Does a Virtual Assistant Need to Invest in Every new Version of Camtasia that Comes Out?
By Michelle Schoen |
Last week I was interviewed by my friend Angela Wills, of Marketers Mojo, about how I make a living providing video services to clients and whether I felt it was worth the investment to keep upgrading Camtasia, which seems to come out with a new version ever year.
After Angela sent me her questions for the interview, which were very good by the way, I started thinking about my answers from the point of view of a VA who had already spent quite a bit of money on training. How important is it to have the latest greatest version of something? And what about this whole video thing anyhow? Is that a service that is worthwhile to specialize in at all? If you want to know what I had to say you’ll just have to head on over to her blog and listen to the interview at http://www.marketersmojo.com/6131/michelle-schoen-2/
I also talk about this Thursday’s (April 29th) Free Webinar that I am delivering
with my Camtasia buddy Lon Naylor. We’ll be showing some of the videos we just created with Camtasia 7 and letting you know if it is time to upgrade. To sign up for that go to http://bit.ly/learncam7
Here are the questions she asked me:
Tell us your story? How did you get involved in using Camtasia for clients?
Do you think a virtual assistant should invest in every new version of Camtasia that comes out?
Who do you think would be a good candidate to provide video services to clients? Can you describe them for me?
You and I talked about creating products with video as well. Do you see that fitting as a possibility for VAs – creating their own products?
- What is screencasting?
- Why do clients want videos? For marketing (salespages), for tutorials,
- What kind of work can a VA get with Camtasia? Video editing, Webinar recording, repurposing. Putting parts of videos together for a client.
Is Camtasia strictly for screencasting or can it be used for editing live ‘person’ videos?
What is included in your course?
The cost of Camtasia is $299 can you justify that for us?
By the way, after you listen to the interview, let me know in the comments section, if you have any thoughts or questions about providing video services to your clients . Hope you’ll enjoy listening!
