Hi everyone, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and welcome to the dedicated channel where I talk about outsourcing and automation.

In today’s video, it’s going to be dedicated towards people who are currently using the Amazon S3 service. If you’re a user out there with Amazon S3 for storing all your video files, mp3 files and any other storage files, this is a great tip for you. If you’re looking to use that service then this is also very valuable to you too.

Basically what I’m going to be sharing with you inside this video today is teaching you how to mask and also reduce the size of that link that you get from Amazon S3. Now, commonly if you are to create an Amazon S3 bucket and also too, to upload a file onto Amazon S3, you’ll notice that you get this very, very long link. It’s basically amazons3w – the name of your bucket and also the video file.

But what I want to show you inside this video tutorial is how to mask it to turn it to something like that so people don’t even know that it’s from Amazon S3. So, this is a tip that I learned and picked up from Carl Vanderpal which was a student who attended the Outsourcing Live workshop that I run recently so before I do get into this, I just want to thank Carl for this, for recommending me on how to do this and I thought this would be a great tutorial to share with everyone because it’s something I think that people would benefit from in terms of search engine optimization links and also too, so that people don’t know that it’s from Amazon S3.

And you might have benefits in doing that because people then can’t more or less know that you’re having files stored on Amazon S3 and hacking to them or download all your videos directly from Amazon S3 which understandably I know that that’s happened with a few people who I spoken to.

All right, so you might be wondering how can I get it from this link that you see this very, very long one into this smaller link which is right here onto my blog. And I’ve already started implementing this process. My virtual assistant has gone through and started to change through all my podcast links. So if you notice right here and you right-click on it, you’ll notice that this is podcasts.tyroneshum.com/VirtualCEO_Interview.mp3. It used to be from the Amazon S3 link but it’s just masked for people can’t see. It’s a nice and simple link so that people can remember it as well, too.

All right so the first thing you need to do, there’s going to be two parts to this process. The first part to your process is to make sure that you name your bucket correctly first. So I’ll show you right now what to do.

I use a software called Bucket Explorer which was recommended to me by Gideon Shalwick a while back and this is how I access Amazon S3 buckets that I’ve got in there and you would know if you’re an Amazon S3 user, you’ve got multiple buckets which you can create to be able to store all your video files there or whatever files you want to upload there, whether it be podcasts, etc.

And, what you’ve got to do is when you create a bucket here, you’ll see that it has to be created exactly with the same name as what you will name it. You can’t call it like anything else like Tyroneshum, or Massoutsource or whatever. You have to call it as podcasts.tyroneshum.com which is exactly the name of your link that you’re going to be creating. So for example, I’ll just give you this. Basically this part here could be like podcasts and then .domainname.com. And I’ll show you what I mean right here.

Ah – if you jump over here, this is podcasts.tyroneshum.com/virtualceo so anyone who clicks on here will be taken to podcasts.tyroneshum.com bucket inside Amazon S3 and whatever’s in there are these files like this mp3 file. And, that’s the most important thing. When you first start, you have to create the bucket with exactly that name and what will happen is that whenever you get the file, you find out what the file is for example, like this one here. Amazon S3 will give you a very long name and I’ll just click on it right now for you for example the VirtualCEO_Interview that I did with Chris Ducker. By clicking on Web URL which is – which will give you the link of it, will come out with this very, very long link. So I said podcasts.tyroneshum.com which is the bucket name that you’ve got here and Amazon will add the S3 domain name right here but we can eliminate that and it’ll still work okay. So what we need is just basically this part here, eliminate that part which is the Amazon S3 and just have the filename. And that’s all you need to do and that’s how it’s come out to be like this here, as you can see.

So I’m just showing you two examples. This is the link where you get from Amazon S3 and what will happen is it’ll automatically turn into something like this which is the shorthand version. So that’s the first part – make sure that you create the right bucket name and just ensure that it’s – say for example podcasts, like your podcasts or videos, or whatever it is and then .yourdomainname.com. Once you’ve created that, then that’s set and done and you can upload any of your files up there. That’s the first part.

Second part is you need to hop into your Cpanel. Now, if you’re not using Cpanel or you’re using shortscript or wherever it is that you need to access that, I won’t go into detail because it gets really, really technical. But for general users out there who has a server and you’ve got Cpanel access, this is all you have to do.

Just log into your Cpanel on the back end and simply just scroll down to here where it says Advanced DNS Zone Editor. If you click on that, it’ll be taken straight into what we call editing the CNAMES. Now, this is a technical aspect and I highly recommend speaking with your server company to help you set this up because if you do stuff it up, I can’t help you there. And I take no responsibility on that but I will show you step by step right now on what to do so that you can follow through and see how to set it up yourself. But basically all you have to do is jump into Advanced DNS Zone Editor and simply copying the name you want to call it. So as I said I’m calling it podcasts.tyroneshum.com so I’ll call it podcasts.tyroneshum.com and just make sure that you also have a dot at the end. Because I’ve already created podcasts, I’ll just create podcast but make sure you do have a dot at the end of that as well. The TTL, just put this number here 14400, that’s all you need to do. I don’t even know what that means but 14400 is just a number I’ve just used to copy for every single thing we got on our server. Change the Type to CNAME – okay and it’ll say and ask you what the CNAME is. Now the CNAME is the Amazon S3 server so I’ll just scroll down and copy it directly from here. So I’ll just copy and I’ll scroll back up and I’ll paste it for you. So these are the details that you need: the name of your bucket that you called it; so in my instance it would be podcast.tyroneshum.com as the bucket with the dot at the end, remember that. Then, the TTL is 14400; the Type is CNAME, make sure you select CNAME; and then you copy this address which is s3.amazonaws.com and once you’ve done that, simply just click on the button that says Add Record. And what will happen is that you’ll scroll down and you’ll see that it’s been added here right now. And what will happen is basically this here will point straight to your podcast bucket. So diagramically, I’m going to show you how that looks.

All right so hopefully you can see how that’s done. I’m just going to explain it to you how it works quite simply so that way you can diagramically how it works. So this is just for example your website here and we’ll just call it domain.com – okay.

