  1. Joel,
    This video came on time. I never make videos because my camera is too complicated. This flip video looks so easy to operate. I just bought one.
    Thank you
    I love your clips.

  2. Hi Joel,
    You certainly have the art of condensing a whole lot of very useful info into such a short video update.
    This has become a very addictive series.
    Many thanks,
    Pete.

  3. Again, your advice and knowledge is the BEST!! I was trying to think of a way to push me off the ground. You gave it to me. Thank you. Keep it coming please!

  4. Hi,
    great info again, i do have a good camera, but do like the idea of having the little flip cam, to capture those little moments that come up.

  5. Great info Joel, I always slack on making videos because I hate the editing process. With all the equipment I have set up, I need to just do it!

  6. Great video. I’m glad you recommended the Flip. I love mine!
    I don’t make more videos because I haven’t yet developed the commitment to ‘hair and makeup’ that seems to be expected from women on camera. But I did a really funky little product video – if you want to see what it looks like to hold your Flip in one hand and shoot your product in the other. It’s the second video on this page:
    http://www.letyourmortgagemakeyourich.com/secret-revealed/ — part way through my sales process, so the positioning may not make sense to you, but I *love* this video!
    Why a video instead of a still? My still camera wasn’t working the day my coach told me to get a picture of my product up. I did the flip and it’s just so dorky it inspires folks!
    I think people do want the truth about what they’re getting…not just a list of promises. If I do it over, I’ll probably bookmark and turn to specific sections –which I will definitely do in training videos!
    Good luck to all my fellow vid-novices!

  7. Get a decent camera…wouldn’t bother with flipvideo.
    Get a Cannon…excellent quality video and audio.
    Joel, thanks for the info-youtube commercial…:) (sarcasm…)
    Hope youtube doesn’t turn into a commercial buy buy.

  8. Hey, another Myst fan!
    I’ve heard many good things about the Flip camera. I bought a cheaper camera before Flip came out, and it’s a wreck. The mic is on top instead of on the front, and it’s terrible in low light, and the video it records doesn’t even work in the editing software they provide, much less my own (and while it does work in Camtasia, it gives me problems). I want this camera.
    Traffic Geyser is a great resource, but for those who can’t afford the $97 a month it costs, there’s a great free option until you’re ready for TG – Tube Mogul at http://www.tubemogul.com. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as TG, or submits to all the ones TG does, but it does send vids to the top video sites and tracks their traffic.
    And remember guys, Joel is the guy that introduced us to Trippy and his viral video course.

  9. The flip camera looks good but how is the sound quality? Joel, in your video here, it appears you are displaying the Flip video feed but where is your sound feed coming from?

  10. Good one Joel. But people who have Cannon can make a better video than flip. But flip will be a good choice for beginners.

  11. Hi Joel,
    Question to you or your video wizard…
    What software do you use for the video editing? I like the animations you have going on the screen while talking (like e.g. the rocket flying through the screen). 🙂
    Best regards,
    Frank Bauer
