Question of the Day

Here's what Susan Snyder had to say:

Hi Richard, Good Question. I may just not have the capital for high tech. I don't have the $$ to buy a digital video recorder nor the tripod, etc. to set up a recording during a class. Would have to learn how to get the sound levels and clarity right as well as keeping my body in the visual field while teaching a class (moving around). And THEN I'd have to use my older software/hardware (might be too old to handle the recorded info) to download (if not store) this video. Even if I store it on a flash drive, I still have to download to my older, slower Mac.

Even so, I have some copyright issues to deal with. I don't own the copyright to some of the movements I teach. They can be viewed by students for learning purposes, but not sold.

Is that a good place to start?

My response: This might be a good place for some bartering (dibspace). Plus you can do audios and ebooks/special reports that extoll the virtues without disclosing "trade secrets."

Draw paying customers by educating them. Create a gap between their pain and the solution. Then offer a solution to fill the gap.

Richard,

Are we experiencing some tech rage? Susan Snyder has some wonderful Qigong techniques to help you with that!

Care to elaborate?

Susan, I assume you are referring to Richard Geasey.

Here is another response from Kate Phillips:

You mean besides actually FINISHING the products!? Then it would be knowing what shopping cart system was the best, and how to actually get the web part set up, with a sales letter leading to a shopping cart (with the proper graphics for the e-book or info product); preferably finding a simple-do-it-yourself system that was very simple AND inexpensive!

Every shopping cart has its pluses and minuses. It depends on your website platform and price issues. I use Word Press for most of my websites and there is a shopping cart solution - "eCommerce" that is very good. I use Aweber, but there are many others including iContact and Constant Contact. Instantshoppingcart has an autoresponder bulit in but runs @ 100.00/mo.

I'll do some research and get back to you on this. Or if anyone else has some thoughts please put them out here for everyone.
