I’m trying to get this embed thing working so I can show you what it’s all about . The embed code is playing up though. Will keep trying.
In the meantime just go over to http://www.justin.tv/wealthcoach
I have found the MOST exciting thing on the internet - knocks even YouTube into touch!
Joel Comm was twittering about Justin.tv and I thought “oh no! not another place to upload my videos to…..” when I went to take a look and thought MAN! this is amazing.
Check out http://www.JustIn.tv/wealthcoach to see the show I broadcast between internet marketing coachiing clients today.
I’m doing another test broadcast at 17.00 uk time, so if you want to join me, and ask questions about wealth creation and how to make more money, live, using the chat function, I will do my best to concentrate and answer them!
So exciting!

Well, there I was, on my landmark groundbreaking webinar with two silent callers and the heroic Linda.
Thank gawd for Linda or I would have been on my own and it was also Linda that supplied the answer to what was going on. Somehow, the Webinar ID for the Free call tonight had become transposed with the ID for tomorrow’s Gold & Silver call.
Bummer.
The worst thing about it, apart from the disappointed callers (who at least can listen to the recording - and let me tell you! Linda was great!) was that I had spent 2 hours working out the optimal combination of camcorder and microphone to be able to record and speak to camera, while hosting a telephone webinar.
So much for recuperating from my operation slowly - what was I thinking? Apparently Marion, one of our coaches has already sent an email to Steve saying “What is she doing!!??”
Anyway, the edited version of the recording (minus my tuts and gasps of exasperation) will be available.
The other thing I realised halfway through was that while the people on the video could see my screen, and me, chatting in
an animated fashion “to camera” they would not be able to hear what was happening on the phone. My end yes, the other end no.
LOLOLOL
Right, back to basics for tomorrow.
Recording up on the blog tomorrow - just click this link http://www.MoneyGymRadio.com
Cheers
Nicola (& Linda obviously)
If you want to add video and audio to your blog / website (and you should!) there are a number of inexpensive turnkey solutions to this, the best of which is Armand Morin’s Generator suite of products including InstantAudioGenerator and InstantVideoGenerator.
However, my mentor in all of this is Mike Stewart who you can find at www.FromTheDeskofMikeStewart.com - he owns his own recording studio in Nashville and speaks at every internet marketing event as he’s passionate about this. He has some very inexpensive tutorials on DVD or to download, and walks you through all the equipment you need (and never more than you need!)
TECHIE STUFF: I use either a handheld digital FlipVideo (great quality and perfect for testimonials) or a simple inexpensive camcorder on a tripod, and a really decent mic which makes a huge difference (either a hand-held mic or a lavalier mic which clips to my collar and plugs into the camcorder) or a desk based studio quality mic, which connects to my computer via an Edirol soundbox.
I have a lightsnake which connects a mic to the puter without a soundbox, but have never managed to make that work - same with my firewire which connects the camcorder to the puter. So I soldier on with USB connections and they work fine.I use Mike’s simple bit of software which captures the sound and video together into a short .AVI video which I can then edit. To edit, you can use Windows Movie Maker (Start menu > Accessories > WMM) or now I use Sony Vegas Movie Maker - allows you to layer the “5 essential elements of great TV” which is moving pictures, still pictures, sound/music, effects, text. I then turn the edited .AVI file into either an MPEG or WMV file for uploading to YouTube / Google Video, or a FLASH movie for streaming from our own site.To create the latter, I use Mike Stewart and Jim Edwards FLV Producer software (very inexpensive) then their FLV Player Creator, which uploads the video and the code for the “little TV” you see.
All of these bits of software cost between $40 and $90 and they all simplify the process and streamline it.
OUTCOMES: To give you an idea, I can film a short movie and have it online in about 15 minutes. Just yesterday, someone booked on one or our workshops and quoted the podcast as how she heard about us.
If you upload a big video file to Google, such as a .AVI or .WMV file, you can then download it as an MPEG4 which you can then easily video podcast for folks to look at on their new iPhone - we use Hipcast.com which also podcasts audio and video via iTunes, but I do know how to do it from your Wordpress blog too now.
See some examples at www.MoneyGym.tv or on our TV channel at YouTube - www.YouTube.com/wealthcoach
You know things are bad on the boredom front when you start looking forward to the One Show. It’s a bit like South Today but a teeny bit livelier. A teeny bit.
I’m two days into recovery from the removal of my gall bladder operation (see the whole procedure here on YouTube - I didn’t dare watch before but fascinating now, watched it three times so far) and when the drugs have kicked in the boredom also kicks in.
When it hurts I’m happy to sleep, when it doesn’t I’m swapping from blogging, to poker, to reading to watching day time tv including endless re-runs of Homes Under The Hammer (I’m quite enjoying the latter when not shouting at the TV “Don’t sell, WHY are you selling?!!”
Then you think “I can’t stay in bed any longer, I’m getting up” and like an old lady stapled in half, you totter to the bathroom and by the time you get there you remember what you just went through and why you were in bed in the first place.
Steve is being an absolute angel (well, he says it’s not actually making much difference me being in bed!) and even the kids are behaving themselves ……largely.
It was the drain that is causing the pain apparently - must have been attached to my lung by the feel of it. Still, I’m able to haul myself upright on my own today, shame as it was quite fun being winched about by the gang!
Tomorrow I’m going to work the “machines behind the scenes” on the Money Gym Gold wealth surgery webinar, then spend the day learning how to podcast etc, using our new Wordpress blog as taught by my audio and video mentor Mike Stewart.
