It’s about creating your own 0nline Marketing “TV” Station…
no matter what type of product or service you sell online!

I’ve also got an extremely cool example you can watch of
one of the two types of content you can “broadcast” from
your online TV station.

A friend of mine is actually using little “TV’s” on his
website to give you a sample of what’s in his product…
this is BRILLIANT marketing!

… and it’s only just scratching the surface of what’s
possible for all of us.

To your “broadcast” success

Create Your Own Online Marketing “TV” Station

It will happen! TV and the Internet will eventually merge into one giant multi-media “melting pot” that includes everything from live footage and old reruns to garage videos posted by your next door neighbor’s kid. Just like cable TV fractured network TV, the Internet will enable everyone with a voice, a video camera, and something to say to fracture cable TV even more. But the real TV revolution on the Internet will only happen when marketers stop trying to copy TV, with its commercials and outdated modes of revenue generation, and start copying the “pay-per-view” and “infomercial” models.

One company at TVexe.com has started offering television broadcasts from around the world via Internet streaming. The free software (with optional one-time $25 upgrade) allows you to stream TV feeds from around the world to your desktop through a broadband connection. The picture rates a “C+” on the quality side, but, just like Internet telephony 6 years ago, you can expect the quality to improve quickly. If they can keep costs down long enough to figure out how to make money, this company will likely succeed because they provide programming that’s virtually impossible to get anywhere else.

But, for the rest of us “mortals” who want to stream our images, video, and audio across the Web, trying to provide “live TV” broadcasts spells the kiss of death in both time and money. For the vast majority of companies doing business online, it will prove virtually impossible to get a meaningful number of people to show up to a website at “8:00 P.M. Eastern” for tonight’s live “TV” broadcast. But what will work online is adopting the “pay-per-view” model found in hotels where you watch the program you want, when you want. Offering website visitors video content they can download, start, stop, play, pause, and view on their own schedule holds the key to online “TV” success. I hate to make this overly simplistic, but bottom line: an effective online “TV Station” only needs a basic website and the ability to allow “viewers” to download or stream video files.

All of us get two basic options when it comes to creating content to deliver from our “TV Station” website. First, you can do “screen capture” video, which combines video of the action taking place on your computer screen with your voice as narration, to create excellent instructional content. You then allow viewers to download this “TV program” from your website either free or for a fee. Two programs enable you to do this quickly and easily: “Screen Cam Generator” from http://www.ScreenCamSoftware.com and “Camtasia” from http://www.TechSmith.com.

Your second option involves using full-motion video, either from a web-cam or a camcorder. The content most easily gets published online either as a WMV file (Windows Media Video) played with Microsoft’s Media Player, or FLV file (Flash Video) played with the free Flash “plug-in” found in most Web browsers.

Regardless of which option you choose, remember: unlike traditional TV, successful models of “TV-style” content online will empower the viewer to watch when and where they choose.

How To Move To A New PC

– by Jim Edwards

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Nothing strikes fear into the heart of someone who uses a
computer to make a full time living more than the thought of
trying to move all your files to a new PC.

In fact, many people use phrases such as “my life is on that
thing” to describe the amount of critical and irreplaceable
data their old PC contains.

Some people even put off acquiring a new PC for years,
rather than go through the pain and perceived “risk” of
moving to a new PC.

However, the following information and tips should help you
make a move from one PC to another with the least amount of
hassle and in the least amount of time.

First, you must understand the difference between “program”
files and “data” files.

Program files are the software you install on your PC to do
word processing, play games, edit pictures, etc.

Program files include software packages such as Microsoft
Office, PhotoShop, and Space Invaders. Data files, on the
other hand, are the files you create using those software
programs.

This includes files such as Word documents, digital photos,
and MP3 audio.

A number of programs exist to help you move all your data
and program files to your new PC by connecting a USB or
“firewire” cable from the old PC to the new PC.

They promise to make it “easy” by not forcing you to
reinstall everything.

My experience with these types of programs (I’ve tried 4
different brands) has been mediocre at best and truly
disastrous on two separate occasions.

Bottom line: these types of programs not only transfer the
old software, they also bring along any problems from the
old PC and often corrupt the registry of the new PC.

To save a huge potential headache when moving to a new PC,
the easiest thing to do is simply to move all the data files
and then reinstall the software.

Burn all your data files to CD-ROM or copy them to a
portable hard drive (a faster option) and simply copy them
over to the new computer.

Then sit down with your favorite beverage (careful to keep
liquid away from the PC) and your stack of program
installation CD’s and start installing your software on the
new PC.

It might take a little longer, but you’ll prevent plenty of
problems doing it this way.

More tips for moving to a new PC:

- If you use a portable hard drive to move files between
computers, burn the data to CD when you finish and put the
CD into a safe deposit box for emergency restoration.

- Keep all your data files in the “My Documents” folder to
make future moves easier (just copy the “My Documents”
folder and you’re done).

- Keep all downloadable software you buy online in a folder
called “Installation Files” so you can just copy that to
the new PC and install all your software.

- Keep all passwords and software keys in one folder in your
email program so you can easily unlock any software you
install on the new PC.

- To move messages, folders, and preferences in Outlook
Express from one computer to another, I found “Outlook
Express Backup Genie” from www.amicutilities.com an
excellent solution.

How To Make Your Stiffest Competitor
Your Best Joint Venture Partner

– by Jim Edwards

The Net Reporter Ezine
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

When someone threatens us, we instinctively look for ways to
either avoid, evade or protect ourselves from the perceived
threat.