It doesn’t look like it like to have – there you go domain.com. And what you want to do is as we’ve created a bucket, we’re just going to point this over to the Amazon bucket. So I’ll just sort of draw a little bucket, I’m not the best at drawing. This is what we call the Amazon bucket.

So this is the Amazon S3 bucket and what we’ve done is basically pointed that to there so that it knows to look at Amazon S3. So whenever you put in – I’ll just change the color, put in say for example podcasts.domain.com, it will point to Amazon’s S3 bucket that we’ve created with that exact name so that exact name that you got there has to be exactly there. So that means that anytime somebody types in this domain name or that exact web address will point to that bucket there and it will access whatever files that are inside there and that way it hides from anyone, it doesn’t show to anyone exactly where this is coming from. It’s the same thing with your domain, your domain is pointing straight to there as well not completely for everything. It’s only for the ones that you setup like it could be podcasts, it could be for videos, it could be for – I don’t know, anything else that you might have like pictures, you know you might want all those setup over there. It’s up to you. But that’s basically how it works. If you can set that up for your domain or your website that’s good for both SEO – oops wrong one there. This is good for SEO, so I’ll just write that down, for SEO and also for people to remember. I can’t spell, anyway you know what I mean. So that’s the most important thing, SEO and remember and that’s the reason why I’m sharing this with you right now.

All right, that’s done. That’s pretty much it all you need to do and everytime you basically create a new file such as like this one, that mp3 file you upload onto your bucket, just make sure that you upload it and just put this domain name. So it’ll be the name of the bucket that you call it okay and just right there, put it all right here. You can’t copy this one but this is the long version. If you open up say s3.amazonaws.com it’ll still show the file but all you need to do is basically delete that and wala, you’ve got yourself a short name version pointing directly to Amazon S3.

Okay, I know this has been a little bit of a challenging tutorial for people. I know it’s – it’s little bit more technical but for the technical people out there who want to do this for the blog and to make it more optimized, then this is a great little tip that you can do.

And I love to hear your feedback on it if it’s worked for you. I’m sure it will because it’s worked for me, I’ve already done it on my blog. I love to see how this can also benefit for you.

Any comments, or any questions that you have, feel free to leave it down below on my blog. I’d love to hear from you and be able to help you and assist you with that if you do get stuck okay. Well, my name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and thanks so much for watching this video and I’ll see you next time. Bye for now.

Hi! It’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and welcome to the dedicated channel where I help you with outsourcing, automation and lifestyle business design. In today’s video, I want to share with you something recently that I’ve implemented in my business as a little tip and also something that will streamline things.

In today’s video, I’m going to talk about using an audio recognition software to be able to send tasks off to your virtual assistants or to your virtual staff. Now, if you’re like me, I like to and prefer to actually talk into microphone or get in front of camera to present something or to do a screen capture. And, the reason behind that is because firstly I can communicate a lot better using my voice and also communicate a lot better using my voice and also communicate a lot better using screen captures and also using video to be able to present my body expressions and exactly what I want to be coming across. Whereas if I type things in, I have a very big tendency to sort of just stand there and just go blank.

It’s just me. I don’t know why but I think naturally, I’m a very vocal person but also too, at the same time a person who can just get in front of the camera and just talk. So I guess you can say I’m a talkative person more than a typing or type of person who likes to write. I’ll be honest with you, I flunked English back in high school. So which is what I picked up recently.

I was actually going through my project management system and I’m seeing myself, hmm I spend a lot of time thinking through how to setup the systems and the processes and streamline them but I was spending a little bit too much time that I wanted to, to actually type off seven tasks and get documents setup inside my project management system. So I thought why not go out and get a copy of audio dictation software and very popular one that’s out there is called Dragon Dictate so I bought one for Dragon Dictate for my Mac, installed it, set it up and within probably about half an hour or so I got myself already dictating to the computer. And it’s amazing. I just can’t believe the amount of quality and the amount of accuracy it just has.

I was blown away because in the past when I’ve tried this software before, it just didn’t work for me. So surprisingly right now I’m using it and everything that I’m doing right now to opening applications, to telling exactly what I want to be done in a particular project to all the way getting a book written. In actual fact, I’m actually in the process of putting a book together. I’m actually using this dictate software. And all I have to do is get my microphone, stand it and talk, sit there and just start talking to it. And what will happen is that the computer will already recognize my voice and then start typing already for me. So therefore I could go to a point or get to a point where I can eliminate the keyboard and also eliminate my usages of sitting down and typing all the time.

Plus, the benefit of this for me because I also have some back problems as well just long term back problems sitting at the computer for long period of time. I’m not very good with typing at the computer so therefore I’m using this solution to be able to counteract that. And I could actually just walk around, dictate something and then just put it into computer and it’ll automatically change it back into words for me. So that way I can save my time having to get it typed up in the future.

So that was a little tip. The tip is to be able to use a software called Dragon Dictate and dictate all your work into the system, have it automatically all typed up and then send it off to your virtual assistant or virtual worker. And one, that will save a lot time and two, you can actually get through things a lot faster as well because you don’t have to sit there and type. You just dictate it and it does it all for you.

So hopefully that tip has given you some insight on how I go about doing this and I am looking to develop something down the track to be able make this even further faster and stronger so I’ll keep you informed on what’s going on there.

All right if you have any future or further comments or questions or any feedback on this one, anything that you want to share with me, how you’ll go about doing this. I love you to leave it right down below in the comment section and yeah, let’s talk about it too.

So thank you very, very much for watching today. My name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and I’ll see you inside the next video. Bye for now.

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and welcome to the dedicated channel that helps you with outsourcing, automation and lifestyle business design. In today’s tutorial, I want to talk about how to outsource blogging? It’s a very, very big topic out there and a lot of people do love blogging and a lot of people know that it’s a really, really powerful way to make money as well, too.

