It came to me last night that perhaps it would be a good idea to create a series of How To videos for those new bloggers. I’m sure that a lot of these already exist but perhaps mine would appeal to another group of viewers. Also I’m sure it would be a great resource for anyone who’s decided to Hire Me to set up their blogs for them.
Also, another great advantage is that this particular set of tutorials would include specific reference to FlexSqueeze and that I’m sure that once people actually see what Flexsqueeze 1.5 has to offer there is every chance that it may entice them to buy the theme.
This is the first video in the series
I’m really happy about the video especially because I produced it using my Apple MacBook Air
Since you’re here, perhaps you give me some ideas on what sort of things I should include in my video tutorials. Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.
The FlexSqueeze Theme gives my blog that professional look. I loved it so much that I bought the developers license. It's the easiest most customizable theme I've come across. See how easy it is to change your theme's appearance! Compare it to Thesis to see how much better it is! Check out some of the latest Latest Updates
I highly recommend you to get your FlexSqueeze copy today!

Most of us as we proceed in learning, we always think that every person already knows the things we know. The thing is no matter what we think there are always people out there that doesn’t know how to purchase a domain name, set up hosting, post on WordPress…etc. I’ve heard many people say that everyone can find what he or she is looking for by a simple Google search. Well guess what, i know a lot of people who doesn’t know how to find what they are looking for using Google.

Hi Sire,
That was an excellent tutorial and really served to highlight some of the great features of the theme.
You MUST do more of these. And soon.
Another one by the weekend perhaps?

Hi Sire!
Wooohoo I really like the video tutorial!
It has been quite long not coming here, kind of miss it.
Your video is really clear and easy to follow, I am sure it is very helpful for those who use Flexsqueeze theme.
Well done

Sire recently posted…How To Moderate Your Comments
What a great video tutorial! I totally understand how you feel about the love for Mac computers… I think once my current laptop kicks the bucket I’ll switch it out for a Mac. What kind of program did you use to record/edit the footage with? Camtasia?
Also- thanks for highlighting FlexSqueeze for me. It really is an appealing theme.

Hi Paula,
I never thought I would buy a Mac and I only bought it because I was thinking of getting an iPad and decided to get the MacBook Air instead. I am so glad I did.
As for the program, yes it was Camtasia. I did try another, cheaper, program before but that was a total waste of money. I then decided to purchase Camtasia and it turns out to be an excellent choice.

Hey Sire, very cool video and it proves just how fast you are with the FlexSqueeze Theme!
I really liked it and I (like Patrick) am just hoping you do more of these because you’re the one to follow to creating several blogs and ranking them HIGH!
Definitely very good job and good thing that the Mac is finally being served for its purpose. :)
Twitter: AussieSire
No need to worry about that Sergio, now that I’ve had a taste of using this program I plan on doing a whole series of tutorials featuring WordPress and FlexSqueeze.
Sire recently posted…Building Your Brand With A Guest Post
Congratulations Peter
Great video… you sound like a pro.
What should you include?
Adding graphics.
Adding plugins such as CommentLuv.
Adding Google +1 button and social icons.
Good luck with the new venture.

Hey Keith,
Thanks mate that is high praise indeed coming from someone with your background. I learned a lot from reading your blog on public speaking and I reckon I’ll keep reading it becauseI have lots more to learn.
Those are good points to and I will certainly be keeping them in mind.
Hi, Sire
Great video tutorial. It really goes into a lot of detail on using FlexSqueeze. I can see why you like this theme. It definitely looks very easy to use. I love that you can easily add backgrounds and arrows where you want.
Have a good one.

