If you’re on my Gmail contact list, and you received the following email from me, please accept my sincere apology.

Hello (Your Name),

Your contact Walt Goshert invites you to participate in an iPad review program.
Marketing research companies are looking for individuals who are interested in reviewing the new Apple iPad. The testing period lasts one month, after which reviewers can keep the device as a reward.

Thanks,

The Beta Testing Inc Group

I know you’re busy. My intention here is to give you top-notch money-making marketing ideas and resources, along with marketing tools that increase your productivity and save you time.

While I too received this offer from a trusted friend, I hit the email friends button (perhaps you did the same?) before I checked out the entire details of the deal. Yes, the trials, products, and services appear legit, but without checking them out I can’t vouch for them. Plus, what’s the time price and hassle if you respond? How many hounding phone calls and emails? It’s my practice NOT to recommend something I haven’t used or know, and also it must fit my “Sniff test”. A big thing for me, and you, is how much time, because as business owners, nothing is more precious than our time.

One marketing resource I DO recommend:

Screenr.com

It’s FREE. No trial offers to complete. No friends list to email. No catch.

Screenr is a simple, easy way to create screen capture videos. You can record up to five minute videos, save and promote them on Twitter, even upload to YouTube or your own site. It’s so easy even non-video peeps, like me, can do it.

Check it out.

(Not sure if you can use Screenr on your iPad… I don’t have an iPad ) )
