Alex Jeffreys has created a buzz with a video he put together about a new report. He’s promised to write about the #1 thing that hold us back from making money online.
Aside from the content of his video, I learned three very important lessons that I’ve included in this short little video.
1. Start off with an eyeball-grabbing, gotta-find-out-what-he’s-talking-about subject line.
2. Create curiosity in the first paragraph or 30 seconds of your message.
3. Use a call to action. Give them something to do, site to visit, or action to take.
Watch this little video and let me know what you learned from Alex’s video.
Yesterday afternoon I had a very pleasant and informative chat with Rob Brooks, the author of The Beginner’s Guide to Making Video Infomercials That Make Big Money.
He told me a little about his background and how he got started with doing video infomercials. His free book is one of the best manuals on creating video and how to get traffic to them that I’ve seen. I like it so much that I’ve printed it out and put it in a binder for easy reference.
I chose Rob’s site for my blog of the week post because his style of writing is very easy to follow with a 1-2-3 approach, he provides useful information if you’re interested in video and affiliate marketing, and he really cares about helping people.
The interview/conversation is about 26 minutes. Rob tells stories about his experiences and gives vivid examples of how to use and find long-tail keywords.
One of the reasons I’m featuring these audio conversations is to help the newcomers to IM and affiliate marketing see that there are people all over the world who really want to help you grow your business and avoid the mistakes that are easy to make when you’re just getting started.
Blog of the Week This week’s featured blog is that of Steven De Gracia who is one of my classmates in the Alex Jeffreys coaching course. I chose Steven’s blog to tell you about because he is so generous with his time and expertise in video creation and marketing and I wanted you to benefit from his tutorials. His site is basically a tutorial library for learning how to produce video in Camtasia and Windows Movie Maker. When Steven recommends a product, he creates a video to show you it’s advantages and how to use the system. At Steven’s site you can learn:
how to get more traffic to your blog
how to encrypt and cloak affiliate links
make your own video tutorials
how to install the Twitter plugin for WordPress
I interviewed Steven last night and the audio will be available soon. Steven shared a little about his background, how he got started in internet marketing, what his goals are and advice for people just starting out (it’s great advice for anyone). What he really wanted you to know is that he is available to help you if you’re struggling with video. He loves working with this medium and will create a tutorial about almost anything to help you learn what you need to know about making videos. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to visit Steven De Gracia and leave a comment for him. He’s got a heart of gold and wants to help you. Until next time, Theresa
