Jim Edwards here with an article you’ll love

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the real TV revolution on the Internet will only happen when marketers stop trying to copy TV, with its commercials and outdated modes of revenue generation, and start copying the “pay-per-view” and “infomercial” models.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

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.