So I wanted to share with you how I go about a lot of my blog mostly, administration type of things. Obviously for me, I am in front of the camera right now, you can see and I’m doing a video blog right now. But the thing is, there’s a lot that goes on behind from getting this video up onto the Internet so that it’s published on my blog and marketing and getting onto your email inbox or wherever you’re seeing this video. And, I want to share with you how powerful it is once you’ve got these systems setup because it can leverage and also expand your time to be able to do a lot more things.

Say for example right now, I’m recording a 5-minute video right now probably less than an hour or even more than that, and once I’ve done that all I have to do is hook it up to my computer, download these files and let the rest be automated or all outsourced by my virtual assistant and she’ll take it from there step by step onto getting online for me. So imagine taking say usually an hour to get one blog post onto the Internet, it’ll only take me 5 to 10 minutes or so and how powerful is that? I actually get back a lot more time. So enough of me sharing with you about what happens there and how long it takes. I just want to give you the tips on how that works.

What I do is once I finish recording, I download this file into the computer, and once it’s downloaded into the computer I have it automatically uploaded onto the Internet and I send a little ticket which is via my project management system to my virtual assistant and say to them look, can you please take this file and upload it onto the Internet and go through and transcribe it for me. And once it’s transcribed, put it all on the blog and publish it and distribute it all throughout the Internet. And that’s basically how simple it is and how simple it is to do though it does take time because it is all a very administrative backend type of thing to do. So the most powerful thing that I can recommend to do is to firstly find yourself a virtual assistant and train them on how to do that.

I myself have created probably about a 5-step process in one video showing my virtual assistant how to take this video and put it up onto my blog and publish it the way I wanted it to be published. That way, she can also filter all those things for me and have it all setup for me.

The other thing is apart from getting it published and put onto the blog, I obviously get a lot of comments on my blog and someone’s going to monitor and manage those. And I let my virtual assistant do that as well, too. She goes through, approves the comments and also makes sure there’s no spam or any verbal abuse on my blog so therefore she cuts them all out for me too. And, I already got training videos in place for her.

So you can imagine the power of actually getting those things done and having it all outsourced for you and speeding up your time for blogging. If you’re a blogger out there that likes to type in and getting them online, that’s cool. I got absolute no problem with that. But, imagine if you’ve typed up your little document and say you write 5 or 6 or 7 of them and you’ve typed them all up, all you have to do is send them over to your virtual assistant in a document format and get them to format it all for you. And that saves you a lot of time as well, too.

Yeah, so that’s how you can really outsourcing blogging. I think one last thing I just wanted to mention for people who are wanting to setup a blog and to get a nice design and set it up really nice to get it out there so people can come and read your blog, I highly highly recommend you get someone to setup the technical aspects e.g. such as designing the website, setting up all the plugins, all those kind of things. Just outsource all that work because it really, really saves you a lot of time. Not having to spend it yourself because really, you’re not making any money from setting up the blog or developing a blog or designing a blog. Your most powerful forms of actually making income from the blog is really writing really good content, interacting with your community members, and potentially getting them onto a newsletter and selling or offering products to them.

And that’s I think where if you’re going to focus on becoming a successful blogger, you really, really need to outsource all these adminstrative type of tasks which people don’t see behind the scenes. All they see is when they get to the blog is what’s this content here which is what you’re watching right now on my video. And if you’re seeing this content then that’s great that’s all that people really care about. They don’t care about how you get it up onto it. All they care is, is the content good or if it’s not good at all and usually you’ll get feedback from that comments.

All right so I hope that you can see the power of outsourcing your blogging and you may think yeah, I can’t really quite afford it at this point in time but if it’s going to only cost you a dollar or $2 an hour, and you get few hours worth of work from someone, it’s not that much. And it would save you so much more time and also the hassle of having to do it yourself and you can focus on creating really, really good content. And that’s how a lot of successful bloggers do it out there.

All right hopefully you’ve enjoyed this little tip I’ve given you about outsourcing blogging. Any of your comments, or feedback I love to hear from you so just leave them right down below. If you like to tweet about this or put on FaceBook, do so now it’ll be great. And, I’d love to see you back here on the next video that I’ll be having as well. So my name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Have a great day and I’ll see you next time. Bye for now!

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Today I want to share with you a specific tutorial on how to be able to create those little small picture inside those screenshots that I do, all those screen captures that I do.

I have to tell you, there have been so many people asking me and you maybe one of them that have asked me. I said look, I’ll create a tutorial on how to do that. I’ll be honest with you, it’s so, so easy to do it’s not funny so I thought all right, to clear it up to help you really, really understand how to do it, all you really need is two things. I thought I have to share it with you right now.

First thing is you need a computer, and second thing you need a software, piece of software depending on what type of computer you have. But I can only tell you how to do it in Mac because that’s what I use. I’ve tried it in Camtasia but it doesn’t seem to work on PC very well which is a version of PC. So today’s tutorial is only, only going to be specifically how to create a picture in those screen capture videos that I do with my face at the bottom of it for Mac users and a particular software called Screenflow. So those are the things you need, you need a Mac computer and you need a software called Screenflow and that’s all you need to do to be able to record.

And, obviously to record sound and video, you need a video camera which is built-in and also your microphone which is also built-in as well, simple as that. So let me hop over onto my computer right now and I’ll show you exactly step by step how to do it. Okay, it’ll only take a few minutes, I’ll see you soon.

All right, I’m inside my computer right now. The thing that you need is the software called Screenflow which is right here. And, all you have to do is simply click on File, click on New Recording and what will happen is that it’ll bring up basically this little screen right here. And, you can see my little video and also the recording that’s going on which is happening right now. Once you’ve got that working, then you’ll just have to press the Record button and it’ll start to capture what we’re doing right now. And, what I find is that it’ll give you probably 3 seconds and the camera will load up and also will start to record in Screenflow.

So right now I’m facing the camera and talking directly to the camera and I’m talking as I only talk to the webcam and I’m recording my face while I could be doing a screenshot showing you how to do this, how to do that, how to do that. It’s that easy. And then once you finish all that, all you have to do is simply click two keys, three keys I should say it’s Option key Shift key and 2. And…let’s have a look. Wolah, there you go.

