Video Tips: The Video Camera I bought and why
I’ve had a few people email/tweet me to ask what video camera I bought and why. They’ve been impressed with the high quality of the videos I made while on my US trip.
You can see some of my videos on my Youtube channel (why not subscribe while there?)
The Camera I bought is a Kodak Zi8. This is why I bought it:
- It fits in my hand bag
- You can upload direct to Youtube & Facebook
- It plugs into my USB port to upload and charge
- You can plug in an external Mic (this feature is usually only available in expensive models)
- It is great quality for sound and light in the video
- It is High Definition – figured this is the way of the future (don’t know why really) so may as well be prepared
- It makes me look professional when I’m very much an amateur
- It’s cheap (cost me about $170 USD)
Only problem so far:
- If you want to shoot really high resolution for the big screen, I don’t think it’s good enough. Brilliant at 720dpi for the web though
- The still camera doesn’t have a flash, which is a drag (my phone does though so I use it for photos)
Realign Your Core Values
Filed under: Law of Attraction, Personal Development
This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Shelley-Taylor Smith, the champion mindset coach. This call was incredible and I’m sure for many people, life-changing.
Here is just some of the comments from listeners “That was an amazing call Janet….one of the best….Thanks “ Christine
“Thanks so much Janet, that was a brilliant call. I’m off to redo the exercise for myself now. Glad to have you back xx ” Lorraine-Canberra
My gift to you comes from Shelley. On the call, Shelley put me on the hot seat to do a core values exercise which I found very powerful. If you are a gold member of Wonderful Web Women (and if you’re not, why not!), you can download the recording and see why this exercise is so valuable for you and your business.
Otherwise, follow the exercise in the guide here.
You’ll also find a limited number generous offer Shelly has made which gives you one-on-one time with her as a bonus.
Passion to Profits Re-opens

I can’t believe it was only 8 weeks ago I started the first intensive classes for the Passion to Profits Business Building Program. I’m so impressed with the number of people who hit the ground running and have already launched their programs, positioned themselves as leaders and started to build highly targeted lists (while creating great products at the same time).
There are others who are ready to launch in the new year and others who have struggled with identifying their niche who are finally clear. Wow!
This shows me that often the only thing holding people back is access to a step-by-step system and hand holding. When you can stop researching methods, technology and know how, then the rest is up to you to tap into what you are passionate about and put it into action.
I hadn’t planned to run another set of intensive classes this year but I can’t help myself. I love seeing people create success. So no fan fair here or big launch.
I’m running 6 classes at times to suit Australians, Americans, many Asian countries and Great Britain / Europe.
Here’s what to do:
- Check out all the details of the coaching program here.
- Come along to a special class next week to get any questions answered (or send them through before)
- Choose one of the packages (yep, I even have a 12 month payment plan)
- Start doing your homework – you get immediate access to the online resource area.

Techy Tip: The Web Pages and Emails You Need To Set Up a Mailing List
If you want to entice people to join your mailing list you have to give something of great value in return for their email address and name. After all, we all now how valuable our contact details are.
The best gifts are those that solve a problem your customer already has s they will start to see you as a solution provider and you give great value straight up.
Usually this will be a digital product like an ebook or audio recording, that can be delivered immediately on autopilot.
The thing that often starts business owners setting up this perfect lead generation system, is understanding the techy stuff. They have trouble visualizing the process, the steps involved, and what web pages and emails are needed.
So here it is, in dot point for your reference:
- Customer fills in email address and name in an “opt-in” form on your site. This may be on a page called a “squeeze page”, “Landing Page” or just on the main page of your web site.
- The information they fill out is sent to the email program you used to set up your “opt-in” box. I recommend Aweber and Autoweb Business.
- The email / autoresponder programs sends an email to the new subscriber, asking them to confirm it was them that filled in the form. The email will have a confirmation link in it. Usually, you can edit the text of this email to add a personal touch.
- Meanwhile…back on your web site…after the person clicks the “subscribe” button, they are taken to a new page on your web site. This is the Thank you page. I usually head this with “Step 2 of 3″ so they know they have another step to do. On this page you thank them for subscribing and tell them to check their in box and confirm their subscription
- The customer checks the in box and clicks on the subscribe link
- As soon as they hit subscribe they are taken to a web page that tells them they were successful. Your email program will give you the option to choose which page the customer is sent to. I send them to a page I have created on my web site called “Download page”. This page congratulates them and has links to their gift. I usually head this “Step 3 of 3″ so they know it is all over
- When the customer clicked on the confirm link in the confirmation email, this triggered your email program to send the first email you have loaded into the follow-up email sequence. In this email you start building the relationship and also include the link to the “Download Page”.
That’s it. Now you have a happy, double opt-in subscriber.
In summary, here are the assets you need to create:
- Landing Page - may or may not be linked to your web site navigation
- Thank you page - not linked to navigation
- Download Page - not linked to navigation
- Confirmation email - edit the standard one to personalize it. I usually put “Step 2 of 3″ in the subject line.
- Welcome email - first email in the follow up sequence with link to download page.
Good luck. If you don’t want to learn how to set this all up yourself, a great place to get help from people who understand Internet Marketing is Wonderful Web Solutions.
