the only one who’s having a tough time getting used to the new dashboard in WP ????

 11:14 gesman : my wife uses 1ShoppingCart, so I’ll have an extra vote for it

Wendy Y Bailey Interviews Sherman Hu on Wordpress Blogging for Business

Wendy Y Bailey of DIY Tech Talk is a colleague and social media buddy on Twitter. She interviewed me about the use of Wordpress for business, and expanded on topics ranging from purpose of a blog for business use, plugins - along with my favorite plugins, themes - along with which 3 I recommend, integration with social media, and how to rank well and be visible on Google with blogs.

In this conversation, I shared edu-taining strategies using video to be visible, outrank your competition, and build your brand and expertise - tune in to this part of the conversation! 

As always, I appreciate your feedback and comments on your takeaways, and your thoughts on this video’s content. Cheers!

 03:55 LifeCoachMary : Are plugins easy to install, or is it best to delegate to VA?

 03:56 LisaVanAllen : Give me a call Wendy!

 03:57 LisaVanAllen : Answer Mary’s question about whether we should hire a VA for our plugins??

 03:57 WendyYBailey : Plug-ins are easy but do delegate to a VA so you can focus on doing what you truly love — coaching!

 04:05 shermanlive : lol - good for you!

 04:05 LifeCoachMary : If we’re a newbie with plugins, what’s the one or two we should add first?

 04:05 WendyYBailey : elance.com

 11:03 ustreamer-48502 : realsource

 11:06 ethosmethod : awesome dude, thanks!

 11:06 technorev : What kind of fixture do you use?

 11:06 technorev : for the lights

 11:06 RobNelson : Light color balance ?

 11:06 eldonletkeman : Sherman just explained it perfectly.  Make sure your background is lit well. As well, bouncing lights of of reflective or white surfaces can help smooth out the lighting

 11:07 ethosmethod : thanks eldon!

 11:07 ethosmethod : (workin’  on that white backdrop)

 11:08 technorev : I mean to use my own videos .  I know how to copy the embed code from video sharing people.  But I want to embed my own videos without the commercials or icons of like YouTube, etc.

 11:08 markress : WORD UP DJ ShermySherm!!!!

 11:08 BiggiFraley : Hi all, running late because comcast guys keep disonnecting me while putting new box on our cable mess out there.

 11:08 eldonletkeman : try not to use straight lights, on yourself, diffuse the lights with some translucsent material

 11:08 ethosmethod : where is best place to get a white backdrop?

 11:08 markress : Go Shermy Go Shermy Go Shermy

 11:08 RobNelson : What is the quickest method to create a video to upload to tubemogul from powerpoint slides?

 11:09 vinniev : I’m creating a memorial site for my friend using wordpress.  Is there an easier way for the family (non-techies) to write posts, add pics & videos other than going thru the dashboard?   

 11:09 eldonletkeman : Yuo can find some at a material store, something nice and solid

 11:09 ethosmethod : tx eldon

 11:09 markress : Camtasia that Rob!

 11:09 markress : That’s what I would do just record my PPT slides then upload that to TubeMogul

 11:10 eldonletkeman : good white curtains are great, as long as the material is free of pattern or design

 11:10 eldonletkeman : then light the crap out of it, open the camera iris and wash out the back

 11:10 ethosmethod : Love the lo-tech Shermy-Sherm! 

 11:10 RobNelson : Markress Camtasia is kinda pricey to test with. . free tools?

 11:11 BiggiFraley : @vinniev I use the free Windows Live Writer that’s as easy to use as Word to post to a blog, pictures and all.

 11:11 realsource : @robnelson camtasia is free for 30 days

 11:11 shioti-1 : hi sherman.  any special settings when you record your show? I tried recording my ustream broadcast but it freezes.  and do you use a mixboard for you mic?

 11:11 ethosmethod : Rob, try CamStudio

 11:11 markress : You can try to use Jing Rob but output is SWF which not sure if TubeMogul accepts SWF or not. Jing is FREE, Camtasia 3 is FREE and there is also CamStudio IM!!!!!!!!!

