If you have yet to grab your free Camtasia Three software, check out my previous post.
Then, if you are wondering how to create a professional quality Camtasia tutorial, check out these tips.
1. First, remember you know all about your subject -- whilst your viewers will know nothing, or very little, which is why they are watching your videos. So imagine you are the pupil, rather than the teacher.
2. As a pupil, you will appreciate being taken at a pace you can follow, so make your movements on Camtasia far slower and more deliberate than usual. That way, your viewers will find it far easier to follow your Camtasia tutorials.
3. For the same reason, don't assume any knowledge on the part of your viewer and explain every move fully as you do it.
4. First record the screen cast and only then record the narration. Fortunately Camtasia gives you the option to record the voice-over later, so take full advantage of this. Then, once you've edited the video, you can watch it, whilst you record your narration. This enables your voice-over to fit the video exactly. Also, by focusing on these two important tasks separately you will produce a far better product.
I've got some more free video software you can use. This works pretty much on auto-pilot to create great videos you can put on YouTube:

Even The Copywriters Agree - Web Video Is Great For Increasing Sales!
John Carlton is one of the world's greatest copywriter. I should declare an interest here, as he's the wordsmith genius who taught me how to write sizzling sales copy -- as well as put some umpf into my articles.
He recently sent out an e-mail which says: "It's not really a question anymore. Video sells. It's an exciting and easy way to transform your copywriting skills into profits."
You might think, video spells the death knell for copywriters like John Carlton. But nothing could be further from the truth and here's why . . .
Good copywriting is actually less about the actual words and much more about the psychological principles behind the words. And, because people's psychological makeup hasn't changed in a millennia, the principles on which good copywriting is rooted remain unchanged through the advent of internet marketing and this current development of web video. What web video does is open up exciting opportunities to create scripts for all those video sales pages, using specific words and firmly based on those unchanging human emotions.
And other copywriters, like Michel Fortin, are embracing video as the perfect way to educate their visitors by using web video to show his copywriting critiques.
To quote another famous John (John Reeese), who found website video tripled his sales: "Video is here to stay and will become a must have ". So you now need to ask yourself if you will be content eating the dust of your competitors, as they supercharge their websites for ever increasing sales, or if you will be the first in your niche to benefit from increasing sales with web video.

Three Reasons Why You Need Web Video Now
Increase website traffic: Every savvy internet marketer knows that without traffic, they don't really have a business. Their website will be as lively as one of those ghost towns, out west, where the only movement is a piece of tumbleweed rolling down the main street.
So having video listed in Google -- maybe even on that coveted first page (because not every one has caught on yet) -- and posted on YouTube and the other free video sharing sites is a great way of getting more free, targeted vistors. With music and moving pictures, you can quickly build interest into a short video, making viewers eager to come to your website for more information, making it a great way to increase website traffic.
Increase sales: Just as John Reese, Mike Filsaime and many others have found, adding a short web site video to your sales page -- or even having no sales page, just the web video -- is a very effective route to better conversion rates. John Reese actually recorded a three-fold increase in business by adding web video to an already strongly performing and established sales page, proving beyond doubt webvideo is a simple and effective way to increase sales.
Internet branding: There's hardly anyone in the western world who hasn't heard of Donald Trump, even if you are not remotely interested in real estate, playing golf, staying in a hotel or drinking designer water.
Why is that?
Simply because Donald "You're fired" Trump understands the sheer compelling power of video in building his brand. So, watch his "Apprentice" program and, right from the start your senses are drawn in by the catchy "money, money, money" music and the sight of Mr T climbing the steps into his private jet with the word "Trump" emblazoned in Gold on the Black fuselage, followed by the sight of the Trump helicopter lifting off, for another successful mission.
Then, throughout the show, there are more subtle touches of branding. For example, the regular homily on business tactics. And what is that leading to? Trump University and all those books on business success by Donald Trump.
On one show, the contestants had to sell water. But not just any old water, because it was "Trump Ice" water with the mug shot of you know who on the label and on the side of the very large truck.
J. Paul Getty once heard the phrase, "The meek shall inherit the Earth" to which he added the caveat: "But not the mineral rights".
So if you want to increase website traffic, increase sales and build your brand, go here right away and get started:web_site_video

Web Video -- Why Should You Bother?
Because there are over 400 million reasons to bother with web video. That's the number of people who can currently receive web video, either via cable or high speed, broadband telephone connections.
So that's 400 million potential customers who are all conditioned to watching TV and playing video games.
And – apart from the fact that your potential customers will far more readily watch a webvideo than read a sales page – there's a lot more going for you when you use web video in place of a regular text and still picture web site.
It's long been known video is a marketer's dream come true. We humans are all social creatures and to be able to see someone speaking to us and see moving pictures -- all enhanced with suitable music -- touches us right in the sweet spot of our emotions. And it is a well established fact people buy with their emotions.
So the key to make sales -- lots of them -- is to work on your prospect's emotions.
But here's the best bit: the language of the emotional part of the brain is pictures -- not words. Can you see now why web video is so effective?
So, when you use video, instead of just text and still pictures, to persuade people to send you money, you are greatly increasing your chances of getting more visitors to come to your web site, when they have seen your video on YouTube or Google, and dramatically increasing your chances of many more sales – as some respected marketers have already discovered.
I'm sure you have heard of John Reese. He's probably one of the most respected internet marketers around, and he's particularly noted for his meticulous testing.
He recently conducted a remarkable experiment. He took an already top performing sales page, with its regular long sales page, shortened the text and replaced it with a web video.
The results were dramatic, to say the least, because he recorded a trebling of his sales, due entirely to adding video!
To make sure this wasn't some fluke, he then created videos for some of his other sales pages and, in every case, he recorded increases in business.
Nor is he alone in this because equally well known marketer, Mike Filsaime, has also experienced dramatic increases in sales with web video. In seven days, he sold $100,000 worth of product, simply using a web video.
Following on from this, he then used video in the launch of his Seven Figure Code product, achieving sales of $15million in just one week.
You can see from this that adding video to your marketing bag of tricks is the one thing you can do right now that will give you the biggest bang for your buck.
In fact, you can get started without spending a nickel, because I'm giving you a FREE multi-media course you can download right away, showing you some good, reliable software you can use to create a video, virtually on autopilot. Then I'll show you how to load it up to YouTube and Google for a welcome flood of free, quality traffic to your website: Web_Video
