Jing Makes Marketing Easy…

This is soooo cool! Here’s an easy to use tool that could really make a difference when you’re communicating with your team. This tool could also be used to add content to your blog or social media sites too.

They call it “Jing”

It’s software that allows you to capture your screen in real time and it records audio too. It’s brought to us by the wonderful people at Techsmith.com. The same guys who brought us Camtasia and Snagit. The best part, is that this tool is so brain dead easy to use. You just click and record.

Did I mention there’s a free version?

The part that sucks, is that it only records up to five minutes. So if you want to record longer screen captures then you’ll have to invest in Camtasia which is kinda like the pimped out version of Jing. But I doubt you’ll do that because even the paid version of Jing is good enough for most of your content or team work needs.

How could you use Jing?

Essentially, it’s the tool you want to use for quick tutorials. If you want to go all out then I recommend you pay for the professional version which is still pretty cheap.

A buncha ways to use Jing…
-Creating content for your blog
-Duplicating your training for your downline
-Helping people out with technical stuff
-Communicating with your team
-Creating narrated slideshows
-Critiquing or designing projects
-Quick and dirty product creation

And whatever…

But if you’re like me then you’re just wondering how you could use Jing to take over the world. Or at least, a social media site like Better Networker…

So how could you use Jing to dominate a site like Better Networker?

This is a topic that’s close to my heart. I probably read more content on BetterNetworker.com than almost anybody else. I don’t say that too brag, but I have to stay on top of things. But I always have this thought in the back of my mind that most people aren’t really realizing their full potential on that site.

They’re simply blending in…

SO when I see a tool like Jing or Camtasia, I can’t for the life of me understand why some clever networker doesn’t take 10 minutes a day to post helpful community content that shows people how to set up their widgets or diddly doos.

I mean, some people are really catching on, but if you picked a specific topic and “jinged” screenshot tutorials every day, not only would you be standing out from the crowd and generating leads for free, but you would also be able to repackage some of that content and sell it as a product too. Maybe even build your own funded proposal using the principles MD talks about in Magnetic Sponsoring. Now wouldn’t that be cool?

It’s like knocking out two pigeons with one stone…

But the key would be persistence. These days it’s hard to outspend someone but you can almost always outwork the competition with a short daily session of content creation. It’s hard to spend 10 minutes a day focused on a single task. It’s not a lot of work, but almost nobody is capable of it over the course of a year.

For instance, I write blog posts every week day. Sure, I mess up every once in a while, but the body of work stands for itself. If you told me to write 60 articles, I would tell you that you were insane. That’s like writing a book! But If you spend a bit of time every day, you can easily write 60 blog posts in two months. Believe it or not.

It’s all about persistence and good habits…

A little more about standing out with Jing or Camtasia…

I bet you’re wondering why people will care about your little “Jings”. The truth is, they won’t. It’s like anything else…

- You have to serve people and help them out
- You have to pick problems and solve them
- You have to give the best value you can
- You have to pick a topic that isn’t saturated
- You have to specialize and master one skill

In short, you’ll still have to market yourself, but showing up and posting content with a tool almost nobody is using on sites like Better Networker will help you cut through the clutter.

Hi J.

Its like you read my mind.
I am soon to start my video onslaught. (My 1st ones came out ok).

I have learned a lot from you, and I have now added doing a blog post a day to my daily activity. It’s working out good so far.

I’ll check Jing out, thanks for the heads-up