In business, where money, security, and even our family’s
future rides on our every move, anyone or anything we
perceive as a “threat” usually causes us to go into
“protection” mode.

Once in “protection” mode, we close off to all possibilities
except avoiding or defeating the threat.

On the flipside, anything or anyone we see as able to help
us build our business, expand our reach, or improve our
profitability, makes us instinctively think of ways we can
use that to our advantage.

Once you understand this simple fact, it’s easy to see how
YOU can to turn your biggest competitors into your best
Joint Venture (JV) partners.

“Competitor” is nothing more than a label someone else
places on you because they see you as wanting to get the
same thing they want (from a limited supply).

In other words, if 100 customers exist, and your
“competitor” perceives you as basically selling the same
thing they do, then the race is on to see who can get the
biggest share of those 100 customers.

This behavior stems from a “scarcity” mentality of “The pie
is only so big and I need the biggest piece possible!”

My advice: STOP trying to divide up the same pie.

Bake a NEW PIE and get your competitors to *SELL* IT FOR
YOU!

Any competitor you see in the marketplace can actually turn
into your best Joint Venture ally and strongest sales person
if you know what to do.

Your job is simply to find out how you can complement what
they do rather than compete head-to-head with them.

For example: I sell an ebook (2 actually) on how to sell
thousands of ebooks on the Internet.

The material comes directly from my experience of actually
*doing* it – rather than regurgitating what others have
done.

Since I already have two ebooks on “ebooks” I have no
interest in promoting someone else’s ebook on the same
subject.

In fact, I get rather snitty when they ask because it shows
their complete ignorance of this principal.

On the other hand, what if they baked a “new pie?”

What if they created a piece of software that made
converting Word docs to PDF a snap and cost a fraction of
the price for Adobe Acrobat?

What if they baked a pie that made it simple for ebook
authors to automatically post their ebook for sale on all
the different online bookstores out there?

What if they created an easy-to-use system to help ebook
authors get their ebooks listed on Amazon and gave me a cut
of the action when I sent them new customers?

What if they created a system that made it easy for ebook
authors to offer a copy of their ebook on CD or in hard copy
form without expensive set up fees?

NOW WE’RE TALKING about things that, in my mind, would
immediately take them out of the “competitor” category and
place them in the “I’d like to know more about you”
category.

So if you want to bake a new pie (get your competitors to
view you as a friend and seek you out as a JV partner),
follow this three step formula.

First, step back from the marketplace and see what the vast
majority of people in your marketplace are selling,
promoting, or offering (they’re all doing virtually the same
things).

Second, think about how you can help them AND their
customers get MORE of what they want faster by complementing
what they already do and not competing with them.

Third, wrap your product or service in a way that your new
ally can not only make more money or more sales of both your
product and theirs, but also make their customers even
happier as a result.

Three Cool Things You Can Do Online

– by Jim Edwards

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

** Publish Your “Real” Book On LuLu.com **

“Print-on-demand” publishing makes it simple to get your
book into print without a traditional publisher.

“Print-on-demand” does just that: no copies of the book get
printed until after there’s an order.

This style of self publishing really hit its stride in the
last few years as a result of improvements in computerized
printing technology and the emergence of Amazon and other
online book sellers as legitimate distribution channels.

However, expensive setup fees and high printing costs per
book still kept print-on-demand outside the reach of many
smaller or first-time authors.

Lulu.com changes all that. Now you can publish your book as
easily as uploading a Word document, using a “wizard” to
design your cover, click a few buttons, and you’re
published.

LuLu.com will also list your book via Amazon.com and Barnes
and Noble’s website.

They don’t charge a setup fee and only charge 20% of the
book’s cover price as a royalty (on top of a per book
printing cost that rates as low or lower than most print-on-
demand publishers).

If you want to order a crate of books for yourself to hand
out as business cards or as Christmas gifts, you can get a
special cut rate where you only pay for printing and binding
costs.

Overall, Lulu.com rates a “must look” if you want to publish
a “real” book without the hassles and disappointment of
traditional publishing or the usual up front fees of print-
on-demand publishing.

** Get Free Tech Support **

Log on to HelpOnThe.net to find a wealth of free technical
support staffed by volunteer geeks and nerds who know the
“real” story behind those error messages.

Search their extensive collection of discussion threads to
find the answer to your question someone else probably
already asked.

Or, post your question in one of the forums and wait for an
answer.

As always, beware of free advice and take precautions to
back up files before making any changes to your system.

But, before you spend 2 or 3 hours on hold waiting for tech
support (did you know some companies started charging for
phone support?) see if you can find the answer to your
problem from The Tech Support Guy at HelpOnThe.net

** Create Your Own “Podcast” – Fast **

“Podcasting,” or audio “blogging,” enables content creators
to share their thoughts, rants and raves via MP3 audio over
the web.

A variation of traditional text-only “blogging,” podcasting
takes its name from the Apple Ipod MP3 player used to
automatically download and play MP3 audio files.

Despite many advancements in MP3 encoding technology, it’s
been difficult for many people to record their podcast and
get it on the Internet in a way others can automatically
download.

Log on to AudioBlog.com and your problems are solved. This
nifty online service enables users to record MP3 audio right
through your web browser or even over the telephone and then
publish the RSS feed (Real Simple Syndication) necessary to
create a podcast.

Basic accounts start at $4.95 a month.
