Video Collections

alwAs part of the information that I create for the WordTips website and newsletter, I also create videos that end up on the WordTips YouTube channel. I publish two videos each week, presenting “how to” information for working with Microsoft Word.

I’ve now compiled all of the videos published during the last year—104 videos—into the WordTips Videos 2024 Collection. In aggregate, the collection provides over 8 hours of helpful instruction on working with Microsoft Word.

The WordTips Videos 2024 Collection is more than a simple compilation, however. I’ve also re-mastered the videos into high-quality HD format. Those familiar with YouTube videos understand there is very often a “call to action,” which involves inviting viewers to like the video and subscribe to the channel. During the re-mastering, the “call to action” was also removed from each video, allowing them to stand on their own as a valuable video lesson.

Plus, the WordTips Videos 2024 Collection includes a very handy e-book that provides a lightly edited transcript for each video, plus everything is organized by topic. (The e-book has over 170 pages, allowing you to easily review skills and zero-in on the video you need to reference.)

 

A Sample Video

To give you a taste for how I present information in the videos in this collection, I want to share one of them with you. Below is a video entitled “Editing with the Spike,” in which you discover how to access a rather essoteric editing tool within the program. (Hint: You may want to maximize the video so it fills your screen. I often find this helpful when viewing how-to videos, such as those in the collection.)

I hope that gives you an idea of how I present material—I try to be clear, concise, and complete when discussing any particular topic.

 

YouTube? Really?

YouTube is a great platform for presenting information, but there are drawbacks. Everyone who uses YouTube is familiar with how difficult it is to find information, the fact that you are interrupted by advertisements (sometimes quite often), and the quality of the video steaming is depending on factors often out of your control.

Those drawbacks are the reason I’m offering the WordTips Videos 2024 Collection. This collection puts the videos in your personal references, doesn’t require you to be online, is free of advertisements, and is organized in ways very difficult on YouTube. Plus, because you receive the collection on a USB 3.2 flash drive, you don’t need to be online to access the content. It is yours to view as often as you want, in any way that you want.

What You Get

If you choose to purchase the WordTips Videos 2024 Collection, I send you a USB 3.2 flash drive that contains all 104 videos—over 8 hours of content—and the e-book containing the transcripts, as already described. I am not offering this through streaming, as I figure you can stream the videos through YouTube, if you prefer. (Of course, you get the YouTube drawbacks previously mentioned.)

With the USB 3.2 flash drive in hand, you can copy the videos to your home computer or work computer so you can view them at any time. (You cannot, however, copy them to a company or department network. These videos are for individual use, not company use.) That way you can access them at any time you want to freshen up on your Word skills.

Important Ordering Notes

The WordTips Videos 2024 Collection is a physical product I ship to you. It is not downloadable, nor is it streamed. Even though I need to send it to you, I do not charge for shipping. The price mentioned above includes shipping, anywhere in the world. Orders are shipped via US Mail and, if you are outside the United States, are delivered by your local postal service. I can control how quickly I get your order handed over to the postal service, but I cannot control how quickly it gets to you once I do hand it over.

If you live in a European Union (EU) country, please do NOT order the WordTips Videos 2024 Collection. Your order will go through, but I will need to then cancel the order. The reason is simple: The EU requires the procurement of a special shipping license (for the lack of a better term) that makes it onerous and economically untenable for a small company such as mine to ship physical products into EU countries. I apologize for the necessity of this restriction.

If you live in a country that imposes value-added taxes (VAT), you will need to pay the VAT when the order is delivered to you. I do not collect VAT at the time of ordering, nor is the VAT included in your purchase price.

Again, if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me (allen@sharonparq.com) and I’ll get you helped out as quickly as I can.
