Resource Of The Week: Jing- Free Screen-Casting Program

Today's resource of the week is Jing, a free screen-casting program brought to you by TechSmith, the creator of Camtasia. Hat-tip to Jane Friedman for her post on Jing.

Jing is a free screencast program that allows you to take a screenshot of your computer or a 5 minute video screenshot and post it online for free. You can also save the video for use later. While the basic program is free, you can get the pro version for added convenience like recording from your webcam and saving in a high def format, and publishing directly to YouTube.

Jing is created by Techsmith, the same people who make Camtasia and Snagit, so they have a lot of experience with image and video creation. There are a few free screen-capture tools out there, but based on Jane's review and from what I know about TechSmith (I use Camtasia), Jing is an exciting free tool that I wanted to share with you 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.
