Screencasting. The Next Big Thing?

Last week a friend and colleague, Michael Pollock of Small Business Branding, helped me out with a bit of a blog design issue I was having.  To show me how he fixed my problem, he created a screencast that I could view and learn from.  And lately, the term screencast has popped up all over the place as a tool for multimedia training. 

You know what that means...I'll be learning that skill myself, very, very soon.  In fact, my partner Patsi Krakoff and I are now in the process of updating our Build a Better Blog System ebook and I'll probably throw in a screencast of two.

You can check out Michael's screencast on his blog.  It's really cool and if you use Typepad for your blog, you'll learn a neat trick too.

Are You Running a Business, or Running Around?

If you're a savvy solopreneur, you'll want to attend this Conversation with expert and business coach Des Walsh of Thinking Home Business.

Are You Running a Business, or Running Around?
Wednesday, July 27, 2005, 8:30 p.m. ET - FREE
Guest Expert: Des Walsh of Thinking Home Business and featured in the Build a Better Blog System

Home based business will in the not too distant future be the preferred model for providing the income to achieve an abundant, fully self-actualised life. For many of us it is already just that or fast becoming so. However, a lot of people who work from home do not feel the sort of pride and exuberance you might expect if home based business is that great a model.

A real business owner thinks strategically, not just responding to crises, and is hungry for profit (some home based ‘business owners’ find this a shocking phrase). A real business owner understands that consistency and service will be rewarded. (I am not talking about people whose ‘home business’ is actually just a hobby and they’re happy with that.)

Des Walsh is a business coach and blogging evangelist. A former senior executive in the Australian government service and a home based consultant and training adviser for business and government since 1988, Des helps business owners and entrepreneurs excel in playing the ‘inner game’ on their path to success.

In his popular blog – Thinking Home Business – Des shares experience and practical tips for the thinking home business owner. He is writing a guide for first time business bloggers. Home is Australia’s Gold Coast.

Audio Post - Crash Course in Publicity

This is an audio post direct from the Crash Course in Publicity with Jill Lublin - July 22, 2005.  In this post I tell you about a very effective networking tip that we did during our lunch break.

The next networking event you attend, ask someone:

"What do you need for your business in the next 30 days?"

"How can I help?"

You may have a solution for the person and any time you give, you also will receive.