So as you can see I’ve got my little thing that’s been recorded there and I can move this anywhere I want — I can shrink it, I can enlarge it, I can do whatever I want to do. That’s how easy it is to record it, I can even make it in full screen if I wanted to. So depending on what the effect you want to achieve, and what you want to do, that’s all you have to do. And, that’s how easy it is to use in Screenflow. So I hope that’s really helped you there. I’m going to switch back over to the Screenflow software right now and we’ll finish off.

And, you can use this software to do any screen capture, you can do any facial capture that you want to do just how I’ve been doing. This is what we call the Picture-In screen capture and that way I can really convey what I’m doing, talking to people and still being on the screen as well.

If do have any further questions and you’re still not sure how to implement this, just shoot me an email or leave a comment below and what I’ll do is I’ll try to find some other tutorials showing you how to do this. But it should be pretty self-explanatory now, all you need to do is get a piece of software and if you do have it just play around with it and just make sure you’re using it in either iMac or Macbook Pro.

All right, love to hear any more comments if you got any other ideas or any other good software that are better than Screenflow, love you to share as well because I love to learn what’s good out there and I’m always looking for good pieces of tools for screen capture stuff. Well, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com, I’ll see you in the next video and have a great day. Bye for now!

Hi it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Today, I want to share with you what I did over the weekend. Over the weekend, I attended a little seminar held by Dale Beaumont called Profile Profits and Dale Baeumont is a very, very successful…he’s one of the best-selling authors all across Australia within the business category section for his Secrets Exposed series. And his Secrets Exposed series have just traveled across the world particularly in Australia where he’s interviewed numerous successful experts from property, all the way to male entrepreneurs, to female entrepreneurs, anything that you can think of.

And, from those books a lot of people have been inspired to take their own journey to be successful in whatever they do. So what I wanted to learn from Dale, the reason why I attended this event on the weekend was to learn how he was able to market his books and to be able to get his profile up there very, very quickly. If you don’t know Dale, you don’t know his little story, you should probably hop onto his site at DaleBeaumont.com.au and he will share with you everything inside there. But, just a very short story is that Dale used a lot of public…or press releases and also publicity to be able to get a lot of free marketing you can per se to get his book out in the market and also generate a lot of sales.

So in the whole seminar that day, he shared with us how he did that and also how he created a best-selling book as well. So in today’s video, I want to share with you the three top things that I learnt just from going to the seminar and what things I’m going to take away as well and implement into my business. Potentially if you’re looking to do a best-selling book, you can do this as well. Okay so the three top things that I learnt from the seminar was, the first thing was to actually to think about what type of market you’re going to be targeting in and you want to write a book that’s going to be targeting to a particular market.

I see a lot of people just go in there and potentially write a book to be able to get a profile and become an author but they don’t realize what kind of market they’re targeting at and Dale went quite a lot in detail about how to go about researching and looking online. And, a lot of people nowadays don’t realize the power of using just simple Google to be able to generate some results and get a survey done. What Dale talked about was to get a ad say through Google Adwords. Get people click on that ad and jump over to a survey landing page and through that survey landing page, ask them exactly what they want, what they want to learn about. And that’s how he was able to generate a lot of results basically from the market finding out what the market wanted and put this other book together. So that’s something that I learnt really, really it’s important to survey your market.

And I know I’ve done that for my program, for MassOutsource.com and successfully been able to coach and train the students because my students want to learn those things. So I basically gave them all the information, I have my brain and just tapped it inside the Mass Outsource Mastermind course, so that’s the first point I learnt from that.

The second point is if you want to be a best-selling author, you don’t want to just release one book, we’re talking about releasing series of books and the most important thing about releasing series of books is that people, once they read your first book, maybe interested in buying another book, but it’s not about that but it’s about continuity of actually the books. That’s the stumbling block for me so I’m not perfect. So he talked about dumping down on piece of paper say five different books that you’re going to create. Potentially 5 books to start off with because you’re going to think about writing a series of books. And the importance to doing that is not many people are able to think about writing 300-400 page book in one time and you don’t want to overwhelm the person reading the book. Apparently, the most successful ones, the most successful books were really, really short ones they go for about 40 to 60 pages. If you’ve heard of The 1-Minute Manager, Who Moved My Cheese?, all written by Spencer Johnson they’re very, very successful books as they’re very short but there are also a series of books as well. So I thought series of books and Dale’s written 15 of these so you can obviously see why he’s successful.

Then the last and final point that I learnt in my…from my whole time being there was to look at the printing process or the publishing process. He’s talked about publishing it yourself instead of getting a…book company to be able to publish it for you. And, it’s not just because of the cost wise but also too you have a lot more control and also you can obviously get a lot more profit margin. Say for example instead of receiving say 90% of the profits when you publish the book yourself, you may only receive about 10-30% of the profits and it’s a substantial margin when you’re looking at turning over quite a number of books.

Dale has successfully sold over 200,000 of his books across the market. So you can imagine if you had sold 200,000 of these books to about $30 each, you can imagine what the profit margin would be compared to say doing and getting someone else to print the books for you.

So I think those are the three things that I learned over a whole day and I really, really had a great time with Dale. I went up and have a chat with him as well, and shook his hand and also just introduced myself. And, Dale if you’re watching you’re watching this as well, I hope that we can catch up as well for another video and do something else together too.

It was really good and I hope that you’ve taken some points away. If you want to be a best-selling author, it’s very, very important to follow some of the steps that Dale has. You can check out how he does it as well at GetPublishedTV.com and Dale talks quite a lot detail about how to get a book on scratch to becoming a best-selling book.

Potentially down the track, I’m looking to do something like that just to increase my profile and to also get exposure because by having a book out there, it can also be a lead generator for your backend stuff which will talk about a lot on this side as well.

All right, I hope you’ve enjoyed this and I just wanted to share what we did over the weekend and what I learnt as well from the seminar, awesome, awesome seminar and I hope that you’ve picked up something too. Any feedback, any comments, just feel free to leave it just right down below and I love to hear from what your thoughts are and what things you can also share with me as well. Well, that’s it for today, my name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and see you in the next video. Bye for now.

