Lights……Camera……ACTION!!!

by nigelyip on December 11, 2008

HEY Everyone,

I’m really happy today as I’ve managed to get my latest ebook out for you all to read, review and use. Those who have regulary been on my blog will know I’ve been mentioning about this during the past week. To be honest with you all, I really surprise myself here with this ebook as it took me less than 4 days to get it written, make the confimation and download pages as well as sorting out the ebook graphics myself.

Yes I know Alex will give me a big whack on the head for not using Divinity Design, but what was their website again as I couldn’t find them and google didn’t even list them. Plus, all the other sites I saw, they were asking hefty prices of $100 upwards.

Anyway, Moving swiftly on, has anyone checked out Dean’s eBook yet as I have, and it certainly puts my eBook to shame. For those who have not checked out Dean’s Blog IT ebook, I suggest you head over there and get it straight away once you’ve finished spending some time on my blog. Or you could go over there now and come back here after, it’s really up to you.

Why am I saying you should get Dean’s eBook and why it makes mine look so shameful? The reason is: it’s so professional written as the content within is top notch stuff, plus it’s so well planned, laid out and literally to put it – “Perfectly Executed” from start to finish. So grab it whilst you can!!!

Anyway, my ebook, “Lights… Camera…. Action…” well I won’s say much about it other than it’s my first attempt a writing an ebook in this particular style i.e. step by step guide sort of way and although I have written a few ebooks before, they were sort of more…. explaining a business ideas and how to operate it rather than relating to Tech Stuff.
Photobucket

So yeah, just fill in the form below, and grab my new latest ebooks.

Thanks Nigel!!!

PS: Remember to read the preview edition first and then the main edition afterwards.

Nigel,

I’ve just made a note to download your e-book and make a post about it on my blog in the next few days. Can I just say though that if you’re not happy with it, in comparison to Dean’s excellent work then you can simply revise it, send the revision to everyone on your list who has downloaded it and they will love the book, and you, all the more.

I am catching up with a few things over the next few days, but if you want I can look at the book with an editorial eye and make suggestions once I have it? Just let me know if you want me to do this.

While I have your attention can you do me a big favour? You have me listed in your blogroll at http://pebblesfromparadise.com but I would like my link to point to http://stephenbray.com

When you have a moment would you please amend the link for me?

With all good wishes, and very well done in getting an e-book out so soon.

Warm regards, your fellow student,

Steve

Hey Nigel,

You finished it! Well done mate.

I’m sure it’s much better than you think and I am looking forward to reading it, Nice work on the graphics btw, looks fine.

What software did you use. I have quickcover3d, it’s excellent.

I will grab a copy now but probably won’t have a chance to read it until tomorrow. I will give you my review asap.

If I can read it earlier I will, but brain storming coming up and I have feeling it’s gonna be a long one!

Speak later

Hi Nigel,
I saw a comment of yours on Mark Austin’s blog about a 21 videos page. I went through my PPP and I don’t see this coming up, can you give me some more info on this?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

Re: Mark, I think it’s just the new wordpress update is causing the problems but you defiantely did leave me 4 messages lol. What did I use to create the ebook cover? Well I used photoshop and a CAD program which I bought for university. So what I did was make the ebook shape in CAD Program, make my front cover in Photoshop. Then I imported the tiff file into CAD program and did a quick rendering. Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing.

RE: Anthony, thank you for your wonderful comment and yes, the 21 Video page: what I meant was the 21 videos page, there is no hint on the page to tell customers that they need to click on images in order for videos to play in a separate pop up window.

For example, on youtube, you usually get a Click to Play transpapent button over video image hinting people to click in order to play video, well with the ones on the 21 videos thank you page there isn’t this feature.

It;s nothing major and I;ve spoken to the Tech Support. They just told me to add a line telling people to click on images to play videos. Sorry if that soundsed all a bit confusing.

Hey Steve – I will certainly ammend the link for you straight away after this comment and thanks for dropping by, any feedback would be great.

Thanks again everyone, all the best
Nigel

Hi, my name is Paul Hamilton and I am also a student of Alex. I just thought I would say Hi. I have been so busy trying to catch up with everything that Alex is teaching us that I haven’t had time for anything else. Isn’t Alex fantastic? I just cannot believe how much I am learning. Like your blog. Would you please add my site to your blogroll. Thanks Paul

16 Debbie 12.13.08 at 11:20 am

Hi Nigel,

Congrats on the ebook. I look forward to reading it.

