Greetings!Well, I think I have recuperated from my "world travels." Actually, I
just went to Dallas and San Diego, but for me having two trips back to
back it was a major deal. Remember...I'm the person who works from home and the longest trip I take some days is from my home office to the kitchen! But
I'm glad to be home and getting back into the swing again. I learned
so much while I was gone and will be sharing much of it with you
throughout the rest of this year. I am planning to offer more
free training opportunities so that you can better understand
how to use social media and all the resources that are
available, to help build your business online. Check out the
sidebar for where I'm going to be speaking this month. If you are in
the area, stop by or sign up to listen in virtually. I'd love to have you join me. To Your Online Business Success!  PS. Check out this Free Telesummit being offered by my buddy, Sue Painter and Amy Franko, Four Ways To Flourish Featured Speakers include, David Neagle, Sandra Yancey, Michael Port and James Roche.

The Hot Topic...Video Marketing!
|
One of my recent trips was to San Diego (beautiful from my hotel window!!) where I spent three full days in training for Internet Marketing through Video.
Some of the top Internet Marketers, Trainers and Mega-Rich people were there. And the recurring theme was video marketing is hot!
So here are a few tips that I learned about how to get started promoting your products and services through video.
- Pick up a $99 Flip Camera. It will do the trick in the beginning.
- Video yourself offering tips in your industry
- Keep the Videos to 1-3 minutes
- Set up a YouTube account and upload them
- As you are with clients, video them giving a testimonial for you. Then upload it to your website or blog.
- If you offer trainings or speak to groups, have someone with your camera at the back door to capture video comments about your session
As you are thinking about what to put on your videos, think about the answers to these questions:
- What frustrates your client most in their business or life?
- How can you solve whatever is causing them pain or keeping them up at night?
Then as you record your short videos, speak directly to these clients from the heart. If you are true and sincere with helpful ideas, when the time comes for them to buy, you will be first on their list!