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video tutorial, I’m going to be answering a question from one of my subscribers and they ask me what is the best teleconferencing service or webinar service that I use.

Now, there are two of them that I recommend to use. The first one that I recommend is Calliflower and the second one is GoToWebinar. I’ll show you in this video inside exactly the two differences or the main differences between both of them.

So let’s firstly jump over to Calliflower right here. You’ll see Calliflower, it’s quite easy to spell. It’s Calliflower.com. Calliflower, I specifically use it just for teleconferencing services. It’s like as though I have a hall meeting room or lecture room where I can just hear the audio and I can hear people raise their hand and also speak to me in the teleconferencing service. I use this specifically for all the members inside my mastermind group so if I have say 50 people who are interested in attending the call and have questions to ask me, they are able to log in to the service for free using Skype and basically be able to raise their hand and ask me any question they want or be able to convert with me in a conversation.

Now, this does cost a little bit of money per month. It’s about $50 per month to be able to use this software or this tool online but it is well, well worth it because you can host up to I think 200 people inside teleconference all at one time. The beauty about this is that you can manage everyone all inside the control panel. So let me just log in just to show you what it looks like in the sample of how my solution works.

All right so if you have a look inside Calliflower, what you’ll find is that this is my Call Dashboard and whenever a meeting starts, there’s a scheduled meeting with the scheduled time. When you scroll down to the bottom here, what you’ll see is there are confirmed participants and if you come down to here where it says “Participants on the call”, when we’re on the live call, I’ll be able to see participants participating in the call. Usually, at the top of each participant’s name, it has the call button and also raise hand button. If the person has raised a hand, I’ll usually mute their line and they’ll be able to speak to me.

This is how a teleconferencing service works within my teleconferencing area and this is really powerful when you’re holding a teleconference between multiple people because people are going to be able to listen to you ]at the same time and communicate with you while you’re talking to and answering questions to your students. So that’s the software and the tool that I use to do and hold my teleconferencing services which is Calliflower.

The next one that I want to show you is GoToWebinar. GoToWebinar is slightly different to a teleconferencing service. The powerful thing about this particular tool is that it allows you to have same again, hundreds of people to be able to log in at the same time. But instead of just being in audio, you’ll actually see a visual presentation. What you could do is to be able to capture what you’re currently doing in a presentation way and be able to broadcast it out to numerous people who are on the webinar and be able to see what’s going on.

Just imagine or picture yourself in a lecture hall within a University kind of setting and you’ve got a one board or one slideshow presentation at the beginning and you’ve got someone running through that presentation and you’ll hear them talk about through their notes and presenting as well. GoToWebinar is all like that and it’s just all online. Same thing again, it doesn’t cost a little bit money to buy this but once you have this setup, this GoToWebinar is very, very powerful and it allows you to record everything that you do. Furthermore, if you’re like me as online Internet marketer, once you recorded these, you can put these webinars into product which you can sell later on down the track.

Sometimes you can sell these products anywhere between $97 up to $200, $300 per product as long as you have the right material and it’s got the right wordings.

So this is the next software that I use and it’s very, very powerful. Once again, it’s something that would be able to create and generate nice presentations for you online inside the Internet web-based setting.

All right, those are the two pieces of software that I recommend to use and this is in answer to a question from one of my subscribers and I hope that it helped you to give you a clear idea of how to go about holding teleconferences or webinars online. In my opinion, these are one of the cheapest or the most affordable solutions online for teleconferences. All right, if you have any feedback or any questions or comments, simply leave them down below. I love you to share this on Twitter and also FaceBook as well. If you can do that right now, that’d be great. Hopefully, if you’ve got further questions, I’ll be able to answer them in the next few videos.

So stay tuned for the next tools that I’ll be sharing with you as well. Well, that’s it for today. My name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Have a great day and I’ll catch you in the next video.

Hi it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video, I’m going to be sharing with you some really awesome tips and I’m very excited to share these with you because this is the background or the backbone of my success for the blog and everything else that you’ve seen from the front-end as well.

So in this video, I’m going to be sharing with you some how-to tips on how to create video, how to generate traffic from videos and also some places where you can get traffic to convert them back over into subscribers onto your database. I know there’s going to be a lot in here but I’m just going to give some really, really key points in this video so that you can take that away, implement and take some action.

One last thing as well just to mention is at the end of this video, remember to also stay tune to see the report that I’m going to be showing you, a 90-page report that has been released by my good friend Gideon Shalwick. In that report, there are 90 pages of really step by step blueprint of how to create videos, generate traffic, and so forth. Everything that I’ve learned is directly from Gideon. You’ll be able to take all that information away and implement it. It’s all for free as well so make sure at the end of this video, check that out.

All right, let’s get started. The first thing is that the way I go about generating videos or how to create videos is actually very, very simple. You don’t need anything that’s too fancy. Currently, as I’m talking to you right now, I’m just using my Macbook Pro and my trusty little microphone here. I know you can see that this is an expensive microphone here, it looks expensive. It’s just a Rode Podcaster, it’s a little bit over $200 to buy brand new but you don’t need to go and spend that much money to get really high quality microphone. Just a simple microphone, like a Logitech small one that’s probably about 40bucks or so, you can probably get away with that and be able to record some really, really simple and easy videos which you can just upload onto YouTube.

It’s not about how the screen looks or anything like that; what’s more important is the quality of your content. Just like me right now, I’m talking to you on this video and just presenting to you just who I am currently in my little study room in front of my Macbook Pro and I’ve just got a microphone plugged straight into it. So it’s actually not that hard to create videos. You don’t have to make it look as though it’s really fancy, astonishing or anything like that. Sometimes you do see me in front of a camera using my Flip Mino which is right over here. This little Flip Mino is only about couple hundred dollars and you probably have seen in my previous videos, I’ve listed out the equipment that I use. But this stuff doesn’t cost much at all. For around about no more than $400, and your trusty laptop, you can get yourself some really, really high quality definition videos online.

