Below is the video recording of the webinar where we covered the New Media PRO Instant Video Converter feature, the new auto video distribution option and associated Q&A. Since the webinar went 60-minutes we’ve broken it down into three segments below.

Part 1: Instant Video Converter & player auto-embed feature overview

Part 2: Auto video distribution to top 20 video sharing sites on the web

Part 3: Q&A on the Instant Video Creator & auto video distribution features

Since this webinar was captured using Camtasia,you cannot hear the questions JP is being asked in the recording. There are five parts to this Q&A outlined below so you can follow along.

0:00 – 3:33 REVIEW: New training video updates in your Quan$ite Admin Panel

3:34 – 6:43 Q&A: Do you need to sign up for each of the video sharing sites you want to automatically distribute to through HeySpread?

6:44 -11:46 Q&A: When I embed a YouTube video in a Quan$ite post, it looks like it is there but when I preview or publish the post it doens’t show at all. Why is that happening?

11:47 – 14:39 Q&A: I used the Quan$ite New Media PRO Instant Video creator one time and my video did not show. What did I do wrong? Why does my video upload and convert but not show in the work area of my Admin Panel?

14:40 – End Q&A: How many views can I figure on my videos before I exceed the bandwidth included in my standard Quan$ite membership?

From your Dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Users” » “Your Profile.”

This is the first step will be personalizing your Quan$ite™ Hub Site.

You’ll enter your email address, your name, and change your password if you’d like.

1. You can change set your preference as to whether you use the Visual Editor, Click & Drag Editor or the Code Editor in the “Create” section to write blog posts or pages.
2. Add your name.
3. Edit your preferred email address
4. Add your website address. If your Quan$ite site is a “secondary” domain for you, adding your main domain here would be appropriate.
5. Change your dashboard password if you want to.
6. Once the initial settings have been saved, you can determine the name that will be used as the “Author” for blog posts and pages. You must select “Update Profile” BEFORE setting this option and again once this option is set.

From your dashboard, go to From your Dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Marketing Settings” » “SEO Title Tag”

In this section you can optimize your site even further by specifying a new “Title Tag” for your blog’s home page, and deciding whether or how your Site Name should be included in Title Tags throughout your site.

These options are already pre-set for optimal performance in the Quan$ite™ system

From your dashboard, go to From your Dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Your Site Settings” » “Privacy”

The only options on this page have to do with the visibility of your site. You can either allow all visitors, human and “spider” alike, or block the “spiders” from crawling your site.

If you are Blogging for Business, you don’t want to block the search engines from entering your site.

From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Blogging Settings” »”Reading”.

In this area, you will create options on how your visitors will view your site.

Front Page: The default setting is to show a list of your most recent posts.  There may be times when you’d prefer a single page or post be your main Blog Page.   You can select that page here.

Blog Pages: How many articles should be listed on a single page?  We recommend you don’t change this setting.

Syndication Feeds: How many recent posts should be shown in RSS Directories and other Feed Syndications?  Should they show the full article or just a portion of the article?  We recommend using the “Full Text” option and ALWAYS including an “author tag” within each post to protect your content.

The other settings should NOT be changed.

From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Blogging Options” » “Writing”.

In this area you will be setting up your various “writing” options.

In the first section you’ll decide:

1. The size of your “post box” (the box where you actually write your posts and blog pages)
2. Formatting options, converting emoticons and correcting invalidly nested coding
3. Your default “category” for your post articles
4. Your default “category” for links

All these options can remain as they are.

Post via Email:

On occasion you may be on the road or at a conference and while you have a quick second, you want to post something on your site.  The email option will allow you to do that.  You’ll need all the server information to input, and a “private” email address to use just for posting.

Update Services:

This area contains all the RSS Directories that the service will automatically notify whenever you hit the “publish” button.  (These are unlike the Social Bookmarking sites as you don’t need an account).

The list is already populated for you, but should you happen to delete it, you can just copy this list and paste it into that area:

From your dashboard, “System Options” » “Your Site Settings” » “General Options”

This is where you’ll set your site’s profile.

