General Categories, video marketing, , , , ,

Animoto is a video tool that will turn even the most boring slides into a professional movie.

You can easily create stunning videos to promote yourself, your website or blog. You can email your creation to family, friends and business associates. The possibilities are endless.

You also get to create a soundtrack for your film. If you wish, use the copy-right free music or upload your own. This site is incredible.

The interface is extremely easy to use. Just upload your images, order them in your movie, choose your music and you are in business.

You can then downlaod your video, post it directly to YouTube or even email it to a friend.

Here is my first video that I made using animoto.

I created this with a couple of pictures to promote my pizza web site, Pizza Therapy.

Here is another video I created for Hawaii Secret Dot Com

This video was extremely simple and quick to put up. The interface is surpsingly simple.

Animoto is an amazing resource. Best of all it is totally free to use.

The downside is that the free vidoes are limited to 30 seconds. You can purchase a paid version of the site at a very reasonable price.

You really need to put animoto, in your Internet Marketers tool box.

Very powerful, very visual and totally awwsome. Go to animoto and make your own dazzling video statement.

Giveaway Riches: The Money’s In The Relationship

General Categories, , , ,

I’ve been going through Jason James, new product Giveawy Riches.

First, this product is not for everyone. You need to be motivated and be willing to take action.

Giveaway Riches is the kind of product that needs to be used.

I’ve been following Jason James for a while. While he is visible, he does a lot of work behind the scenes. He is able to pull off his style of Internet Marketing by being honest and straight forward.

We all know the mantra in marketing:

THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST.

The truth of the matter is that the money is in the relationship with that list.

Giveawy Riches. will teach you how to foster that kind of relationship. That’s really what its all about

The key is getting a big list of your own.

The problem is it takes time to build a list. In
cases, it can take months or even years to build
a big list in a niche. And that’s why most
marketers give up trying.

Thank goodness Jason James found another way.
You see, Jason is a self-made internet
millionaire and he didn’t get that way by
sitting around hoping to have a big mailing list
someday.

He went out and discovered what the top 1% of all
internet marketers was doing to build their own
massive mailing lists.

He took what he learned and tested. What worked,
he kept doing and the rest he tossed out. More
importantly, Jason took notes every step of the
way.

And now he’s taken his notes and turned them
into a powerful new manual called Giveaway
Riches.

You see, Jason discovered that the top marketers
were using a marketing technique called giveaway
events to build a list and make money at the same
time.

Sounds simple, right?

Well, you’d be both right and wrong.

Set up and do your giveaway event correctly and
you could wind up with results like Jason.

A recent giveaway event yielded a new subscriber
list of 50,000 people and over $100K in sales.

Of course, if you make a mistake with your
giveaway, you could wind up with no list, no
sales, and a professional reputation worse than a
disgraced politician resigning from office.

Fortunately, Jason has created a manual that lays
everything out for you, step-by-step.

Check it out here:
Giveawy Riches.

I’ve reviewed Giveaway Riches and it’s
absolutely brilliant. It’s a marketing
technique that works so well that it should kept
under lock and key.

Best of all, Jason explains everything in plain
English so you can get started right away. There
are no complicated graphs or technical lingo. You
get exactly the information you need.

And if you ever need help, there is a support
desk ready to answer all your questions.

So what are you waiting for?

Giveawy Riches.

Regards,

Albert Grande
Giveawy Riches.

P. S. You can use the system for 56 days and
receive full money back if not satisfied. And
speaking of money, I don’t know what Jason was
thinking, but he’s practically giving this
manual away for a super low fee. So grab it
now before he comes to his senses.

Giveawy Riches.

Grateful Dead Internet Marketing Lessons, Part 3

General Categories, Internet Marketing, rock and roll, , , ,

In case you missed Part 1 and Part 2 of this series you can read them here:

Part One: The Grateful Dead’s Niche Marketing Concept

Part Two: The Grateful Dead’s Unique Selling Position (USP)

Now let’s talk about how the Dead were able to form relationships.

One of the best techniques The Grateful Dead used was that they freely gave away their music.

This allowed the Grateful Dead to build a strong relationship with their fans.

They knew how to cultivate relationships. They realized the importance of relationship marketing.

Early on in their career they were involved in a number of free concerts.

At one point, they pulled a flatbed truck into the middle of San Francisco, unannounced. They set up a sound system with all of their instruments, on the back of the truck, and they played a set of music. The entire area was shut down.

They also palyed a number of free concerts in Golden Gate Park.

Grateful Dead Free Concert Golden Gate Park

This was a way for them to share their passion for their music. Their fans loved them.

Early on the Dead had no problem with people recording their music during live shows. As Jerry Garcia explained, to David Letterman, once they were done with the music, “they can have it”.

In spite of allowing fans to record all of their concert and trade tapes, the Grateful Dead, still sold plenty of albums. They sold out huge arenas. toward the end of their touring days, the Dead would play arenas for two and three consecutive nights.

