In my previous post I shared with you the specific tools I used to make 10,000+ a month and if you haven’t watched it, I recommend you watch that first. Inside this video I will be sharing with you 5 of my most valuable software tools I use to manage my virtual team and to speak with my audience, who is you. Also I have to admit, I don’t use anything else but these tools to run my business…

Hi everyone, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com! As I’ve shared with you previously on the video, I was talking about the tools that I use in my business. I showed you I use my laptop, my phone, my video camera, my mic and so forth to be able to create a business that generates $10,000 per month and it’s not that much, not many tools that I have there. A lot of people may think you might need the whole studio setup, you might the green screen, those kinds of stuff is not necessary. The main thing I just want to share with you is that you can do it from anywhere you want and it’s better to do it from anywhere because it’s more genuine, more authentic and you are true to yourself exactly with what you’re presenting to people.
You can go and setup a green screen which I do usually for professional videos and depending on the businesses that I’m doing it for, but I usually don’t spend too much time making it all that spectacular as long as I provide good content and information.
So coming back to what I’m going to share with you, I want to share with you exactly the software and tools that I use on my computer that will help you create any excellent videos that I’m doing right now. If you follow me through my computer, I’ll show you exactly the tools that I use. I’m just going to highlight the main ones that I use day-to-day that help me to do that and also what my virtual team use as well. Let’s go to my computer and I’ll show you the tools that I use.
Okay, I’m at my computer at the moment and I’m going to show you through exactly five top pieces that I use on my computer, these ones that are usually available for PC and Mac. The only one that’s not available for PC is Screenflow which you can see right here.
The first one is Screenflow which is just screen capturing software that I use day in day out to be able to demonstrate to you exactly the step by step process of how to do certain things. If you’ve seen any of the tutorials that I’ve provided, I showed you step by step by moving my mouse, pointing here, click there, etc. Screenflow is really good software. It’s easy to use and it’s very nice as well. You can buy the software and it costs $99 to buy and you can get it from Screenflow here.
If you don’t have a Mac and you got PC, I recommend Camtasia Studio. Camtasia Studio is really good as well though in my opinion I think Screenflow is a lot better in any ways because it’s simple and easier to use where you can create really stunning screen captures as well. As you probably see my Facebook included inside and Screenflow is doing all that capturing for me.
The next one that I’m going to show you is called Jing. Jing’s free and it’s great for you to be able to install step by step tutorials for your virtual staff and providing information to them to do exactly what needs to be done. You can record up to five minutes and you can store it onto their servers or you can store it on yours. If you want to be able to show anything that you need to do such as changing graphics on a website, or training them on doing administration stuffs, this is a great piece of software that allows you to do that. You can get it from Jingproject.com
So that’s the second piece. The third piece that I use is called Seesmic Desktop. You might be wondering how I manage to keep myself in contact with all the people in Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, any of all those things. Seesmic is an excellent tool that allows me to leverage my time so I’m able to answer questions all in one desktop wherein I don’t have to go all the way to different logins to Facebook, Twitter or anything like that to be able to reply to anyone. Seesmic Desktop is something that I use day-to-day to be able to tweet, to be able to reply back to Facebook and to any of those things. This is a great piece of software that I use day to day.
The next one that I use is Skype. Skype is a free conferencing software or free instant messaging software that you can use. If you haven’t heard of it, then you must be hiding in a row. But, it’s an excellent piece of software. If you’ve been using MSN or Yahoo Messenger, Skype is even better. You can do video recording with Skype, you can call anyone around the world, it’s all free. It’s an excellent piece of software that I use day to day to be able to get in contact with my virtual staff and also do some interviews with leading experts in different fields.
The last piece of software that I’m going to show you right now is called LastPass. LastPass is something I actually discovered more recently. I used to use software called RoboForm when I first started on PC and now I superseded that one and went over to OnePassword which I use for Mac for quite some time. Then, when LastPass came into existence, I’ve switched over to LastPass. The beautiful thing about this piece of software is it’s available for all browsers, all stored online and it’s very secure. This is great for storing usernames and passwords and be able to retrieve it easily by letting it enter into your website straightaway without you having to remember everything.
If you’ve got hundreds of websites or even just 5 or 10 websites, it gets a little bit hard to remember every single password or username unless you’ve got an Excel spreadsheet setup or something like that.
This wipes out all that and automatically fills in your passwords for you. This saves so much time almost everyday to access all my websites. One thing I haven’t told you is I use WordPress. WordPress is my blog and WordPress is something that I use day to day just to be able to post my blog posts that you see here and also the videos. So, these are all the tools that I use in my business and it’s very crucial that you have at least something that is in the system and in place so you’ll be able to use them to be able to develop, grow and run your business. These are simple tools that I use on top of what I have shown you previously on the physical tools such as my laptop, camera and all that stuff.
I hope you enjoyed this video and if you’ve got any more feedback, I’d love to hear more of your comments. Just put it down below the blog post. My name is Tyrone Shum from Tyroneshum.com. Have a great day and I’ll catch you in the next video!
How did you find that? From tools to softwares, I’ve given my most powerful tools which you can also start using today. I’d love to also learn from you and please write your comments below. Alternatively, let’s maximize “sharing” by also letting your Twitter and FaceBook friends know about this as well. Thanks for spending time with me today and talk soon!
Tyrone…..keep it real man,keep it real.thats all you have to do.I just started watchin your stuff and I knew that there was no way to be able to work 4hrs.lol.But you know man there’s no use in crying over spilt milk only to clean it up and push forward justly.
I generate my income from a few different sources:
1. Web development of ecommerce websites from clients, I have two major contracts