 11:11 markress :

 11:12 markress : Stop allowing hurdles to get in your way Rob. Breakthru those barriers bud.

 11:12 markress : YOU CAN DO IT ROB!

 11:12 markress :

 11:13 IanStuart : missed those bulbs.. flourescent? wattage?

 11:13 RobNelson : Thats what I’m trying to do .. I do not like to waste time with tools that do not work well.. so why not ask the best like U Mark and Sherman

 11:14 shermanlive : WimpyPlayer.com

 11:14 ethosmethod : Sherman & all: Audioacrobat.com is great for hosting videos, audios and gives you imbed code. $20 a month. If you do affiliate link, you’ll never pay it. I don’t. 

 11:14 eldonletkeman : IanStuart: Compact flourescent, preferably non-flicker, any wattage will do, they tend to be low anyways

 11:14 technorev : Thanks so much for the info on the player and the lights.  I was just about to pay lots of money for lights

 11:14 IanStuart : Tks Eldon

 11:15 maverick88 : @sherman How do I convert a csv file to an rss feed for wordpress

 11:16 realsource : What are you using for the green screen 

 11:16 shermanlive : AnimotoBusiness.com

 11:17 realsource : Almost lost it with the Michael Jackson mix - started to dance

 11:17 markress : Animoto is cool for quick on the fly videos.

 11:17 markress : We use them for marketing affiliate prods.

 11:18 markress : Keynote on the Mac

 11:18 ethosmethod : realsource - in sherman’s feed about three months ago I think is a whole thing on the greenscreen…

 11:18 RobNelson : Thanks for the encouragement Mark!

 11:18 markress : Np

 11:18 realsource : thanks ethosmethod - will go there and look

 11:19 WildAngel : hello all. took forever to login

 11:19 RobNelson : Great info on Animotobusiness Sherman!

 11:19 shermanlive : ScribeFire.com

 11:19 markress : Hey Rob U can do what Sherman just described with Windows Movie Maker too. Just do snap shots of your PPT slides and import them into your movie file. Then record the audio walkthru.

 11:19 WildAngel : That is great Rob I asked that exact ? of Twitter yesterday

 11:20 markress : If you have Vista then use the Snipping tool to do the screen captures.

 11:20 realsource : hello wildangel

 11:20 markress : The Vista Snipping tool captures still images

 11:20 WildAngel : hello

 11:20 WildAngel : Realsource 

 11:20 RobNelson : Cool Mark!

 11:21 markress : Your welcome. 

 11:21 WildAngel : My audio/video is stuttering

 11:21 markress : Stuttering like Ma Ma Ma Max Headroom?

 11:21 RobNelson : Vista seems to have lots of hidden tools

 11:21 markress :

 11:21 realsource : perhaps a NING type site for the memorial site

 11:21 WildAngel : Yes…the audio/video/chat all diff.

11:21 realsource : perhaps a NING type site for the memorial site

 11:21 WildAngel : Yes…the audio/video/chat all diff.

 11:22 markress : CamStudio IM will do the trick too. Camtasia 3 is free. Just Google Free Camtasia Studio 3.

 11:22 graphic_guy : my audio/video stuttering as well. Thought it was Firefox

 11:22 markress : Firefox okay here.

 11:22 eldonletkeman : My video is stuttering too

 11:23 WildAngel : www.pointecast.com/ someone mentioned this for ppt to vid. paid product

 11:23 WildAngel : I am glad I am not the only stutterer here

 11:23 RobNelson : I think they no longer give a key for camtasia studio 3 for free

 11:24 markress : OH NO It’s Sherman Timberlake!

 11:25 markress : Go Sherman Go Sherman Go Sherman

 11:25 eldonletkeman : Hey Sherman, does your music run through your mixer?  Or is the mic picking it up? 

 11:25 Ustream-Bot : »»» Dotcomboy17 is a Ustream Community Helper and is here to help!

