y I’ve been playing with Snagit 9…the awesome screen capture utility tool created by TechSmith. If you haven’t already become familiar with this tool I highly recommend that you give it a try. They have a free 30 day fully functional trial, so you have nothing to loose and a lot to gain by experimenting with this tool.
Someone once asked John Thornhill (marketer extraordinaire) what were the three most important elements that he couldn’t live without in his Internet business. I can’t remember what the other two were, but I do remember Snagit was one of them. Now, here’s a guy who’s been around making money on the net for quite sometime now and is definitely at the top of his game. If he says Snagit is one tool he can’t live without, I am going to sit up and pay attention. I knew then it was just a matter of time before I took the plunge to understand this creative, fun, versatile screen capture tool.
Snagit offers five different capture modes and over 40 different ways to copy text, video, images and website content from your screen. You can then easily add some of the effects they offer as well as text and arrows. Snagit allows you to capture the entire screen, including scrolling images or you can capture a partial image like the one I captured and included in this post.
With Snagit9.1…the newest version, the wide range of tools and effects are simplified in an icon structured menu that is easy to navigate. Tools to resize, redraw, recolor are all at your fingertips as Snagits powerful editor allows you to crop, resize, adjust color, add text and apply custom effects without the use of any other application. Additonally, Snagit will not only capture these screenshots for you, but offers an image tagging and indexing library which makes it easy for you to organize and locate later.
In a few previous posts, I talked at length about how important it is to have a forum and how a forum can contribute so many things to your membership site.
Not only can you achieve more by having a… Continue reading
Is there anyone out there that doesn’t know about Twitter by now? You’d have to have been living under a rock to not know about Twitter these days and it continues to grow in popularity. Even if you… Continue reading
Since web hosting is such an important part of any website, membership sites included, I’d like to spend a little time this morning espousing the merits of d9 hosting. D9 hosting is owned and run by Dan Thompson and Paula Brett and opened it’s doors in the spring of 2007. Dan and Paula were simply tired of the shabby hosting solutions that were available. They wanted to create a solution that would solve some of these problems such as unacceptable downtime, and slow unacceptable support.
So, the two most important things to look for when searching for a hosting company is reliability and customer service. Without these two elements firmly in place, your website is in danger of not being seen.
Building your site, driving traffic to it and supplying fresh, in demand content is enough to have on your plate when you open the doors to your new website. You need a hosting company that will make sure you are provided with the uptime you need…afterall, your success depends on the customer being able to reach you. Make sure your site can be seen at all times as well as loading efficiently and quickly. You do not want the consumer leaving your site because it loads too slow. So, make sure your host has high bandwidth and fast connection.
Taking a bit of a break this morning from serious talk to something more inspirational. We all have moments when we just need something to inspire us to keep on keeping on…with whatever vision it is we are trying… Continue reading
