The Amazing Creed - MUST SEE!

My husband is always posting cool stuff at the bulletin board at MySpace. Usually I get so many bulletins that his get buried and I never see them. Today, he mentioned one that he posted earlier today. (I had to dig through three pages of useless bulletins to find it). I laughed all the way through this one. It's the most hilarious Creed video I've ever seen. Watch it...watch it NOW, I say!

MUST SEE VIDEO: Neuroanatomist Describes Stroke Experience

This is an awesome video, and I think everyone should watch it. It just might change the way you view the subject of death. The way she describes her experience is just beautiful.

Excerpt:

"Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another."

How to Make Money with Training Videos

Most everyone has some area of expertise in a particular field that would be beneficial for others to learn. Whether you’re an employee, entrepreneur, or entertainer, there’s good money to be made in training others how to have the same successes you have. Simply demonstrating on video the same steps to success you’ve taken, you can make thousands of extra dollars by portraying your expertise.

1. Determine your area of expertise. What have you been good at for all your life? What are your hobbies, pastimes, or job skills that you have been perfecting?

Maybe you’ve been successful at parenting, making crafts, throwing parties, inventing, or how to enjoy a night out on the town. Even if it’s something as simple as winning at board games, chances are there are people out there that would want to learn from you. Maybe you’ve been an administrative assistant for years and have been commended on how invaluable you are to the company.

Then you have a basis of training others how to be top notch administrative assistant, considering how much job turnover some industries can have. Companies love training with videos, because it saves valuable time from managers and communicates everything important in the same way each time.

2. Plan your approach. Once you’ve determined your market for training others, you need to put together an outline for the content. This is where you’ll want to spend most of your time, as content is always king.

Start with bullet points, going from general to specific. Sketch out the scenes that you will be taping to illustrate the message.

Be sure to discuss what doesn’t work as well as what does, by sharing the mistakes you’ve made along the way. Give them resources and tips to get started and how to persevere.

3. Shoot the video. First you’ll want to choose a professional production company to produce your video if you are not equipped or experienced. Do not use your home camcorder thinking that you can make a professional video suitable for selling at a premium price.

For advice on how to choose a video production company, do a web search for “how to choose a video production company” or search by this author’s name. Once you’ve chosen a production company that fits your budget, be sure to create scenes that actually demonstrate your points and how they can duplicate it. No one really wants to buy a video of a talking head, so keep it interesting.

For advice on creating effective video content, be sure to do a web search on this topic for this same author. Decide if you are suitable for being the on camera talent and speaker. Again you must portray yourself as an expert, or at least, an expert author of the content.

If you’re not good at communicating on camera or unable to speak naturally and fluently, you may need to hire an actor to work off a teleprompter. The production company will help you make that decision.

4. Market the video. Once the video is shot and duplicated and ready to be sold, determine the venues of distribution to promote your video to your target audience. Having your own search engine-friendly website is a must, with accurate keywords that your audience will be searching for.

Amazon.com and other video dealers will gladly stock or drop ship your video for a cut of your selling price, and is well worth it. Trade shows, college campuses, swap meets, magazine classifieds, local newspaper classifieds…anywhere your audience’s eyes would be looking is where you need to be promoting your video.

With perseverance and determination, you can make a one time video investment make you a lot of extra money and maybe even quit the job that you were training people how to do!

Paul Lyke is the managing director at MidSouth Visual, Inc., a Nashville video production company.

Watch Movies Online - FREE!

I know this is probably naughty, but I'm going to tell you about a place where you can go to find and watch the latest movies online - even new theatrical releases, like Resident Evil: Extinction, or ones that just came out on DVD, like I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, (which is absolutely hilarious, by the way). And you don't have to pay a nickel to watch them!

The place to go is MovieForumz.com. The way it works is members of the forum post links to sites like Stage6.com or Veoh.com, where they, (or someone else), have uploaded the movies. The links will move around, but MovieForumz keeps them very well updated.

Some other good points about MovieForumz are that you don't have to register in order to read the forums, and it's very well organized into categories including documentaries, stand-up comedy and independent films, so get on over there and check 'em out!

(NOTE: You will need a broadband internet connection to stream the movies.)

TV Links - Better than a remote control!

I am a regular at this site and they keep it very well updated.

I don' t have a TV in my room...geez, I don' t even have a room right now! I am living on a stair landing! But...I digress.

Every night, when I'm done with all my online activities (or even while I'm doing them), I watch my favorite TV Shows, such as House, M.D., Star Trek: The Next Generation, X-files and Malcolm in the Middle. I'm so thankful there are places out there like this, or I might have to get up and go watch TV in the living room...EGAD!

I highly recommend TV Links to anyone who cares to watch TV on their PC.

P.S. If you find a dead link, please report it to them, so they can update it.

UPDATE 12/05/07 - Unfortunately, TV Links is no more. I'm not sure why, but I don't think they'll be coming back. I'll be on the lookout for other places and will update here when I find them. Sorry...

How to Find New Vinyl LPs

Vinyl records deliver as-yet unmatched joy and realism for playback of recorded music, but CDs seem to have taken over completely. Where can you find new records?

Instructions

• STEP 1: Call the used record stores in your area to find out whether they also carry new records.
• STEP 2: Check chain CD stores, which periodically stock records and can usually order them.
• STEP 3: Check Internet CD stores, as some also stock LPs. You might have to ask.
• STEP 4: Check the Acoustic Sounds, ARS Nova, AudioMax, Elusive Disc, Hello HiFi, Music Direct, Needle Doctor, Savant Audio & Video, Turnipseed Music LP, and Vinyl Valet Web sites for audiophile LPs, imports and new releases from major labels. Get free mail-order catalogs from many of these businesses.
• STEP 5: Check the Quality Vinyl Web site for hard-to-find items and new releases.
• STEP 6: Check the Harvard Square Records site for brand-new copies (usually "cut-outs") of thousands of old LPs.
• STEP 7: Visit member sites of the Record Collector's Webring, but expect to find mostly used records.
• STEP 8: E-mail or call independent record labels to find out whether they still stock specific out-of-print LPs.
• STEP 9: Read reviews in audio and music magazines and note format information.
• STEP 10: Check the Schwann catalog for information about new classical releases.

Tips & Warnings

• Major labels often do not announce LP releases of specific titles, even though the albums are available. Ask your local music store to check.
• Independent labels, such as Rounder and Sugar Hill, have substantial back stock of LPs released in the 1980s. They are rarely advertised, but the prices are excellent.
