12/24/11 Evening… Newly released!

Barbara — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 18:53:35 +0000

It's Saturday, and before I shut
down for the weekend, I managed to

Got lots to share this right now but first,
let's start off with a wish for this evening.

www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150438111268663&set=a.140427893662.110304.140417668662&type=1&theater

And onto my last hurrah before taking it easy…

I just released

==> [TIME-SENSITIVE] BarbLing's 2012 Unique Boldly Cash In On Unwanted Holiday Gifts!

www.barbaraling.com/learnmore/uhg.php

It incluedes some nifty clever ways
to turn all those unwanted gifts you might
be receiving into something far more useful
(cash!).

With that, methinks I'll call it a night.
Hope your day is grand, and whatever
holiday you might celebrate now or
in the future…may it rock tremendously
for you and your loved ones.

Grow strong,

12/23/11 Make money with Twitter, Niche profits, more!

Barbara — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:57:01 +0000

It's Thursday which means Friday comes
tomorrow which means the weekend is
beckoning happily to you!

Woot!

Got lots to share this morning but first,
let's start off with:

A Truly Factual Fortune Cookie!

www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150568259633465&set=a.146378783464.135586.129446698464&type=1&theater

I can definitely relate to that.

And in other news..

My latest, Twitter Profit Secrets, has
garnered tremendous (I mean really sterling!)
reviews over at

www.barbaraling.com/learnmore/tps.php

Do check it out…I'd love to hear what
you think!

Next, I just requested a review copy of

==> Step by Step Training to Niche Site Domination

www.dailywsos.com/discover/dec2011/niche/dom.php

It's slanted to newbies, so before telling y'all about
it, I wanted to see if it was good enough for you.

And it is! You can see my review up at
that thread; it includes:

"…This is a 27 page PDF that not only lists Ryan's affiliate marketing strategies, but also gives screen shots with critical issues circled so you can't miss them.

True gold is found on page 12, where he gives a day-by-day technique for an aspect of SEO that many niche affiliate marketers never truly strategize. That page itself is worth the cost of the report.

The OTO is an utter steal and a no-brainer for anyone who wants to make quality niche sites….."

I've been doing niche marketing since before cavewomen
invented fire, so….yep. I know what niche marketing
involves! It's a great starter/newbie product that also
has some nifty advanced tips too.

And that be it for this morning! Oh wait,
one more thing – I've decided that every Friday,
I want to give away a good IM gift to my list
members. Is there anything in particular you'd
like? If so, pls drop me a line and tell me about
it…thanks!

then go there then…" etc.etc.etc.

Not only that, but the ideas are applicable to
*any* niche, not just embarrassing ones!

Next, into affiliate blogging with 20 PLR blogs?

the affiliate URL in seconds, more! If you're
into niche-izing, this is definitely something to
check out.

Finally, if you want to make money with the
*new* Facebook Timeline changes, you'll want
to see:

==> FB Timeline Skins

www.daiylwsos.com/discover/dec2011/facebook/skins.php

You might have seen the new FB look and
feel popping up all over the place…well,
this goodie gives you over 50 Timeline Cover
images, full PSD files and more! It's huge
I tell you…huge!

And that be it for now….now as it's almost
6pm, it's time for me to consider shutting down.
See you tomorrow!

9 Soul-Searingly Wondrous (yet Amazingly Effective) Steps To Add Video To Your Optin Page Part II

Barbara — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:27:17 +0000

Hey all,

Thanks for swinging by my blog! This past week has been utterly mind-numbing in a soul-searingly beautiful way – my Vertical Learning Curve is now bending over backwards so I’m defying gravity as well!

But I digress.

In my last post:

6 Brilliant Squeeze Page Resources You’ll Want To Explore Part 1

I talked about, well, 6 Brilliant Squeeze Page Resources You’ll Want To Explore.

Having just spent the last week teaching myself how to add video (that DOESN’T have any recordings of me in it) to my optins, I decided to continue in this vein by sharing with you what I learned meself. And here it is!

Ready? Okay, here we go!

Step 1.) Internalize the following – Making a video is NOT scary. It really is NOT.

I have been shunning video now since, oh, hmmmm, the Dark Ages simply because I’m ‘way more comfortable with READING. I truly do NOT like to watch videos; I can read far quicker than videos can educate and for me, time IS money.

But! I’m not important whatsoever…my customers ARE. And if they’re expecting video, video is what I shall deliver!

So I forced myself to throw off any life-jacket and boldly leap into the scary waters of (gasp!) making a video.

