<p><img src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ReQall-Logo.jpg" alt="" title="ReQall" width="112" height="80" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1133" />I forget things. A lot.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s sad, but true&#8230; just ask my wife: my short term memory holds about as much as information as an old school floppy disk (note to the kids out there: that&#8217;s not a lot).</p>
<p>There are certain times when my memory really shines, and I&#8217;ll pull out some obscure detail of an event months or even years ago that impresses not only my wife, but blows me away as well. Unfortunately, I have yet to unlock the pattern that triggers these sudden feats of recollective strength.</p>
<p>Until I crack the code, I&#8217;ve come to rely pretty heavily on ReQall, a service that has quickly become indispensable.</p>
<p>ReQall does what it&#8217;s endearingly misspelled name suggests: it helps you recall virtually anything you might be in danger of forgetting. The reason this service is so powerful is that it employs speech-to-text technology that lets you record a reminder using one of ReQall&#8217;s mobile applications for iPhone, Blackberry or Android phone. The reminder is then translated to text and added to your list based on various parameters.</p>
<p>More on that later.</p>
<h2>Organizing Items With ReQall</h2>
<p>ReQall has a simple, yet ingenious organization structure that classifies items into different groups such as To-Do&#8217;s, Notes, Shopping items and any custom categories you might want to create.</p>
<p>You can then view your tasks based on these criteria, in addition to time based lists, such as Today, Soon, Later, and Overdue.</p>
<p>This works really well, because it allows you to view items based on your current needs. Need your To-List for today? Just pull up the &#8220;Today&#8221; screen. Stopping at the store? Just hit the &#8220;Shopping&#8221; tab.</p>
<p>Another excellent feature enjoyed by Pro customers (an incredibly useful service for a mere $2.99 a month) is the addition of &#8220;Locations.&#8221;</p>
<p>When you first open a ReQall account, you get a brief trial period where you have access to this (and other) premium features. At first, you have two default locations: &#8220;Home&#8221; and &#8220;Work.&#8221;</p>
<p>Adding an item, either by text or voice (yes, it works with both) that ends with &#8220;at home,&#8221; or &#8220;at work,&#8221; will automatically assign the event to that location &#8211; and you can create whatever locations you want.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example: I pick up my phone, hit record and say &#8220;Water the plants at home.&#8221;</p>
<p>ReQall uploads that audio file to their server, translates it to text and saves it as &#8220;Water the plants.&#8221; The note is tagged under the &#8220;Home&#8221; location so it will show up on that list if I need it.</p>
<p>ReQall also understands dates, times and scheduling &#8211; meaning I can easily remind myself to do something in the future such as &#8220;Call Mom tomorrow at 5PM&#8221; (will save itself as &#8220;Call Mom&#8221; with tomorrow&#8217;s date at 5 o&#8217;clock &#8211; so it won&#8217;t show up on today&#8217;s to-do list).</p>
<p>Recurring tasks are also easy. Simply type or say &#8220;Balance business checking account every Monday,&#8221; and the event will be created on a recurring basis.</p>
<p>Adding in a number of locations for different stores you frequent allows for automatically organized shopping lists &#8211; such as adding &#8220;Buy printer paper at Staples&#8221; or &#8220;Buy milk at Whole Foods.&#8221; The &#8220;Shopping&#8221; tab will display all of these items together, while the specific locations will break out the individual lists for you.</p>
<p>Add in GPS functionality that will give you an optional audio and pop up alert when you come into range of a saved location, and you&#8217;re set to remember pretty much anything.</p>
<h2>Here And Now</h2>
<p>The biggest area of improvement at the moment would have to be ReQall&#8217;s &#8220;Here and Now&#8221; feature. The name implies that it would produce a list of current items for your current location &#8211; unfortunately that&#8217;s not quite how it works.</p>
<p>According to ReQall support, the feature actually works more as a &#8220;Here OR Now&#8221; list &#8211; meaning it shows everything that can be done at the current time OR at the current location &#8211; meaning you&#8217;ll sometimes have something on the list that isn&#8217;t due for a couple of weeks, but it&#8217;s there because you&#8217;re at that location.</p>
<p>Fine tuning that feature into a genuine &#8220;Here AND Now&#8221; layout that showed today&#8217;s tasks for wherever you are would make this service an absolute powerhouse.</p>
<p>Fortunately, ReQall has a fairly responsive support staff (they use GetResponse for online support correspondence) and they&#8217;ve had a number of requests to update this feature. Fingers crossed!</p>
<p>In short, ReQall is extremely useful for organizing both personal and business reminders. It makes adding items to your current and future to-do and shopping lists extremely simple to do on the fly &#8211; and the web interface makes composing a complete list all at once extremely easy as well.</p>

