Lists of email responders to stay away

Mail Chimp plans



Mail chimp suddenly terminated my account on 28th May, 2019 even though I did not violate any of their policies. I contacted them about it through their online form on 28th May, 2019 at around 6 pm.

This is my message to them:

I am seeting this message: "Our automated abuse-prevention system, Omnivore, has detected an action or content in your account that may be in violation of our Acceptable Use Policy.". So far I only have 1 campaign where I am getting sign ups in return for downloading my ebook. I am not sure what policy I have violated, any advice is much appreciated.


But my mind is already made up - I won't be using their service. They are like google play, who likes to terminate accounts without giving details.  

It appears others are also getting their account terminated:




Stay away from:
mailchimp
mailerlite
Sendpulse


Which ones are affiliate friendly:

aweber
getresponse

How to remove video background

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHN4hEOGBbA

Use VSDC video editor.

Fails.  It also removed part of my forehead. My background wall is white. Might work with other background color though.

Recording head talking videos

To record head talking videos you should use ipad mounted on a music stand just in front of your table. Print the script and clip it to the front of the ipad - covering the screen so that you can look directly at it whilst giving the impression you are talking to the ipad camera.

Behind the ipad, on the table, put you fifine microphone and set to recording 90% and set the volume control to 3/4 max.

Start the ipad recording, then start audacity on the pc.

After recording, upload the mov file to googledrive using the googledrive app on the ipad.

Download to your PC and install handbrake:

https://handbrake.fr/old.php


Make sure you download version 1.1.2 and not the latest version. The latest version will fail to run because of a .net problem.

Use the handbrake app to convert your mov file to mp4.  Do not use VLC to convert mov to mp4 - it will cause Camtasia to fail during exporting of video for production.
