Over 45 Minutes Of Free Video Training Available Now

Recently, I purchased Camtasia to create my screen capture videos. It has a powerful editing interface that helps the user put out some really great videos. Before Camtasia, I was using an open source freeware called CamStudio. It was a nice little program and you couldn't beat the price. It's major downside was that it had no editing features.

I also was able to get Sharon Eiben, a video editor, to help me give the videos that added professional touch. The results: much better quality videos all around.

Starting today, I am taking over 45 minutes of my video tips and making them available anytime to my newsletter subscribers. So, not only will you get a new free video tip each week, you will also have access to these videos anytime you want to view them just for joining my free video tips newsletter. Here are some of the things you will learn in the 45 minutes you get access to:

  • Learn to connect your WordPress blog, Blogger blog, or any web site to your book's shopping cart so visitors can purchase your book with a click of a button
  • Learn how to create custom title bars on your web page and why that's important for marketing your book
  • Learn how to create virtual pages on your Blogger blog
  • Learn how to integrate your blog into your current website even if your blog is hosted somewhere else (like Blogger, for example)
  • Learn what a favicon is, why it's an important branding technique, and how to create a free one for your website (there are business that will charge you $50, $100, even $150 to do the same thing for you!)
  • Learn how to create an Amazon Widget to sell your books directly on your blog, social media page or website
In past newsletters, we have also looked at how to use Google Analytics in your marketing efforts, Twitter Tools, Social Bookmarking Buttons and much more. To start watching over 45 minutes worth of tips right now, visit my video tips page. If you want to preview a sample video before joining the newsletter, scroll to the bottom of that page and you'll find a sample to watch today.

I am excited about making these 45 minutes of free videos available to you. I hope you enjoy them; more importantly, I hope they help you better market your book today.

"Tony's Blog has been a valuable resource to me as I got started marketing my first nationally published book. I subscribe to the rss feed and always gain something new from each post. It is as if I am enrolled in a marketing class for new authors on line. Tony's posts are always written in easy to understand terms and he gives step by step instructions. If you are a new author or wanting to become one, I highly recommend you follow Tony's advice and subscribe to his blog. You will not regret it. It's like taking a course for free!"- Dawn Stephens, Author and Illustrator, The Little Pot Series

What people are saying about our free marketing video tips

Let me just tell you... Your archive tip on linking a photo to another page where people can buy your book was so incredibly helpful and amazingly clear that you now have a real fan. SO smart to take away the fear that so many have of HTML. I followed it to the letter and posted a link on my blog today. Have a look. It's all because of you.