<p>You need to have somewhere online, some website or blog, where people can find and get to know you.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not everyone knows where to begin setting something like this up, so I wanted to take a minute to share my results with Bluehost, the company my wife and I use to run the various blogs associated with our online business.</p>
<h2>Bluehost Products and Services</h2>
<h3>Hosting and Registration</h3>
<p>Bluehost offers an immense number of different services &#8211; more, in fact, than I could ever go over in detail in a single article, but the main ones are definitely worth covering.</p>
<p>Bluehost excels when it comes to domain registration and hosting accounts. Bluehost can host domains that are registered with them, or domain names that have been purchased from a competitor.</p>
<p>Bluehost&#8217;s hosting accounts have always been, in my experience, extremely reliable.</p>
<p>One of the biggest benefits of using Bluehost for your web hosting is the fact that Bluehost hosting accounts are not only affordable, but come with unlimited storage space and bandwidth &#8211; something other leading competitors put a cap on, or charge extra for.</p>
<p>Bluehost also offers the benefit of a free domain name with it&#8217;s hosting plans &#8211; the annual registration fee for your account&#8217;s primary domain name is waived &#8211; so if you&#8217;re only running a single site, all you have to pay for is hosting.</p>
<h3>Email</h3>
<p>Bluehost provides it&#8217;s hosting clients with unlimited email addresses, so no matter how large or diverse your business is, you&#8217;ll be able to set up as many email accounts as you like.</p>
<p>Bluehost provides a number of different web-based email applications that can be used to send and receive messages, but they also provide POP3 and IMAP support, allowing you to synchronize your email with whatever email application (such as Outlook, or Thunderbird) or mobile device you like. For the less tech-savvy, there are easy to follow tutorial videos on how to set this up.</p>
<h3>Application Scripts</h3>
<p>For those who want to run an application like WordPress to organize their site, Bluehost is ideal. They provide installation scripts that make setting up platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and dozens of others as simple as a few clicks.</p>
<p>Bluehost&#8217;s installation scripts make it possible for anyone, to easily set up a blog, ecommerce site, help desk, photo gallery or social network without having to learn how to install the software.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>Another area where Bluehost really shines is their technical support. With a 24/7 call center, you can always get the help you need. In addition, there is an online knowledge base, containing articles and instructions to help users through common problems, as well as an incredibly convenient online chat that is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.</p>
<p>Having logged into the support chat a handful of times, I have yet to encounter a technical support member who hasn&#8217;t been knowledgeable and prompt in solving the issues I have run into, even when if I&#8217;m looking for help in getting something within a platform like WordPress working.</p>
<p>Bluehost&#8217;s technical support is knowledgeable and competent to help not only with their own products, but also with the different applications they provide installation scripts for &#8211; making it extremely easy to get the help you need, regardless of the type of site you are running.</p>
<p>All in all, I have personally had a great experience with Bluehost, and recommend them to anyone who asks me about a hosting provider &#8211; especially if I know that person is interested in running a WordPress site.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>That&#8217;s the million dollar question.</strong></span></p>
<p>Well, our friend and mentor, Mike Dillard, would like to help out our industry with a solution to this problem. He has created something revolutionary that has never been done before.</p>
<p>He has put together a very special and unique product with the input of some of the top internet marketers such as Brian Fanale, Daegan Smith, Mike Klingler, Ann Sieg, Todd Falcone and so many more.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s called <a title="DiscoverWWN.com" href="http://discoverwwn.com" target="_blank">What&#8217;s Working Now</a>.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>And that&#8217;s exactly what it is. Let me explain.</strong></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a monthly newsletter delivered to your inbox jam packed full of what&#8217;s working now for the top internet, 7-figure and above earners. Now, this isn&#8217;t just theory either, but rather <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>real practical steps you can take to implement these marketing strategies into your own business to get you more traffic and more leads</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Now, Chad and I are huge advocates of self-education and we are strong believers in investing in yourself by purchasing courses and education products to improve and develop your marketing skills. We still think that is an essential piece to our success as well as yours.</p>
<p>However, this is not an education product about Copywriting, PPC,  SEO or Blogging or any one particular topic. It&#8217;s a real-time depiction of what is working to get traffic and grow the businesses of some of the top earners in our industry. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Each month, a featured top earner will show you exactly what they are doing in their business to get massive traffic.</strong></span></p>
<p>You see, it&#8217;s not a one time product purchase on one particular subject (which do have their place, by the way), but rather an ongoing education and behind the scenes look into what&#8217;s working right now for the elite marketers.</p>
<p>This is a massive opportunity for our industry to be able to have access to this type of information and ongoing training. So, if you are not having the type of success you wish you could have and if you are struggling at all with your business, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>this might just be the answer you have been looking for.</strong></span></p>
<p>We encourage you to discover what&#8217;s working now and take your business to the next level. Head on over to <strong><a href="http://discoverwwn.com" target="_blank">DiscoverWWN.com</a></strong> and take advantage of the value being offered to you.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>I bet you&#8217;ll be glad you did <img src='http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></span></p>

