I've been recently getting more into the audio-visual stuff, and learning my way through programs like Camtasia- which is a great recording software. I have been using it to create videos for my clients, as well as to create videos for my assistants, as I train them in various aspects of my business.
Camtasia usually costs $299, which can be a reasonable investment, especially if you're not sure that you'll like doing video.
I got some information today that Techsmith, the makers of Camtasia, are offering Camtasia 3 for free, but only for a limited time. This is not the trial version, it is the full one.
Now, since I own the full version of Camtasia 5, which is the latest version, I haven't tested all the links, so please let me know if there are any problems.
I am offering part of the email message I received today from several marketers whom I respect. I wanted to pass this on to you so you could get a copy of Camtasia 3 for free- if video making is in your marketing plans. (And it should be!)
Here are the details:
TechSmith are making Camtasia Studio 3 available for FREE (For a limited time). Camtasia works with Windows 2000 and XP (NOT Vista)
This is for the full program, not a trial version.
To get your copy, just follow these steps:
1. Download the free trial version of Camtasia Studio 3 at:
http://download.techsmith.com/camtasiastudio/enu/312/camtasiaf.exe
2. Go to this promotion page, complete your name, country and e-mail address and TechSmith will send you the software key to unlock the program.

3. Just install the program you downloaded from step 1 above and then enter the software key you receive from Techsmith. Once completed, you'll have a full version of Camtasia 3 ready to go.
If you like Camtasia, you can then upgrade to Camtasia Studio 5 for $149. That's a savings of $150 over the full price of $299.
I hope this helps you in your video marketing efforts!
