Free Video Submitter Software

Woah! Is this ever cool!

I just came across a piece of software that lets you automatically submit your viral videos to the top video hosting websites.

The best part is, that it's absolutely free! Now some people are charging a lot for this kind of service, and some of them will charge you per submission or a monthly membership fee to use the service. This software allows you to use it on unlimited videos, an unlimited amount of times for free!

Let's just discuss the viral power of this as a marketing technique for a moment.

So you create a video which has your marketing message in it, and you hope that it'll be entertaining enough to go viral. In order to make that happen though, you'll need to hit the right and get it in front of the right viewers.

As most of us know already, websites like YouTube and Google Video are the top places to search for videos online, and anyone searching will be typing in keywords to find videos they want to see.

So how do we maximize the chances that they'll see our video?

Through the use of well chosen keywords relevant to your video, and getting your video displayed in as many video hosting sites as possible. That's where this new video submitter software will come in so handy.

So here's the strategy:

In order to maximize the number of video's you have displayed on those sites, you can edit a few different versions of the same video (Different lengths, cut scenes, clips, etc...). Once you have a few different versions, autosubmit each one using the free video submitter software. When you do this, you can target different sets of keywords that are all relevant for each submission. (EG. Submission #1 Keywords: viral, video, marketing, submitter, software. EG. Submission #2 Keywords: video, autosubmitter, submit, software, free.)

Get the idea?

Now here's another tip: After you've done that, you can also resubmit all those video's again under different video file formats, and again targeting different keywords. This will give you multiple video listings for the same video on many of the video hosting sites. If the video is identical to previously submitted video's then it will not get posted twice, which is why small edits and changes in file formats submitted will be enough to fool most of the video hosting sites so that you get multiple video listings.

Of course the more times your video comes up for relevant keyword searches, the better your chances of having your videos go viral and spread farther.

So I'm sure you're now eager to get this free video autosubmitter software, right?!

Well you can get it now by clicking this link: Get Free Video Submitter Software NOW!

And may your viral videos spread as easily as jam on toast.

BubblePly Your Viral Video's

Viral Video is one of my favorite subjects, and of course whenever I find new resources to facilitate making videos viral or increasing the marketing effectiveness of them, You, my readers, are the first to hear about it.

So let me share with you an excellent new resource that was shared to me by an excellent friend of mine. (By the way, this excellent friend of mine has a whole wealth of great marketing resources that you can check out by clicking here)

This great new resource is called BubblePly, and it's a website that allows you to take your video's hosted on other video hosting sites like YouTube or Google Videos, and then you can edit them by adding bubbles, icons, or links on top of the videos!

Now in terms of marketing, the key word there is "links". Yes, you can add links to your videos. Fully clickable links that may be clicked on during the video.

Do you realize what this means?

This means that you can add affiliate links, or links to your website, or links to wherever you want, and those links will be right there on the video where the viewer's eyes are glued.

Now, before you get too excited, let me explain something that I read in BubblePly's Terms of Service. They have the right to occasionally display some ads on any video you've edited using BubblePly. Unfortunately you have no control over that aspect of things, but even so, I still think this is a great resource, and of the BubblePly videos I've seen so far, none of them have had ads on them. Perhaps they're waiting until the site gets bigger and more used before they start filling the videos with ads. At any rate, it looks good now, and unless someone might know of some other service that allows you to embed links onto your videos, then this is it, and powerful tool for marketing.

It also has the usual button at the end to share the video with friends for added viral referral power, or tag as one of your favorites.

So if you've got any viral video's, I recommend heading over to BubblePly.com and embedding links into them to send people over to your salespage or through an affiliate link. If you're looking for more great marketing resources, then check out my excellent friend's resource package!

Peace and Prosperity,

Facebook: As a Viral Vehicle

Let's take a look at one of the most popular social networking sites out there from a viral marketing perspective.

Have you heard of or used Facebook?

I kept getting emails from all my friends inviting me to join facebook. You know what went through my head everytime?

"Not another frickin' Social Networking site!!"

I mean really, how many of these things are we expected to sign up for and start profiles in?

Well along came my sister, and she said "You gotta join it, it's incredible, it's NOT like the other social networking sites!" I was certainly skeptical, but she kept insisting that it was so amazing that she was meeting up with all her old classmates from high school, university, old groups of friends she hadn't seen in years etc...

