Default Video Tutorial: How to bill for retainers
One of my clients has requested me to provide video tutorials to his staff showing them how to do certain procedures in QuickBooks. I needed to do a test run, so I decided to use you all as my guinea pigs. LOL

Here is my first ever video tutorial answering one of the most common asked bookkeeping questions by VAs, "How do I bill my customers for retainers?".

Please view it and give me your comments. I know I need some more practice on the speaking end of it, but I'd like to know what your thoughts are.

Thanks!

Video Tutorial: How to bill your customers for retainers

It's a .wmv file you will need Windows Media Player to view. If you have any problems accessing the link pm me your email address and I will email it to you.

Rebecca,
I received a message: This is a private file, only the owner can download it or view it.

OK, I must have set it to private. Let me go see if I can change it.

Rebecka, just viewed the tutorial, I do not use QBs but explanation was very clear. You sounded a little nervous but that will go with practise.
The screen images were not very clear, but that could have just been my Broadband speed, (we have very slow broadband here in Ireland compared to other countries). Will wait and see what others say.

Congratulations on the wonderful tutorial.

Is that something that comes with windows, or a separate program? I'm working on a training manual for a client, and this would be extremely helpful.