So I just thought I can give you a quick summary of what you can use and what you can do to create some quick videos. To top that off, there are some free softwares which you can also use as well. And, one that I’ve used in the past is called Screenr.com. That’s a free screen capture software that allows you to capture five minutes worth of screen capture. So right now, what I’m doing is showing you if you have a look at my blog, it’s my little mouse pointing to everything clicking on the blog, this is just a screen capture showing you how to do whatever I’m doing right now. You can do it as well, it’s so easy to do and you can have a picture on, on the screen like I’m doing right now and post it up as a video. A lot of people like that and the fact is that they can see exactly what you’re doing on the tutorial.

So that’s the first key point, it’s how to create a video simple, fast and easy. This is something that you can do right now. It takes five minutes or so to get all that stuff all setup and once you’ve got that all setup, you’re up and running.

All right, the second point I just want to share with you is once you’ve got your video posted onto YouTube, I’ll show YouTube right now, you can actually comment on other people’s YouTube channels and what you want to do is if you want to do is if generate traffic from those channels, all you have to do is hop on their channels and leave a comment saying how good their video is, saying what you can contribute back to them and write something of value. Hopefully, when people look through your comments and read that as some valuable comment and you’re contributing back to the community, they’ll come and visit your channel and also see what you’re doing. So that’s a very simple tip that you can do to be able to be able to create and generate traffic from other people’s blogs.

The third tip that I want to share with you is capturing those leads. Now, there’s no point getting them come and watch your video and hopefully after watching your video, they’ll know who you are. What you want to do is to start building relationships with these people because once you’ve created these videos, you want them to be able to see and come back and be part of your newsletter, subscribe to your channel or what not. What you want to do is capture them to go straight to your blog. What you’ll notice right here, as you can see there’s a http://www.tyroneshum.com. A lot of people fail to put this inside their description and what I usually do is at the beginning of every single description I put in, I put my blog address. So if people want to find out more about me, they’ll click on that and it’ll be taken straight to my blog. And, what you’ll find is that people when they first see your blog, you’ll have a pop-up which asks them to subscribe to your channel or subscribe to your newsletter. That’s a really, really powerful way to be able to capture your list of subscribers.

I currently use Aweber to do this and I highly, highly recommend if you’re building a blog and you’re building up a video channel with what can you see there, build it up with Aweber. Aweber really, really helps you to be able to track up and keep track of who’s on the database. So that’s tip number three. It’s to make sure that you encourage them to subscribe onto your channel and to subscribe also to your newsletter as well.

All right, and then the final tip that I want to share with you, this tip is very important. It’s all about consistency and making sure that you consistently follow this through. You’ll notice that I consistenly post atleast every second day a new video online. The more videos that you have online on your YouTube channel, the more chances of having more traffic coming back to your video channel. It’s crucial by doing this because the more people will see it, obviously the more people will follow you. So consistently atleast a minimum once a week, post a new video onto your channel or post it onto YouTube. That way, you’re continuing to generate traffic and ongoing traffic to your blog and to any of your videos and that’s a very, very powerful tip that I can recommend to do.

All right, I hope you’ve enjoyed all these tips that I’ve given you. These are very powerful tips and I highly, highly recommend that if you do get a chance to implement this, take action right now. Now, one thing before you do go as I said at the beginning, recently Gideon Shalwick has created a brand new report called Rapid Video Blogging and it’s really, really powerful strategy which I’ve implemented already in my business. I’ve already been doing this for many, many months and that’s because I’m really good friends and close friends with Gideon and he asked me to give at a go. So I said, “All right, I’ll give it a try.” And I’ve achieved astounding results. So I’m proof that it does work.

But, if you want to be able to achieve all these, I highly recommend checking out his report which is a full 90-page of really, really good content and if you know Gideon, he just doesn’t hold anything back.

What you’ll do is just click on the link right below here and it’ll be able to take you straight to his blog, his Rapid Video Blogging site, and you’ll be able to download his free report. That free report is a step by step blueprint of how to create videos, how to market and promote them and how to be able to generate those traffic and convert them into subscribers. Then, if you’re running it as a business, it can perfectly convert them into cash or dollars. So it’s got everything in there and I highly, highly recommend checking it out. So the links are just right below there and you can click on it right now.

All right, I’m going to finish it right now. If you have any more questions, or comments or feedback that you want to leave, just feel free to leave them right below here. I love to hear how you go with your journey as well and if once you’ve read the report, love you to leave the feedback as well. I’ll be able to help you answering your questions because I’ve been through this and I know exactly what Gideon teaches. I can definitely attribute to be able to say how much I know and also help you with that as well.

Oh, one last thing to mention is you’ll see a little bit about me inside the report so don’t miss out on checking that at too. All right, I’ll take to you soon. Have a great day everyone and enjoy the report. Bye for now.

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. This is part two of showing you best and the most affordable and cheap hosting solutions for videos. In the previous video, I’ve showed you the free solutions or the solutions which doesn’t cost you anything. In today’s video, I want to show you all the solutions that I currently use in my business to host it which cost just a little bit money. They’re very cheap as well to be able to run in service.

The reason why you might consider hosting videos and pay for hosting videos is it’s private membership site video information which you don’t want to share with the public or maybe it’s information that you don’t want to be able to disclose via the videos, free video sites such as YouTube and so forth. The reason why I got some of these is because I host very long interviews with bloggers and successful entrepreneurs and so forth and I usually can’t fit all those onto the free service.

Okay, so have a look at Amazon Web Service which is right here. What it’s called is the Amazon S3, you can see it here on this website and it’s basically a service which allows you to host hundreds and hundreds of gigs of data or anything that you really want and what we use the service particularly for is just to host videos and audios for the blog. If you’ve been passed my blog and you’ve seen on my blog there’s an area which you can just click on that says “Download MP3″. You see here on my blog it says here “Download the MP3″.

These mp3s are all hosted on the Amazon S3 service and you can click on this anytime. You’ll see that whenever you click on that link, it’ll take you straight to the Amazon S3 server which is where all the videos are hosted and all the mp3s. It’s great for those kind of things because a lot of services out there just don’t allow you to host large files. All right, jumping back into Amazon S3 web services, I just want to show you quick brief pricing of how much it costs. It’s very, very cheap in my experience just from using this because the fact is that they really are giving you so much space to store a lot of space for like 15cents per gigabyte.