Blog Title: Enter a keyword-rich site name. (This can be different than the actual site domain).

Tagline: Enter a keyword rich tag-line that will appeal to your Tribe.

Both the “Title” and “Tagline” are used in various directories and external websites, so having these be keyword relevant is extremely important to your success.

WordPress and Blog address (URL): This is automatically set for you as: http://yourdomain.com/blog. Do NOT change this setting as it will throw off your entire site. Themes will not work, articles will not be shown, AND you will not be able to log back into your dashboard.

E-mail Address: Enter the email for the website contact person.

Membership: You have the option of allowing people to “register” on your website, and require them to be registered prior to posting.  These settings are completely optional. If this is something you’d like to enforce, check the boxes, otherwise leave them blank. Just a note on this… by requiring registration to your site prior to posting anything, you may be turning off many visitors that would otherwise participate. Also, by checking on “Anyone can register”, you may notice random users showing up into your User list with no idea who they are.

UTC Time is: Here you will set your time zone to reflect where you are in the world.

The remaining settings are time and date display.  These are already set for you.

From your dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Marketing Settings” » “Subscription Icons”

Your RSS Subscription icons will be displayed in the sidebar of your blog site where you have placed the RSS 1 Widget. These icons allow visitors to subscribe to your blog through an RSS reader service.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for “Real Simple Syndication.” In basic terms, your RSS Feed is a back-end function that sends your content to your users or various RSS Directories or services.

RSS Subscription Icons

This section allows you to set up various channels for your visitors to subscribe to your content through RSS rather than email.

Display using: select how you want these icons to show on your site.
“Icon on each line” and “No line breaks” generally create the same listing look. “HTML List” creates the icons into a bulleted list.

Put in Meta Section: Would you like your subscription icons to display in the Meta Data Widget of your sidebar?  As we recommend you don’t use this widget, we also recommend you don’t select this option.

Display icons for: Select the icons you’d like to display. The default setting has all icons selected. This is completely up to you if you’d like to leave it this way or not. While RSS is not a widely used form of receiving news and updates, it is growing in popularity. Some niches use these more than others. At a bare minimum we recommend providing at least a few of the RSS Subscription buttons for your readers.

From your dashboard, go to “System Settings” » “Blogging Settings” » “Backups.”

This function allows you to take the extra precautionary step of backing up all your posts, comments, etc.

Tables:  The base tables are backed up automatically, but if there are extra sections you’d like to include in your backup, you would make those selections here.

Backup Options: When you’re ready to create a backup of your site, you can elect to either download the backup or have it emailed to you.

Scheduled Backup: If you’d like your database backed up on a regular basis, you can create a backup schedule and have your backup files emailed to you on a consistent basis.

From your Dashboard, go to “System Options” » “Blogging Settings” » “Discussion”

This is where you will set up your discussion options for accepting comments within your blog. Most of these settings will remain unchanged, although this is completely up to your personal preference.

1. Usual Settings for An Article: This section determines the default settings for your blog posts. These can be changed on an individual post basis within the “Create” » “Write Post” section. The main box here we recommend you leave unchecked is the first one “Attempt to notify any weblogs…” This will slow down the system and doesn’t do much for you that the other aspects of the Quan$ite™ system doesn’t already do.
2. Email me Whenever: The email settings determine when you’d like to be notified. Do you want to know every time someone posts a comment? Do you want to be notified when a comment is being held for moderation? Determine those settings here.
3. Before A Comment Appears: Here you’ll determine when a comment will appear. Do you want to approve every comment that comes in? Do you want to require visitors to leave their name and email before they leave a comment? If a visitor has left a comment before, do they need your approval again?

NOTE: The name and email requirement here is not the same as user registration. While this function may actually turn people away from commenting or leaving fictitious information, by having this option set, you’re allowing the “Comment Relish” portion of the Quan$ite™ system to work for you.
NOTE: Comment moderation is automatically disabled right now due to the use of Spam Karma 2. Spam Karma 2 (SK2) is used for filtering 99% of potential comment spam from your blog.
