Do you spend time training your clients how to use WordPress as a content management system once you’ve handed over their website? Do you make instructional videos for them showing them how to update their content? How much time do you spend doing this and how much is it costing your business?
If you spend a couple of hours making videos and an hour or so answering questions for each client and you build 12 websites a year and charge $45 an hour, you’re losing $1,620 in revenue every year. Not to mention what happens when WordPress is updated, the admin dashboard changes and you have to re-make all those videos.
How You Benefit?
Today, we are glad to have our friends over at Video User Manuals to offer us 2 x Lifetime Licenses for the Video User Manual Plugin for our Onextrapixel's readers.
The benefits of this plugin are obvious. It’s a set and forget solution. You install it on your clients domain and they take care of teaching your client how to use WordPress to manage the cool new website you just designed for them. You save valuable time that you would otherwise spend answering all those questions. That time can now be spent finding new clients, building more awesome WordPress sites, or spending time with your friends and family.
This plugin will help you deliver a more professional solution to your clients, win you more business and will save you loads of time and money.
WordPress Video User Manual Plugin
The WordPress Video User Manual Plugin features over 30 video tutorials and a written manual with over 100 screenshots that clients can access from a sidebar widget in the admin dashboard so they’ll never have to call you again and ask you how to upload an image or format their text.
All Editor Role Function Covered
It covers all the functionality of the “Editor” role in WordPress and explains all the buttons on the toolbar in the visual editor. The videos demonstrate all the day-to-day functions like how to upload an image, how to paste text in from Microsoft Word and how to format text using headings and paragraphs.
Every Toolbar Button Explained
The plugin takes seconds to install and the content is updated for every stable release of WordPress, so if you update your clients WordPress sites from version 2.9 to 3.0, the plugin will serve up the right manual and videos automatically.
A Written Manual with Screenshots
The plugin also includes a written manual with over 100 screenshots for those who prefer to learn by reading.
The written manual features a navigation menu similar to WordPress for ease of use and hyperlinks for moving around the various sections quickly and simply.
Customizable and Rebrandable
The team at Video User Manuals also had the foresight to allow you to include your own custom videos and they made the plugin completely re-brandable so you can pop your own logo on it and take all the credit.

Wow!! Sounds really interesting!! I think this plugin is the solution for my problems!
I like it a lot! It´s a time saver, obviously. Amazing.
This will do nicely.
I love it. very valuable. This plugin obviously will save my loads of time and money.
Awsome giveaway. :)
This plugin is absolutely awesome!
I make use of it and my clients have already told us how much of a help it is.
Hi Graham,
We've definitely gotta hire you in our PR department. Thanks for the kind words and glad the plugin is helping your business.
:)
That plugin would really make it easier to show clients how to handle their WP installations.
great plugin! thanks for the chance to win a license.
as a web developer, i'd love to have this plugin for my work. i believe it can really save me alot of time and effort.
One to go, please :D
Fantastic Plugin - I use it with all my clients now which saves a heap of time and money. I would love to win a lifetime licence so I can use the money saved each month to treat my wife (flowers, dinner, movie, expensive chocolate,..., a day away from the maddening household of kids to restore her sanity)
It is impossible to stay up with all the brilliant plugins. This one looks like a stand out.
I'm constantly answering these kind of questions that take up time through out the day. This plugin would actually give me time back into my schedule which I can always use.
Once again, a random tweet's retweet read during the morning shower brought exposure for me to this seemingly AWESOME product/plug-in.
My first thought was I hate being exposed in the shower. ;)
No, seriously, I thought-- "why didn't I think of that." I followed that up with thoughts of "well, you don't do plug-ins" and "seriously, how many more hats do you want to try and put on?"
I've been using skitch for screen caps, and jing for vid-snippets in my quest to help a multitude of clients and friends work through the word-press learning curve. Sure, its as easy as m$word to write and style a post/page. But we all know that we find out what we don't know when we learn we don't know it. ;)
Thanks for the opportunity to put one of my hats into the ring for the chance of winning one of these licenses. Heck, I'd even be satisfied with a year's worth of licensing, and can confidently say I'd not let that puppy go at the end of the year either.
Best of luck to all in the contest.
See you at the end of the week!
WOW, Nice article, GREAT Plugin
Oh, I need too this plugin. I am already working at a project to switch from SMF platform to WordPress. It is about poetry website and I just started a poll to my actual members if they know to work with WP. Some of them answer they don't. Well, this video support will be awesome for my project. Hope I'll win.
I would love to use this plugin....
Looks fantastic!
Great plugin, hope to win :-)
Woow..it's amazing and great plugin.
I think this "Video User Manual Plugin" is very useful for WordPress user who will get started to use WordPress. Thank you.
My clients would love this! I have just started a redesign for a technophobe who loves the idea of editing the content for her site; but is worried about using WP. This would make her life much easier!
Creating a freelance business that scales is one of the toughest challenges that exist for web designers. The key is to free up time and resources by using intelligent processes and automation. Video User Manual plugin does just that, and your clients will love you for it.
You make your existing client base happier and this will result in more business which you can take on, because you freed up your time from repetitive tasks such as explaining how WordPress works. It's a win-win situation.

I started a written manual a while ago, but it's one of "those projects" that never gets finished. Even if I were to finish, I'd have to update it every time WP updates. With that considered, the VUM plugin Looks like a golden solution to save me time, money, and stress!
This is really cool! I could use it for the College's new EdTech site, http://edtech.stlcc.edu
