This week’s Member Training webinar took a strategic detour that is bound to make you more money… no matter what the economy is doing.  You signed up for a hub site because you have sales and marketing goals you’d like to achieve online.  But maybe you’re still unclear on EXACTLY how your Hub Site can help you achieve them in a fraction of the time it would take you wrangling with independent tools, technology and software.

Watch the hot seat critiques below and learn as JP Micek critiques three member sites below.  Remember: think laterally, not literally.  Even if the sites covered aren’t in your niche, think of ways that the strategies used can be applied to your own industry.

The Quan$ite™ Click-n-Drag Page Designer makes it quick & easy to design attractive, high-converting landing and sales pages. If you can push a button, click & drag a box, and type — you can design powerful landing pages that motivate visitors to take action. AND you’ll save hundreds of dollars that would have went to a designer; or save hours of coding you would have had to do yourself.

Using the Click-n-Drag Page Designer with your Marketing PRO pages is just like customizing your Hub Site home page (covered in a separate webinar video here.) But there are some extra tricks and tips to laying out a highly effective landing page or sales page with this powerful editor.

NOTE: At the time of recording, the Share My Video drop down (noted at 8:53 on the timeline) contained a description field within the drop down. The field has since been moved to the General area of the New Media PRO Video module, right below the title field.  The strategy JP outlines in the video for the description field still applies.

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 “Site Design Center” » “Header Editor”.

What is the Header Image Editor?

The header can be one of the most important aspects of your site. Whether you want to include a great header image, or simple add something extra, Quan$ite™ makes this a fairly simple process.

How to use the Quan$ite™ Header Image Editor

If you’re including a Header Image, use the File Manager to upload the image you’d like to use.

The settings on the right-hand side will determine if you’re using the “Default” header or a “Custom” header; and whether you’d like to create your header in “Visual Editor” (aka WYSIWYG) or “Text Editor”.

Modifying the existing custom header

We highly recommend when you first start creating your custom header, you select the “Text Editor” and remove all the code that is in the current “custom” header.

The custom header provided is simply a green box with text in it. If you’d like to keep the box, but change the background color, place your cursor within the “Custom Header” box, right-click and select “Table Properties”.

In the new window that opens, select the “Advanced” tab. Toward the bottom you’ll notice the “Border Color” and “Background Color”. Either paste the HTML color code within the box, or click the color swatch to open a “color-chooser” to change the color. NOTE: your pop-up blocker MUST be turned off for this to work. Click on “Update” and your header box should have the color you selected.

Inserting a custom image header

If you’re inserting an *image header in the Visual Editor, place your cursor within the editor box, then click the “Tree icon” which you will use to insert images. A small window will open.

* Note: If you’d like to add a custom image header, we offer Quan$ite members this design service service. If you don’t have a graphic designer on your team and are interested in a custom image header, please submit a request for more information on this customization service via the Quan$ite support desk.

Under the General tab, enter the complete image URL of your image (which you can get from the “File Information” area within your “File Manger”, a good keyword-rich description of your image, and a strong keyword-rich Title.

Under the Appearance tab you can set the alignment. You’ll see a little “display” sample of what the alignment is like. If you want text to “wrap around” your image, this is where you would set that. (For your header image, don’t use this option unless your image is just a small portion of your new header.) You’ll also set the size of your image here. Keep the “Constrain proportions” checked in order to keep your image proportioned correctly.

In the Advanced tab you’ll be able to create a “mouse-over” effect if you’d like by selecting the “Alternative image” checkbox and adding the alternate image URL in the appropriate box.

HELPFUL HINT: If you notice that your new custom header is pushing itself far to the right, enter a line break just above your new header code. < br > (take out the spaces)

The following video tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the process outlined above.
