Video Marketing Genius

Has anyone else noticed that the E-Trade baby is different?  Or is it just me?  It seems to me like he has a different voice and he is not such a cool cat like he used to be.  I’m not even sure it’s the same baby. The funny faces just don’t get it for me-it’s his dry humor, sarcasm, and babyish sophistication that made him so irresistible. Now that is gone. I am really disappointed! I used to love to watch those commercials, I would stop whatever I was doing to watch them. I would even rewind them on my DVR!  That’s how much I liked the E-Trade baby. But now he seems just a little bit “off” to me, not nearly as enjoyable…noticeable…rememberable. People really shouldn’t mess with marketing genius! Hey E-Trade…if you’re listening…Bring Back The Baby! Shank-a-potomus!

Keep It Real People!

I will admit to you that I am pretty new to the whole social media stuff. I have had a Twitter account for a while but not done much with it. I recently signed up for Facebook and I have really enjoyed getting back in touch with old friends and lost family members.

I am also exploring all the ways to promote a business through social media but I am struck by all the spam! I have joined a couple of groups and sent out some friend requests. I get the “add” and immediately I get hit with “check out this” and “buy my stuff” and “make a gagillion on Facebook or Twitter with my system”. Yuck!

Mind Your Social Network Manners

I really think that there should be more awareness of social media “etiquette”. Places like Facebook and MySpace and all the others are about building relationships with people and connecting with others. Consider yourself a guest in someone’s home when you visit their profile and write on their wall.

Many of us have businesses and yes, we want to expand our networks to make more money but people do not like to be hit over the head with one offer after another right out of the gate. There is no trust built between people when it’s done this way. I would trust a friend’s advise over a stranger’s sales pitch any day!

Social Networking Is About Building Relationships

And here is my friendly advise: give away some value, sincerely help people without expecting anything in return and you will be a person who’s opinion is valued and trusted. Sales will come from that.

Has this happened to anyone else? Am I the only one that is bothered by this? What do you guys think about it? I’m curious to know your feelings on the subject of pushing products on people in Facebook, so please comment below.

Article Writing May Be Necessary But It Still Bites

Don’t get me wrong, article marketing is still an amazingly effective way to get highly targeted visitors to your website without paying for traffic. And writing articles really is a necessary part of your website promotion.  The only problem with it  is that it takes a huge amount of time to write all those articles. And unless you LOVE writing more than anything else in the world, it’s quickly going to become a giant energy suck on your time, dragging you down into a dismal pit of total burnout. Sorry I’m not all Sally Sunshine about this but that’s the way I feel sometimes!

I’ll admit, I have tried article writing and submission but after I finally found a few article directories to submit to and then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required text boxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be better spent doing something else. I don’t think I’m lazy, I just like things a bit easier.

An Easy And FREE Solution

If only there was a way to automate this vitally important but really tedious task. But hey, that’s what software is for! Then I came across a program created by Andrew X and Steven Lee Jones called Mass Article Control. Mass Article Control takes an article and gives you as many new articles as you want,  each one similar-but different. This saves you a ton of time and energy, and gives you all the high-quality articles you can possibly want without spending a lot of  money on writers or a lot of time that you would rather be using for more fun activities.

You have complete freedom to use the built-in options, or you can add your own words and phrases anytime you like and Mass Article Creator learns what you like as it works… it was built using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology!

This new software will also SUBMIT your articles to the top article directories for you at a push of a single button! What a time saver!

The guys usually charge $97.00 for this software but they have decided to give it away for a short time.  I don’t know how long it will be before they come to their senses so you should check it out now:

And hey, it shouldn’t surprise you to see that the guys are using VIDEO on their website!

First of all, I want to apologize for my long silence.  I had some personal issues come up which kept me away from the blog.  Thank you for understanding.  I really want to thank you all for the great comments and support.  Keep it coming!  Also,  if there is anything you are wondering about please let me know and I will try to cover it in a future post.

You’ve Heard It Said Before-Google Loves Video

Smart internet marketing professionals know that Google loves video.  A while back Google changed the way they rank websites and these days web 2.0 tools, including video, are more important in the ranking game than the old SEO techniques. While it is still important to use good keyword phrases, and optimize your pages with your tags, Google is putting more weight on video when it comes to page ranking.  But why is that?

Keep  Your Videos Relevant

Relevance is still key, and Google views videos as a better, more relevant viewer experience. A highly relevant video captures people’s attention quicker and keeps their attention longer than a page of text. Think about it, when you are staring at a page full of text, don’t your eyes tend to glaze over and doesn’t your attention wander? It is almost like work to wade through all that text. Video is more like entertainment; when people are entertained they stick around longer and they tend to come back.  All that amounts to a good user experience.

Make A Splash With Video

According to TubeMogul, a top automated video sharing site, “Online video is one of the best venues to engage an audience – don’t even think about excluding it!”  The type of response from your customers or website visitors that video makes happen is just the response Google and the other search engines are expecting and rewarding with top positioning and high page rankings.

When its done in the right way, video on your website will help your search engine optimization efforts in ways that plain text and linking cannot accomplish. If you really want to make an impression, reach more people, and improve your bottom line, then include highly relevant video on your website!