Think about how much time you spend writing content, posting ads, commenting on forum topics, and other forms of driving traffic. If you aren't tracking your site's traffic to see which methods are working and which aren't, how will you ever know what you're doing right and what needs improving?

<h2><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-488" title="spreadsheet" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/spreadsheet.png" alt="spreadsheet" width="128" height="128" />Testing and tracking are vital components of successful internet marketing.</h2>
<p>Think about how much time you spend writing content, posting ads, commenting on forum topics, and other forms of driving traffic. If you aren&#8217;t tracking your site&#8217;s traffic to see which methods are working and which aren&#8217;t, how will you ever know what you&#8217;re doing right and what needs improving?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>How will you know which ads are making you money, and which ads are costing you money?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The simple answer is: You won&#8217;t.</strong></span></p>
<p>You <strong>NEED</strong> to be tracking the visitors who come to your site. How did they get there? If they found you through a search engine, what keyword were they searching? What page did they land on? How long did they stay on your site? How many other pages did they look at?</p>
<p><strong>These are all vital questions that need to be answered if you want an accurate picture of how effective your marketing is</strong>.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there is an easy and free way to gather all of this data, called <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/" target="_blank">Google Analytics</a>. Analytics is an online tracking system that logs all of the traffic on your site, which you can then organize into reports and analyze, allowing you to improve your marketing and your results.</p>
<h2>What are some of the different traffic aspects tracked by Analytics?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Number of visits</li>
<li>Number of page views</li>
<li>Bounce Rate</li>
<li>Average Time on Site</li>
<li>Referring Websites</li>
<li>Referring Keywords (both paid and organic)</li>
<li>Goal Conversion</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>&#8230;just to name a few.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>By gathering all of this data, you can effectively figure out what is working on your site, and what isn&#8217;t.</strong></span></p>
<p>For example, what if a large number of visitors were landing on a specific page of your site after searching for a certain keyword, but none of them stayed long enough to read anything? That&#8217;s useful information. It tells you that your page is relevant enough in the eyes of the search engine, but not in the eyes of the visitor &#8211; so maybe testing a different headline will get them to stay.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s just one example, but here&#8217;s another, for those of you using Google Adwords. With Analytics, you can track all search traffic, or you can look at organic and paid traffic separately. What if you found a keyword that was bringing organic traffic to a specific page on your site, and getting a good response? Wouldn&#8217;t you want to start bidding on that keyword for that landing page in your Adwords campaigns? What if one of your Adgroups was failing miserably, but the keywords for that group were doing really well on a different page of your site for organic searches?</p>
<p>The amount of power that you gain by monitoring your site&#8217;s traffic is indescribable. Without a tool like <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/" target="_blank">Analytics</a>, you&#8217;re left completely in the dark&#8230; posting ads and content and hoping for the best.

