Twitter Bites Backs!

I need to say a HUGE thank you to many regular readers, subscriber and my online friends for your support and friendship.

Even though I haven’t been blogging as regular as usual I have the pleasure of knowing that you guys are still visiting my website and getting some value from my content.

How do I know that?

Well of course I check my statistics now and again but judging by the activity of people signing up for free and paid services from recent posts like Animoto and deep into my archives I know that I’m providing a resource of value to many.

Phew!

Wouldn’t it be a let down if the opposite were true. No chance of that.

So thank you for:

I could go on but I think you get the idea… -»(¯`v´¯)-» Thank You! :grin:

Oh yes, about the title of this post “Twitter Bites Back!”. Well I signed up for Twitter account a while ago and didn’t really do ANYTHING with it. However I have officially resurrected my Twitter account and been adding some content over time.I hope to keep it up. It’s been fun so far. I have to give full credit to Mike Ambrosio who “followed” me. When I read my email notification that he found me and added me I had to make a decision…
‘to Tweet or not to Tweet, that is the question‘ [sorry pun intended].

So people tweet me, follow me and all that good stuff. I’m actively getting more into Web 2.0 so you’ll see my sketch, as you can see in my header picture, popping up here and there. I’m also seeing many Facebook and MySpace friends in MANY other social communities so it’s my turn now. :wink:

Twitter
By the way did you know that Facebook has a free cartoon converter for your photo? Not sure what it’s called but if I find it again I will add a link to it here.I used Photo Sketch Pro to convert my color photo into a sketch of me. I like to be mysterious and so far people want to see more of me. Well that’s what they guys have told me. Hmm we’ll see!
Thanks everyone,

Nancy P Redford
P.S.
Something pretty darn BIG is launching tomorrow, Friday May 16th 2008 @ 09:00 AM CDT / 2:00PM UK GMT. Reed Floren’s Internet Marketing [IM] Giveaway JV. A WHOPPING 1,600+ JV partners are in including little me so get ready for a jam packed week of freebies and super gifts.

Create Film Quality Online Videos With Animoto

Make a dynamic slideshow and embed your images in an Animoto video. Your images and music will never be the same again. A team of filmmakers and producers have formed a partnership to provide a unique service for creating online video with film quality finish.

So What Can You Do With Animoto?

With Animoto you can produce stunning slideshows similar to services other free applications like Slide and RockYou used on popular on social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. Animoto launched a Facebook application at SXSW in anticipation that the service will see further growth. Animoto lets you grab photos from free photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Picassa, Smugmug, Facebook, Photobucket, or from your own personal images stored on your computer.

Plus there are lots of music tracks to choose from to add to your videos with the option to purchase the full tracks from the artists. So if you are an artist you can submit your music and gain more exposure and sales. Featured tracks or scan through several musical genre’s from Indie Rock, Hip Hop, Classical, Jazz and more.

You can post an Animoto widget directly to your MySpace profile in the section you choose About Me, Films or other places on your pages. At first I thought it’s would be an excellent way to get my completed 30 second short on MySpace quickly without having to copy and past code into my profile manually. However after I sent the video to MySpace I went to check on its progress with great anticipation but my video could not be seen. The only visible code was a thin black banner link with the Animoto link back to their main site. So I had to manually remove the code easier just to select “Post/Embed” online and select MySpace from there to get the code to paste carefully into your MySpace profile. Also if you want to embed your Animoto video onto web pages select “Other Sites” to get the embed code.

In fact the best way to embed an Animoto video without the links back to the website as can be viewed on TechCrunch Music Video Slide Show. At the end “Make new video” and “What is this?” Even the new style YouTube videos can be a pain when your video shrinks into the background to reveal a row of other videos. This can be a killer for marketing affiliate programs as your competitors videos may appear after your own. :roll:

I’m sure I’m not the only one who hates this new layout at YouTube.

