An Aiptek Video Recorder is an affordable marketing tool you can use to attract more clients. You can get the latest Aiptek camcorder, the DV5 for around $100 and it is a 6 in 1 multi-functioning video recorder, with digital camera, MP3 players, voice recorder, web cam recorder for DVDs, and has a removable hard drive and an internal flash card reader.

Using a video recorder to impress your clients can involve several techniques that are affordable using an Aiptek camcorder as a tool. It can zoom in for close-ups as close as 10 inches, so you can get great shots. You can use basic software to make videos with background music or voice recordings. Software like Windows Movie Maker is free and serves the purpose well.

1. Create a Video of your workshops or demonstrations or a Photo collage of your products. You could create a video of yourself giving advice or how-to information and put it on your website. Just keep in mind not to put more than a couple on your website because it can make the load time longer than most people like. It’s a great way to take still shots of your products, using the zoom function on your Aiptek camcorder. There is nothing worse than looking at a website and not being able to make out the details of the products offered.

2. Customer testimonials are great for marketing. If you have a workshop or product demonstration, you can get the customers on video using your Aiptek camcorder and a tripod, saying what they learned, or how impressed they were to buy the product, or why they needed your product. It’s a great way to build loyalty and trust, and usually clients will flatter your products more when they know they are being videotaped. Read more…

Online customers can be the most difficult people to please. And you cannot do anything about it. Because the customer is ALWAYS right. Even if they are wrong, they are still always right.

If you have had enough of dealing with these kinds of customers, there are 5 features you can have in your website that are sure to make your customers take their business somewhere else.

1. The Long and Winding Flash.

Flash equals fast. NOT.

In the internet world, flash means taking forever to load. Wasting some minutes of your time to see the presentation. People will still get on with their lives even if they do not see flashes on websites.

There is also the fact that putting on a cheesy intro, spinning circles and moving lines is NOT an effective marketing tactic. Online people dislike that. So does the search engines.

2. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Tags.

Blink. Blink. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. It is the tags. They are blinking!

And the purpose is what? Make people have their eyes checked? Or try to be cute in a not-so-cute fashion?

Rethink your purpose in using blinking tags. Because believe it or not, there is no real useful purpose for those tags. Read more…

Achieving Your Goals Using Your Imagination

As I’ve stated previously, lack of effort is the main reason why people fail in the online marketing industry (given they’ve received proper training). Once people see what’s actually required of themselves to succeed in this industry, many give up with little effort, or without even trying at all. Setting personal goals can be one huge factor in changing that. You may think this is a ridiculous statement, or a meaningless factor, but it’s not. What better way to motivate yourself to achieve your goals than to envision actually accomplishing these goals and achieving some level of personal fulfillment?

Take a few minutes to write out a list of 30 things you dream of achieving (10 short-term, 10 long-term, and 10 very long-term). Personally, the freedom of working from home, the additional free time, the money (can’t lie), and the ability to help others, are personal factors which motivate me to achieve my goals (all factors in personal happiness). When I first began this business I made such a list… here are a few examples from that list to help give you some ideas:

1) Become a skilled guitar player (time)
2) Buy my dream car (money)
3) Buy a nice condo in my neighbourhood (money)
4) Travel (time, money, and personal freedom to do what I want when I want)
5) Help my family and friends get out of debt (money)
6) Quit the job that I hate (happiness) Read more…
