You got it… no sales pitch, nothing…. got this from Paul Kleinmeulman’s blog.  He’s just passing along some great info.  You can download the software for FREE - Camtasia 3, they’ll give you the key code to make it fully operational.

What’s the catch? Actually there really is no catch at all.  They’re releasing a new version so they’re giving away the older version of Camtasia, Camtasia 3, for FREE and offering the upgrade at half price for the upsell.

Personally I didn’t get the upgrade, although $149 for a $299 software is a helluva deal!!

Anyway, here’s the links… no affiliate codes, just the links to download the software and a link to sign up for the key to set it up.

1. Download the free trial version of Camtasia Studio 3
at:

http://download.techsmith.com/camtasiastudio/enu/312/camtasiaf.exe

(That’s not an affiliate link)

2. Go to this promotion page, complete your name, country
and e-mail address and Techsmith will send you the software
key to unlock the program almost instantly.

http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/pcpls.asp (no affil.)

3. Just install the program you downloaded from step 1 above
and then enter the software key you receive from Techsmith
and you’ll have a fully working version of Camtasia Studio 3
on your PC.

I have no clue if this is time limited or not but if I were you, I’d grab it ASAP!!!

Thanks for the tip Paul!!!

Ok, now this is not going to sound like much of a milestone to many of you out there but for me, this is important and a kind of big deal It’s also a bit of a case study in how one ‘breaking’ post or story can really skyrocket traffic.

In the past, I’ve told you that I really got seriously into blogging only about six months ago, sure I’ve blogged on and off for a couple of years, but this blog is the one that is most important to me. I started it because it is my passion. It was never meant to be a ‘money’ site although it does more than pay for itself.

A little about the site

• I started the site in mid-April but backdated some posts to start getting indexed with some content.
• I have never advertised this site except for writing a couple of articles and I didn’t even do that until recently.
• The niche is what I would consider to be a heavily populated one, dogs, but my angle is one that is much more targeted, canine advocacy. Now you can see why this was never created to be a ‘money site’
• By the end of April, with only search engine traffic, a two week span of time, I had 500 unique visitors.
• By the end of May, again, no advertising, only search engine, I had over 2500 unique visitors.
• By the end of July, again, no advertising, only search engine, I had over 5000 unique visitors.
• In August I had a major spike due to one story that got picked up by ebaumsworld.com and was heavily promoted and hit over 18,000 unique visitors.
• This month, I broke a story in the US which was heavily picked up by blogs all over the county as well as forums, Facebook, Livejournals, Craigslist, websites and many other places and I will easily top over 20,000 visitors.

Like I said, this doesn’t sound like a big deal but remember, no advertising and this is a very small and targeted niche. With just one ‘breaking’ story, I have had a major increase in traffic.

Fall is the time of the year for all kinds of launches, programs, Giveaways, JVs and of course, products.

Seems the latest ‘hottest product’ that everyone’s to be talking about is the 12 Month Internet Millionaire.

This is Russell Brunson’s latest brainchild where he interviews Vince James who happens to be a 28 yr old convicted felon. Yeah, I know, that’s what I thought too… until I started reading a little more about this Vince James. Seems this guys makes money and I don’t mean a few bucks here and there, I am talking mega bucks! Millions… easily! About $100 MILLION in only 23 months… selling a $60 product!!!

Basically Russell corralled Vince into a 6 hr interview, this guy charges about $5K an hour, and asked him to reveal his ’secrets’ and how his offline techniques could be applied online to make that kind of mega moola. Got your interest now, don’t I? Mine too, so don’t feel bad.

Well at this point all I can say is do what I did and check it out - 12 Month Internet Millionaire!

Then let me know what you think!