A gigabyte is a thousand megs. On average my…for example my mp3s are probably around about 30 to 40megs at most, that’s max. I can imagine, I can probably be able to store up to 300 mp3s before I have to pay 15cents for the mp3s so that’s how cheap it is. This is what it is here, in US standard, 15cents per gig and if you get up to 15 terabytes, it’s 10cents per gigabyte after that and this is on a monthly basis. So, you can imagine I haven’t paid more than probably about 3 to 4bucks per month just to be able to have all this additional service and hosting and it’s really, really do cheap. This is something that I highly recommend if you want a hosting solution for videos and also for audios as well.

One other thing to mention as well, I found that Amazon web services just to use in general isn’t very easy to use because it’s been designed for programmers and developers but there’s a really neat software that acts like a FTP client called Amazon S3 client bucket which you can download here called Bucket Explorer or the S3 Amazon Bucket Explorer. It does cost a little bit money to buy this but I think it’s not that expensive at all. I’ll just click on it and I’ll show you how much it costs. I bought this a while ago so I don’t quite remember how much it is. There you go, $50 once-off. So once you buy that, you can use this and it acts like a FTP server which allows you to upload all your files directly onto Amazon S3 and you pretty much just run it as though you’re using like FTP server.

So yeah, I highly recommend this one, Bucket Explorer to use with Amazon S3. The next thing I want to show you is…as I’ve showed you previously TubeMogul it’s a free service that allows you to distribute videos all across the Internet, to multiple websites and multiple video services. I currently use Traffic Geyser to also distribute not just only videos but also my podcasts, social bookmarks and also articles throughout the website, throughout the web. This is really a good piece of tool if you can afford to use it. It is $97 per month but it’s really, really powerful once you see how it’s used. So basically just follow the link that I’ve provided below here and you should be able to have access to the Traffic Geyser if you want to use it.

But I’ll just want to show you a quick demo if you just jump into my Traffic Geyser account of what potentially websites you can distribute at to. It goes out to hundreds and hundreds of websites. So let’s have a look here. For example, these are all the video websites that you can see that it goes out to. So there are 20 video websites that Traffic Geyser automatically distributes to once you distribute it once or upload it once to Traffic Geyser. Not only that, you also get podcast sites which there are seven of them, it will also send it out to blog sites for you, social bookmarking sites for you, also article sites for you and yeah, pretty much everything that you see there. It’s very, very powerful once you set all these up. It allows you to do quite a lot of things.

But the most important part as I mentioned previously in the first video if you saw that, is that it allows you to get lots and lots of backlinks and it allows you to move up to search engines very, very quickly as well. That’s how I successfully…everytime I create my videos, I automatically have it submitted by my virtual assistants to Traffic Geyser and send out to all those different websites out there allowing me to create lots of backlinks. At the moment, I’ve got probably tens and thousands of backlinks coming back to Tyroneshum.com which allows me to rank really well in certain areas of my videos.

So that’s the last thing that I recommend if you’re looking to spend a little bit money to host and get some affordable hosting services out here. These things are very, very powerful and these are the tools that I currently use to host all my videos on my website or on my blog and also to distribute it across the Internet. All right, that’s it for this video today, if you have any further questions, any comments or like to share this on FaceBook and to Tweet it, feel free to do so.

I’d love to hear some of your feedback as well, feel free just to leave your comments down below and I hope to see you soon. It’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com today and have a great day and we’ll catch you in the next video. Bye for now.

Hi there, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video tutorial, I want to show you some affordable and cheap hosting services that you can use to host all your videos and this was a question that was asked by one of my subscribers on my blog. What I wanted to share with you today is in two different parts.

The first part I’m going to share with you is a cheap solution or free solution I should say where you can host all your videos for free and then the second part, I’m going to show you an affordable, cheap hosting solution which will cost you no more than 15 cents a gigabyte of video which I’ll show you in the next part of the video.

So the first thing I want to show you are the video sites that I currently use to host all my videos for the blog. So let’s hop onto the first one that I want to show you here. The first one that you can see right here is YouTube and YouTube is a service that I use very, very highly to post all my videos up to 10 minutes long. It’s a free service and as long as you abide by their terms and conditions, you can post literally anything that you want.

You can easily dominate your niche inside YouTube. What I found is YouTube has over millions and millions of people coming through so it’s a very highly searched video site and you can easily dominate with a lot of traffic in general, traffic back to your blog or subscribers or wherever you want to drive traffic so I highly recommend using YouTube. The second one that I recommend as well is Viddler. Viddler is an excellent site as well. It’s a great site for people who need to post more than 10 minutes in their videos. YouTube has a restriction of 10 minutes unless you’re a partner with YouTube and a lot of people find it very difficult to be able to get the partnership agreement applied or sent and setup with YouTube. So if you want to post for videos that are longer than 10 minutes long, Viddler is a great place to be able to set that up and you can use it to do pretty much the same thing on what you do with YouTube.

I usually post all my video interviews here or anything that requires me to explain something that’s quite a lot more detail that requires more than 10 minutes. All right to speed it up and to get your video out into market much quicker, and distribute it across numerous sites, I recommend free service called TubeMogul. What TubeMogul allows you to do is to post to YouTube, Blip.tv, Metacafe, all those video sites that are out there and it allows you to post it out to numerous networks giving you lots of backlinks back to your website.