Thanks again Tyronne,
Of all the emails that I subscribe to, I believe that you have the greatest content. I will also say that you are probably the most genuine of all the trainers.
Thanks for being you.

Hi Tyrone
Great stuff on your blog.
Love it!
I left a message on your Youtube Channel about your background image, thought you would want to know.
Thanks

Hello Tyrone,
I remembered one of your emails before you recommended RescueTime as productivity tool. I installed the firefox plugin of RescueTime. Until now, I haven’t used it though because it’s bit complicated.
Do you have time tracking tools that your Filipino virtual assistants are using?
How can I track the time of my virtual assistants? You know, I am new & there are 6, all part time, of them already.
Great question. You will need to download the Rescue Time software and install it on your computer. I didn’t know there was a plugin for Firefox.. so you may have installed the wrong one. Try getting your VAs to install it and it will sit in the background and keep track of everything for you.
Also each of your VAs will need to install a “single” license or free one to keep track of their work.
I read or heard somewhere that you use ecamms callrecorder. Do you use that to record side-by-side Skype interviews so the finished product will have both you and the person you’re interviewing on your desktop? And if so, do you then import that video/audio recording into Screenflow to edit?
Yes that is right. I use the call recorder for Skype in Mac and I always record in the side by side video option.
Once I’ve finished that I will put it through Screenflow to add text overlays and some music in the background. Once that’s done then I have it uploaded online to YouTube and Viddler.
Thanks for these tools Tyrone, they will be very helpful for me! Also, I checked out your recommendations in the comments above and those were helpful as well.
The tools you listed in the first part of the video came at a good time because I have a Mac too and I’ve been searching for a good screen capture software.
Thanks for the warm compliments, I really appreciate it. I’m glad you also find my resources helpful and I hope you could utilize more from there to outsource your business needs.
Yes, Mac is fantastic and I highly recommend it as well to my subscribers.
There is a wealth of information on your blog…very impressive. I am sure the value I am to gain from your blog is going to help me in my business. I will be visiting your blog often.
Thanks for your comment. I use Audacity to edit any of my Mp3′s. Though if it’s converting from video to mp3 audio file, the Mac OS has a built in option to automatically convert any .mov file into .mp3
I forgot these other wish list items: Best way/services/software to affordably host videos, hosting audio, webinar services, and favorite WordPress themes. Also, a FULL list of *everything* one might need in the very beginning, and then once you’re more established — and the costs. Hope I’m not getting too greedy! I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. =)
Thanks and I love everyone’s feedback and the more the better because I can create videos for you (my audience). I can help you answer some of your questions briefly so you can get started:
I’ll create a video shortly for these tools to help everyone. Also, one last thing I do have a newsletter email that goes into a lot of detail of the other tools I mentioned above and if you are subscribed to my newsletter you will receive it in due time.
I can’t thank you enough for your generosity in sharing this information! Choosing the right technology to invest in and learn has been one of my biggest challenges in moving forward. I know it takes many hours and months to research and experiment with all the options. Thank you for this!! I think you may have already gone over this, but it’d be great to see a “Video #3″ where you offer advice on which Auto-Responder, Shopping Cart, Web Host, Domain Registrar, Membership Website Software, etc. to use.
Thanks Tyronne, this list is well noted. I use all the tools you got. I dont use Screenflow instead I use Camtasia or Jing Pro for a small annual fee which lot better than free jing. These tools are the backbone of any marketer who should be taken seriously.
I totally agree – Jing is excellent and I use it all the time to communicate work to my team of virtual staff. Camtasia is also great for PC, but I prefer Screenflow for Mac since I’m an Apple user.
Thanks for your comment and yes Jing is one that I recommend you try, especially when you are working with a team of virtual staff. It can really help streamline your work.
Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you back here soon.

