Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

Whether you attend industry conferences, or even local Chambers of Commerce meetings, what you do after the event can be as important as what you do while you there.

Here are a few hot tips for your post-live-event social networking efforts.

Upload Photos To Facebook

As soon as possible, upload photos you took during the event to your Facebook profile and fan pages. Create an album for the event. Add captions that make people smile – not just reporting the news. You may also want to link to the websites of the people in the photos to help them get more exposure. Be sure to tag your friends who appear in the images. This will make sure your photos show up on their profile – otherwise the images are virtually invisible to everybody else.

Tag Photos Other People Took

To be honest, tagging photos is a bit of a hassle if you took a lot of pictures. But this is an opportunity for you more than it is a challenge. Since a lot of people still don’t take the time to tag photos, or they may not be friends on Facebook with those in the pictures, you have a chance for added visibility.

When you’re looking through photos from an event and you see someone who hasn’t been tagged – go ahead and tag them. This will help the person who didn’t have the time to tag, will give the tagged person more exposure, and your profile picture and name will appear on the tagged person’s wall for connecting them. Just be sure that the person actually IS in the picture!

Upload Tips Video From The Event

Hopefully, during the event, you shot some video using a Flip or some other camera. Perhaps it was just a quick pan of the crowd, or maybe you created a tip video like this one.

Of course, it won’t do you any good if the video remains on your camera. So be sure to upload the video to YouTube, Facebook, etc. Make sure it’s uploaded directly to Facebook, by the way – not just posted as a link from YouTube. This is the only way you can tag the video with people inside (just like the photos above).

Create A Mashup Video Of Event Photos

A day or two after the event, you should see enough photos online to do this big post-event strategy. Using your images, and those that have been publicly posted, create a mashup video.

This can be done with simple tools like Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, or Camtasia. But I prefer the speed and style of Animoto. Use their music, or upload your own royalty-free music clip and let Animoto do its thing. They have a free version, and a paid version (which I use so I can make longer videos).

Here are two examples of videos I’ve made with Animoto.

This one is from Willie Crawford’s Birthday Bash, March 2009

And this one from Adam Urbanski’s Info Profits Success Bootcamp

Both of these videos were made in mere minutes with Animoto. And the second one features a song written and performed by my mastermind partner Bobby Medina.

Take Action Revise Later

My final tip for you is to make sure you take action and revise later. Speed is a critical element to the success of these strategies. If you wait more than a week to get these things online, they will lose a lot of their impact. When people get home, they are most excited about the event they just attended.

p.s. Hope to see you at a live event soon, and get our pictures together. To see where I’ll be next, check out my internet marketing events schedule.

Last weekend, I was one of Adam Urbanski’s faculty members at his Info Profits Success Bootcamp.

Met some really cool people, so I put together a music video featuring pictures throughout the weekend using Animoto.

Also, during the event, I got great feedback on my “SIMPLE Path To 6-Figures” presentation. So I thought I’d redo it via webinar so people who couldn’t make it could learn these important lessons, too.

You’ll learn…

• How to shortcut your climb to expert status as a connector
  
• When to start promoting your own products and services (the answer to this may surprise you)
  
• My #1 source of long term traffic and how to get it.
  
• Secrets to pricing your products to reach $10,000/month faster than you ever thought possible.
  
• How using your telephone can bring you faster results than struggling to create content and products the hard way.
  
• And much more…

This will happen live only once, so be sure to register now so you don’t miss it.

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.
