Love Wordpress, Camptasia, and have had a lot of experience with gotowebinar. Jing is a great new tool, as it screen captures like Camptasia but the video's are easily shared. Videos are limited to 5 minutes. It’s been a while since the last post…a couple of years! Love WordPress, Camptasia, and have had a lot of experience with gotowebinar.

Email marketing comes with a lot of laws thanks to the ICANN spam act so I'd be quite worried about managing it on my own without a company who knows what they are doing to manage my campaigns. Much smarter to just spend the $30 per month it takes to get started... You plan on making more then $30 a month right? So go for it! ;-) I’m not sure if that WP plugin would work… Email marketing comes with a lot of laws thanks to the ICANN spam act so I’d be quite worried about managing it on my own without a company who knows what they are doing to manage my campaigns.

One of the things I like about you and Chaunna is the fact that you are not just telling us about the success that you are having and then trying to sell a lot of programs, but you are showing us what you are using to get the results you are getting. I see that I am on the right track as I have 3 of the 5 must have tools mentioned in this article. Question for you; why would you have both Joomla and Word Press. What can Joomla do that WP can't do? I am just curious as to why you would recommend both. Hey Justin,

There are still certain extensions that make Joomla more versatile then wordpress. However, if we were talking about each without any plugins then sure wordpress is the better CMS. I don't know much about constant contact but I do know that Aweber has some of the highest deliverability rates in the industry. I think only iContact is beating them right now in deliverability. And yes in Aweber you can completely customize your emails. They have 20 -30 templates you can start with or you can upload any of your own.

It's what we used to make our video demos and it's been great and easy to use. I also just got into using <a href="http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm" rel="nofollow">ScreenFlow</a> because I was on the hunt for a similar tool as Camtasia but to run on and record the screen of a Mac. Like I said, just got into so I don't have that much feedback thus far. Perhaps others have been using this for a while and have some feedback of their own.... I wanted to contact you about a web app that may interest you or others who are after a way of making free Web presentations. Our tool is called <a href="http://www.mikogo.com" rel="nofollow">Mikogo</a>, and it would be great if you would consider dropping by our website and checking it out.

I don't use Aweber but I do understand the need to use an email list manager as a way to stay in touch with your client's base and for now the one that I use is working out very well for me. As far as DimDim this is the first time I hear about it (I guees is just because I have not had the need to conduct a webinar yet) but when the time comes I will certainly try it.
