Running Out Of Ideas?

Running out of ideas for posts to your blog?

One thing that will help is having a means of recording your ideas when you are not in  front of your PC.

These days it is a lot easier as most phones have a means of taking notes or voice recorder.

You never know when inspiration will hit.

A lot of songwriters have recorders to capture that melody that mysteriously pops into their head once in a while!

The same applies to your ideas.

A free tool I use is evernote which you can get at www.evernote.com.

Evernote is also available as an app too!

Happy Blogging

Thought For The Day

Before you start your project think about who is going to use  your finished product.

You can work your pants off creating your masterpiece but all this is for nothing if you havent got an end user!

Video Marketing: Where To Host Your Video.



Hosting Video on the web is a bit different to hosting websites.


You need a hosting site to host your video on.


The most popular site to host your video on is Youtube but are there 


alternatives you can use


One overlooked site you can use to host your video is Facebook.


When you upload a video to facebook you get the option to embed the code.


When you want to put your video onto another website then you can use the code given to you by Facebook.


Another site to check out is Screencast.com, they offer a paid service but you can get a basic account for free.


A popular site which is also free is Vimeo .


For businesses that want to have more control of their video and a more professional approach there are paid services such as  Viddler and Amazon S3.


To use Amazon S3 you need an amazon account but their rates are good and you only pay for what you use.


The downside is that AMAZON s3 can be a bit tricky for newcomers as you have to have a bit of techie knowledge to start with.


If you have any questions please leave a comment below.


Best Wishes
