I use lots of different tools for my web & graphic design business, but one tool that really cuts out a lot of extra work for me is Snag-it. In case you’re not familiar with it I’ll include some of the highlights of this really cool tool.

What it does is allow you to capture anything on your screen. From one small area to a whole scrolling web page. Not only that bit you can also edit your captured image using the very slick built-in image editor. Once you’ve edited your image you can save it in the format of your choice allowing you to create and share high-quality screen captures for your presentations, documents and blogs.

Snagit is the only screen capture software available that has five different capture modes and over 40 different ways to copy text, videos, images, and website content, …right from your computer screen!

This is one very highly recommended tool!

Most people also recognize that there is real work involved when it comes to marketing products & services online. So much so, that a person can become easily lost in the ‘Information Overload’ stages of starting an online business. The experts are saying to outsource as much as you possibly can to avoid being ‘chained down’ to your PC, and they’re right! I know this first-hand, I spent 3 years trying to become proficient at every aspect of Internet Marketing and it brought me nowhere.

Some people tend to try and learn how to be good in all areas of Online Marketing and it’s a HUGE mistake! My point is this, you need to hire people to do things for you that you’re not very good at, or have little knowledge of, rather than trying to learn how it’s done. This will save you loads of time to focus on doing the activities that will bring in revenue.

Now I specialize in one area, E Covers & Mini Site Graphic Design

It’s what I truly enjoy the most! E Covers & Mini Site Graphic Design can be tedious and very time consuming if you don’t know very much about how it all works. The very best graphics software is Photoshop™. It’s learning curve is about as steep as it gets. I want you to know that you don’t need to learn Photoshop™, if you start today it will take you months to figure out how to use all the features it comes with. Literally months!!!

And for what?

Just so you don’t have to hire someone like me? I’m here to tell you that you would be a fool to purchase Photoshop™ just to avoid paying a professional.

Want to know why?
Please let me tell you why…

1. The cost alone is $649.00 US. For a copy of Photoshop™
2. It will take you literally months to figure out how it works to the point where your work would even compare to a professionals work. This is time better spent learning how to market your products and/or services.
3. Creating graphics is time consuming even when you know what you’re doing. All the while, time is quickly passing you by.
4. It would be easier and less expensive, in the long run, to hire someone else to do it.

You should seriously consider paying a few measly bucks and putting your time to better use marketing your products or services, list building, building joint venture partnerships, etc…

People WILL Judge A Book By It’s Cover

Sorry for the cliché. It’s absolutely 100% true! Selling E-Books or Software with words alone is very difficult unless you surround your project with an attractive graphics package that’s appealing to your prospective buyers.

This is what I do full time, I specialize in designing high quality E Covers & Mini Site Graphic Designs that will help you sell your E Books, Software, Membership Websites, Audio and/or Video products.

Outsourcing your minisite graphics will save you time and money in the long run because you can concentrate on more important areas of your business.
