I hope your Labor Day was a relaxing one! Our family caught up and got ready for school, new opportunities at work, and each other.

I have a few great tips for you this week. First off is a VERY inexpensive Lavaliere microphone. See the review/demo (video) here:

The price of this is outrageous and it actually works very well. If you are looking for better audio than your on-camera microphone is giving you - check out the video.

Next up is a free magazine - Event DV. Lots of great info - for free to qualified individuals:

I read Event DV from cover to cover each month. It is full of great tips and articles on the latest gear.

Another great tool for you to check out is BlogTV.com. BlogTV allows you to broadcast live. Create your own show and let the world watch at BlogTV.com

I am very excited about this next item! I am putting the final touches on a new DVD set entitled "10 Days to your How To DVD". The set will take you step by step, day by day, and walk you through everything you need to produce your How To DVD - THE EASY WAY!

Let's face it - we are all busy, we all want to produce something, there are a lot of moving parts. With my DVDs, you will be able to follow along each day and "DO" the step required of you that day. Using templates, and examples - nothing is left to chance.

Here is a run down of the lessons:

Day 1 - Select Your Tools

Day 2 - Pick Your Topic

Day 3 - Script Your Production

Day 4 - Pre-Production

Day 5 - Shoot!

Day 6 - Edit

Day 7 - Author DVD

Day 8 - Duplicate DVD

Day 9 - Online Video

Day 10 - Market Your Video

Members will get a huge discount as always.

I also wanted you to be aware of a Skype bug. It seems that there is a virus going around that sends out messages via Skype (that look like they came from a friend) and when you click on the link - you get a message asking you to download a scr file. DO NOT download this file! It is a virus. I have had a few come through today and luckily I didn't download it.

Stay Tuned...
