Tech Forward:

Just in case you didn’t go sign up for my friend Jim Kukral’s online video toolkit when I suggested it a few weeks ago, he’s been featured in a handy how-to article over at Marketing Sherpa on how to get started with online video.

Part of what I do is write for a living (obviously), and this article is well-written and has straightforward, step-by-step directions for you if you’ve always wanted to get started using online video, but were nervous/scared/hesitant/lazy Whatcha’ waitin’ for?

My blogosphere buddy and internet marketer supreme, Jim Kukral, is doing a really nice thing for everyone who wants to experiment with web video but really doesn’t know where to start.

He’s just launched a website, Online Video Toolkit, that tells you all the things you need to know to make professional-quality videos on a shoestring–and how to use them to market your business.

Here’s why I say Jim’s nice (other than that I know him and know he really is a good guy): It’s all free. No cost. Nada. Zilchorina. There’s no catch, and you can win a FlipVideo camera.

I’ve gotten an advance peek at all the goodies he’s going to be giving away, and he really does go into the nitty gritty details, from lighting (which lights you need and where to buy them–he actually videos himself in the store making selections) to apparel (types of clothes to wear and which to avoid). Jim, where do you find the time?
