Rapping it Up

Don't get put off this post by the CTP team paraphernalia. This topic is just the means to an end being a cool rap video.  I am on a team at Click Track Profit and its so fun. It's not all about the surfing but about the learning and wanting to contribute to the team and their branding. I have made a lot of cool friends here.

This blog is a journey for me and I want to document here another first for me...A rap song. It's not really what the song is about it's about the learning of how to do something.

Anyone can learn to do anything online, even rap. There are so many resources to teach how to achieve what you want. I would love to keep all this a secret but that's not what I'm all about. I really can't keep secrets well anyway.

Rapping all the way

The first step was my son. He gave me the idea. He found an app for my ipad called AutoRap by Smule. A friend recommended it to him. When I heard this app, WOW. It converts ANY words or sentence speech into rap. It comes with a free beat to begin with but you can earn plays to hear and use more beats. The free beat is somewhat familiar to the traffic exchange industry. (Shhh, Traffic Browser). So I couldn't use that one as everyone would think I was copying.


I told one of my team mates from the Strays, about the app and Wendy Chen recommended Windows Live Movie maker. It is very easy to use. This is my first attempt at video editing properly. Here are some "raps" that I experimented with HERE and HERE!

I then decided on the simple task of using the team splash and various blog post pictures to be the video. I decided on a rap beat and made simple lyrics. I just put the pictures in order and made sure it coincided with the length of the audio track. Voila, magic.

This converted to a file that I then uploaded to YouTube. After adding credits at the end I was finished and it's 2:30 in the morning. Worth it!

Adkreator is great for embedding Youtube clips so I made a splash to advertise CTP and the Strays. HERE is the splash I made.

My next project will be a rap video for promoting FreeRewards4u. 

Until next time

My Journey towards a Merry Christmas

To all my subscribers......and potential subscribers.....

As some of you know I have put forward an application for the #TimTechCeo competition. Anyone has the opportunity to be CEO at TimTech (CTP, Nerdbux etc) for 3 days. Also, as I believe, it is a paid position. 

Below is my YouTube Video:

Please visit Twitter and vote for me by retweeting and adding it as a favorite :) Search for #TimTechCeo and you will see all the entries. You may even want to apply yourself?

I have been around online for just under a year and a half. I am a relatively quiet person who doesn't like to stand out in a crowd. I began with a cartoon picture of myself because I was too shy to put up a real picture. However, with getting to know quite a few of you now and with your encouragement and support I finally put up a real picture. That was a big deal to me, both elements. I am so thrilled to be a part of a great community of like minded people. Step by step I felt a bit more comfortable, even making a few comments on the Spreecasts. I now regularly comment on blogs and in forums. All of this has helped my confidence. For those in my situation it is ok to go slowly, but go forward, observe. We aren't that scary. Comment on  profiles, friend people you have never met, email your downline, say hello in chat! I was very hesitant at first to do these things. Now I have a recorded video..next step is a live one on Spreecast I know :)

When I first heard about the competition I dismissed it. Who would want me as CEO? I have hardly any experience offline or online. I don't own a traffic exchange or paid to click program. Just this blog and my website called FreeRewards4u. I don't know much HTML or BBcode.  I am a qualified Librarian and have done a university degree in Library and Information Management. Therefore, I know how to ask Google for the information I need. I know how to learn.

THE BORING DETAILS: All I kept hearing was "get out of your comfort zone" and "be seen" and "be creative." For some reason Christmas songs were everywhere. Then I made up my own lyrics to a well known one. The lyrics sat there for a while. I still wasn't going to do anything even at this stage. There is always a "what if" thought that pops up. What if they don't like me? What if I'm being too silly? My biggest fear perhaps is "What if I win?" Logistics? Timezone differences? Lack of sleep? I told my husband about the competition and he loved the part where I said I would get paid. I showed him the lyrics and he made a good point....I had invested all this time to do the lyrics it would be a waste to do nothing. He even found me the instrumental music and somehow I put it all together. At least now I'll be known as "memorable" and people know what I look like. I am not just a picture. It may be a bit overkill for my debut video, the singing and all...Lastly, I did this for fun. I did this for me. I proved to myself I can "get out of my comfort zone," and live, perhaps with some anxiety :) 

So this is my journey thus far. This blog post seems like a diary but I hope you got to know me a little better. Enjoy my video and Merry Christmas!
