Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

This video you’re about to watch rocks!

One of the faculty members at SIMPLE is Lon Naylor, from ScreenCastProfit.com. He just made this video today to demonstrate his mad skills with Camtasia and Sony Vegas. He was inspired by the Google Super Bowl ad that aired during the Saints win against the Colts.

Enjoy!

Press play

Although we can’t promise you’ll turn into a video genius just by attending SIMPLE, Lon will be breaking down how he puts these videos together and how you can profit from screencast videos as an affiliate marketer and as a product creator – 2 of the essential pieces of the SIMPLE profit formula.

p.s. Lon will be at SIMPLE the whole weekend, too. Like all the speakers and VIPs I invited to this event, he’s even better in person!

‘Tis the season for gifts galore, and I’d like to give you not 1 but 3 presents to put under your tree (you can decide if it’s a Douglas fir, a cactus, or a bush, etc…).

Watch this video for more about this (and to meet my 2 kids)…

And here are your gifts (each are PDFs you can download straight to your computer and print out)…

A shocking video reveals a few of the faculty members of the Niche Affiliate Marketing System workshop in Atlanta are also part of a world class dance crew.

Led by super affiliate turned dancing queen, Lynn Terry, the crew includes Nicole “Success On The Dance Floor” Dean, David “Can’t Touch This” Perdew, Scott “This is really how I got my six pack abs” Tousignant, and Bob The Teacher Dancer Jenkins.

An anonymous email confirmed the 5-member crew is practicing for auditions for “So You Think You Can Dance”, “America’s Got Talent”, and “America’s Top Dance Crew” (the fact that one of the members is actually Canadian has not been revealed to the judges of these shows).

But before they hit the small screen, they have big plans for NAMS 3. TMZ has obtained this video of the crew rehearsing in a barn in rural Tennessee. Warning: Viewer discretion IS advised!

What do you think? Do they have what it takes to make the big time? Or just a side show in the big tent?

During Day 18, I did a small amount of editing of my video before publishing it for the web. Today, I need to get it online and onto my squeeze page.

So my tasks are:

• Upload to a video site
• Put the Embed code on my blog
• Hide the text I’m replacing with the video

I’ll start with getting the video online…

Editing video can require some big technical chops, but it can also be pretty simple if you’re okay with a more natural result. Once you have a good raw video, like what I created yesterday, you should be able to use the video as it is, or adjust with just a couple of quick fixes.

So today, I’m going to…

• Edit the beginning and end of the video
• Insert a call to action slide at the end of the video
• Publish the video for the web

Let’s get to it…

Now that I have a plan for creating my new squeeze video, it’s time to actually record it. After I get it uploaded tomorrow, we’ll then be able to see how much that improves (and hopefully doesn’t hurt) conversions.

So today I’ll be talking about…

• What equipment I’m using
• Lighting
• Setting up for the recording
• And…. Action!

Let’s go…

With a weekly digest of lessons from my blog set up in the RSS Broadcast yesterday, I get to return my attention to conversion today. I’m going to do a two-day process of getting my squeeze page enhanced by adding video.

Today, I’m going to…

• Plan the video content

This may seem like a simple step to take, but as you’ll see, a good plan makes all the difference in how the video ultimately comes out. We’re not going to go overboard with it; but there needs to be a certain flow to get the best results.

Let’s get to it….

My friend Lynn Terry over at ClickNewz nudged me to start playing around with Animoto, and I figured for my first video mashup should be photos from live events where I’ve met so many great people.

Hopefully, if you are not in this video, we’ll get a picture at a live event soon. You can check out my schedule over here. I’ll be in New York City at the end of July, and London at the end of August for meetups.

Bob Jenkins

p.s. If you have a picture of us together, make sure it’s on Facebook, and tag me in it. This way, when I create another video like this, I can include it!

p.p.s. Want to know the secret to how I made this movie in under 25 minutes? I used Animoto. Make your own music videos with Animoto. Make unlimited 30 second videos, or get a commercial pass like I did to make longer vids with a redirect button at the end and no logo.

My friend Chris Morris has been doing an awesome job this week blogging about getting products created quickly (Read more here).

And it got me thinking that I haven’t told you about an important reason that events are so helpful for your business. Obviously they’re a great way to meet new people, learn some marketing ideas, etc.

But it’s also a great opportunity to make products and content for your audience. When you go to a seminar, conference, workshop, or local meeting, bring along your video camera.

You can use any video camera you can get your hands on (even many digital cameras have a video feature), but I personally love using the Flip Ultra. I haven’t picked up the HD – the old school Ultra is fine for most users.

Now the question you likely will have is what should I do a video about?

Over the last 2 years, I’ve been putting off purchasing a top-quality microphone for my internet marketing business for two reasons: I like to “Take Action, Revise Later”, and I always thought that great microphones would cost several hundred dollars.

So I’ve been using a $45 headset from Logitech that’s been working pretty well. Except that it has these huge ear pads, and it’s kind of heavy and hot after a while.

Also, I’ve been seeing these guys on Ustream and online videos using those mics that look more like they are in a radio studio – and it just looks really cool.

Whenever I’m wondering about online video or audio, I turn to my friend Lon Naylor. He and I go way back – we met on the Butterfly Marketing forum in 2006, and finally in person in September later that year. He’s an ex-Microsoft guy and really knows his stuff. (Don’t believe, me? Check out his ScreenCastProfit.com site about using video in your marketing).

Anyway, I sent him a tweet a few days ago, asking what mic I should get.

He told me to go grab an Audio Technica USB mic from Amazon. It’s usually about $250, but he had a beat on it that it was a lot cheaper.

Here’s what it looks like…

So i just ordered it at Amazon, and can’t wait to get it. Next time I do a Ustream show for Bob The Teacher TV, you’ll be able to see it in action.

If you have used this particular mic, I’d love to hear what you think about it. The reviews for this one at Amazon have been pretty high.

p.s. If you’re receiving a tax refund, this is the kind of investment in your business that not only makes sense, but it’s typically tax deductible, too!

Oh, and make sure to follow Lon on Twitter and get his free “Ace the Audio” training for video marketing.
