So, you can create videos of all the things that you do and then you can upload them to Google Sites which I’ve mentioned in a previous episode, and then you start to document everything that you do in your business. Snagit is a free screen recording program, but it also supports a variety of file types, including cross-platform file types. The other thing you can use it for is documenting systems within your business. It even allows you to annotate the screen capture videos you create. You can also use it when you’re reviewing work from graphic designers or website developers rather than writing long emails … you can tell them what they need to change or fix, but you actually show them as well which means a whole lot less confusion and also, you’re going to save a lot more time.

You can use it for replying to emails instead of writing … you can do a video of the email and talk over the top of it, and then send back a video link. You can use it in so many different ways. Unless you have this software you probably can’t appreciate how useful it can be. Snagit is a tool that you can use to capture a video of whatever is happening on your computer screen. 4 Select whether you want an image or a video capture. If Snagit isn't open, open it first and then find the Snagit icon.