I’ll show you right now how it works on my system because I’m pretty sure a lot of you are probably out there thinking okay, if I post on YouTube, how do I get more backlinks back to my blog? And, you can do this with TubeMogul by getting a few backlinks from different multiple websites. So let’s just jump in to TubeMogul and I’ll show you my Uploads area. Just a little tip here just to share with you at the moment is that I have a lot of videos produced on the backend and I don’t usually distribute them until the day that comes to broadcasting or publishing on the blog. But there’s a really neat trick inside TubeMogul, it’s that you can upload as many videos as you want but just don’t publish them. Say for example, as I’ve mentioned previously, I usually schedule all my video posts out probably around about the beginning of the month. So I might create 10 videos for the month and I have them uploaded onto TubeMogul but they don’t get distributed or published online until the day that comes. It allows you to store your videos on there and what I get my virtual assistants to do is when the day does come out to distribute, I get them to launch it and send it off to the website then post onto the blog automatically for me. So that way, I’ve fast tracked all my videos and at the same I’ve streamlined my systems here so that I can free up my time to do other things. Let’s just hop in here, the most recent video that I’ve done is How To Get More Time Back Using These Productivity Tools. So I’ll click on this just to show you what I mean. All right, as you can see right here, I’ve got five services that I post up my videos to: YouTube, DailyMotion, Yahoo, Metacafe and Blip.tv and these five services allow me just to automatically post it out to those video sites which are all free to do.

But the beauty of doing this is that you post one video up to TubeMogul and it distributes to five multiple sites. Also, the great thing is if you click on More Sites here, you can post to all these other video sites which are all free as well. So if you have all the usernames setup and so forth, you can post to all these video sites for free which is really powerful because what will happen is that your content will get distributed across multiple video sites. Furthermore, allowing incurring in more backlinks into your own video and increasing your search engine ranking as well.

So this is a powerful way to be able to increase your video distribution and also upload and host your videos for free all online. I hope that sharing this with you will give you an idea on how I go about using these free services to post onto my blog. All these are all streamlined to setup on my system for my virtual assistants to complete for me. In my next video, I’ll be showing you exactly what hosting sites that are quite affordable and also cheap to use and you can check those out once I show you in the next video because I’m pretty sure if you have some membership sites or have any videos that you don’t want to post out to the public, these would be very, very good for you to use.

All right, that’s it for this video today. Any feedback, any comments, just leave back down on the blog here. Love you to post this onto FaceBook or Twitter and share with other people out there. If you’ve got any questions, just feel free to send them through and ask me as well. It’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and I’ll talk to you soon in the next video.

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s tutorial, I want to share with you the payment method that I currently use to pay virtual assistants or virtual staff. A question that I’ve been asked regularly is how come you don’t use Xoom anymore? And, the reason why is because Xoom is only restricted now to U.S. and I used to use Xoom because its fees are lower than Paypal but because has been restricted and I’m in Australia, and no doubt there are many people outside the States outsourcing to the Philippines, you need to find another method.

Yes, Paypal is a little bit more expensive but I found a quite good way to be able to pay at a lower rate in comparison to using Xoom. So what I’m going to be showing right now is how I use what we call the Mass Payment system in Paypal — not a normal way but Mass Payment system in Paypal. And, this method actually reduces your fees. It does require you to submit a text file and also do some extra little bit of clicking through but it will save you on the fees in comparison to paying $4 US or so per transaction, you might be paying up to a dollar at most. So it’s about four times less. All right, let’s just jump over and I’ll show you how to set it up inside your system.

Firstly, what I suggest you do is log in to your Paypal account by just simply going to Paypal.com. So I’m logged in right now. Once you’ve logged in, I’ll usually go to the “Send Money” to be able to send money to my virtual assistant and I usually do this on a monthly basis. Okay, so if you want to be able to send money, this is the normal way to do it. You just type in To: whoever, and you type in your amounts here and you can click Services, and click Continue right down here. That way, usually either your virtual assistant or your virtual staff will get charged a fee of $4 per transaction and also you probably might get charged as well depending on what country you’re in. Alternatively, I use this method called Make a Mass Payment and I’ve just clicked on it. To make a Mass Payment, this is what you do.

You can send up to 5,000 payments at once. Say you got 10 virtual staff in your company, you can actually post it all inside this little text file that I’ll show you how to create. Then, upload it once and you’ll do all the payments all at once. So reading it over here, it says here you can upload a payment pal on this page and you meet your information using the APIs. Those are two methods. What I recommend you do is using a payment file and it’s just a simple text file or CSV file. All right, all you have to do is simply select your file by clicking “Upload here” and look for your file. So I’ve uploaded a file called MassPayment.txt and you want to solve the payment receipts identified by the email address, and then in your email subject you can type something in like “This is your transaction” or “Your invoice payment” and you can type your receipt. I usually ignore those fields. The most important thing is to process your payment.

Once you’ve done that, just simply hit the Review button and what will happen is it will take you through the payment process. It’ll automatically pay to your virtual assistant the amounts that they require. So that’s how you setup the Mass Payment. What I’ll show you next is how to setup the text files that you’ve uploaded. We’ll go to the text file now. As you can see here, this is the MassPayment.txt file and all of these is you just have to type in three simple fields. The first field is the email address that you’re going to be sending the payment to, it’s the Paypal email. It could be anything, test@yahoo.com, or the name@yahoo.com then the amount without dollar sign or any currency sign, so 325.31 then USD or whatever payment currency it is. In between here, these are all tabs. If you click on Tab key, these are all tabs. Once you’ve done that, that’s the first payment that I want to make to the person. You can hit Entry button and then it will create a new line for you and it will do exactly the same thing. You can pay up to many, many different currencies that are available inside Paypal. If you do it in this method, you’ll save quite a lot of money on your transaction fees.

So this is just a little tip that I want to share with you today. I hope that you can also implement this into your system. It’s something that I know a lot of people have been struggling with regards to not having Xoom anymore to pay to the Philippines and there are other methods out there. But I think, in my opinion, Paypal using the Mass Pay method is probably the easiest and simplest method out there that will keep your fees down or quite low. If you have any more feedback and you find other really good payment systems that you can recommend, love to hear about it too. Just leave it down on the comments section here and I love to hear your feedback as well. Love you to also tweet this and get it out to FaceBook as well and just to share with people because I know that a lot of people who are running businesses with virtual assistants will probably find these tips quite handy and quite helpful too. All right, that’s it for me today. I hope you’ve enjoyed the video that I’ve presented for you today. My name is Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Have a great day and see you in the next video!
