The Viral Nature of the Internet and Success in Internet Marketing:  Using Video Marketing and Traffic Geyser

The viral nature of the Internet is undeniable. The question has always been how to maximize the effect and then how to test the viral effect. Many have talked about the various tools to aid in implementation of an effective marketing strategy but few address how to test that effectiveness. One of the most powerful and immediate gages of success is Google Alerts, it is powerful and as close to immediate as one can possible hope to get.

The video below will illustrate just how effective a combination of social media marketing and Traffic Geyser can be, demonstrated beyond all question or doubt by Google Alerts!

The blog post and article at Ultimate Internet Image will tie it all together and give you almost everything you need to start and test an Internet marketing business, whether specializing in niche marketing or building an inbound marketing consultancy. Either way, a combination of Traffic Geyser (or TrafficGeyser), article marketing, and a few other resources, to include Google Alerts, will get you pointed in the right direction.

I hope this post and video, along with the one mentioned above, help you succeed!

Just a quick note on a video that has me really excited and thinking about what is possible again! It just came to my attention!

One of the quickest and surest roads to success is to follow the lead of the experts in your field.

Why reinvent the wheel?

People ask me all the time about certain products and for various recommendations on the critical implementation strategies and tools, various processes and resources I use in my business.

I’m always willing to mention great products and strategies, and always happy to spread the word when I’ve found a resource that works, and makes me more successful.

I’ve relied on TrafficGeyser for almost a year now and it has effectively spread my message online in a number of niches, expanding my influence through the use of video!

When I came across this video I was so impressed I immediately sent it to my entire list, something I never do on the spur of the moment. But this was so good, how could I not?

What TrafficGeyser offers is a clear advantage over my competitors when it comes to capturing leads, making sales and establishing a solid Internet image, a significant presence online in a relatively short period of time!

I’m completely convinced you’ll love this latest free video! Just check it out!

This has my highest endorsement. I’ve used TrafficGeyser for a long time and rely on it. This is an excellent opportunity to get a up close look at what it can do for you, to see what it can do for you, too.

Take Care and Happy Holidays!

The amazing thing about opportunity is that it is usually sitting right in front of your face, screaming at you, and you still can’t always see it! I have been fortunate enough in my life to have an entrepreneurial mindset. In other words, I think in terms of “what if?” However, I am not the managerial type, in that dealing with the nuts and bolts of the business is not my forte, so I must have a solid business manager. I can be a great technician, an individual who loves to get in there and do the work, write the articles, make the videos, build the websites, and all the rest.

In essence, I can be two of the three people necessary to run my business, any business, my Internet marketing business or my brick and mortar company. That is, I can be all those people doing all those things, and stretch to be and do a few more, if I never sleep, never spend time with my family, and never spend time doing the things I love, like reading!

Basically, I need one person to do the books and the tedious stuff I hate, the stuff that others love (go figure!), and one person to be there to apply all the ideas that come pouring out of my head. The marriage of the 3 is not a difficult one but it is difficult to find one person competent in all three areas…and that’s the rub! Internet marketing creates some amazing opportunities and there is a great deal of freedom from the traditional clock…but Internet marketing also presents some real challenges.

Enter The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It by Michael Gerber.

I recently came across The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It and all I can say is, “What an Godsend!” Whether is offline or an online business, this book should be required reading for anyone just starting out and those who have taken the plunge but are beginning to chase their tail; and, it seems most do at some point in their businesses evolution!

I thought I was lazy or that there was a serious flaw in my makeup. After all, why couldn’t I handle all three of these areas? Certainly others did! Interestingly, most don’t, and that’s why many fail. Interestingly, I am not alone. It seems there are quite a few businesspeople, in fact most of them, who fall into exactly the same category…strong in one area, maybe two, but lacking in at least one of the three key personalities necessary to really make things click.

I wholeheartedly recommend The E-Myth Revisited to anyone wishing to make a go of it long term in business, in Internet marketing, some other type of e-commerce, or in a traditional brick and mortar store. Had I read this book, and a couple of others I will review through the next week, things could have been so much easier, so much smoother, and so much less time consuming!

The irony of it all is not lost, as I am seeing myself page after page and stage after stage described by Michael Gerber. The nice part is that it didn’t come too late! I have started and run businesses before and have always done quite well, but I can see the pitfalls and the traps Michael Gerber describes emerging in my newest online venture. And, I can see them in 20/20 hindsight in all my old ventures.