<img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-3247971-10672261" border="0" alt="Try SugarSync Free!" width="88" height="31" /></a><br />
We&#8217;ve reached a point where a lot of us live and work with multiple computers, and often times need to be able access the same files from all of those computers. This leads to endless piles of cd&#8217;s, pockets full of flash-drives and an ever growing list of email attachments we send ourselves to get a document from one location to another.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>If only there was an easy way to synchronize files between multiple computers automatically&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Enter <a href="http://sugarsync.onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com" target="_blank">SugarSync</a>.</strong></p>
<p>SugarSync is an easy to use application that allows file backup and synchronization between devices &#8211; even if those devices aren&#8217;t on the same network &#8211; making it much easier than it used to be to access and update your files.</p>
<h2>SugarSync Review</h2>
<p>Setup is really simple. Create an online account, download the SugarSync application to each computer you want to backup and/or synchronize and then select the folders you want.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it. Depending on your needs, you can set each individual folder to either simply backup online, or synchronize with other computers.</p>
<p>All the files and folders you select in SugarSync are backed up to your encrypted online account,<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> making them easily accessible from anywhere you can get an internet connection&#8230; even if you don&#8217;t have your own computer handy!</strong></span> The web interface also allows for easy file sharing and collaboration.</p>
<p>As a user, you can invite friends/family/colleagues to sign up for a free account, and then share one of your folders with them. If it&#8217;s something you just want them to be able to see (like family photos) it can be &#8220;read-only,&#8221; or if it&#8217;s a group project it can be &#8220;editable.&#8221; This way, when one person updates the project, everyone&#8217;s computer has the new work saved. Previous versions of all files are also saved, so you can track who updated what.</p>
<p>Editing a Word document on one laptop (or other device, like a BlackBerry) posts the changes directly to the online account, and then back down to the other computers almost instantly, so all machines have the most recent version of the file at all times.</p>
<p>Lets run through a quick overview of the online interface, the desktop client and (my personal favorite) the BlackBerry application.</p>
<h2>SugarSync.com and The Desktop Client</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div id="attachment_364" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-364 " title="SugarSync Online Interface" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSyncOnlineScreenShot.jpg" alt="SugarSync Review - Online Interface" width="550" height="332" /><p class="wp-caption-text">SugarSync Web Interface</p></div>
<p>When you log into SugarSync.com you are greeted by a screen that lists your recent activity (across all synchronized computers), a list of computers and other important items, your available storage space and a few other goodies.</p>
<p>By selecting one of your synchronized computers, you have access to all of the files you have set up with SugarSync on that computer. When viewing the files on a particular computer, you can open one by clicking on it, or you can move, delete or copy.</p>
<p>You also have an option to send files. This will send an email to any address(es) you specify with a unique link to the file(s) you selected to share. This link will allow the recipient of the email to download your file, but only for 21 days &#8211; after that the link is disabled.</p>
<p>This way, if you want to email a couple dozen photos to your great aunt across the country, you don&#8217;t need to waste time attaching them all.</p>
<p>In addition to your synced computers, you also have the option to select your &#8220;Magic Briefcase,&#8221; your Mobile Photos and your Web Archive.</p>
<p>The Magic Briefcase is basically a folder that SugarSync creates on all of your computers that is always kept synchronized. It&#8217;s a nice, simple tool for users who don&#8217;t want to take the time to manually select folders to sync&#8230; all they need to do is drop them into the Briefcase and they are good to go. <em> </em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Note: Placing files in the Briefcase does NOT copy them, it MOVES them completely.</em></strong></span></p>