And you know what? It’s not difficult at all.

Sooo…step 1 is to simply give yourself permission to LEARN and then TRY. It’s okay if you mess up by reciting the whole darned thing and then hearing Honorable Daughter 1 say, "Ummm, Mom, it would have helped if you had pressed ‘RECORD’" (and yes, that really did happen).

Step 2.) Write out your script.

I knew what I wanted to convey, so I sat down and wrote out the entire script in MS Word. The resulting document of dazzlement ended up being 4 pages long (and 8 minutes in spoken length).

Be sure to tweak the words! You have to recite it outloud to yourself and your spouse and your children and the store clerk to make certain you really do communicate the BENEFITS your optin is going to offer. Trust me, I know this…my kids now parade through my house singing, Hey there everyone, I’m Barbara Ling!

Kids. Gotta love em.

Next, move to

Step 3.) Break your script down into slides

Once you have your script done, go thru it once again and this time, break the paragraphs down into individual slides. Here’s an example of mine:

Slide 1
Hey there, I’m Barbara Ling, the author of Income Fitness and I want to share with you some of my favorite Income Fitness tips for free!

Slide 2
First, a bit of background – I’ve been making a very comfortable living online now since 1997 (that’s 12 years) and started building sites back when Mosaic was released, 16 years ago, in 1993. Since then, I have been quietly gathering up really neat tips and tricks that make my life much easier when I’m running my business and making money online. Oh yes, and I also run the Virtual Coach Income Fitness forums too (one of the friendliest most supportive communities online)

Today, I’d like to show you one nifty neat Income Fitness idea…and how you can take it and run with it this very moment. But before I do that, let me first invite you to enjoy our

Slide 3
Free cyber brekkies! You see, every morning one of our community members makes a great virtual cyber breakfast. After all, being profitable online is hard work…and a filling breakfast starts the day off right.

Okay now, ready to get some great ideas? ….Okay, let me ask you now…is your site naked?….

Having those Slide 1s and Slide 2s etc. really helps you build a logical sequence of thoughts and ideas.

Next, pounce upon

Step 4.) Design Your Powerpoint Slides

Based upon your script, the next step is to design your powerpoint slides. That’s a whole ‘nother thing in itself! Here are some cool resources for that:

Once that’s done, barrel your way into:

Step 5.) Record Your Script

Fire up the free audio recorder Audacity and record your script. Here’s a good tip – break down the recordings into Slide1-2, Slide3-4, etc.etc.etc. That way, you won’t have to re-record the whole blasted thing if you make a mistake in the last 3 seconds of your presentation. And yes, it took me 20 minutes of trying to do it all in one shot to realize that myself!

My kids…they were amused.

Save each chunk as a MP3. Once you have your MP3 files, it’s time to:

Step 6.) Bring up Windows Movie Maker

Open Windows Movie Maker and drap/drop all the audio files to the platform in order. Then play it and see how it sounds. Once you’re satisfied, keep that window open and:

Step 7.) Fire up Camtasia or Camstudio

I use the free software Camstudio to make my videos. It’s very simple to use. Here’s two resources for you:

Get the Powerpoint slideshow ready to rock by clicking on Slideshow | From the Beginning (I also made sure to start it in a smaller window). Make certain your Windows MovieMaker audio collection does NOT overlap it!

Then….use Camstudio to draw the screen over the powerpoint, hit the Record button, QUICKLY start the audio file playing and then ACTIVATE the slideshow window (but make certain the cursor doesn’t fall within the recording field!)

You’re now effectively recording the slideshow.

At the right times (this is where the script reeeally comes in handy), hit the spacebar to advance your slideshow as you hear the audio cues from your spoken script.

If you’re lucky, you’ll complete this task in only 28 takes or so. I kept on discovering ways to make it flow better, communicate more effectively, etc., so I enjoyed tons of re-takes.

When you’re done, save the avi file and then:

Step 8.) Drag and drop the avi file in Windows Moviemaker.

You now have BOTH the audio file AND the video file overlapping one another in a GOOD way. All that’s left for you to do is

Step 9.) Publish the video as a .WMV

Youtube can upload that.

Isn’t that a fistful of joyful dancing unicorns frolicking across the verdant green pasture of insane delight?

And THAT’S HOW Barbara got her groove back when making videos for her nifty neato cool blueprint, Income Fitness!

Here is the video in question. Whatcha think?

I have now added it to my optin page. Excuse me now while I go collapse in a heap.

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling
