My "To Do" list is getting longer. There is more and more things to learn and do to develop my business online. Offline, I make videos for a living. So when someone writes a report about Video Marketing Tactics that suck in profits, I HAVE to read it. As the title implies, this 13-page report is written like the famous "Dummies" book series. It is a free download with "rebrand" option. The "Dum Marketing" Technique is a unique funnel concept that is used in brick-and-mortar malls. It explains the trick to attract visitors to buy your first product and subsequently entice them to buy more from you. It has clear flow charts to illustrate the process step-by-step.

It is a joy and honour when you see your video being featured on the front page of a video sharing site . Here is my christmas video featured on the front page of Lulu.tv . Here it is again in a subcategory page. How to get your video featured? I have no idea. Probably it is a "how-to" video related to the holiday season. You get extra website traffic when your video gets featured on Youtube. BUT you get EXTRA MONEY when your video gets featured on Lulu.tv . Received 400 views in one week. Not much but worth it. Lulu.tv is one video sharing site that is not often talked about. Hence competition is not tough and you get a good share of advertising money. Lulu.tv pays you based on the number of times your videos get played. Lulu.tv puts 80% of the it's ad revenue in a cash pool. Video publishers get to share this 80%. So the more videos you have and the more they get played, the bigger share you will get. I like this system. No need to click on any ads to make money. Than...