Advantages & Disadvantages of The Free Version and Premium Service

The limitations on free 30 second Animoto Short are you cannot download your video but you can upgrade and edit your video at a later date so it is versatile in that respects.

Only full-length videos can be downloaded, but you can upgrade this video by doing an “Editing Remix” and changing the type on the “Finalize” page. No two videos are ever the same even after completing your video you can go back and remix it to create a new version with little effort.

You can use the 30 second shorts as an intro or slideshow but to get the full benefits of the service the real value is in the long feature film length video. YOU CAN MAKE A FILM QUALITY VIDEO without having any special equipment so it does have a huge advantage over services like OneTrumedia. You still have an Animoto logo feature at the very end of your video when uploaded to YouTube but it isn’t intrusive at all. If this bothers you just upgrade and download your introduction pieces into your favorite video editing software like the free Windows Movie Maker so you can add more content to your video and make it look more professional.

For just $3.00 or equivalent of just and just $30 per year with free hosting you just can’t beat the service for incredible value. I plan to use it to create professional looking introduction to my future video tutorials.

How To Get The Premium Film Length Service For Free

Once you are a user of Animoto you can give your friends a $5 discount voucher and get 3 months free premium access for yourself. Why continue struggling with producing videos and compromising with quality when you can get it all for a measly sum of $3.00?

The simplicity of the service with the auto generated animations so you DO NOT have to configure this yourself. Even a child can do it! See a complete demo here: Animoto-Make Impressive Slide Shows/Intros _Easy To Use_

This video was created by a brilliant young genius is a member of the YouTube Partner Program status due to thousands of video views he generates from his Channel. This gives him a share of the ad revenue such as Google Adsense on his video pages. Incidentally I found this video after my initial with Animoto so I could of saved myself some valuable time. LOL

Facebook Challenge - Make $10,000 in 37 Days!

A bold challenge is going on at Facebook. What would you think someone told you there is money to be made with social networks using proven marketing strategies?
How would you like to follow a highly successful Internet marketer who has announnced that he will “Make $10,000 on Facebook in just 37 days?”

There’s nothing to buy here. All it will cost you is abit of time to follow Brian Campbell on his journey. This will be an interesting challenge that I will be keeping track of.

You may have you come across John Chow’s article “Make $10,000 in 37 Days From Facebook” as I did. The exposure and free publicity that will come as a result of this project is guaranteed to explode Brian’s profile and credibility exponentially.

I wish him the best of success and look forward to the plan as it unveils over the course of the next month.

So How Do You Capitalize on Facebook?

I’m sure it is definitely not to do with blasting out sales pitches. After all people hate to be SOLD to!

FaceBook is a place to NETWORK and BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. I must admit that I am still quite new to Facebook and how to maximize it for my own benefit so I will be eager to learn more about Brian’s teachings. Just call me an observer for now. :wink:

My Partial Theory

One tip I do know is that creating your own “focus group” is a way to target like-minded people to YOU rather than you chasing people. The “Groups” section can create leverage for you. The next step is how to cultivate your Group to communicate with your loyal followers who could well become clients of yours.

The traditional way of building contacts on Facebook is to seek out other people that you may already know in your industry or find a Group of interest to you to find contacts. You could also contact your mailing list and invite people to add you as a contact. This process can take some time and can be cumbersome. However if you create your own “Group” I can see the potential for your contacts to grow exponentially because people will actively seek you out to join YOU.

You can announce your new group to your current Facebook contacts and encourage them to invite their friends. The potential of which could create a viral explosion of new friends to your group. Using this method you’ll be able to leverage yourself and mass communicate with people.

I foresee this technique as an excellent way to STOP chasing people and instead become the hunted!

What Happens Next?

Just my 2 cents here!

So what’s the catch?

None so far as I can see. If you want to follow Brian Campbell then you need to register at Facebook for a free account and then join Brian’s Group, Internet Marketing University on Facebook

=> DON’T FORGET to add me, Nancy P Redford as a Facebook contact too.

