Im sorry I have to vent…

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Part of the reason why I have a blog is so I can vent. Lord knows I can’t talk to my friends about this stuff, they look at me like im crazy when I start talking SEO, PPC, Viral Marketing, etc.

By the way, BLOG is short for web-log, meaning an online journal of sorts.

Yesterday, I had a coaching call with a client that really got me going. I showed him a few really effective techniques for using video to grow his business. He kept saying, “I just don’t have time to be playing around with cameras all day” Then I showed him the example I’m about to show you, and he had a change of heart.

Although, Im not sure I will ever let my kids on youtube (it is way too easy to find trash), It is a remarkable opportunity for small businesses. For one particular company it turned out to be a gold mine.

Check out the screen shot below. The genius behind blend tech decided to put their blenders to the test by blending up anything from cell phones, to ipods, to video game systems, knowing that people would talk about it. And they did.

viral video marketing

His videos have been seen by over 10 million people. Their sales went thru the roof, and they gained instant market share that companies like Oster, and KitchenAid, spent decades and millions of dollars to gain.

Before you say, “Im a personal trainer, I don’t sell blenders, it won’t work”.

I assure you, If you do it right it will work tremendously,

You have heard all the buzz about my new product that will be coming out soon, it will inlude an entire section on viral video. (using video for profit and business growth)

Gotta run, Big East Basketball tournament is on.
