Give your eCards a personal video kick!

Sure, you can send an eCard in just a few minutes. But spend just a few more minutes and you can easily add a video to it. This adds a personal touch beyond compare. Imagine someone in your downline getting a personal video message about going Gold from you in their email! Pretty cool.

If you have a webcam on your computer (and know how to use it), simply record a short message. Webcam software isn’t always the easiest to use, but if you know how to use it, it’s a quick way to get it done.


However, there’s a really slick option out there that makes video super easy. It’s called a Flip Camera. You can get it at any decent electronics store. Best Buy has it for about 150 bucks. You simply point it at yourself, press record and deliver your message.


Then plug it into the USB port on your computer and the file shows up like it would from a flash drive.


Now that file (or the file from your webcam) can be uploaded to nTouch by using the “Upload Media” button on the library palette.


The video now resides in your library ready for use.


Drag the eCard you wish to send up to the Canvas and drag the video from your library onto the eCard. That’s it. Position and size the video, then enter your personal message in the text box.


Then click “email” in the upper right corner of the interface and you’re off to the races! Have fun.
