How to Create a Video on Your Website - Free

Question: "How can I make my website more interesting and exciting? I don't want to spend a lot of money, and I don't know HTML code either."

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then imagine what an online video can do for you website!

But if you’re like me, your first thought about creating website videos may be, “Do I really want to spend the time and money figuring out how to do this?”

Here’s a really easy solution – Pic2Vid has created an online program that lets you upload your photos, add voice or text-to-speech – and create a video pretty darn quick! And it’s free.

You don’t have to be high-tech literate to do this either. Check out their online demo to see what you can do.

TrafficSwarm is one of the few automated traffic generation tools I use - and I use it on a regular basis. It consistently brings me traffic, and it's easy, like that infomercial - just "set it and forget it".

New Marketing Technique >> Creating a Lens

Question: "I need new marketing ideas."

So, what is a Lens, and while we’re at it, a Lensmaster?

Lensmasters build lenses on topics they know or care a lot about. Once you start building your lense, you’ll probably notice that it’s very similar to blogging.

Lenses are a great tool for attracting new traffic to your business, especially because they seem to be picked up easily by Google

You can see an example of a Lens that I have set up here >> www.squidoo.com/homebusiness

You can become a Lensmaster and build unlimited lenses at Squidoo for free.
