Using Jing Videos for Training or Answering Questions

Often it is easier to show someone how to do something rather than to write about it or try to explain it. That is why I just LOVE creating quick videos with Jing (http://www.jing.com ). It is very easy to learn how to use and you can be creating videos in no time!


I've been using the Free version which limits you to 5 minute videos. They will host the videos or you can save them and post them to your own website, YouTube or email them to clients or others. Once you've created your video, make sure to name it so you can re-use it again later.


There is a Pro version of Jing for about $15 per year. You can also do a screen shot instead of a video. Here is a sample of a Jing video I created about 2 sided items in QuickBooks: http://screencast.com/t/zvU0HzyhvSf

This can be an effective marketing method to demonstrate your skills, knowledge and training abilities. You may get clients from people who watch your videos. So, get started with Jing and you'll see that 'a picture is worth a thousand words' and your clients and others will love it!