<p>The Mobile Photos is pretty self explanatory&#8230; these are the pictures that you have taken from your mobile phone, which we&#8217;ll discuss a little more later on in our SugarSync review.</p>
<p>The Web Archive is a place to store files that you do not want synchronized with your computer. It&#8217;s basically just a storage vault, so you can copy something into your archive and safely delete it from your computer, knowing you still have a copy online.</p>
<div id="attachment_363" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSync-Desktop-Screenshot.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-363" title="SugarSync Desktop Screenshot" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSync-Desktop-Screenshot-300x142.jpg" alt="SugarSync Desktop Client" width="300" height="142" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SugarSync Desktop Client</p></div>
<p>The desktop application offers pretty much all the functionality of the web client. When you first open the program you&#8217;ll see a list of the files on the computer you are currently viewing, as well as a list to the left containing icons for your Magic Briefcase, Web Archive, etc.</p>
<p>There are also convenient buttons for accessing the photo gallery, your online site and your shared folders. You can also easily send and share files, so the only time you&#8217;d really need to work directly with the online interface is when you were away from your personal computer.</p>
<p>Clicking the &#8220;Manage Sync Folders&#8221; button at the top of the screen will open a window that allows you to add local folders to SugarSync, as well as select folders from other computers to synchronize. If a folder is added to SugarSync but not connected to another computer, the contents are being backed up in real time, but not affecting any other hard drives.  The entire interface is extremely user friendly, but if organizing different folders is more work than you are interested in, you can always just use the Magic Briefcase as described earlier.</p>
<h2>SugarSync For BlackBerry</h2>
<div id="attachment_365" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSync-ScreenShot-1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-365" title="SugarSync For BlackBerry" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSync-ScreenShot-1-225x300.jpg" alt="SugarSync For BlackBerry Home Screen" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SugarSync For BlackBerry Home Screen</p></div>
<p>This is where it gets really fun. SugarSync offers several mobile clients including support for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile devices, and Symbian  &#8211; in addition to the ability to access your online account from pretty much any web enabled phone.</p>
<p>From the SugarSync application you can do pretty much anything you want. Accessing computers and online files is a breeze, simply navigate to and select the file you need and SugarSync will download it to your phone and cache it for use.</p>
<p>If you have the right software, you can edit files from your phone (usinge &#8220;Docs-To-Go&#8221; to edit an MS Word document on a BlackBerry for example). Once you finish editing a file, SugarSync notes the change and asks if it should be uploaded.</p>
<div id="attachment_367" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSync-ScreenShot-5.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-367" title="SugarSync For BlackBerry File Browser" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/SugarSync-ScreenShot-5-225x300.jpg" alt="Viewing Synchronized Files From a BlackBerry" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Viewing Synchronized Files From a BlackBerry</p></div>
<p>You can easily upload any files from your BlackBerry, the only problem here is that there isn&#8217;t an option to upload multiple files into a que &#8211; each file must be selected individually. This makes uploading, let&#8217;s say an photo or two that you want to share really quickly a breeze, but beyond that you will probably want to wait to transfer the files to your computer and upload them from there.</p>
<p>One of the real benefits of the mobile application is that if you know in advance that you want the pictures you are taking uploaded, you can fire up the application and select &#8220;Take photo,&#8221; which will launch your BlackBerry&#8217;s native camera application and upload any pictures you take from there (please note, only photos taken from <strong><em>within</em></strong> the SugarSync app are automatically uploaded) to you Mobile Photos folder, which is synchronized across all of your computers.</p>
<p>Viewing images from your device is equally simple. Each image is downloaded and and cached to your phone, and you can scroll through the pictures in a particular folder one at a time. Each picture also has a &#8220;High Res&#8221; option in case you need to view in greater detail.</p>
