Secure Amazon S3 Videos For Free

If you are a member of the Warrior Forum you may have recently seen a plugin advertised that secures your Amazon hosted files against copying & downloading. I bought this plugin and it does a great job.

However, if you missed the offer or didn’t know it existed then here is a site that lets you secure your S3 video files for free…

Bill Myers Online  The service is free to use and as you can see below the instructions for use are easy to follow.

Instructions:

1. Upload your video (or in the case of Camtasia Studio, the entire folder which contains your Camtasia output files) to your Amazon S3 folder or any folder on the web.
2. If uploading to Amazon S3, edit the ACL for the video folder and set ‘Read’ to ‘Everyone’
3. Enter the full url of the video or the page that displays the video into the form below. If displaying Camtasia videos, enter the full url of the html page Camtasia created to display your video
4. Enter the height and width of the video into the form below – if the video has controls, pad the width by 5 pixels and the height by 25 pixels.
5. Click ‘Create Protection Script’
6. Copy the code that is created and paste it on your web page where you wish your video to appear

It’s a useful resource to keep handy – enjoy!

Find Your Files Faster

My hard drive on this laptop alone is 500 gig of which just over 300 gig is used so that means there are tens of thousands of files stored.

I have all my downloads in a separate folder which I have categorized the best way I can.. I was even naive enough to by a WSO which was able to sort out all my files and make them so easy to find when needed, It was only after buying that I realized I had to enter each file manually first. This defeated the object as it would have probably taken me years to do.

The Windows 7 search function does do the job but it brings up hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of what I would call unrelated entries and more to the point it takes ages to do this.

Once again I researched the net for a program to make this easier and I came across a free program called ‘Everything‘ by Voidtools.com (strange name but it’s a valid site).
Everything is a free tiny (only 334kb) search engine installed on your system that searches your computer almost instantly.. It listed every file on my C drive in under 10 seconds. The beauty of this program is it will also search any external hard drive, usb memory cards or in fact any media which has been formatted with the NFTS system (almost every drive under 7 yrs old will use this format, from XP to Win7)

It picks up all media added automatically and you can also instruct it to ignore drives too. It will search for specific folders, files, extensions or any type you want. The options on how results are displayed can be totally customized.

There is a full FAQ Here relating to the program

Take a look, give it a try and I bet you never go back to your normal means of searching.

Happy searching!

A Great PayPal Tip

Have you ever wondered how to customize your PayPal payment page to show your own header or logo? I added my own logo but because my image was not stored on a secure site (https://) a warning box showed up every time to say that my site was insecure. As you can imagine I found this a worry as many customers could take the warning as some type of scam, so I had a look around my many resource sites to see if there was a way to bypass the https requirement and cutting the cost of paying for an ssl certificate.

Lo and behold I found such a way which works, perfectly legal and above all  very easy to implement.
Firstly.. Create a text message or logo or whatever you want as a banner, the banner can be any size up to a maximum of 750px wide by 90px high, save as a jpg and follow the instructions below:

Upload your image to a https hosting company.. I prefer SSLPic, firstly because they have a no-nonsense interface which doesn’t require you to create a user account and secondly because it is from the reliable e-junkie . It also provides you with the stats regarding how many times people have clicked on your ‘Buy-Now’ buttons.

After uploading your image and giving an email address you will receive a link via email with the address your image is located at.

To add this to your payment page

Log into PayPal account > Click on ‘Profile’. On the right hand side, you will find ‘Selling Preferences’  box. Click on ‘Custom Payment Pages’ link.

The next page is ‘custom payment page styles’ (your image). From this page, you can Add, Edit, Preview, and Remove page styles, as well as make any page style your Primary style. By default ‘PayPal’ page style is the primary style. You may add up to 3 page styles. To add a page style click on ‘Add’ button.

On the next page, you can fill your custom settings. Give a unique name to the ‘Page Style Name’ box. The next edit box asks for the ‘Header image URL’. This is the most tricky part, in the next point you will understand why.

Get the URL link which was mailed to you from  SSLPic and place it inside the ‘Header Image URL’ box.
If you wish you can change the header background color, header border color and background color. I prefer having the header colors same as my logo. If you find difficulty in getting the exact hex code of your header, try Instant Eye Dropper

Click the Save button, Now you have two options, either make this style as a default primary style or leave it as it is. If you choose to make it as primary, all your button payment pages will get default settings as you have defined above.

On the other hand, if your PayPal account is used for more than one online business, you may want to leave it as it is and choose the settings on a button by button basis (Different logos for different sites you own for example)

Click on your PayPal button preview. You should be able to see the new header style for your PayPal payment page.

That’s it… simple, free and a very effective way of making your website payment method look extremely professional.

I’ve tried to make the instructions as clear as possible but if you have any problems just leave a comment below and I’ll try to help further.

Three Ways Of Building Your List

Everyone talks about the fact that ‘the money is in the list’ and it is perfectly true. You might not however have a clue about how to actually start building your list and that’s where this article comes in.

Before you start you’ll need a few basics in place. You will need a product to give away for free, a squeeze page (a page on the internet where people enter their name and email address and join your list in return for the freebie) and an autoresponder account such as Aweber.

Got those? Ok, here are three ways of building your list…

• WSOs

I know many people have used this to great effect and it is a great way to kickstart your list building. To do this you must be in the internet marketing niche and if you are I highly recommend it as a starting point. The Warrior Forum is an internet business discussion forum and the WSO section is a special place where members can advertise special offers to other forum members. The beauty of it is that the people who view your ad are going to be highly targeted and let me tell you now this place gets a LOT of traffic. Stick your free offer on there and as long as it’s a decent product you should see the first people joining your list within minutes of posting your ad.

• Adswaps

Once you’ve got a small list (I would say of at least 100 people) then you can move on to adswaps. The concept is pretty simple – you find someone else who would be willing to mail your offer to their list in return for you doing the same for them. You’ll either need to find someone with a similar size list or agree to mail more than once. Adswaps are free but are a highly effective way of building your list.

• Solo ads

A solo ad is when you pay someone else to send a broadcast email out to their list advertising your product. It is called a solo ad because the single purpose of the email will be to advertise your product. The key with this, as it is with adswaps, is to choose advertising partners carefully. You need to make sure that the list your are placing your solo advertisement with has subscribers who will be interested in your freebie. If they aren’t then they are not going to be joining your list any time soon…
