Create Your Own Short Promo Video

With the Free tools available of the Internet, it is now easy to create your own short promo video for whatever subject you want.

Here is one that I created for my Web Design Company.  I used a couple of still images and just uploaded them to Animoto.com

This is very easy and very cool.  Now anyone can do this and it’s free if you don’t mind leaving the short commercial at the end.

When you decide that you need to hire someone to get a project done, you have a number of options. You can go directly to a company that specializes in doing Web Design / Product Creation, or you can go to specialized Freelancer sites that you can hire the specific skill needed.

My company, WebYabber.com is focused on web design, graphics creation and product development for a number of clients. From mini-sites to full blown corporate identity packages, to eCovers to PDF creation of your next hot selling eBook, we can do it all.

Of course, you can also go directly to one of the big “Hire a Freelancer Sites” listed below to hire the skill you need to get your project done.

Elance – The largest online freelance site. Probably the best site if you want a large professional job. However if you are looking at a smaller job or you want to cut costs to the bone you may be better off with Rentacoder or Scriptlance. Elance charges the freelance providers to just be listed on the site, whereas Rentacoder and Scriptlance only charge the providers once a project has been selected.

Rentacoder – Probably the second largest coding freelance site. Worth checking out. When you get a project done through Rentacoder you put the entire project fees into an escrow account. You don’t release the fees until the project is complete. This is good because it gives reassurance to the coder that they are going to pay you, but it also can be difficult if you have a large project, because you have to pay the entire amount into an escrow account, although you can put the project into stages and pay based on each stage.

Scriptlance – This site has the lowest costs but it doesn’t have some of the features of Elance and Rentacoder. Not as professional but good if you want really cheap coding.

Getafreelancer.com – Another reasonably good freelancing site

Guru - quite a large outsourcing site

Use Site Build It to build your web site

Site Build – It may be a better option for you than hiring an outside contractor. This software will give you high ranking on the search engines as well as have your own email list and hosting all included. It is a much easier option and has several tools included that help you to build your own site without any knowledge of HTML. The best thing about this tool is that it helps you to get high rankings in the search engines and has lots of bonuses included. You can also hire someone to use the Site Build It software and do everything for you if you want.

The Old Master Still Shines!

If you have been looking for ways to improve your life, I found that a simple formula works. I found these words so long ago in the famous book “Think and Grow Rich”. If you have not read this book, I suggest that you do as it gives some very good advise.

In the book, you will find many golden nuggets to enrich your life, but for me, the most important ones are these:

  • Fix your mind on the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want plenty of money”. Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter)
  • Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such thing as “something for nothing”)
  • Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
  • Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
  • Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
  • Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read – see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

You can change this to anything you want in your life, it does not just have to be for money…

This is such a simple idea and yet very few people use this to get what they want out of life.

If you look around you and find the successful people, you can bet that they do something like this all the time.

What you focus your mind on, what your desire so strongly that you can taste it, is what you will get. But you need to be very clear about what you want, you need to have a vision in your mind about it. You need to think about it every day and you need to take action.

If you use the simple steps above, the things you desire in life will come to you.

The Goal Setting Blueprint

Why is goal setting important? Because if you aim at nothing… That is what you are going to hit!

Whenever you see anything worthwhile being done anywhere, it’s because someone is behind it with a passion, a belief and a goal!

When it comes to your personal and business life, goal setting can make the difference between failure and success.

Much is said about goal setting.

But just how do you set and accomplish goals?

Is there some goal setting formula or strategy that can be employed to increase your chances of success?

Thankfully, YES!
