    Joel,
    This video came on time. I never make videos because my camera is too complicated. This flip video looks so easy to operate. I just bought one.

    Thank you
    I love your clips.

  2. Pete Moring Says:

    Hi Joel,

    You certainly have the art of condensing a whole lot of very useful info into such a short video update.

    This has become a very addictive series.

    Many thanks,

    Pete.

    Hi,

    great info again, i do have a good camera, but do like the idea of having the little flip cam, to capture those little moments that come up.

    Nice video, good information. I think I will shoot a video about how you can get your Google Ads for Free and use the service for uploading to multiple sites.

    Great info Joel, I always slack on making videos because I hate the editing process. With all the equipment I have set up, I need to just do it!

  8. Michael Kocis Says:

    Thank you again Joel, in a world saturated with useless information, it is truly refreshing to have found someone that offers "Views You Can Use" hat's off to ya.

    Great video. I'm glad you recommended the Flip. I love mine!

    I don't make more videos because I haven't yet developed the commitment to 'hair and makeup' that seems to be expected from women on camera. But I did a really funky little product video - if you want to see what it looks like to hold your Flip in one hand and shoot your product in the other. It's the second video on this page:
    http://www.letyourmortgagemakeyourich.com/secret-revealed/ -- part way through my sales process, so the positioning may not make sense to you, but I *love* this video!

    Why a video instead of a still? My still camera wasn't working the day my coach told me to get a picture of my product up. I did the flip and it's just so dorky it inspires folks!

    I think people do want the truth about what they're getting...not just a list of promises. If I do it over, I'll probably bookmark and turn to specific sections --which I will definitely do in training videos!

    Good luck to all my fellow vid-novices!

    Get a decent camera...wouldn't bother with flipvideo.

    Get a Cannon...excellent quality video and audio.

    Joel, thanks for the info-youtube commercial...:) (sarcasm...)

    Hope youtube doesn't turn into a commercial buy buy.

    Joel,
    I love my flip camera, I bought one last week and have been doing interviews with it....the quality is actually very good with the Ultra series which can be purchased at www.BuyFlipVideo.com as well.
    Thanks for all the great work you do !

    Nice one Joel,

    I'm actually starting to get into it as well.

    I bought Sony Vegas Corporate Edition The other day so I can start some cool vids with green screen.

    Speaking of rocket scientists, dang, Sony Vegas looks well confusing.

    Any easy to follow tips on this software?

    Cheers

    There has been a lot of buzzz about video clips integrated intothe website. this is a good feature that you have covered in your article
    Thanks :)

    Hey, another Myst fan!

    I've heard many good things about the Flip camera. I bought a cheaper camera before Flip came out, and it's a wreck. The mic is on top instead of on the front, and it's terrible in low light, and the video it records doesn't even work in the editing software they provide, much less my own (and while it does work in Camtasia, it gives me problems). I want this camera.

    Traffic Geyser is a great resource, but for those who can't afford the $97 a month it costs, there's a great free option until you're ready for TG - Tube Mogul at www.tubemogul.com. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as TG, or submits to all the ones TG does, but it does send vids to the top video sites and tracks their traffic.

    And remember guys, Joel is the guy that introduced us to Trippy and his viral video course.

    The flip camera looks good but how is the sound quality? Joel, in your video here, it appears you are displaying the Flip video feed but where is your sound feed coming from?

  18. Waleed(rocketwork) Says:

    thanks Joel for that nice video,it is short,straight to the point and informative
    you pay my attention to the flip video, it is really good device

  19. Sara Says:

    Good one Joel. But people who have Cannon can make a better video than flip. But flip will be a good choice for beginners.

  20. Brian Moore Says:

    Thanks Joel

    My videos have been working well for me in directing more traffic to my site, but I know I need to do them more often, to keep things fresh and interesting

    Cheers

    Hi Joel,

    Question to you or your video wizard...

    What software do you use for the video editing? I like the animations you have going on the screen while talking (like e.g. the rocket flying through the screen). :)

    Best regards,

    Frank Bauer