<p>SugarSync is also capable of streaming music to your phone as well, so if you synchronize your iTunes library, you&#8217;ll be able to access it anywhere, without necessarily having to keep it all on your phone at once.</p>
<p>SugarSync offers several different price options depending on how much storage you need. Each plan includes a <a href="http://sugarsync.onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com" target="_blank">30 day free trial</a>, which is plenty of time to get comfortable with it before making any final decisions.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-468" title="JingSun" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/JingSun.png" alt="JingSun" width="80" height="80" />Sometimes when working online you need to grab an image of something on your screen. It could be anything from a logo, to a screenshot or a short demo video for a team member. The problem is that grabbing that on-screen content isn&#8217;t always easy.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Let&#8217;s face it, taking a screen shot, copying it into an image editor, cropping and resizing the image, saving it, attaching it to an email&#8230; is just way too much work!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>So, what&#8217;s the solution?</strong></span></p>
<h2>Jing Screen Capture Software</h2>
<p>Jing Project (or just &#8220;Jing&#8221;) is an incredibly lightweight screen capture software tool designed to simplify the process of saving and sharing the things that happen on your computer screen. The basic version is available for free at <a href="http://JingProject.com" target="_blank">JingProject.com</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-469" title="JingInAction" src="http://onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/JingInAction.png" alt="JingInAction" width="117" height="74" />Once installed, Jing takes the form of a small yellow sun. When not in use, that sun sits at the edge of your screen so it&#8217;s out of the way (I tend to forget it&#8217;s there until I need it for something). Whenever you need to capture something, simply move your mouse over the little yellow sun and three &#8220;rays&#8221; will appear with &#8220;Capture,&#8221; &#8220;History,&#8221; and &#8220;More&#8221; buttons that look like the picture to the right.</p>
<p>Clicking capture will allow you to select the area of your screen you want by clicking and dragging. Then it&#8217;s a simple matter of selecting whether you want an image or a video.</p>
<h3>Image Screen Capture</h3>
<p>Once you select an area to capture by clicking and dragging across your screen &#8211; with Jing conveniently measuring the size of the area you&#8217;ve selected &#8211; you can take a snapshot of your screen with a single click. Jing then provides a preview of the image that you can save, delete or edit.</p>
<p>If you need to add to the image you&#8217;ve captured, Jing provides tools to easily add arrows, boxes, highlighting and captions. Once your image is good to go, all you have to do is save and share it.</p>
<p>In terms of sharing, you can easily add buttons to post your image to your twitter, facebook, or flickr account &#8211; as well as options to copy the image to your clipboard so you can paste it wherever you want (even if you haven&#8217;t saved it!) or upload it to your web server via FTP.</p>
<p>Basically, Jing makes it easy to quickly take any portion of your computer screen and move it to wherever you might need it.</p>
<h3>Video Screen Capture</h3>
<p>If an image is worth a thousand words, video has to be pretty valuable too&#8230; which is why Jing makes it just as easy to record video of the action on your screen as it is to capture an image.</p>
<p>After selecting the capture area, simply click the video button and start recording! Jing will capture anything on your screen for up to five minutes at a time (you can, of course make multiple recordings if you need to). The recording can be paused while you move between windows or prepare your presentation, and then saved in .swf format when it&#8217;s complete.</p>
<p>To easily share the video with others, there is a single click button to upload the video to ScreenCast.com &#8211; on of Jing&#8217;s sister products from TechSmith. Videos can also be edited in Camtasia (also from TechSmith) with a single click.</p>
<p>Jing Pro edition unlocks additional features to allow for even more sharing options, and the option to record videos as .mp4 files, rather than .swf &#8211; making them more accessible to other viewing and editing programs, but for most users the <a href="http://JingProject.com" target="_blank">basic free version</a> is enough to save a TON of time.</p>

