YouTube Playlist Set Up
If you have a YouTube Channel, chances are you have picked and saved some of the videos you have viewed to a playlist.
I have too except I never categorized my videos, I just dumped them into a general playlist without any discrimination between music and marketing or anything for that matter.
In the video I made I show how you can create a list of playlists that are organized by keyword.
I finally figured out how to video the update of the Screenflow 3.0 Callout Properties.
Video Inside a Video
I had to video a video in order to demonstrate how the new Callout features worked because Callouts only activate on a pre-taped screen capture.
That means I did a video in Screenflow ( I didn’t import a video from my video camera) and than pulled a Pirandello… I made a video from inside a video!
Classic Callout (Circle effect) Mouse Cursor
Anyway…I show how the classic Callout works as a circle effect you can magnify and resize.
Freehand Callouts
And then I show how the new freehand feature works to let you draw a square/rectangle instead of a circle.
There is also a spotlight circle cursor that lets you draw a path you want to highlight. And I show how it works.
ForeGround Window
The only thing I didn’t demo is the Foreground Window Callout since I couldn’t figure out what to use it for.
Once I figure that out, I’ll make a video to demo that feature.
So take in the video and have a go at Screenflow 3.0 Callout Properties.
Stay with it, stay well and talk soon.
PS. This is a great piece of software so click here to buy it and enjoy making really cool videos.

A Look At Google
I just read In The Plex by Steven Levy. It’s the story of Google and much more.
Whatever you think of Google, this book gives you a great insight into how the company came about, how it thinks and how it operates.
If you are in Internet Marketing or Affiliate Marketing this is important because it makes you aware of the depth of talent and competence behind the machine.
It saved me some time, effort and money when I was watching a video for a product I am certain the engineers at Google will most certainly nail when they find it.
Take a look at the video if you haven’t already and get yourself a copy of the book.
It will put things into perspective and I think will help you make better decisions in growing your online business.
Stay with it, Stay well and talk soon.
If you want to use YouTube for marketing, then the YouTube Browse tab in the main menu bar is something you should look at.
I have a series of marketing videos with plenty of YouTube tips on my YouTube Channel, ClaudePelanne.
Don’t forget to use the search box in the upper right of the channel, type in YouTube Marketing and you’ll see the videos appear.
The video above this post will take you through the Browse function in YouTube.
Tip 1
It’s great because it allows you to drill down in the category of your selection.
You can choose between videos, music, movies, trailers, and live streaming shows.
Just take you pick and then on the landing page hit the category button and start searching.
Tip 2
When you get to the first page after your subcategory selection, look for a more info link and click it.
This will take you down to more subcategories in your area. In my video we chose Sports and found videos on sports I would never have guessed would have anything on YouTube.
Tip 3
When you get to the subcategory you want click it and see how many videos appear.
Go through any or all and make sure you click the “more info” on the description box to see what keywords and tags are being used. They can give you ideas for what you can use when you broaden you reach in your niche research.
YouTube Browse Marketing Conclusion
The Browse function can be used as a marketing research and niche research tool to give ideas about material to cover and keywords to select as you develop your own website or your own product to sell.
So take a look at my video and make sure you give it a “like” or a “+One”, that would be greatly appreciated.
That’s it. Stay with it, stay well and talk soon.
In the video I show how to use the annotations feature in ScreenFlow 3.0
Media Tab
I start the video with a recap of importing media using the media tab functions.
Text Tab
I also do a quick recap of how to insert text in a lower third position on the screen using the text tab function
Annotations Tab
I then go into the annotation tab and show what the arrow, line, filled square, open square and circle look like and how you can modify them.

I made video 2 to show the two functions of the Media Properties tab.
The first is a button at the bottom of the Media Properties box that lets you import media ( videos, photos, audio files).
The other lets you select your record functions.
I show how to import videos from your computer, or anywhere else for that matter.
I just upgraded my screen capture tool ScreenFlow to the latest version 3.0.
It has some very interesting and new features. For example under the files drop down you now have a New Empty Document function that opens a new screenflow document Main Window.
Remember how you use to have to record something to open a new document? Well the New Empty Document selection means you don’t have to do that any more.
When you load in a video into the channel below the timeline you can right click the channel and select to separate the audio and it automatically sends the audio to new channel below.

There is a great way to get started that costs you absolutely nothing and it is called The Challenge.
The Challenge with Ed Dale
It is a program offered by Ed Dale, Dan Raine, Robert Somerville (better known as Guru Bob) and it is designed for the beginner who is looking to build a business online.
Now there are many programs that are great and I am going to do a series of reviews of the ones I have taken and continue to use.
But The Challenge is the very first one I took back in August of 2008 ( it was called The 30 Day Challenge back then) that I found the most helpful in getting to understand this thing called Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing.
Early Bird Whiteboard
In the first video reviewing Affiliate Summit East, I mentioned the early bird whiteboard that I thought was a real gem for attendees to take in.
It started at 8 am on Monday and Tuesday and was a really great session critiquing web sites and offering really helpful information.
It was run by Eric Nagel, but there were other knowledgeable people in the room who were experts in their own right so that made for some very good feedback.
But there were a couple of other really good resources.
