Online Marketing Promotion: 12 months… a dunce no more!
Posted by: | CommentsWhat a difference a year makes! I am hardly the type of guy to do alot of reminiscing but all that has changed. Its been almost a year since I started to take the internet marketing plunge. Yup…almost a year since I said, “what the hell” and went for it. I thought last year that now was as good as time as ever to “fire” my boss and live my dreams. Now… I am still working for my boss, but I can feel my dream coming closer to reality. I am very thankful for my present job, but there is nothing like experiencing the freedom to set your own schedule and have your business working for you. I have a few friends who are self employed and they have nothing but good things to say about having their own businesses and setting their own schedule. I can’t wait to experience this! What about you? If its not your goal to work for “you” then why are you doing this?
I am not much for living in the past, but when I look back I am mighty proud!!! There are many things I thought, I would never know how to do and now I can do!!! One of the things that was intriguing to me was downloading a pdf for a free ebook. I never could visualize the process and now I know how to do it, thanks to Dean Holland. I have to thank Dean for that because I probably would have been lost in space and wondering how to do this forever. I also know how to design my own squeeze page including working within html. I can’t believe it. I remember when my friend had to teach me how to copy and paste a document. I have come a long way in my computer career. I plan to do much more.
For now, I am going to continue building my lists and in turn, building my business. I have a target and I am going to hit it and according to Alex Jeffreys that is the way to be successful. For the past month, I have been a little impatient but when I look back on it everything happens in due time. I didn’t get here yesterday and I won’t get there tomorrow but I WILL GET THERE. Keep reading this blog and watch me do something big!!!!

Get your Welcome Video up fast!!!!
Posted by: | CommentsI hope your New Year is off to a great start!!!! I told you I would be back to give you some more information for recording a welcome video. Before I get into that, I wanted to talk about a comment I received and expand on it a bit. How brave do you have to be to do a video? Not very brave… trust me on that one! I find that many people are reluctant to record videos because they are afraid. Afraid of what? Afraid they might mess up, afraid they might stumble over their words, and just plain afraid of being in front of the camera. Get over it! You have to come out of your comfort zone to accomplish anything! Here’s the kicker… we are our own worst critics. Your video is probably not as bad as you think it is. Remember: People want to connect and see the person behind the words. Now that’s out of the way… on to better things.
Let’s get ready to record your video. First you’ll need to record it with something… I prefer to use my Flip Video Camcorder. Once your video is recorded, you’ll need to upload it to a host. I like to use Tube Mogul because it uploads it to many different hosts at one time. Keep in mind you’ll need to have a youtube or metacafe account before you can use TubeMogul, but it is a great way to upload your video to 1 or more hosts at a time. Once your video is uploaded get your embed code and you are ready to roll, well almost ready. You’ll need to visit your blog’s back page and and install the flash video plugin. Once this is installed, you are ready to go. All you need to do now is take a text box from your widget page and drag it to where you want to install the video then paste your video embed code into the text box, and your video is almost ready to show the world. All you need to do is one little thing . On your text box where you installed the embed code you’ll need to adjust the height and width of your video, by changing the the numbers which correspond to them. Keep in mind the embed code has four places where the height and width of your video need to be changed. Once you change these, hit save and close on your text box and go to your blog and you should be broadcasting to the world. So what are you waiting on??? Hop to it!!!!