 11:25 RobNelson : TIP My feed was stuttering at first then had to reload the page

 11:25 WildAngel : Sherman bringing sexy bay

 11:25 WildAngel : back

 11:25 WildAngel : Ok… I will reload cu

 11:25 markress : WORK IT OUT SHERMAN!

 11:25 IanStuart : gotcha thks

 11:26 ustreamer-40529 : I just want to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR

 11:26 eldonletkeman : I’m curious how the music volume goes down when you speak.

 11:26 markress : AmazonS3 all the way 4 important stuff like video sales letters and wha have you IMHO.

 11:26 TCTC : He adjusts it manually

 11:26 ColderICE : I just want to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR

 11:26 markress : Yup manually

 11:26 eldonletkeman : Thanks TCTC

 11:26 TCTC : np =)

 11:27 AlexKaris-1 : Sherman have you seen the new sony webbie

 11:27 ColderICE : That was me above, but I forgot to log in, LMAO

 11:27 eldonletkeman : would be cool, though, if it was an automatic volume adjustment

 11:27 AlexKaris-1 : Q : How are you handling file size problems when  recording in HD..i see a problem uploading to social platforms…any thoughts?

 11:28 TCTC : I think DJ software it could be possible. If anyone knows might be able to help out Sherman =P

 11:28 ethosmethod : AudioAcrobat is also good if you *sell* your audios or videos and need to keep them at a secure link where the public *can’t* access them. Though….it must be said….I just found a FireFox plugin that defeats the “play only” mode where I could download if I wanted to…!!

 11:28 AlexKaris-1 : What do you think about USB streaming when using the new webbie…will you get the quality as well?

 11:28 ethosmethod : agh! sorry for the bold print folks…

 11:28 WildAngel : reload no work.. now sher is echoing

 11:28 BiggiFraley : @ethosmethod Give it up! What’s that Firefox plugin? ;-P

 11:28 WildAngel : gummie bers

 11:28 WildAngel : bears

 11:29 RobNelson : Shermans products at www.tutorialu Rocks on blogging and video!

 11:29 ethosmethod : oh not on your Nelly! Find it yrself! 

 11:29 ethosmethod : just know that it’s out there….

 11:29 shermanlive : EEFX.com

 11:29 AlexKaris-1 : Q - WHAT IS THE BEST CAMERA FOR SHOOTING HD and streaming for the price…what do you think about Sanyo HD1010?

 11:29 ethosmethod : And AudioAcrobat folks - we’re gonna hafta come up w/something better…

 11:29 eldonletkeman : it’s muslin

 11:29 eldonletkeman : usually

 11:29 realsource : remnants

 11:30 WildAngel : audio acrobat is easy for tech. chall. like me

 11:30 markress : The FF download plugin I use for grabbing vids is Download Helper. I LOVE IT!

 11:30 eldonletkeman : i always find myself bopping

 11:31 ethosmethod : that’s probably it Mark…

 11:31 markress : It is

 11:31 IanStuart : yeah Mark Download Helper is great!

 11:31 ethosmethod : I have several so I’m not sure which one it is

 11:31 markress : They’re constantly updating it too

 11:31 ethosmethod : some work on some files, some don’t…

 11:31 markress : Mmmmm hmmmmmm

 11:32 markress : I’ve been able to get EVERYTHING I’ve ever attempted. When it does not work there is a way to grab the file. Now THAT I won’t share ;)  ha ha ha

 11:32 ethosmethod : so markress, how do marketers defeat things like Download Helper to keep people from stealing premium content? Any ideas? Sherman?

 11:33 SelfMadeCelo : TriCaster

 11:33 TCTC : Tricaster

 11:33 TCTC : Newtek.com

 11:33 AlexKaris-1 : tricaster

 11:33 TCTC : lol

 11:33 TCTC : pricey tho

 11:33 reslynn : another way to save some space hostiing for video …store it in archive.org… then upload to blip.tv  (Learned that good video quality from sherman of course

 11:33 eldonletkeman : I have a guy I can ask, and get back to the peeps later

 11:34 trilbyj : Just saying hello… I’m listening as I work!

