What to Say When Recording Audio Clips or Video for Your Website

By: Amber Ludwig


Why should you add video to your website? Let me break it down into simple terms: you’ll make more money. The online world is something that requires some getting used to. Realize that in some ways we have to try even harder to prove ourselves vs. in the offline world. Why? Because visitor’s to your site don’t know you from Adam. They can’t look at you, talk to you, etc. – unless they call of course.

They need trust in you. A simple video will give them an instant idea of the type of person you are and the business you run. It will also give them a clearer idea of what to do on your site, and what to buy. Most people don’t read an entire sales letter or pitch – but they ARE more likely to follow the direction you give them in a video.

Is recording audio and video hard?

Step-by-Step Instructions for Recording Audio

By: Amber Ludwig


Audio and Video have become very popular on the Internet in the past few years. If you are just getting started on the Internet you should read this post carefully and record Audio to put on your website or blog today!

One of the tricky things about the Internet is that you have to try much harder to create a “human presence”. In traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, people could walk into a store and *see* you, get a sense of if you are a good businessperson or not. Do you see how that is more difficult to achieve online? Then you could even kick it up a notch and add your picture AND an Audio clip.

Audio is a great, FREE, way to add that presence. But, Audio is great for other things as well:

Recruiting Tips to Achieve Higher Show to Training than Company Average

By: Amber Ludwig


Another Vector WinDuring my 5 years at Vector I ran hundreds of 90 minute group interviews to thousands of people and loved it. I achieved a 20% higher show to training than the average for recruiters in the company. Somewhere along the way I learned the very core reasons that affect your interview to training conversion. It was beyond memorizing the 16 page interview and just doing it over and over, although that did have a role.

Below you will find my tips for recruiters.

 
The hope is that by implementing these very tips into your recruiting structure, you too can get 20% higher averages than the rest of the recruiters in your company.

A Preview of BySheSaid.com | Custom Rusted Metal Creations by Sharon Ludwig

By: Amber Ludwig


Sharon Ludwig has been a residential home builder and land developer for over 15 years. Although construction was truly a great passion while rearing her two beautiful daughters, Kimberly and Amber, Sharon continually received what she called “downloads” of creative artistic ideas. Although she incorporated many of these expressions in her projects, most were filed under “Creation Folder” on her computer.

As Life tends to provide exactly what we need albeit sometimes challenging for purposes of growth, the Sharon Ludwigreal estate market fell into its current doom and gloom condition. Consequently, Sharon at long last found herself with time on her hands, thus BySheSaid.com was born. Although the web site is currently under construction, “Gateway” a division of BySheSaid.com is well under way.

Beautiful rusted metal gates with subtle touches of stained glass and gentle aspects of Nature such as vines, leaves, and flowers are being created and installed with word traveling rapid fire. Each of Sharon’s creations hold a subtle esoteric message inviting the owner to reflect on the deeper meaning of Life. Other products by Gateway include light sconces, bath accessories and electrical plate covers for the home.