I’m putting together a Cool Tools page on my website to capture all the great tools that are being discussed or developed by our students, plus some that I already know of. Will include a link to your site about your ebook.

Also, am adding you to my blogroll and would love to be included in yours.

Best of luck,
Debbie

21 Gary Simpson 12.14.08 at 8:48 am

Nigel – Yip-Man – Dude…

You are gonna be a STAR man! I can see you rising to the top VERY quickly.

Just applied for your e-book. Can’t wait to see what you have come up with.

If you have a cup of tea or coffee come over and see how I spent my weekend at “Noof Noof” an the lightning bolt of an idea I have had while I was there – PROJECT X is on the drawing board.

Hey Gary,

How was the wedding? – sounds like it was great fun and that it was also super-productive. How’s your head? I look forward to seeing project X – can’t wait.

I too have got a few projects planned and I can’t wait to get them rolling soon but first, I have to get rid of this cold.

All the best
Nigel

23 Robert Humphreys 12.15.08 at 5:46 pm

G’day Nigel.

Thanks for the ebook. I just requested it but haven’t downloaded it yet.

Just one little thing – your Thank You page takes us subscribers away from your blog. You could lose readers and potential clients that way – I don’t know about others but I normally close Thank You pages after I see what they have to say.

I also have a business idea (or 3) and would be happy to share.

Thanks again,
Rob

24 Nigel Yip 12.15.08 at 6:33 pm

Hi Robert

Thanks for noticing that – I will certainly investigate into it and possibly addinga link

Thanks again
Nigel

25 Derrick Siu 12.15.08 at 9:29 pm

Hi Nigel, great to see you have already put an ebook together,

thought you would appreciate some feedback on your title – as i’m just a little fuzzy though on what your ebook is about? (maybe a little subtitle would be good to give the title more meaning, as at the moment it seems more like a book for the entertainment industry?

Anyways – great work on the video you did for Garry. I’ve also set up an exclusive social network for Alex Jeffrey’s students. so be sure to email me so I can invite you :) I’ll also add you to my blogroll in the next few minutes,

Cheers!

Derrick

26 Nigel Yip 12.16.08 at 4:43 am

Hi Derrick

Thanks for dropping by my blog and yeah thanks for your feedback. In regards to subtitle, there is one just not very clear and it says

“Learn How I Created and Uploaded my Videos for Free and How you can Too!!!”

I know I could probably do a better job on the graphics but still it’s a first attempt and I’ve got plenty more ebooks in store brewing at the moment and waiting to reach boiling point i.e. fruitation.

All the best mate
Nigel!!!

27 Harry Harris 12.16.08 at 7:32 am

Nigel

Great site man. I enjoyed reading your posts and I have signed up for your ebook…I have added you to my blog list and hope you will add me too!

Cheers

Hi Nigel…
Just had time to go thru your eBook..high class document.
The version I have is a Preview Edition and is only 7 pages long..
The last paragraph says…
You will also learn how to create your videos slides using PowerPoint, a brief demo on movie maker basics which involves simply loading slides and publishing to video format, but most importantly how you can use Animoto as well which is an online based movie making software which will literally blow you away with it

29 Cecilia 12.19.08 at 11:23 pm

Hi Nigel,
Love your reviews. I have just opted in for your ebook, looking forward to reading it. This is my first time going around the blogs, I have certainly been missing out on a lot of information, especially start up info. You all are so great, and talented, I am truely thankful to be a part of this group, and totally amazed at how it has evolved! I have little to no knowledge of social media, haven’t done myspace,I messaging etc. This is just awesome, probably due to the fact that we are all taking the same journey, some a little faster and more knowledgable than others. But thankyou to all of you that are sharing that knowledge.
Please add me to your blog roll, as I will add ou when I get that figured out!
Good Luck with your e-book
Cecilia

30 Michael 01.16.09 at 1:53 pm

Hi Nigel, Michael here, a fellow Alex Jeffrey

Hey Michael,

Thanks for dropping by and welcome aboard to my blog, I look forward to hearing from you again soon and I will certainly drop by very soon and visit your blog.

Best Regards
Nigel