 11:34 markress : Hey Sherman they’re mentioning Tricaster and it starts at $5K

 11:35 TCTC : yep

 11:35 RobNelson : sherman why do U not just record all feeds from several cameras and just edit together?

 11:35 markress : I would place my content in a member’s protected area like aMember

 11:35 reslynn : put watermark on your video, if its getting hack…

 11:35 markress : That may do the trick but a paying member can still download the files.

 11:36 markress : I always Watermark my sold products and try to Watermark the free stuff.

 11:36 WildAngel : how do put watermarks on vids

 11:36 BiggiFraley : Don’t spend too much time worrying about people stealing your content. Most people will be honest, and those are your customers that you want to focus on!

 11:37 markress : Most video editing apps have a titling function that you can use to watermark Sandra a.k.a. WildAngel

 11:37 TCTC : I’ve never used these but fairly cheaper then Tricaster www.dvcreators.net/video-mixers/

 11:37 markress : Windows Movie Maker has it.

 11:37 RobNelson : 5K toy for video to play with! lol

 11:38 TCTC : I love the tricaster when it works correctly =P

 11:38 reslynn : any site or tips on how u take videos at different angles simultaneously..?

 11:38 WildAngel : Ok I have put titles on already so that makes it safe

 11:38 WildAngel : thanks Mark

 11:38 markress : Np

 11:38 markress : Reslynn that is what Sherman and I were talking about this morning

 11:38 TCTC : use multiple cameras =)

Half Hour Huddle on ShermanHu.tv for 20081229

Today’s show is the last broadcast for 2008. Alot has happened since our first broadcast in April this year. Ustream.tv, with the help of our show supporters (thanks peeps!), has listed the “Half Hour Huddle” amongst the “Highest Rated” shows on Ustream, along with presenting our Huddle as the “Featured” show on their home page 3 weeks in a row on Mondays. Thanks Ustream.tv!!

This broadcast extended past our usual half hour time segment, but oh so fun and worthwhile! We bridged topics that ranged from tech to relational health! You’ll have to catch up on this episode to see what I mean, it may make a true difference in your life and relational health

I look forward to hosting more LIVE broadcast shows that deliver value to you, and to continue to earn your support as a trusted resource and advisor. Here’s to you and yours for 2009, wishing you a blessed, healthy, wealthy and prosperous New Year!!

