Talk about POWER video marketing! You'll want this service.


tubemogulWith the Video Marketing Playshop just a few weeks away, I wanted to give you a peek at some of the content we will be offering -- and I am excited about this one in particular.

From one of my guest experts who will be featured in the Playshop and is scheduled for our
August Social Media Savvy Culture Club monthly call, I am grateful to bring you a guest article by Jennifer Goodwin of

Although YouTube is powerful enough to handle your viral video marketing alone - but paired with TubeMogul, your video marketing campaign will blast off!

What is TubeMogul? If you are familiar our favorites - Ping.fm or Hootsuite you know this service will send your status updates out to ALL of your social networks at the same time without you having to log in to each and every service to copy the same information to your viewers.

Well, TubeMogul does the same thing, but for videos.

It takes your video from your computer or on the web (premium accounts) and sends it out to the top video hosting sites. Now that’s exciting!

Here are the initial BENEFITS of TubeMogul:

· Saves time and bandwidth uploading to ONE site
· It is free up to a certain number of uploads per month
· It provides tracking/analytics
· It gets your videos out to many more eyeballs

Technically, it utilizes a system known as OneLoad that requires a video to be uploaded once in order for it to send it out to all the different networking sites of your choice.

And even better, after uploading and sending out to all those other sites, TubeMogul will tell you which videos are performing best, who’s viewing your videos, location of your viewers, and time spent on your video.

TubeMogul supports distribution to over 25 different video hosting sites. All users get access to a set of general video sites that accept all types of content. Users who want to upload to specialized content sites (e.g. CarDomain, etc.) will be granted access based on the type of content they upload.

Here are the general access sites:

Blip.tv

Dailymotion

Facebook

Flickr*

iTunes

LinkedIn

Metacafe

MySpace

Photobucket

Twitter

Veoh

Vimeo Plus

YouTube

Content Specific Sites

Bing

Brightcove

CarDomain

If you need any help, TubeMogul’s site offers some great videos and our favorite “set it up” team over at www.internetGIRLfriday.com can take care of getting it squared away for you!

Rank higher in Google - the easy way!

Have you ever wished that your business was on the first page of Google for your keywords? I bet you have!


SEO has become a common term among online business owners. Everyone has a different trick they swear will get you to the top, but it doesn't have to be that hard!


How can you do it? With video marketing!


Americans now spend more time watching videos each month on YouTube than they do searching on Google. Even YouTube mobile gets over 100 million views a day!


And with blended searches on Google, a video is 50 times more likely to get a first-page Google ranking than a text page.


There has never been a better time to dig out your camera and have some fun! Engage your audience in an authentic way through video.


I know it can be scary, but it's worth it. Not sure where to even start? That's where Chris and I come in. We will be walking you (and your friends) through a 5-step system to produce and market your 1st or updated personally branded video so you can market effectively and powerfully.


Grab a seat at our Playshop before the $297 rate goes away at midnight Pacific tonight - even if you have to fly in for the excellent content!


Join us for some fun on the beach and finally move up in the Google rankings! Details here.

It's really not about the money; it almost never is...it's about living a lifestyle


"The goal may be to earn a certain amount of money. Yet, it's really not about the money; it almost never is...it's about living a lifestyle."

- Ramit Sethi of "Find Your First Profitable Idea"


When I read that mind-shifting quote, I had one of those aha moments as I re-read (re-read) that from an email one of my Master coaches sent me.

Then at dinner Friday evening with one of my long-standing valued clients, we were discussing the coaching program he was in that helped him build a lifestyle not necessarily a business - but a business that works on leverage, systems while supporting his ideal lifestyle. I was so impressed with his results. He loves golf and rarely had time to golf in the "old way" he used to run his dental practice. Now he is playing golf twice a week on an average and works less but accomplishes more. Very, very inspiring.


See, we always attract the right info at the precise moment we need it. The Universe just works in that way. I had been asking for guidance from my intuition to direct me to a new way of thinking because lately the stresses of daily life and all the determination of hard work had clouded my real reason for serving people in the best way I know how. Yes, I am in business to serve others to succeed, however, what is it that we ALL really are seeking?

It's that sometimes elusive, all encompassing LIFESTYLE we deeply desire. As entrepreneurs - the last thing we want is to be a slave to our business where the business is running us instead of us running it. I'm learning it's not about the money; it's what that money, discipline, and systems can provide for us.


So would you not agree then what we really are after is a lifestyle - NOT the money?

So, I have been in deep thought with "It's not a business I am building; it's a lifestyle." As part of my process and soul searching, I am writing down the exact details of what that lifestyle FEELS like and looks like AS IF it's already here. And, I trust in the Universe to present to me opportunities, people, events, and more to lead me to that LIFESTYLE. I have no idea HOW that will happen, but I am willing to get clear on how that LIFESTYLE feels and looks and just trust and take action.

I encourage you then to take a moment and a deep breath to ask yourself the same thing, "What is the lifestyle I am really desiring? Isn't this what I am truly wanting with all this hard work?" And then write it out, review it often, but surrender and let go in how it will happen.


I'd love to know how it goes for you. There's plenty of room to post here. Please do. There is power in numbers (and the energy behind it). Bring it on.


In gratitude,
Marla