<span style="color: #000080;"><strong><em>Communication is key.</em> </strong></span>

<em><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Demonstration and collaboration are essential. </strong></span></em>

Sometimes it's just easier to <em><strong>show</strong></em> someone what you mean instead of trying to explain it to them. Sometimes it's more effective for you and the person you're talking to to be looking at the same things at the same time. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy for someone across the country, or halfway around the world, to look over your shoulder when you want to show them something.

<img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-3247971-10677012" border="0" alt="Try Dimdim for the World's Easiest Onlline Meeting" width="125" height="125" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:red"><strong>UPDATE:</strong> DimDim has now been acquired by SalesForce.com &#8211; a larger company that offers a much more diverse list of products, including a lot of the things DimDim used to offer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><em>Communication is key.</em> </strong></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Demonstration and collaboration are essential. </strong></span></em></p>
<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s just easier to <em><strong>show</strong></em> someone what you mean instead of trying to explain it to them. Sometimes it&#8217;s more effective for you and the person you&#8217;re talking to to be looking at the same things at the same time.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it isn&#8217;t always easy for someone across the country, or halfway around the world, to look over your shoulder when you want to show them something.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><a href="http://dimdim.onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com" target="_blank">Dimdim</a> can change all of that. </strong></span></p>
<h2>A Brief DimDim Review</h2>
<p>Dimdim is a flexible, easy to use web conferencing platform that allows you to hold <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>l</strong><strong>ive web meetings with up to 20 people for free </strong></span>(larger meetings can be held with paid subscriptions).</p>
<h3>Share Web Pages</h3>
<p>If you find yourself needing to guide a person or group through a particular webpage, DimDim will do the trick. No worrying about whether or not everyone is on the right page, seeing what they need to see, in real time &#8211; all without anything to download or install.</p>
<p>This feature generally seems to work best on more basic pages, where other sites with more elaborate content can sometimes pop up an unexpected &#8220;Are you sure you want to leave this page&#8221; message from your web browser. All things considered, this isn&#8217;t a huge problem, but it can lead to an attendee accidentally leaving the meeting (it&#8217;s easy enough for them to jump back in though!).</p>
<h3>Whiteboards</h3>
<p>Some ideas are easier to share visually &#8211; so DimDim provides easy to use virtual whiteboards. This feature makes it simple to draw a quick sketch or outline for the participants of your meeting. To make collaboration even easier, other participants can also add to the whiteboard as questions or new ideas arise!</p>
<h3>Presentations</h3>
<p>DimDim&#8217;s Presentation sharing provides a turn-key option for sharing your PDF files or PowerPoint presentations with all of your meeting. All you have to do is click on th &#8220;Show Presentation&#8221; button while hosting a meeting, upload the file and you&#8217;re on you&#8217;re way!</p>
<p>You can now share your entire presentation with your group without anyone having to install any software. All they need is your personal DimDim URL (and the login password if you choose to use one) and they&#8217;re in! DimDim&#8217;s built in laser pointer and annotation tools make presenting easy for everyone to follow.</p>
<h3>Screen Sharing</h3>
<p>Full screen sharing is, for me at least, where DimDim REALLY shines. This feature does require a small plugin download for your computer, which will run in the background and make it super simple to start a screen sharing session (two clicks is all it takes!).</p>
<p>Once the plugin is installed on your computer, you can share your screen with anyone who has your URL and (optional) meeting password &#8211; but your attendees won&#8217;t have to download or install a thing! All they have to do is enter your DimDim URL and you can show them whatever you need to!</p>
<h3>Video And Voice Conferencing</h3>
<p>DimDim makes face to face meetings easy by including easy webcam support, as well as two audio options. For smaller meetings, you and your attendees can communicate through your computer&#8217;s microphones. For larger groups, every DimDim account includes access to a free conference bridge.</p>
<p>The dial in and password for the conference line are included in the invitation emails sent to your attendees, as well as being displayed at the top of the meeting screen. Regardless of the size of your meeting, everyone can stay in touch &#8211; but even if they can&#8217;t, DimDim meetings also provide a live chat window for everyone to use as well.</p>
<h3>Schedule Meetings And Post Registration Widgets</h3>
<p>When you schedule a meeting in advance, DimDim provides an easy to use widget that can be added to you web page or blog. This makes it extremely easy for new attendees to register for your webinar. Anyone you choose to invite to the meeting, as well as anyone who registers through your widget will receive an email with the date, time and log in information they need, all in one convenient place.</p>
<h3>Instant Start Meetings</h3>
<p>Not all meetings are planned in advance, which is why DimDim makes it simple to start a meeting on the fly. Logging into DimDim allows you to instantly start a meeting, which can be joined by anyone with your DimDim meeting URL.</p>
<p>If you choose to share your screen on DimDim, starting a meeting is even simpler. Screen sharing with DimDim is achieved through a small plugin, which runs in your computer&#8217;s taskbar. Clicking on the ScreenCast icon on your desktop opens then menu, and from there all you need to do is click &#8220;Share My Screen,&#8221; and you&#8217;re live!</p>
<p>Once you launch an instant meeting, anyone that you tell, email, IM, or tweet your DimDim URL to will be able to join &#8211; so impromptu collaboration is quick and painless (oh, and the URLs are extremely easy to share: my.dimdim.com/username &#8211; so there&#8217;s no need to worry about anyone getting lost on the way to the meeting!).</p>
<h3>Webinar Recording</h3>
<p>DimDim also provides a great deal of leverage by offering webinar recording. This makes it easy for attendees to review material, without having to ask you for a refresher, as well as allowing you to turn your webinars into valuable training materials.</p>
<p>With webinar recording, you can go through your presentation once, save it, and share the recording with others in the future, so you don&#8217;t need to cover the same topics over and over again! The recordings can even be automatically sent to your attendees via email at the end of the meeting, saving you time and energy.</p>
<p>All in all, DimDim is easily one of the most complete, cost effective webinar solutions on the market. DimDim turns a screen sharing platform into a collaboration engine, making it easy for your attendees to do more than just watch. With DimDim, you can share what you need to, and your group can interact with you in real time in ways that make the meeting as effective and beneficial as possible.</p>
<p>DimDim comes with a several reasonable price points, including a free trial; so if you&#8217;re looking for a realistic webinar solution, <a href="http://dimdim.onlinebusinessandmarketingcoaches.com" target="_blank">checking out DimDim should <em>definitely</em> be your next move!</a></p>

