Hope you had a wonderful week. We’ll be talking today about the actual creation process for your product. It’s been a busy time for me as I’ve been working on taking care of my Dad. If you have any questions, as always please don’t hesitate to send us a note.

Product Creation 101 – tools to create your products part 5
PDF’s – the easiest product to create. You can use Word or you can use Google Docs for free. You can check online for videos on how to create pdfs from those resources. Below is a link to one that explains how to create a pdf using Google Docs.

You can also find some great templates to use online. Try to use the same template for all of the pdfs in your course.
Videos – There are two different types of videos that you can use (three if you count a combination of the two).
Presentation videos – this is when you’re speaking to the camera, or are recording how you do something. A good example of this would be if you were teaching guitar lessons or how to play chess or something similar.
Screen Capture – if you need to capture the computer screen for what you’re doing, then you’ll need some software to help you do that.
A good comparison site for different products can be found here – http://screen-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Live Video – Live video can be used to teach almost anything. The great thing about the live video is you can save it and use it for other pieces of content. Again there are a number of different resources to use, the one I would suggest being Google Hangouts. You can find more details about how to use Google Hangouts here.
