Step by step walkthrough of how to record a lecture voiceover using Keynote/Powerpoint and Screenflow/Camtasia.

(Although you can pause the recording in Keynote/Powerpoint and just record one slide at a time, but you have to get your timing just right and it's hard to control the transitions) NOTE: I'm actually using just Keynote and Screenflow here, but it works almost exactly the same way using Powerpoint and Camtasia instead.

ALL the top 100 online marketing gurus use this system to sell most of their products, including online courses.

And as a sweet added bonus to your business, this is when you set up your evergreen automated launch system, so you can give your growing new audience their own personal product launch in a totally automated system that delivers regular income to you daily with little or no effort on your part!