11:25 JoselinMane : Sherm u like ithemes.com/ ?
11:25 ustreamer-22475 : nice new blog - i just made one with another one of the revolution themes. Am not having much luckj with adding different thumbnails for the home page. any ideas on how to do this? also want to add more blocks below the recent posts part. am stuck
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : how r u
11:26 cknicker : My green screen comment was for grins but now I’m intrigued, what stuff do you have to be able to do green screen? I thought it was a big production cost.
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : yes i think too
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : i like green color
11:26 mike1mb : Hi to Michelle Joselin Dulcita and any othre Tweetrs I might have missed, follow me and I follow back twitter.com/mike1mb
11:27 WildAngel : takes a bow…
11:27 ustreamer-46942 : dont worry go ahead
11:27 mike1mb : no its a real Cable channel
11:27 MyklK : cknicker - bought green sheet for $20, then you need software to do the “Chroma” effect. done.
11:27 Toranika : I thought G4 was a classical music boy band :-p
11:29 eldonletkeman-1 : cknicker: You need the proper software that will allow you to use green screen or Chroma Key.  I use Adobe Premeire Pro and after effects.  Sony Vegas can do it as well.  Adobe also has an easier program called Ultra that allows you to put in pre-designed backgrounds. It’s a finicky process.
11:29 mike1mb : Viddler’s comment feature is nice too adds them right to video in time with action
11:30 MyklK : I use Pinnacle Studio (bought my green sheet there as a package)
11:30 eldonletkeman-1 : Pinnacle is a great entry level program
11:30 MyklK : Great! That’s where I am!
11:30 eldonletkeman-1 : good choice
11:31 eldonletkeman-1 : sounds like Yoda doing an impression of Darth Vader
11:31 eldonletkeman-1 :
11:31 MyklK : heh.
11:31 colmcgunnigle : Yoda
11:31 BiggiFraley : Sherman, some of TweetDeck’s new features - spellcheck, when accidentally closing a group, it warns you it’ll be deleted and let’s you cancel action. I was sooo waiting for that one!
11:31 MyklK : “Help you, he will.”
11:31 colmcgunnigle : “there is no try”
11:32 colmcgunnigle : yes myk
11:32 colmcgunnigle : Yoda is cool
11:32 Chrissyna : I think he means if it is MAC friendly (Ashampoo) LOL
11:32 eldonletkeman-1 : Boba Fett rocks
11:32 SelfMadeCelo : No problem =)
11:33 MyklK : My computer FREEZES trying to record a UStream broadcast - is that normal?  What are the “PC” requirements?  Maybe I’m trying to be too High Definition??
11:34 WildAngel : Thanks for all the help-
11:34 WildAngel : I will have to go back and dedicate to shermanlive.
11:35 AlexKaris : Happy Holiday all you awesome PEEPS!!
11:36 brandrider : Hi Sherman.  Do you get into social marketing in your blog creation program at tutorialU?
11:37 shermanlive-1 : eefx
11:37 cknicker : Good grief! U all giving me so many good links I’ve had to filp to a second page in my notebook.
11:37 colmcgunnigle : ashampoo … for windows … sorry Sherman!
11:38 colmcgunnigle : flipping is good!
11:38 MyklK : Hmmm, I just thumbtacked my greenscreen to the wall!
11:38 mike1mb : cnicker - aren’t live shows the best ever resource
11:38 MyklK : Don’t stand close to the wall (3-5 feet) to avoid shadows.
11:38 colmcgunnigle : especially live shows with Sherman talking
11:39 BiggiFraley : so what’s the difference between a green screen and a blue screen?
11:39 WildAngel : I think Sheram will have to go to an hour- this is getting to be really popular
11:39 colmcgunnigle : Do you use a softbox for lights?
11:39 mike1mb : I’m kinda fond of his brother from another mother, but I won’t mention his name unless Sherman will
11:39 eldonletkeman-1 : Done some green screen work.  Lighting is key.  The compact flourescents are nice. Cool temperature as well. won’t burn your precious fingers
11:39 SelfMadeCelo : Eldon do you prefer Final Cut over Premiere?
11:40 TCTC : I use Adobe Ultra. . . but very touchy. Best Advice I can give is use as little as possible. Live sets are much better looking.
11:40 JoselinMane : AlexKaris!! Que Pasa Bro!
11:40 TCTC : Live sets as in real sets.
11:40 eldonletkeman-1 : Final Cut uses much more drive space. Like 30 gigs or something.  it’s apples and oranges.  i prefer Premiere because I know the software.
11:41 eldonletkeman-1 : But Final Cut is really snazzy software
11:41 AlexKaris : Hola Joseline…Hope your awesome!!
11:41 colmcgunnigle : Supporting you in decluttering your plate … so easy to get our plates cluttered, things just plop on there!
11:42 WildAngel : If you declutter your plate you will lose weight too
11:42 eldonletkeman-1 : Premiere does not support Power Mac G5 systems, only intel based Mac
