Homeschoolers Work At Home Virtually

In my last post I recommended downloading special software that will enable you to transcribe videos using an open source video player. But guess what I learned? I just found out that I can remove audio from videos and use the free Express Scribe software to do the transcription. And it’s simple and FREE!

1. All you need to do is download the free Realplayer software and install it on your computer.
2. Once you’ve completed installation go to the website that has the video that needs to be transcribed.
3. Press Play and then hover your mouse over the upper right hand side of the video. Realplayer will ask you if you wish to download the video.
4. Click on that and the Realplayer Downloader program will pop up. Let the video download completely.
5. Then click on the video and another set of selections will appear under the video. Select Convert Video. Another dialog box will appear.
6. At that point you just select MP3 and tell Realplayer to Save the file and start transcribing.

I also learned (quite by accident) that if your video is an .AVI file, you can transcribe it directly from Express Scribe. No conversion is necesssary. How cool is that?

If you know of any other cool tools to make life easier for the work-at-home crowd, please be sure to add your comment below.

Thanks Diana (from www.VirtualWordPublishing.com) for sharing this great opportunity to help others!

I’m going to let you in on a little known method top marketers use to generate themselves recurring tons of cash! We’re talking about Joint Ventures (JV).And not just between 2 or 3 people. We’re talking JVs with all the big dogs in the I.M industry!

A while back I was invited to be part of a huge JV with loads of software and materials. I could reel in as many as 5,000 subscribers in a few days. Probably even thousands more!

Interesting? Click here to find out more:

This JV is known as the “The Season’s Greetings Giveaway” and is guaranteed to attract over 50,000 visitors in a few days. Ryan Bessling & Rick Yeo, the brains behind this unique idea, have asked me if I knew anyone to participate in this brilliant venture. Since my readers are generally work at home moms, I thought what would be a better way to help others to grow their businesses as well. The sign-up is free, but you will see a couple of upsells that you can take advantage of if you like.

You will love the way everything has been done for you and I excitedly look forward to seeing you here.

And if you’d like to know more about how JVs work in general I found this clip on YouTube that you  might find interesting.

Season’s Greetings,

P.S If you’re a technological klutz, don’t worry. Everything, including promo emails have been all set up and you’re ready to go in a couple of minutes!

This seems to be the weekend for membership site videos and classes.  As I was going though my email I came across not one, not two, but three emails on the subject.  After watching the videos I’m starting to get some ideas of my own way about ways to help people while adding a passive income stream to the mix. So, if you have a couple of minutes, why not check out what’s going on in the world of membership sites.

• Educating for Success has the introductory video on how membership sites work and how you can use it to generate passive revenue for your business. There is also a class offered to help you to setup your own membership site, but it’s already in session. So, if you’re interested in taking a class right away, you might want to check out the next bullet.
• The WLM Training and Certification Course is designed for business people who wish to learn more about how they can incorporate membership sites into their business offerings and create a community around your product or service.  This class starts on December 2, 2009 and is only offered once a year. So, if you’re interested you should jump on it.
• Learn about The Top 10 Membership Models when you watch this video. I was surprised to learn that some very successful membership sites don’t even have content inside! Amazing.

While I’m still on the fence about when and what type of membership type I would like to organize, one thing that I do know is that I want the software to be compatible with WordPress. From what I’ve heard thus far, membership software can range from free , but very limited functionality (i.e., MemberWing) to $5,000! If you’re a VA who hasn’t worked with membership sites and you’re self-hosting WordPress, you’d do well to download the free plug-in so that you can get your feet wet while you gain the skills to impress potential clients.

I’m leaning towards Wishlist since it’s a low-cost, but fully functioning one time cost. But if you  hear of any other good software packages out there, please be sure and share with the rest of us in the Comments Box.
