Have you ever considered using video in your practice and engagements... but thought it would be too costly, or too difficult?

Today, you can can take high-quality pictures and sound, using an affordable digital camcorder that is point-and-shoot easy to use. And free software already on your PC can transform your raw footage into business-quality videos for presentations, training, marketing... and even for sale as a profitable product.

A key goal of this program is to give you HANDS ON EXPERIENCE! Two pre-workshop "homework" assigment will help you prepare. Then, during the workshop, you'll script and storyboard a one-minute promotional video for your own practice, geared to welcome visitors to your web site. And you'll work with your fellow class members to actually shoot, edit, and post a couple such videos.

As you do, you'll learn the proven 4-step process the professionals use. We'll present and demonstrate NINE NIFTY NOTIONS: ways that you might apply this exciting new technology to start producing your own business video projects, using tools you already own, for just a few bucks.

To maximize your value, you'll take home a 30 page workbook, plus a coupon for a free one-on-one consultation to help you plan and execute your first project.

About three weeks later, you'll receive a free DVD of the presentation. And with it will be a second coupon, for half off the regular fee if you choose to use IDEA to help you co-produce a larger video project.

For just $79 -- $59 for IMC Members -- you'll get...
