Mark Joyner Lauches Simpleology the Book!

My excellent friend Mark Joyner has finally launched the controversial Simpleology book that he's been working on for the past few years. So far I've only gotten a sneak peak at some of it that he let leak out to his Simpleology members recently, but TODAY is the DAY!

It's out now, and Mark is looking to stir some controversy with it. I really can't fully explain how excited I am about this, because in my personal conversations with Mark he's let me in on some of the details of his master plan, and this is a major reference point within it. I can't explain all the details of it in this post, but let me just tell you this.

GET MARK'S BOOK! It is invaluable. If you're looking to free your mind in the simplest way possible, then this book is for you. If you want to help your friends free their minds too, then buy a few copies and give them away for birthdays and at christmas.

Some of the things Mark reveals in this book may shock you, but more importantly they will greatly increase your awareness to what's going on in the world around you, and give you an advantage to take the path of least resistance towards your highest good!

Self Empowerment is the name of the game, and becoming aware of all the things that disempower you is part of the solution, matched with knowing what actions will lead you to success the least of amount of time with the least amount of effort!

Again, I say this book is invaluable! So go get yourself a copy at Amazon.com today!

If you need more convincing then go watch the video trailer that Mark Joyner put together to promo his book launch. After watching the video, you can just click the button beside it to be redirected to Amazon.com and make the purchase!

Watch the Simpleology Book Launch Video NOW!

I hope you make the right decision on this. As the old saying goes "A stitch in time, saves 9", well Mark Joyner's Simpleology book is like "Stitches in time, learn now, don't wait - Put them into action, save 108" ;)

Peace and Prosperity,

Viral Shock Review

It seems Justin Blake has just created and launched a viral marketing/viral listbuilding system, and a lot of people are wondering whether this is gunna fly or die.

It's hard to say just yet because it only just launched in beta, and if they do this right, they may succeed incredibly.

Well honestly I got real excited when I first heard about this system, (as I do with any new viral marketing system) but when I downloaded the software and started to figure out how it really worked I was disappointed.

They say a system like Viral Shock has never been done before, but that's only partly true. There are others out there that work similarly, but none with the capabilities and technology that Viral Shock uses. Unfortunately the problem with other systems that have the same framework is that the response rates for mailouts are extremely low, because the lists are completely untargeted to any specific markets (Except maybe internet marketers). It's like mailing to safelists.

Viral Shock claims that their system will be more effective than traditional safelists because of the 100% deliverability feature that direct delivers right to your desktop. This feature intrigued me, but when seeing it in action, I found it to be annoying and disruptive.

On top of that, you will be getting hit by numerous messages from all the people in your upline. I don't know about you, but I have enough junk emails to sift through each day in my email program, let alone having them pop-up and alert me right on my desktop.

Also, since it sits there running in the system tray, it will be using up system resources, which may not be a big problem if you have a fast dual core computer like I do, but if your computer is slower, then it might bog down overall processor performance, and may be the first program users decide to delete when streamlining their system tray.

Another thing I didn't like, was the fact that when you login to the members area, which can only be done on the system tray icon, it fires up Internet Explorer. Now I happen to be a hardcore Firefox enthusiast, and so I really dislike that. It's really only a minor issue though, and not at all if you regularly use Explorer, but I'm hoping they expand the compatibility to autodetect the default browser and fire it up instead.

$197/month, or $97/month if you take the one time offer. You're paying that to send html ad's once a week, and receive ad promotions right to your desktop (Actually you'll get the ad promos for free too). It seems logistically that this might be it's greatest feature, because if you manage to recruit others then you get paid high monthly residual commissions. Now in this case they are offering a service for that money, so I believe it is within the laws.

So what's my overall summary and analysis of Viral Shock?

Well, my guess is that it will be successful because it offers a lot of residual monetary incentive which will be enough to make it go viral. I think that if you get in early (Like NOW, while they're still in beta), then you will minimize the amount of ads and messages that land on your desktop, because there won't be a huge upline built yet above you. I would recommend not getting the upgrade to pro, unless you feel that your copywriting abilities for creating ads are so good that you can grab the attention of even the most random uninterested audiences. All in all, I'm not psyched on Viral Shock. I'm sure the creators will profit, and a many others will too, but not without effort put forth in recruiting. I would think it to be more effective to spend your time building your own targeted list, and building a relationship with them.

I do like the name Viral Shock and the website is definitely very professional looking with great step by step videos teaching how to get started with building your downline.

If you are interested in joining Viral Shock, then do it ASAP. As I said, they're still in Beta and getting in now may mean that you down get as many messages from your upline. :)

Join Viral Shock Now!