MyLeadSystemPro, or MLSP as it is more commonly known in the industry, is a personal branding and attraction marketing system that any network marketer can use for any network marketing company. It is also an education and training platform.

<span style="color: #000080;"><strong>That's great, but what does this mean for you?</strong></span>

First of all, it's important to understand that MLSP was created from the lessons taught in Mike Dillard's <a href="http://lacwav.magneticsponsoringonline.com/letter.html" target="_blank">Magnetic Sponsoring</a>. In order to sponsor more distributors into your primary business, you need to brand yourself (by creating "YOU, Inc.") and you need to provide value to your prospects.

I think it's fair to assume that you realize by now the importance and significance of branding yourself in this industry.

However, if your marketing consists of just using company replicated websites to try to get people to join your business or if you're struggling to sponsor distributors, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>then you should definitely read the rest of this post!</strong></span>]]></description>

<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>MyLeadSystemPro was created for the everyday network marketer who is struggling on the internet.</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>The marketer who is driving traffic to company replicated websites and building someone else&#8217;s list.</li>
<li>The marketer who blends into the background and doesn&#8217;t stand out because they are not branding themselves, but rather their network marketing company!</li>
<li>The marketer who is struggling to put together their own email autoresponder messages.</li>
<li>The marketer who isn&#8217;t making money off of the prospects that say no their opportunity.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>I think that last one bears repeating.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>The marketer who isn&#8217;t making money off of the prospects that say no to their opportunity.</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Here are some of the key features of MyLeadSystemPro:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>It allows you to target the absolute hottest prospects (you may be surprised by the answer to this one).</li>
<li>It allows you to brand yourself as the leader.</li>
<li>It allows you to build YOUR list not your company&#8217;s list.</li>
<li>It provides you with a complete series of autoresponder messages, however it allows you to have complete control over those messages so you can customize them as you wish.</li>
<li>It includes a sales funnel to provide for multiple streams of income.</li>
<li>It allows for customization so you can promote your primary business opportunity.</li>
<li>It allows you to monetize your list so that you are making money off of your prospects even if they NEVER join your primary business.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ok, so this is great, but I know your asking yourself one question.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>What about the training and education you mentioned above?</strong></span></p>

<p>If you can&#8217;t make the webinar, no problem! You will be able to watch the recorded copy posted in your back office. To date, there are more than 50 recorded training webinars with industry leaders such as <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Brian Fanale, Mike Dillard, DK, Jimmy Davis and so many more.</strong></span></p>

While it&#8217;s true that not every marketer needs to be able to build a website from scratch, things like creating links with anchor text, or displaying images are useful skills.</p>
<p>Learning how to write these, and other basic formatting codes, can help a lot when publishing content online, and one of the best places to learn these skills is at <a href="http://w3schools.com" target="_blank">W3Schools.com.</a></p>

With easy to follow lessons, you can quickly learn as much (or as little) about writing code as you want. The lessons are nicely broken up into single steps, so learning to do that one thing you want to know is easy.</p>
<p>When and if you are ready to tackle learning things like CSS, PHP, XML and so much more, W3Schools also provides step by step training on these topics as well!</p>
