Let them see who there dealing with!












Alright I know I said I'd have this out by the 2nd but I got caught up with other issues in my life so I didn't have the time to put this up until now, so let's just jump right in.

One of the most important things in life is being able to feel comfortable enough around some one to trust them. If the trust isn't there then the relationship just wont work.

The same goes for when your marketing your business. And one of the best ways for people to get to know you a little better and feeling comfortable around you is to see who your are. You. Your face. Your voice. Your personality. Because when you boil it all down it's not the product that sells...it's you who sells the product...or to put it another way it is you the customer is buying into. If they feel comfortable about you then they'll inquire about your product.

The best way to market your self online is through what is known as viral video; translation You Tube, Meta Cafe, Yahoo video just to name a few.

Now you might be asking yourself "Me in front of a camera trying to sell something and then putting it out there on the web, yeah right!"

Let me ask you something. ( And here's where the blunt part of my personality is going to come out so be warned).

Do you think that any of the people you see on you tube promoting their products are salesmen or women??? NOT!!!!

The next time your on You tube take a really good look at these men and women. You won't see salespeople. You wont see anybody trying to cut a deal with what they have or trying to jam something down your throat or making you feel like if you don't buy what they have then your the most worthless person on earth.

NO!

What you will find are people talking about how they themselves are benefiting from what they are promoting and how they genuinely believe that if you join their program or get their product it will help benefit you to. And after you join their programs or niche or whatever it is their promoting they will help you become successful and not just leave you high and dry after you've forked over your cash.

Like I said before...TRUST. That's what's it's all about.

You don't have to sell anything but yourself with Viral video marketing and that should be a product your familiar with.

Now let's start with making the video.

"What in the name of God am I going to say?!" you ask

Well, start of with "Hello my name is....."

See the thing about making you first video is it's like meeting some one new. There just getting to know you and you want to have a conversation with then and as long as you know what your talking about then your good to go.

So have a topic in mind and just talk about it as if it were you and one of your friends, only difference is now is your friend is the camera. You don't need a script just speak your mind and have your topic relate to your product. When people see you start to talk about something you know about they will and your being HONEST about it they can feel that. And they will listen.
And the more they listen the more they will begin to trust you.. And the more they trust YOU they will be more into what you have to offer them.

YOU first Product second. It's that simple. Don't make it complicated. The product is not the priority here it's a means to an end. If you come off like a jerk or a shyster no one will come near you or your product no matter what you have.

Once you get comfortable putting up a few videos and people like what they see they will ask you to become their friends on the Video medium your using and they're are many of them out there. And they're are various techniques on getting your video in front of all those people who are watching.

I can help get you started with getting your video on different sites. As a matter of fact thier is a web site that can post your video to all the sites at once.
And I'll also point you in the right direction on how to get the info needed to set up your channels on You tube and how to get other people to come visit your channel and how to have a healthy number of friends in a short matter of time if your willing to put some time into it (after all with no effort nothings going to happen).

So to recap the tools you'll need to get your traffic going with viral video marketing are:

1. YOU. Be honest and believable and yourself because if you try to fake this step your sunk.

2. Know what your talking about and have a conversation about it with your market.

3. A network of video sites that you can broad cast your video onto and the techniques needed to drive people to your video.

Whew. Well I'm done for now.

When I return by the 25th of the month ( if all goes well ) I will be talking about the importance of time management and what tools you can use to cut your advertising time in half along. I will also be writing about when is it a good time to use free advertising and paid advertising along with the pros and cons. This is vital info that you don't want to miss so I'll see you on the 25th.


Oh yeah I almost forgot. let me point you in the right direction as promised.

To upload your video to several sites at once go to TubeMogul.com this is a free service that sends your video uploads to the top video sharing sites.

Now the information that will help drive the traffic to your video comes in the form of a manual known as the You tube Marketing Course. The gentleman who wrote this manual is the real deal. When you click on the link and see what he has to say you'll see that I'm telling the truth.

The course is not free. The info this man shares with you is well worth it though. See what he has to say by visiting his site. And listen to how he comes across and ask yourself is he believable. If so then he has done his job.

And that is the main purpose of Getting your Video on the web.

Here is the link to check out his site


See you on the 25th.