11:42 colmcgunnigle : lol
11:46 mike1mb : eefx
11:46 cknicker : Laundry hamper for IKEA
11:46 eldonletkeman-1 : Green screen is excellent for Digital Video and Blue Screen is optimized for film.  They use separate colour profiles. DV uses RGB and Film use CMYK.  It’s all really technical but you can use for either.  You just need to use a coulour that won’t be used in your footage
11:47 mike1mb : Thanks Sherman, He’ll appreciate the mention
11:47 BiggiFraley : Great answer. Thanks, Eldon!
11:47 JoselinMane : thanks eldon, get info!
11:48 BiggiFraley : Thanks also for answers from MyklK!
11:48 colmcgunnigle : How cool, go away for your planning process, I love it. So great to do that together. You guys … giving me great hope for couples!
11:49 colmcgunnigle : Planning and writing down, yes, like a magnet
11:49 eldonletkeman-1 : but colours can bleed, so standing in front of your screen lights is key, then use separate lighting on the subject
11:49 MyklK : (no prob @BiggiFraley - Eldon’s got the know how - I just goof around with it)
11:49 WildAngel : That is a great 2009 planning process
11:50 MyklK : Yeah, adding the frustrations was a take away for me.
11:50 colmcgunnigle : I had macs for FIFTEEN YEARS before becoming a traitor um convert
11:51 BiggiFraley : You all have suggested several, but if I could absolutely have my pick at any video editing software FOR PC, which one would I choose?
11:51 Chrissyna : OMGosh another plate - lookout team!!!!
11:51 SelfMadeCelo : Just Clear, not too fancy lol
11:51 colmcgunnigle : Sherman, PUT the PLATE DOWN
11:51 colmcgunnigle :
11:52 AlexKaris : Dome is another word for your head…cmon brother….ol
11:52 colmcgunnigle : LOL
11:52 colmcgunnigle : Laundry Hamper from Ikea GREAT
11:52 eldonletkeman-1 : BiggiFraley: I would suggest Pinnacle for the entry level, but if you’re interested in the more powerful software go with Adobe, Pricey though
11:53 MyklK : Yeah, Pinnacle is like $120.
11:53 MyklK : (green screen included in the package I got)
11:53 mike1mb : IKEA has some great lamps that probably provide similar lighting and some for about $10 ea
11:54 BiggiFraley : Would Adobe be easy enough to learn, though, or should I choose Pinnacle even if I could effort Adobe because it is better fot the beginner, Eldon?
11:54 SelfMadeCelo : Adobe is pretty easy to learn, just takes some getting use to.
11:54 cknicker : S, I’ve moved from the Dark Side, got a MBPro 2.4, 4GB, 512 VidRAM.  To justify spending the $$ I  showed my girlfriend the recorded session when you told me to go ahead and make the plunge.
11:54 SelfMadeCelo : I’m sure if you spent the time you can get down the basics to make a simple video
11:54 eldonletkeman-1 : Yeah, I’m toally self taught, try and surround yourself with peopl ewho know how as well.  Networking is key
11:54 bkajino : Ditto on the planning… dreams are only wishes if you don’t have an action plan
11:55 colmcgunnigle : Thanks so much Eldon
11:55 eldonletkeman-1 : No prob
11:55 MyklK : Wow - didn’t know about separate lights for subject and background!  I have a TON of lights already!  Still learning.
11:56 cknicker : Harvard Business School has tracked their graduates for 40+ years.  They have found tha clearly written goals are the second most important for success in business and in life.
11:56 MyklK : (I’ll have to do video with my sunglasses on!)
11:56 TCTC : Well gotta jam. . .Thanks for the great tips as always!
11:56 WildAngel : ballroom dancing is fun
11:56 colmcgunnigle : tennis AND ballroom dancing!

11:59 colmcgunnigle : first I need a husband LOL !

11:59 MyklK : Tell me about it.  It must start falling apart with the 4th kid (I have 4 too)
11:59 WildAngel : So do I.
11:59 Chrissyna : You can them For Men Only and For Women Only in audio too

Repost: Review Current Year, Forecast & Plan for Next Year

Last December, I published a 10 minute video about moving forward with intentionality, planning and focus - not just in business, but in all life areas. The video was very well received by many business owners and I’d like to re-share it with you.

In this 10 minute video, I reveal and walk you through a document for my own planning. You can use it as a sample for your own planning worksheet.

Wishing you the very best for 2009. May it bring you and your family many blessings and prosperity.

When you record a video on your Flixwagon iPhone app, it’ll post to your channel on 12Seconds.tv. Firstly, you’ll have to add your Flixwagon details to your 12Seconds.tv account.

Note that at this time, you’ll need to have a jailbroken iPhone to install Flixwagon via the Cydia Installer.

Here’s a quick 12 second video I recorded on my jailbroken iPhone that linked to my 12Seconds.tv channel.