Sire recently posted…Another Avenue For Making Money With Your Blog
A good tutorial you have here. It shows nicely the extra features you get with flexsqueeze. I have seen that once you get to know one CMS publishing system other ones are easy to learn as well. Currently thinking to buy flexsqueeze or catalyst for new projects I’m planning. Really like the customizable sidebars you have in Catalyst. Does Flexsqueeze hava custom sidebars for different pages?
Mary recently posted…Thaimaa kuvia

If you check out some of my blogs in my about page you will see that there are a variety of configurations for the sidebars. I may even include that in my next tutorial.
Definitely do a video about installing plugins Sire. That has to be one of the videos…;)

Even though we both know I’m not switching themes, I watched the video so I could at least see what was different about it, and now I know. It’s actually pretty good, I’ll admit, but I’m still not doing it. :-)
By the way, what program did you use to film the presentation? And you Aussies still have funny accents (says the American who people are still trying to figure out just what accent I have lol)!

Hey Mitch, who knows mate there may be a time when you want to get behind a Ferrari instead of an old clunker and when that happens I’ll see you on the FlexSqueeze team.
Hey Sire,
I think how to videos are an excellent way to educate readers on certain topics.
I almost got the macbook air, but just went with the macbook. I needed the extra storage.
This is the first mac I have owned and I believe you when you say that you are using it more than the PC. I love this thing. Typing on it now as a matter of fact while sitting on a boat in a lake on vacation :-)

the only thing a MacBook Air hasn’t got enough of is hard drive memory but then it hasn’t got a hard drive

Sire recently posted…Installing A Custom Header On Your WordPress Blog
It’s true that there are a lot of similar tutorials out there, but the reference to FlexSqueeze should prove useful, and it ads something special to your tutorial making it unique.
Video look sharp, btw. Top class. Don’t be modest and pass the laurels on the Mac.
Martin recently posted…CDL Lawyers

Actually Martin, that’s exactly why I added the FlexSqueeze factor to it. Not only does it make it unique it also highlights the good qualities of the theme itself.

Hey Laura, I’m sure you will love the Mac, if you ever decide to get one that is.
I like the many features that the Flex-squeeze theme provides, but..isn’t it a bit too geared towards marketers?
I like too the video tutorial, nice and sharp. Moreover, doing it on a Mac sure gains importance :) Pls don’t forget the social icons, including the Google +1!

Sire recently posted…How To Save Petrol
Hmmm, now I am confused! I was thinking of buying thesis or genesis, but now I’ve read so much about flexsqueeze that I am damn confused, which one should I go for? Any suggestions guys? Actually, I want the theme for a webmaster blog, make money blog and for making sqeeze and sales pages. I know that these things are handy in flexsqueeze, but many bloggers say thesis is #1 theme. So, what should I do?
Twitter: AussieSire
Akshay, a couple of things,
So if you want a theme which is easy to use, has features that Thesis doesn’t have and allows you to build great sales pages then in my opinion FlexSqueeze is so much better than Thesis
Sire recently posted…Have You Been Getting Warnings From Avast?
Ok.. You mean flexsqueeze is much simpler and function rich than thesis… Then I’ll surely go for flexsqueeze. But I don’t understand one thing, why all the guys out there talk great things about thesis, they even tell thesis is the best one. I understand that flexsqueeze has much more features than thesis, but don’t they know that?
Twitter: AussieSire
The reasons are quite simple really. First most of them have never tried FlexSqueeze so they can’t offer a comparison. Secondly they’re trying to sell it so they’re not going to tell you of any shortcomings.
When I first bought Thesis no-one told me that I had to learn HOOKS for me to get it’s full advantage and as far as I know to this day they’re leaving that very important part out.
Ok..ok… I got it now. Now, i’ll go for flexsqueeze..!
Thanks Sire!
Twitter: AussieSire
No worries Akshay, I’m sure you’re going to love it.
For your Apple MacBook Air, I have one word for you… “WOW!” No wonder how great it is to have this kind of laptop. Who wouldn’t want to work online while using this great gadget! Such a great source of inspiration. LOL Anyway, it’s really important that a new WP user have enough knowledge in building his/her own site. This include the theme that will fit the site topic.

If you’re ever thinking of getting a new computer Maria you really consider a Mac. If you want something compact that you can take everywhere with you then you should consider a MacBook Air
Honestly, I’m thinking to have mac in the future because of its feature. Aside from its light weight of course. It’s just that… still pretty costly for me to have one. LOL Hopefully, soon anyway!