Great video Tyrone,
I think the autoresponder is one of the most under appreciated tool that anybody has. It saves a lot of time and almost puts everything on autopilot.
Hi
You site is broken in Google Chrome Check it out the optin goes nuts at the top!
Thought I would let you know.
All good stuff here
Hi Phill,
Thanks for letting me know. I’ve got my developer on it and it’s something we are trying to get fixed.

Tyrone: WOA! OK, now. I never realized how much was needed in order to do all this. Sending great appreciation your way!
You are welcome. There’s more videos to come
Tyronne,
Great content. My question is what software do you use to edit your mp3 recording to your video.
Thanks

Hi Laila,
Thanks and I love everyone’s feedback and the more the better because I can create videos for you (my audience). I can help you answer some of your questions briefly so you can get started:
Hosting videos and audio cheaply – Amazon S3: http://aws.amazon.com/s3/
Bucket Explorer – You will need this for Amazon S3 to work: http://www.bucketexplorer.com/
Also if you want to use a free video hosting service, I use both Youtube and Viddler (for longer than 10 minutes)
Webinar Services – I use calliflower and gotowebinar: http://www.calliflower.com and http://www.gotowebinar.com
Favourite WordPress themes – Woo Themes: http://www.woothemes.com/
I’ll create a video shortly for these tools to help everyone. Also, one last thing I do have a newsletter email that goes into a lot of detail of the other tools I mentioned above and if you are subscribed to my newsletter you will receive it in due time.
Talk soon!
Tyrone:
Double-thanks to you! Yes, these are all super helpful. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of Nanacast.
Tyrone:
I can’t thank you enough for your generosity in sharing this information! Choosing the right technology to invest in and learn has been one of my biggest challenges in moving forward. I know it takes many hours and months to research and experiment with all the options. Thank you for this!! I think you may have already gone over this, but it’d be great to see a “Video #3″ where you offer advice on which Auto-Responder, Shopping Cart, Web Host, Domain Registrar, Membership Website Software, etc. to use.
Hi Laila,
Thanks very much for your comment and your feedback. Your advice on creating another video for auto-responder, and so forth is an excellent idea! I will put this in my upcoming videos and create one for you. To help you get started for the moment so you don’t have to wait for the next video try these tools:
Autoresponder – http://www.tyroneshum.com/aweber
Shopping Cart – http://www.tyroneshum.com/nanacast
Domain Register – http://www.tyroneshum.com/namecheap
Membership Site Software – http://www.tyroneshum.com/nanacast
I hope these tools will help you.
Thanks.

Great tools Tyrone – very valuable tools here man!
Hi Tony,
Thanks for your warm comment.
I’ll be posting few more tools for you so watch out!
Great video, mate.
This and the first one – valuable, simple stuff to follow for anyone wanting to get going, especially with the video aspect on things, too.
Your vids are getting better and better. Keep shooting, mate!
Chris
Thanks Chris.
There’s more to come!
This is really a very great video. Most of the software you use are new to me except jing.
I also use camtasia before for screencasting.
But anyway, this is my first time visiting your blog since I saw the interview of you from yaro’s blog.
I was impressed with your blog because it really looks like yaro’s blog.

Hi Felix,
Thanks for your comment and yes Jing is one that I recommend you try, especially when you are working with a team of virtual staff. It can really help streamline your work.