The Grateful Dead were masters of relationship marketing. They built a wildly loyal fan base, by giving of themselves. And by giving away their music.

The lesson here is clear, for all Internet Marketers. Give away something of value. Give part of yourself. Then build a relationship with your customers.

Richard Thompson Does Brittney Spears…Oops…

General Categories, , ,

Richard Thompson is an incredible musician. He is a wonderful troubador. He certainly has never gotten the recognition he deserves.

He’s been around for decades just doing what he does. He usually plays his own music which is original and memorable.

Thompson is really a musician’s musician.

Imagine my surprise when I cam accross this video of Thompson covering: Brittney Spears.

The truly amazing thing about Richard Thompson is that he pulls this one off.

Thanks, Richard. you did it again. Oops.

Marlon Sanders Message to Me: Set Your Goals

General Categories, , , , , , ,

Let me do a quick disclaimer.

No, I don’t know Marlon Sanders, personally.

Yes, I did get a personal message from him.

Here’s how. I’m a big fan of Marlon. I belong to his list. I own a number of his products.

I respond to blog posts, especially when the author asks for a comment. I responded to one of Marlon’s posts.

You can find the blog, here Marlon’s Blog.

He responded to me and recommended I check out Michael Masterson’s video about goal setting for the upcoming year.

I immediately did watch it and found it to be a powerful system. Michael uses this exact system. Remember, you need to make sure you 1) write down all of you goals and 2) take action to get those goals accomplished.

Here is Michael Masterson’s video about goal setting that he uses everyday to accomplish his goals. At the end of the video, Micheal recommends several books that you read in 2009.

Here are some of the books Michael recommends. His advice is: “to improve your marketing knowledge, copywriting skills, and more.”

This is a great marketing resource by David Ogilvy

The Long Tail by Chris anderson is another excellent book.

Michael’s own book is a how to develop a business from scratch and take it to a six to seven figure business.: Ready, Fire Aim:


Thanks, Marlon. Thanks Michael.

Great advice for the upcoming year.

Grateful Dead Internet Marketing Lessons, Part 2

Internet Marketing, rock and roll, , , , , , , , , ,

For Part 2 of Internet Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead, let’s look at their Unique Selling Position.

This is a recording of The Grateful Dead from the Filmore East 4/29/71.

You can hear them doing a version of Uncle John’s Band, right, here:

The Grateful Dead offered their own, USP (Unique selling position).

As promoter Bill Graham said: “They’re not the best at what they do, they’re the only ones who do what they do”.

Like most performers, the Dead did tours of multiple cities, during the Spring and Fall. Most performers will bring the exact same show to each city. That is the same exact song list for each concert. Even the encore is the same.

Not so with the Dead. Each show was different and unique. You can hear the New York crowd go wild after this tune. Even Bill Graham asks: “Is there anyone like the Grateful Dead?”

The Dead’s USP was that they were different from most every other rock band. Their best shows were totally spontaneous. They would not play the same songs night after night, they mixed things up.

Not only were the songs different, each concert was a virtual marathon. Dead shows lasted an average of 4 hours (with a break between sets.)

When you attended a Grateful Dead concert, you knew you were getting you money’s worth.

You were not only going to a concert, you were going to an event.

So much so, that the crowd became a part of the concert. The fans of the Grateful Dead even named themselves Dead Heads. Some fans became so fanatical, they would follow the band from city to city for an entire tour.

The Dead knew this, and realized that this was part of their USP as well. Not that every concert was spectacular, because it wasn’t. With the Dead, sometimes the magic worked and sometimes, it didn’t.

So what’s your USP? Are you trying to define your self as different or are you just like everyone else?

Here’s the encore from the same show:

Internet Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead Part 1

General Categories, Internet Marketing, rock and roll, , , , ,

Wolfgang's Vault

The Grateful Dead knew their niche.

The Grateful Dead was a rag-tag bunch of misfits and malcontnets. They weren’t the best musicians. They weren’t slick. They never had a “hit” record. And yet they were (and still are), wildly popular.

They became friends with famous artists such as Salvador Dali. Their fan base consisted of U.S. Senators, lawyers, doctors, professionals, and working people.

They went from giving free concerts to a multi-million dollar organization that employed several hundred staff members.

At one time, the Grateful Dead sold out the largest music venues in the country. Generally for two to three days at a time. Sometimes, twice a year.

The organization still makes a bundle to this very day, and yet they have not released any new music.

Lesson 1: Know your niche.

The Grateful Dead did not try to become all things to all people.

They knew early on, their appeal was very limited. While they released music albums, they got very little commercial radio air play.

They understood their audience and their audience understood them. The Dead’s model was to take their music to the people.

They become known through word of mouth. One person would go to a Grateful Dead concert, and they would tell their friends. Soon, they would tell their friends. And on and on.

Their shows became viral messages, as more and more people attended their concerts.

Through it all, they concentrated on their fans. They never tried to appeal to everyone.

The Grateful Dead understood their niche and put their energies in devloping that niche.
