My life is all about marketing with audio and video, Audio/Video Production, Posting, Training, Services, Resources, Products, Designing, Programming, RSS. So these are just my combined ramblings in text, audio and video.
Anna Farmery of The Engaging Brand plays devil's advocate and asks me questions that most small business owners would pose. The result is a lot of facts, statistics and examples of how different people are marketing with audio and video to promote their business, as well as what makes a video memorable.
To get your own copy of the free 30 page excerpt for "101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business)", just go to http://101ThingsAudioVideo.com/. If this is something that you think would benefit your audience, network or clients, I can create a special affiliate version of the excerpt for you.
As a late breaking news brief, I have more proof that marketing with audio and video works, and works well. Tonight, I was contacted by someone from a local radio station who found me by searching on Google. He followed the breadcrumbs, and went from site to site of mine, and called me immediately about possibly being interviewed on an early morning radio show talking about podcasting and online video, and also possibly helping their sales force use online audio and video to better produce and make their presentations with the Commercial Creation Center.
Now, all I am doing is posting audio and video, and making sure that I always put a link to my important (or relevant) sites. Doing it on a consistent basis helps me stay at the top of search engine rankings. You NEVER know who may run across you while they are researching a topic.
So, as I have said before, put a link back to your business in EVERY POST. It bolsters your search engine rankings. In my blog feed, I have an automatic "signature", which adds my name and Commercial Creation Center link to the bottom of every post, so I don't have to worry about forgetting it. So everywhere that my blog/podcast is syndicated, there is the link to my business.
Lastly, '101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business) comes out next week, come hell or high water (which means with or without graphics, in my case). I just want to get the show on the road, and get this book into the hands of people who are struggling to build their business, and show them that it can be quick, easy and inexpensive to do it.
I am about to release "101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business)." I will have a free viral ebook excerpt, and the full version for $19.99. No one has ever done a book on this subject, so I have cornered the market on the topic. Additionally, this topic is generic enough to fit any entrepreneur. I'll be promoting it all throughout 2009.
The point of the ebook, beyond sales of the full version, is to invite people to try the Commercial Creation Center, with which very few of you would be in competition. I help people who have never created audio and video before produce and post multimedia to the internet. I don't offer copy writing, other marketing information, VA services, etc. - I focus on creating multimedia and then posting it to social media and social networking sites. That's all.
I have decided to add 10 sponsor ads to the viral ebook. I already have partners ready to distribute it as a free resource. I will also be doing another Online International Podcasting Expo again this year, and this will be what I will be giving away to registrants. The ads MUST be related to the topics of audio, video, social media, social networking, marketing, business and business resources.
There will not be any competitive ads, so ads will go first-come, first-served per niche. Therefore, if you are a VA who helps people with posting podcasts or doing social media, only one of you will be promoted.
Other great complementary sponsors (apart from a VA) would be
* Copy writers, or people who help people with copy writing * Info product coaches * Internet Marketing Coaches * Social Media Experts (I can do different experts who specialize in different sites) * Social Networking Experts (I can do different experts who specialize in different sites) * Advanced Video Production Experts (using Green Screens and lighting, etc.) * Public Relations * Graphic Artists * Web Designers * Ezine Specialists
Even if you don't see your industry listed, if you think you would make a good match for this ebook, send in your idea.
The cost is $100 per month, with no contracts or minimum of months. You get a 1/2 page ad, never on the same page as or near another ad, so nothing else will be competing for their attention. Anyone who reads this book WILL see your ad.
If you decide you no longer want to advertise, then your ad will be removed from the ebook and replaced with someone else's. Payment will be via Paypal Subscription, and you can cancel whenever you like. But you have to give me 2 weeks' notice to replace your ad.
For being a sponsor:
* I will send you a copy of the unformatted text, so you can see what I am sending out. * Sponsors will also get the full version for themselves, * I will give away a full version of the book as a prize to your clients (1 for every month you advertise). * People get the free ebook by registering at the Commercial Creation Center (CCC), so if you register there and share the book using the affiliate link, as a sponsor you will receive 50% commissions on the book. * I will also create a special version of the ebook for you that puts YOUR ad on the inside cover, so it is the first one they see. When people sign up under your affiliate link, they will receive YOUR version of the ebook (as long as you are still a sponsor). * I will also place a personalized Paypal Buy Now Button in your version of the ebook. That way, if anyone forwards the ebook and the receiver buys the book without registering at the CCC, you will still get commission from the sale.
So please comment below if you would like to be a part of this book. I would like to release it no later than 1/19/09.
Celebrate Recovery has changed my life and my marriage. It has helped countless others, and it can help you. I encourage you to find a group nearest to you and get involved. If you haven't figured it out by now, you can't fix yourself, so you might as well give up on that idea. You need a God intervention where He does something to change you from the inside out, as opposed to you trying to stop acting on your hurts, habits and hang-ups. This Christ-centered 12 Step Recovery Program is for people of all ages and with all types of issues, not just addiction. There is no issue too small or too big for God to fix. Come find out what is addiction, and how you can be healed.
