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.

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,

Reality TV Shows are Super Viral!

Yes indeed, reality TV shows ARE super viral, and that's why there are so many of them these days. They are hugely successful.

Why?

There are a number of reasons for this. First and foremost I would say it's because the reviewer can really relate to the contestants, as they are often average people. This gives them a lot more empathy and rapport with the contestants of the show, and makes them feel more involved themselves. The diversity of different characters chosen for these shows is often intentionally done so that many of the different psychelogical archetypes are covered, and that way more viewers can find one or more people that they can closely relate to. This entices those viewers to choose someone that they like, and want to cheer them on to win.

Viewer participation also adds to their desire to keep following each episode and gives them a feeling that they help choose the outcome of winners or losers. Now when those viewers feel that they can influence the outcomes, this is where the real viral power kicks in. With their desire for their chosen character to win, they will be eager to tell their friends about the show, and about their favorite characters. They will then urge their friends to watch and vote, so that their circle of influence becomes greater.

These are the mental incentives, and when also matched with easy viral tools to spread the word about what's going on even faster, this could literally explode, and has!

However, it's about to unveil a new kind of Reality Show! Internet Reality Television!

You heard right, and you know what that means? It means that viral tools can be utilized more easily to spread the word even faster, because the viewers will be in a position to use them at any time.

Joel Comm and Eric Holmlund have teamed up to create the first internet marketers reality show online called:

"Next Internet Millionaire"

This sounds and looks like a lot of fun, and it'll be an interesting viral experiment to observe. I'll tell you right now that I'll be watching closely to see what they do right, and possibly what can be done better (If anything).

They are going to be setting a standard for new internet reality tv shows, and I can only imagine that there will soon be more popping up all over the place, so pay attention to this one.

If you're as eager as I first was to check it out, then click here NOW!

It has only just recently been unveiled, and they are still taking auditions for becoming a contestant yourself. Do YOU want to be the Next Internet Millionaire? Make a video audition and see if you can get voted onto the show.

If you just want to participate as a viewer, then go to the site where you can watch the current video auditions and vote on a scale of 1-10 for which ones you like the best. Some of them look pretty good.

Go Check it out and Vote NOw!

I hope you enjoy the viral experiment, however you choose to participate.

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!

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!

Peace and Prosperity,

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)
