getting hold of it will see that your site has quality content and are much more
likely to join.

How to Create Audio Content
To create audio for your paysite, you must first create
an MP3 audio file. An MP3 file will be compatible with
most visitor s systems.
It doesn t take a lot of expensive equipment to make an
audio recording. In fact you can create one with no
equipment by recording a phone interview or tele-seminar. Just go to
www.FreeConferenceCall.com . When you use their free service you will get an
MP3 recording of your call.
If you are a Skype (www.skype.com) user, you can do an interview and record
the call using free software from www.prettymay.net.
It you want to record yourself without using a telephone then you will need
recording software. I use Sony s SoundForge, but you can use the free audio
recording and editing package WavePad (www.nch.com.au/wavepad).
There is also a free audio editor called Audacity that you can download at
http://audacity.sourceforge.net. If you use Audacity you will need to also
download the MP3 plug-in at
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
To record your own voice you will need a microphone.
The higher the quality the better, but you can start with
a headset-microphone combo that are sold at almost any
store with a computer department including Walmart.
For best quality, select one that is USB instead of one
that uses the analog mic jack on your computer. You
should be able to find one for under $50.
Plug your microphone into the USB jack, load up your
audio recording software and you are ready to begin.
Before you start, turn off anything around you that is
creating noise like your air conditioner, any nearby
equipment that has a cooling fan, or a television in the
next room.

Most recording software works the same, simply press the record button, begin
speaking, and then click stop when you are done.
If you make a mistake, simply re-speak the part you messed up on, then when
you are done, simply chop out the part where you made the mistake.
To give your recording a more professional touch, you can add bumper music to
the beginning and the end of your recording. You can find a variety of free
music at RoyaltyFreeMusic.com.
You can use your sound editing software to add the bumper music to the
beginning and the end.
Save your sound file as an MP3 file and you are finished with creating the sound
file that can be used for audio on your paysite.

Tools to Create Video Content
Creating video for your site today is easy compared to several years ago. There
are a number of easy to use tools available, many of them are free.
Creating Video is a huge topic, to large to cover in this manual. If you don t
already know how to create video for the web, I would recommend that you
outsource the work. But if you would like get started learning I ll cover the
basics and show you some tools to get you started.
Creating Video without a Camera
The easiest way to create video is to create a screencast also known as a screen
capture. You can record what you are doing on your computer screen as you
speak into a microphone. It s a simple way to create a tutorial or to walk the
viewer through a process.
The best product on the market is Camtasia Studio, and you can download a free
trial copy at http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp. There is a similar product
that is 100% free and can be found at http://camstudio.org.
Creating Video with a Video Camera
The best way to get started shooting video for the web is to start with a miniDV
camera. Most miniDV cameras have a firewire output (IEEE 1394) so you can
plug them directly into any computer with a firewire port and capture the video
that you have shot. Many electronic stores now have miniDV cameras as low as
$200.
To capture and edit video, you will need video editing software. Windows comes
with a free editor called MovieMaker, and most apple systems come with a free
video editor called iMovie.
If you want a editing system with more bells and whistles, I would recommend
Sony Vegas for Windows. There is also programs like Adobe Primere for
Windows that will do a lot more, but Sony Vegas is more user friendly and it s
basic functions can be picked up in just a few hours.
If you are using an Apple system, I would recommend Final Cut Pro.
Most video editing systems have built in capture software, so all you have to do
is plug your camera into the firewire port, load the video editor, then run the

capture program. After you have captured the video you can edit it and export it
to almost any format you wish.
Converting Video for the Web
Today, the standard for putting video on the web is Flash, since over 95% of all
internet users are using Flash enabled browsers. It s by far the most compatible
format.
However, most video editing systems can t export files to a flash format. So you
will need to use a Flash encoder. You can the Riva FLV Encoder free at
http://www.rivavx.com

Pricing and Payment Plans
What you should charge for your paysite will depend on a number of factors like
your market, your competition, and the content in your site.
If your market is more affluent then as a rule you can charge more. For
instance, you can charge more if your market is commodities investors than you
can if your market is school teachers looking for lesson plans.
There are lots of very successful sites that charge only $9.95 per month and
have thousands of members that never leave because it is so cheap to stay a