So I signed up for it, and the first thing that amazed me about it, was the fact that it'll go through your address books on Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, etc.. if you let it, and invite everyone automatically. Ok, so this isn't entirely a new feature, I've seen it before, but it's still an incredibly effective way to get a lot of users real quick through simple word of mouth marketing.

Once I started using it, I realized what's so special about it. It really is different than the other social networking sites. It allows you to see an RSS feed of all your friends daily activities, including new friends that they make. This last part is important, because when you see a friend befriend a friend of yours that you're not currently friends with on Facebook, then you'll be able to go add them too. (Did you follow that?) This really grows your network real quick and easy.

It also keeps you in the loop on whatever your friends are up to. What parties they're going to, whose wall's they're posting on, and let's you see the latest pictures people are posting. Now the pictures are an interesting feature, because you can tag other friends when you see them in a picture and then that picture shows up on their profile pics. Interesting isn't it. I certainly thought so.

Another thing is the groups. There are groups for different schools and educational institutes so you can meet up with all your old friends from highschool and any other groups of friends that find their way to Facebook and start their own groups.

So where am I going with all this?

First of all, this site is growing virally by being arguably the best social networking site online for keeping in touch with friends.

Secondly, because it makes keeping in touch with people as easy as pie, it also means that it's ripe and ready to be utilized as a viral vehicle.

A viral vehicle is something that can carry your viral marketing message to others who can then use the vehicle to spread the message further on to others, etc, etc, etc,...

So all one has to do is find a way to seed your viral message in Facebook, and watch it grow.

I've already seen this working with chain-letter type of messages being posted on peoples walls (Each user has a wall which comments can be posted on by friends). Someone will post a message which has a note to post on 5 friends walls or suffer the consequences.

Now I don't recommend posting such chain-letter style posts. But certainly if you have some incentive to encourage others to spread your message, then they most certainly will, and Facebook will make it a very easy task for them.

They can just pick and choose which friends would be interested in your message and easily send the message along.

Anyways, i just wanted to introduce you to Facebook, if you haven't already discovered it, and get you to start thinking of ways in which it can be utilized as a powerful viral vehicle.

Peace and Prosperity,

Bonus Viral Marketing Video amongst $6825 worth of Free Gifts

Okay maybe I didn't stress enough how important it is to get Mark Joyner's book in my last blog post, or perhaps you didn't even read it.

Anyways, I was going to see how many of you would actually go and buy it without me giving you any more incentive than my word. However, I see that only a few of my readers took action, and to those I congratulate you on taking a positive step towards greater success in life.

To those that didn't take action last week, I'm now going to give you some even better reasons why you should check out Mark's new book on Simpleology.

1- You'll get over $6825 worth of free gifts (both digital and physical products) and these are not the normal crappy PLR gifts that are floating all over the net for free.

2- The book only costs $13.77 <-- That's nuttin'!

3- One of the bonuses includes an exclusive Video on Viral Marketing that was created by Mark Joyner and Tellman Knudson, and it's awesome!

4-Mark has put together an Easter Egg hunt for you. Now he wouldn't give me any details, and to be honest I couldn't even find the egg myself. So the first person to successfully find the easter egg and the person who scores the highest on the easter egg will receive free copies of a new product I'm releasing soon that will be sold for $147 and is a packaged ebook w/ audio's and videos on Joint Venture Marketing. Either post on the blog if and where you found it, or send me an email. Post your score too.

Hint: You'll find the Easter Egg on Step 1, 2 or 3 following this link

Now that's an incredibly irresistable offer if I ever heard of one. I don't even get any commissions for selling copies of Mark's book, I'm doing this because Mark is a good friend of mine, whom I respect greatly, and I really believe that the knowledge he shares is more than worth your measly $13.77 investment.

Okay, I must admit that I do have a slight ulterior motive. I've added my Viral Marketing Buzz Report as one of the bonuses, and the more books I sell, the higher up the list my bonus will appear. Which means more downloads, and more subscribers for me. So help me put my bonus as high up the list as possible and I'll be grateful. :)

What are you Waiting for? Get Mark's Simpleology book now and your Bonus gifts worth over $6825.


Good Luck, and happy hunting!

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)
