Free Screencasting Tools: Guide To The Best Tools To Record Your Screen
Anyways, thanks for the article. I would definitely go back and read through all the monetization and business model articles you outlined.
I do have (perhaps off tangent) a question which is somewhat related. I a running a social network that I would want to sustain it on bootstrap or if possible, zero cost. That means, I am not using a top domain. Although I am not averse to getting one, I am worried that I will have to trace back and redo all the links I manually put all over the net for our social network (currently on subdomain). Just thinking about retracing my steps sucks!
Do I have to retrace my links if I get a top domain (as it would be a different URL already, no?) OR should I just upgrade my web subscription services to premium without getting a top domain? That is, upgrading my web subscription to premium allows me more options on how to serve ads already.
Besides, it is a niche social network for business startups gathering FREE memberships by geotargeted referral. We don't have anyone coming in from the web and that might not be a priority except to bring in angel investors in the midterm - which we are now doing through networking with relevant sites like LinkedIn, etc. already. We also conjecture, angel investors are sought out. They certainly are not people soliciting business by joining sites, no?
Maybe this question could be one article for people like me?
unfortunately I have too little info to provide you with sound advice.
In fact, I personally do not see any good reason to move to a top domain.
If you do, yes, you need to redirect all of your in-bound links to the new
URLs, and this, if you have lots of them, may not be worth your while.
Also you may want to join one of my upcoming open Q&A calls, like the one
coming up this Friday, to submit me more questions or to ask them directly
live to me. You can sign-up here:

However, for non-techies I find manually posting the disqus comment box inconvenient every time I publish a blog (they require 2 separate codes or I just don't understand the gobbledygook). Implementing disqus like how you are doing it is too techie for me so I use their single code which "POST COMMENTS" does not come out prominently in my web "real estate".
Unfortunately also, your webinar would be at 1am Sat in my time zone. Do you have podcasts of those; and perhaps a shout box where we could just asynchronously put in our questions?
Anyways, thanks for your comments. You confirmed my apprehensions about moving to a top domain.
of the world, which may well be, that should be a more comfortable time than
1am.
Yes, the event will also be recorded and you can automatically get recording
and materials shared in it by simply signing-up either at
pop.robingood.comor by registering to the event itself.
Thanks

thanks for alerting me to this. I wasn't aware of it and now the
map is again available to everyone.
