Jive Systems Video E-mail Has Got Me Singing Like Barry Gibb.
Hi all, firstly a big apology for the time between posts.
I think everybody within the student body will agree with me that these post-course weeks have been extremely hard work, but at the same time extremely exciting times. Since the end of the course I have been looking at various methods of communicating with members of my list on a different level than the bog standard text e-mail. I signed up to a fantastic service run by Jive Systems. Basically Jive Systems have come up with a video e-mailing system that as far as I am concerned is the bees knees. I have done a lot of research in this particular medium because as a lot of you know I am very interested in video communication. In my research I have found that there are lots of companies offering video e-mailing but I discovered the price of these programmes to be quite prohibitive inasmuch as they would set you a figure based on how many e-mails you would send out per month and beyond this you would be charged a tariff based on each extra e-mail sent. The beauty of Jive Systems is that there are no extra charges, you have one fixed monthly payment and it doesn´t matter how large your list becomes. As you can probably tell I am really excited about this product as I am becoming more and more comfortable talking to the camera and I do feel that it is a far nicer way to communicate with the people on my list and one of the other fabulous points about this system is the fact that within each of the 40 templates they have to offer you are able to include live links to wherever you point your customers. Be that a link to your blog, a video, a pdf or in fact anything.
I have joined virtually every giveaway event that has been advertised at the moment. I am really pleased to say that they are actually working for me. My list is growing daily. It is quite incredible how much work you can actually fit into a 16 hour day! (not every day but nearly. Ha.Ha.) Inbetween outside commitments and the need to give this business the input that it needs to grow, I find my once burgeoning social calendar has taken a nose dive, but it´s all good. Apart from producing videos for Clickbank products, I have been beavering away at my own first product launch for the IM niche. (My Journey So Far – Version 12!!).
I feel really bad for not getting round to see any of my fellow students blogs but even as well as I manage my time, I am just finding at the moment that extra hour to do this is just beyond me at the moment, so my apologies to all but I promise I will be visiting again as soon as everything starts to calm down.

@Gary Simpson –
Hi Gary,
Thanks for popping by. I´m really pleased the way these giveaways are working for me. The one thing though that does frustrate me is the fact that a high percentage of people don´t double optin. On the squeeze page I made it quite clear that they had to do this to receive their gift, but for whatever reason they don´t !
As I said in the post I feel really bad about not getting round to you all but, I have to get all this out of the way first. Apart from what I´m doing here I am getting really busy again on the boating front, and as much as I love that side of my life it´s eating too much of my time..
I hope all is well with you ?
Best wishes,
Paull
Hi Paul,
How are you?
I would be interested to hear more about this jive system and I’m sure you’ll be doing a post about in the near future. But if you happen to have a link to it I’d appreciate it if you could forward it onto me so that I can check it out as well.
Speak soon.

Oh, and by the way. I think your video tutorial on how to use windows movie maker is fantastic. I will definitely recommend it to aspiring newbie bloggers who come across my path in the future.

Hi Guy,
Firstly thanks very much for the lovely comment about the tutorial =O)
I found the Jive system about a month ago and it´s brilliant !! I made a video about the system and posted it to YouTube http://tinyurl.com/ae9467 If you follow the link you can get an ebook about the system.
If you need anymore info, give me a holla..
All the best,
Paull
Hi Paull,
Thanks for the link, I should be getting the e-book via e-mail so will read it later. I’ve noticed that you’ve only got one video up on YOUTUBE, why don’t you upload the rest of your videos, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to get more traffic.

Hi Paull,
Happy to hear the giveaway’s are working well for you. I’m going to read JT’s book to help me with that.
Talk with you again soon,
Theresa
Hi Paul,
I have not been on your site for a while but you are giving some really good information. I have not joined any giveaways yet, will have to read up on how they work.
Talk soon
