My favorite group of guinea pigs!!! I made a quick screen capture tutorial explaining how to download the HTML code from TTConnect (Tasty Tidbits subscriber interface) and paste it into iContact.

Please don't everyone crash my server at once, but if you have some time, will take a look and see if it is explanatory enough? There is a glitch at the end where the screen goes red for the last 10 seconds but I think it's mostly good. It's about 3 minutes long.... Thanks!!

I am hoping this will help those who are wanting to use iContact but are afraid it will be too "technical". I am planning to make additional videos for exporting contacts, importing contacts, navigating and understanding the tracking reports, etc. So whaddaya think?? :)
 
Sounds cool Joy. I'm tired though - maybe tomorrow I'll give it a whirl for you.
 
Looked great Joy! I imagine that will be very helpful for those unsure of how to work iContact. The only thing, in some parts I had a difficult time hearing you. This could have been in part due to my computer, though I did have the volume turned all the way up. Great idea though!

Thanks! I will wind up re-doing it anyway so I can get rid of that red at the end... I will have to dig up a headset/microphone to pick up the sound better. Funny -- I had my sound down all the way during playback and it was LOUD!
 
Lol, like i said it may be my pc. When it comes to online, some things come through loud and clear, others i really have to strain my ears!
 
Do you guys find that when you use something like iContact that your customers get messages like the red one that pops up in hotmail saying that the attachment could have a virus, blah blah blah??? My sister consultant sends me hers each month, and even though i have her in my contact list and all it still gives me that message since her's isn't sent just like a normal email, she uses either iContact or Constant Contact (?).

Just curious as it might help me but don't want people to get scared or not be able to open it!
