Throughout this series, you'll learn how to create animated headers, Flash menus, Flash buttons, slideshows, music players, and video players using Flash, and then once you've created these standalone Flash files, you'll learn how to insert them effectively into your HTML website.

4. ** BONUS ** ($97.00 Value) Web Design webinar entitled: "Building Websites With Real Value - How to Find Clients Who Will Gladly Pay You $10,000 Or More For Their Website"
Stop settling for $500 to $1000 web design projects and start making some real money. More importantly, start building a real business. You know, the kind that will allow you to take some time off and still have money coming in. The kind of business where you are building an asset that can be sold at some point in the future.
If you are tired of working long hours grinding away in front the computer just to make the same money as a Starbucks barista, then you will be very interested in the following information.
Each week I host a webinar where I show designers the exact skills you need to develop to take your business to the next level. For some, that means being able to go from part-time to full-time. How nice would it be to trade in your day job for a successful business where you call the shots. For others that is means getting your very first client.
I even show the pros how to grow their business. Just last week we had a guy that fit in that top 1% category. He is charging $30,000, on the low end, for a website. He was making more money than almost all of the other 22 attendees combined.
I opened his eyes to some new ideas, one of which has the potential to double his already successful business. That is the thing about the top 1% - they are always anxious to learn something new. He could have easily passed on the opportunity to attend the webinar based on his success, but there he was soaking up new ideas to grow his business.