Jason James' Audio Video Riches

I've certainly posted about some great viral video creation products in the past, but Jason James has gone the extra mile with his new release of Audio Video Riches.

That's right, he's produced an incredible package here, and I must admit that I underestimated him at first, but once I saw and tested the product for myself I was amazed.

This course goes into great detail step by easy step, so that even a newbie can create great professional looking videos with ease, and then easily post it onto their website to stream live!

Now when I mean easy, I REALLY mean easy. If I could say there was anything I'd have to nitpick about this video course, I would say that it's tooooo step by step, and for someone like me who has done a lot of this before, I found that a lot of the steps I didn't need to pay attention to, BUT that doesn't mean it's not also valuable to the more experienced. I certainly learned some new tricks, and the web streaming files it comes with are great and easy to use (Again step by step instructions on how to use everything, even down to plugging a firewire cord into your videocamera and computer).

This video course teaches you everything you need to know about creating great video and audio for your website.

It doesn't go into depth on the actual marketing of your video or audio, but it does touch on the topic.

All in all, I would certainly recommend this to newbies and even some of the not so newbies. The pro's may find a lot of the info redundant, but it does come with a guarantee if you're not 100% impressed.

It's certainly worth checking out if you want to do video and audio for your websites. Remember that if you can make a good viral video these days, your video or product could become famous quite quickly, but you'll need to know the basics of creating a good looking video first.

Check out Jason James' Audio Video Riches!

Viral Business Cards in Second Life

A recent article in Reuters Second Life news caught my attention the other day regarding business cards in Second Life. It appears that the Second Life company Moo is making business cards for Second Life users.

At first I thought what a great idea. Then I thought, how could it be made more viral.

In real life, business cards are handed out here and there during meetings and at conferences and seminars and such. But once they're handed out, they usually stay with the person who received it, and you have to hope that they find your business card when they need your services.

In Second Life, the digital aspect of business cards makes them easily reproducible to hand out to other denizens of the world, while maintaining their own copy. But why would others hand out your business cards to others.

This is where the viral part comes in. They may do so, if your island/land is just incredibly awesome, or if your services or items are incredibly awesome. I've been handed other peoples business cards in world before when asking people for certain things like where to buy cool clothes, or where to find cool places. In these cases, if your business is memorable then people might start handing out your business cards to others who ask for such locations.

The other idea I had, which I've seen successfully used in Second Life, is giving away free boxes/free items that contain your business card, and allow others to give away the free item as long as it comes with the business card.

This strategy is great, because then there is even more reason for people to ask about you and your business. For example: You see someone on a really cool motorcycle and ask them where they got that awesome motorbike. They say "For free, want one?", then when they give it to you, it comes with a business notecard that gives you all the details of the maker and where to find them. This strategy is incredibly effective, and very viral.

The one key thing to remember (As in every viral marketing campaign) is to make the free gift something that is linked with your business and your businesses offerings. That way people remember you when they use the gift they got from you, and they'll come to you when they want more.

Simple and effective. Just check out Second Life and do a bit of brainstorming on what and how you can create a gift that makes your business memorable. If your business is within Second Life then it should be easy, just give a sample product. If your business is not directly in Second Life, then you'll have to think a little more wisely, but you can still come up with something, perhaps a Second Life version of your real life products. ;)

Good luck, and I hope to see you on the grid sometime. (Just IM Jambhala Richez in world)

How to Generate Viral Friends

One of the best and often under-utilized viral techniques is providing a simple way for your existing members to tell their friends about your product or service.

Trusted endorsements by friends is the best form of advertising bar-none.

And what's even better is it costs nothing to implement.

Many tell-a-friend scripts have come out and have been effective to a certain degree, but they lacked the features necessary to cause a viral wave of traffic that we'd all love to experience on our sites.

Well, the same guy who created the most incredible Viral Marketing script that has revolutionized the internet marketing industry and made viral marketing easy for virtually everyone has just created a new tool that has been responsible for over $209,349 in extra sales just from two beta testers using it in it's raw form.

The marketer is Mike Filsaime, and the new tool is Viral Friend Generator.

He just launched the completed version and I am thoroughly impressed.

Viral Friend Generator is the next evolution in tell-a-friend technology.

In less than five minutes (the time it takes you to fill in the form and upload to your server)... you can literally multiply the number of visitors and subscribers your web site receives by 300% or higher!

It is compatible with all of the major autoresponder services out there and has many incredible features that every other tell-a-friend script just cannot compete with at all.

Put your marketing efforts into high gear with this extremely powerful new and easy to use tool that was put together by the Viral Marketing Expert of experts, Mike Filsaime.