Having gutted through similar experiences before, I was simply committed to gutting it out again! Had I only known what was happening, I could have fixed the problem, adjusted for the conditions, and made the necessary adjustments; and, things would have been so much simpler.

Now?

I have that luxury!

And, compared to the road I was going down once again, one full of sleepless nights and deadlines dancing in my head (no sugar plums, to be sure!), the alternative is delightful and Internet marketing is a pleasure once again! You see, I found out it isn’t a sin to be less than competent in all aspects of a businesses identity, in fact few business people are. I am now focused on building the correct business model and taking me out of the equation…at least as much as is possible. What remains should be a profitable venture that can stand alone and be replicated.

How great is that!?

So, do yourself a favor and read The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It by Michael Gerber. The E-Myth Revisited will change your perspective and change your business life…Internet marketing or brick and mortar!

I will be reviewing a few other books I have been reading lately as I try to shore up my knowledge of business building and move into the new year in high gear!

Join me as a subscriber and get ready for a monthly newsletter that is already shaping up to be something quite special!

PS, As many know I am into video marketing in a big way and I have access to a FREE video that can help transform your Internet marketing business! This video is about a young US Marine, just discharged, homeless, and now making a great income online. In fact, he did it in a matter of a few weeks and, knowing what he does now, it could have been days! Check this video out and if you have any questions about how to apply it to your own Internet business, let me know, I will be happy to answer them for you. Just click here!

When to Start Video Marketing: As Soon As I Take the Cat Out!

The title says a lot, I look back at my lack of sophistication on video even a month ago and it makes me grimace, 6 months ago and it is everything I can do to keep from pulling the videos from my channel and beginning again. But do you want to know something? As bad as some of those videos were, they got their message out and, not only did people watch them (not that they went viral or anything) but I made money from them!

The right time to begin is NOW, IMMEDIATELY, AT ONCE! And keep doing them because 3 things will happen:

1) You will get more comfortable in front of a camera!

2) You will get better at it and find your true calling!

3) You will stop saying Um, and Ah, and You Know!

I hope you realize I kept saying “you know” for a reason…you know?

Of course you know!

On with the rest of the article!

Video marketing is a relatively easy and inexpensive way for a small to mid-size company to get its message out there. With more than 300 million users going online as of 2008 in North America alone, the use of videos to promote products and services is fast gaining popularity. For internet marketers, videos go beyond the use of images and text and are very effective in holding a viewer’s attention.

So what do you need to get started and when is the right time to begin? The most common mistake people make is thinking they have to wait until they have special equipment to start recording and distributing videos. You’ve just got to do it. Cliché I know, but true. You do not need a high-tech video camera, special editing software, a fancy set, trained actors or expensive video submission services to begin.

You talk to people every day about your product or service. Nobody has the same perspective on it you do. Begin with an inexpensive video camera sitting at your desk or in your favorite chair. If the audio is not clear, you may also want to consider purchasing a microphone. Talk to the camera as if it was a prospective client or customer and deliver your message. You will learn as you go just like anything else.

Write a brief synopsis describing the content of your video using short and long-tailed keywords – words and phrases that people may type into search engines that will help them find your video. Be sure to include a link back to your website or blog. Your title should be also be succinct as some video sites only allow for a 60 character title. For example, a title for a video about this subject matter may be – ‘Video Marketing: How and When to Begin’ or ‘How to Promote Your Business with Online Video Marketing’.

There are numerous websites that allow you to create a free account and post your video. Start with a few of the larger ones such as YouTube, Viddler, Metacafe, Break, and DailyMotion. These sites are highly indexed by the search engines and are a great way to create incoming links to your website or blog where viewers can go to find more information about your company. Take advantage of free social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook to create interest on your subject matter and drive people to your videos as well. As time allows and your knowledge and budget grow, consider purchasing a program like Camtasia to create tutorials and broadcast screenshots, and utilizing a video submission service such as Traffic Geyser.

The moral of the story here is this – if you do not begin where you are at – you will never get where you want to be.

I hope this helps you get started. I might add one thing. As you progress, it doesn’t hurt to have an assistant, even if they only work a few hours a week…it can change your effectiveness and your overall profitability. I am fortunate enough to have the best! I know, everyone says that…but she is!

If I were a small-pie kind of person, and I know some people guard the identity of their virtual assistants with their lives, for fear of them being pirated out from under them…but I am not that way and she needs more work than I can give her. So, if you wants an amazing virtual assistant, check out:
