Videos on the cheap

If you're looking for a cheap way to get video content on your website or in demostrations and you don't have the staff or editing capability, try http://www.pixability.com/. They have an offer where they will send you Flip Camera, you shoot your video (demos, customer success stories, product shoot-outs, etc.), you send back the Flip Camera and they will edit the video into a nice package to be posted on your website, social media sites or simply to DVD. This is a must for any small business with zero video content on their website. They have different packages but most are under $500 for the service.

A cheap and easy website evaluation tool

Want to get your website noticed by search engines? – Here is an easy, powerful and FREE tool to get you started.


How's your website doing? If you're among the ranks of the incredibly web-savvy, you can probably answer that question with a mind-blowing array of details about your search engine rankings, visitation rates, average time visitors spend on each page and the number of other sites connected to you. If you are among this “web-elite”, you have no doubt learned to leverage a multitude of free programs on the web to help you determine the effectiveness of your website or you program these tools yourself.


So what if you want greater visibility for your website, but you’re not a web search guru? I found a great site that puts together a very thorough report about how effect your website is versus your competitors. It is called http://www.websitegrader.com/ and of course, it is free. Well, almost free. You have to give them your email address (however, you will not receive any spam as long as you do not opt in). The report you’ll get details your web pages that are not downloading well, the effectiveness of your metadata, headings, and images, your search engine rankings, and other sites connected to you. Plus, you’ll get a bunch of suggestions to make some minor changes to your site in order to get a big lift in your rankings.



As I said, there are other similar tools like this available on the web. I've just found http://www.websitegrader.com/ to be the simplest. Tell your customers about this site too.
