Julie-Ann McFann, Life of E’s member, Mac user, and the Fairy Godmother for academic women sent me this resource: http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  Since I record webinars in Windows Media Player format, Mac users need an option to allow them to download the webinar recordings…and apparently this is one such option. Check it out if you are a [...]

A question that came in from a Life of E’s member: I will be purchasing many books this coming year.  I have already bought a number of books from Amazon.com.  I have seen different offers from them where you pay a yearly fee and then get free shipping (for example).

Earlier this year when I taught a teleseminar/webinar series on “Teaching & Reaching/Learning & Earning with Cool Tools” (and another on using KickStartCart, the shopping cart system that I use), we talked about using the Broadcast and AutoResponder functions in a shopping cart.

Opportunity in the Los Angeles area: Many of you know I’ve learned so much from Tom Antion over the years and pretty much buy all of his programs, although I’ve never attended a ‘live’ event he has done.  If you’re interested in learning about Internet Marketing, Professional Speaking, and Tom’s take on success (which matches [...]

Suggestion: An article in the paper the other day, quoting Tim Ferriss (the one who wrote the 4-Hour Work Week that members of MEMc received last fall, I believe) suggested two sites that I had not heard of yet, but may very well be learning more about, as another resource to have on hand: www.AskSunday.com www.GetFriday.com [...]

Suggestion: I subscribe to John Kinde’s ezine which is really full of great ideas for using humor effectively in speaking.  He’s a fellow Las Vegan and improv-er.  I thought some of you might like to check out his articles.  I like (and use) them a lot. www.HumorPower.com.

Question: My computer recently crashed.  I had backed-up most of my writing files prior to the computer crashing.  However, I have no way of currently backing up my hard drive.  I know someone who is recommending Carbonite.  This is an on-line service that continually backs up all of the information on your computer.  It costs [...]
