The objective was to promote a website. To generate traffic to http://easycashsystemnow.com/ . Text and graphic content were all from the website. Here's the whole process done in half an hour. Use Corel VideoStudio . Copy and paste the headlines and sub-headlines. Copy and paste the ebook 3D cover graphic. Copy and paste 5 points from the list of benefits. Copy and paste the call-to-action texts for the last scene. Re-arrange and resize texts. Use black and white for simplicity. Select and add a catchy music track. VideoStudio comes with some automatic music that resize itself to fit the duration of the video. Select and add sound effects of a crowd cheering in the background. Animate the texts. Animate the ebook cover graphic. Fine tune the overall video so that the music beat syncs with the visuals. Render to WMV in high resolution. Finally the video clip was uploaded to 30 over video-sharing, social and bookmarking sites using Traffic Geyser . Writing this blog article took lo...

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. There are 5 practical examples of how to use video with this technique. This is the section which I will refer back again when I take action (more things added to my to do list again). Here is one example: "You’ve just created a hot little special report and instead of gi...

I have just created another passive income website. A social media site that makes money while sharing other people's videos. Here are the six steps I went through. Step #1 : Sign up an account at http://www.weshow.com/ . This is quick, only a minute. No need to reply to any confirmation email. Just enter your email, user name, password and birthdate.

Building a professional website have become so easy with new free tools and free widgets. I have my own website since 1998 and it has undergone many changes and face-lifts with 100 pages and over. The 2008 web site revamp was in line with my new business direction as well as clients' feedback. Simple Content Management System Clients found the website navigation hard to follow with difficulty finding what they want. So I changed the whole template from a 1-column website to a 3-column website, from a top-menu drop-down navigation system to a side-menu navigation system. The side-menu bar is always visible as compared to a drop-down menu. to Thanks to CMSimple , a simple online content mangement system, the change in template was done within 1 hour, though the site has over 100 web pages. Everything is done online. Nothing to upload except new graphics and widgets. Free Online Logo Design Since the size of the graphic header is changed due to a different template, I had to redes...

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...
