So I’ve spent the past few days working VERY hard on my video entry for Alex Jeffreys’ $1000 contest. Alex has offered a cool grand for the most creative and content-filled video posted by August 19th.
This was inspired by the special call with video-marketing genius Maria Andros that MWA students were privy to.
While the video is not 100% complete… I do have 5 scenes “in the can.”
Here are a few screenshots to whet your appetitite.

Man, let me tell you… the last week has been insane… trouble with the condo association… trouble with insurance companies…. friends in need…. insomnia…. ACK!!
But that’s real life for ya.
So I am lucky that I am an Internet Marketer… because I was able to go deal with all of those problems… and while I’m still new enough that my business didn’t grow a lot while I was away… it didn’t collapse either!
If I had a real job I probably would have been ready to pop from the stress. Thankfully I was able to take the time to deal with the BS… and still have something to come back to.
So now it’s Monday again… and no live call this week. This week is a recording of a call between Alex Jeffreys and Maria Andros, the “Queen of Video Marketing”… so that’s gonna be an eye-opener! (Pardon the pun.)
I am currently putting together videos for my Science of the Sale series, so anything I can learn tonite is only going to help with that project.
Also… check back tomorrow as I will be posting a video that I made for my friend Sarah Staar promoting her new product.
Until tomorrow…
Peace,

OK… so this is NOT an original idea, so I’m not taking credit for the concept… but I have used the technique with some success, so I’m sharing it with you now.
Russell Brunson tells a great story about (I hope I get the details right…) a time when Suze Orman was going on the Oprah Winfrey show. Picking up on this in advance, he had a bunch of articles written mentioning him in the same sentence with Suze Ormond (e.g. “What does Russell Brunson know that Suze Ormond doesn’t?“), and posted these articles in all the usual places (i.e. www.ezinearticles.com www.goarticles.com www.usfreeads.com).
By the time of the Suze Ormond appearance, Russell’s articles and pages ranked highly for Google searches for “Suze Ormond.” What happened was, by now, predictable.
Tens of thousands of people were exposed to the world of Suze Ormond, all because of the Oprha Effect. Thousands of those people immediately logged on to Google and searched for Ms. Ormond. And they found Russell Brunson!
Do you think Russell was happy with the results?
Now of course, not everyone can make use of Oprah Winfrey… her broadcasts haven’t been picked up on interstellar feeds as far as we know, so even HER audience is limited. But there are numerous other popular shows with guests.
The week of June 28 the highest rated talk shows were:
And this list doesn’t include faux-news giants The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report.
Don’t try to rank for celebrities… you’d likely never get ranked in time. But look for authors and musicians, especially names you aren’t familiar with. If you don’t know who they are, likely most of America doesn’t either… and that’s your target.
The author of a new non-fiction book about capitalism probably has fewer than 20,000 Google references for his or her name… what Internet Marketers would consider a non-competetive keyword market… making it easy pickins for anyone with any SEO knowledge. But on that ONE day, the searches on that keyword will spike… and you want to be there!
It’s like Alex Jeffreys always tells me… “Don’t chase the money… Let the money chase you.”
In other words… be in the way when the traffic shows up… don’t be lagging behind trying to catch it.
Well… hope this helps someone… if it has, or you have any suggestions to add, please leave a comment below!
And watch out for my upcoming video about the Oprah Effect, coming soon!

I was going to get some work done today… I have become a bit of a work-a-holic, now that I’m chief cook and bottlewasher.
But it’s Saturday… and I’m on strike for today… Talk to you Monday!

I made a bunch of changes. Can you see them? Yeah… probably not…
First… there is now an Opt-In box over to the right ————–>
Hopefully that will attract a little attention!
Second, I added Twitter and Facebook follows on the sidebar…
Not thrilled with TwitterCounter… it’s not updating and apparently hasn’t in a while. Need to find a better alternative.
I tried adding a Welcome Video… having a little trouble figuring out how to place it correctly… any suggestions would be awesome!
Third and most importantly, I added an “About Me” page that really is About Me… it’s my personal story so far. It’s kinda long… so skim it if you want.
Can’t figure out why there’s no comments box appearing at the bottom of my About Me page… the code seems to be fine, and not commented out… not sure. Once again… any ideas you can suggest would be awesome!
UPDATE: Figured that problem out… turned out that the comments code was everywhere except on page.php, so now the comment boxes appear just fine! WooHoo!
I also need to go and get a nice title graphic designed… that will really spice things up!
Anyway… drop me a line if you have any suggestions about how I can get my few little glitches ironed out!
Peace,
Alan

It really is in my hallway! Sorry the light isn’t better, but it IS a hallway after!

OK look… there’s no reason not to share! Alex is teaching me things that are actually helping me build my business. I have gotten more productive work done in the past 4 days than I had done in the prior month!
So anyway listen… I want you to check out this book… it’s 22 of the best pages you’ll read this year… no lie!
Go and check it out… and then leave a comment here letting me know how you liked it and how I can help!! Internet Marketing has never been so FUN!
Peace!

I have to tell you, this new organized me is really working out well.
I’ve been “working” on this thing for weeks, yet only had it half done. Today I used Alex’s techniques and worked in three PRODUCTIVE chunks today and finished it!
Of course I still need to proof it, and get a title page on it. Then its off to Kunaki.com with it.
Once that’s finished, I still need to put up the new graphics on the website, and get the autoresponder active and I’m good to go.
What a rush to actually have something finished, and SUCCESS popping up all over my Master Board!
As soon as it’s ready, you will see it here first!
Until tomorrow…
Peace!