Getting Into MySpace

WordPress 2.5 Logo

Hey today’s the day when all of the pranksters come out to play so be on your guard. HAPPY APRIL FOOL’s DAY!

I just wanted to let you know that I gave gone against all of my principles and set up
a MySpace account. Like many I view MySpace and similar sites as a place where people just mess around and get in trouble at work! However after several colleagues have been boastingabout how they are making money from their collection of MySpace accounts I had to see for myself what the fuss is all about!

So far I am looking for REAL friends, people in my industry, people I know online and
of course my visitors and subscribers.

You’ll certainly recognize a few Internet and Affiliate marketers amongst my MySpace friends. So before I add a permanent link to my sidebar I wanted to cordially invite to you to addme to your MySpace friends and of course send me a “Friend Request” to be a part of my crowd too.

I will probably add a personal video or slideshow later when I find some good photos of me, friends and family so hang tight until then. For now you’ll just have to get accustomed to “The Better Half Of Me”, this slogan will make more sense once you visit my page at MySpace. One very positive aspect I have found with having and sharing my MySpace account is that I get to see some of my long term subscribers who have added themselves as friends. Normally I don’t bother to add an image of myself online but I guess people really do like to see you in photo or video. :wink:

Do you think we are getting more voyeuristic and narcistic with Web 2.0 sites online?

Well I don’t like looking at myself too often unless I’m brushing my teeth. :grin:

What do you think?

I remember Mark Wielgus talking about how more bloggers should do video to reveal themselves to their readers or at least make their own videos for content and to boost their SEO. Mark’s personal view is that text only blogs can become dull and he prefers to watch video blogs or listen to podcasts, especially if he has been a long term subscriber.

I personally enjoy reading articles with the occasional video here and there but long
audios I hate unless it’s a Teleseminar. Anyone who rambles on for a length of time is
mind numbing for me so I’m not into podcasts, even though they are extremely popular and good from a marketing perspective.

Even popular bloggers do not have a photo of themselves on their blogs in the “About Us” section like DoshDosh but for me it’s the content that counts. Besides maybe some people look so bad it would be a crime to reveal themselves. I do like caricatures of people and have seen everything from Homer Simpson to Jessica Alba on avatars.

What are your thoughts on photos, videos and audio over text based blogging?

6 Quick Ways To Promote Your Web Site For Free

How To Create Free Online Videos With One True Media

One True Media

One True Media is a site that gives you the opportunity to create online videos quickly and easily without having any technical skills. They off er both a free and premium service depending on your needs.

I was referred to this site by a friend who actively uses the free video making service to create videos for YouTube and other video sharing web sites.

I must admit that I’m so accustomed to using Windows Media Player and Camtasia Studio. If I had known about this site earlier I would have been making more videos a long time ago. Which reminds me to update all of my CamStudio videos I made for my membership site using the free version. Some of the videos take a while to load which is incredibly frustrating for me let alone my member’s so it’s time for a major upgrade. :wink:

What You Get With The Free Service

- You can add your photos and video clips to your Montage

- Upload limits of up to 100MB per month

- “Quick Styles”, effects and transitions at a touch of a button

- Store up to 200 photos and/or 15 minutes of video - up to 200MB

- Personal TiVo Channel 2 Anytime TiVo Shares

A Montage is a technique in film editing that can refer a montage sequence, a segment which uses rapid editing, special effects and music to present compressed narrative information. Basically you can add your video clips and photos and mix it up with One True Media’s range of music, images and resources.

Users also have the ability to upload 10 files at a time with direct links to:

The finished video quality is very professional. The only issue some people may have with the free version is that the One True Media logo appears at the end of the video which doesn’t affect the presentation of the video at all. I believe it’s very good value for a completely free service. Especially for people who want to get up and running with making videos without having technical skills or the need to purchase premium video creation software. You can save time and get your high quality video presentations online quickly and easily. Go to One True Media to try out the service for free.
