Creating a Blog Video

Producing your own blog videos is a great way to gain interest for what it is you are offering – whether it be a service or a product. Blog videos are contagious! They can be watched by one person and that person passes it on to several other people they think may be interested. It can also be posted on one site and viewed by thousands that landed on your particular website. Talk about viral marketing!

So, how do I achieve my success with my video blogs? It’s pretty simple. It just takes proper planning and solid implementation.

The latest blogger buzz is blogging from YouTube. Basically if you’re a video blogger, you can upload your videos directly to Blogger.com blog platform. You can easily post your YouTube videos to your blog because Blogger makes it fairly easy for the non-techie.

Anyways, all you need to do to set up your YouTube account to post videos to your blog using the share button. Usually you’ll enter your blog information once, and then once you click “share” from any YouTube video page, it will be available to the masses.

Let me explain even exactly how I do this. First of all, you can use Blogspot (Blogger.com), which is a free hosting service. You simply go inside your Blogger settings where it says “Publishing.” However, I choose to publish via FTP. You can actually do the same by creating a custom domain so that you can point your own registered domain to your blog. That’s exactly what I do.

So, it’ll ask you, what is the FTP server? So let me give you an example. You can’t do this because you’re not going to know my username and password, but my example is this…

My FTP server is ftp.MattBacak.com, so you want to do ftp.yourdomain.com. And then it says, “What is your blog URL?” Well, since my blog URL is actually my actual URL, I just typed in my URL, so it was http://www.mydomain.com. And the next thing it says “FTP pass.” Well, FTP pass is actually – is a forward slash, that’s all I put there. It says “Blog index file.” The file name is index.html. The reason is because if the file already exists on your server it’ll be overwritten. So I am having my main page, that page is specially designed for my blog so I want it to always be the index page. Now it says, “Feed file name” and then they’ll put the file name there. After that it says, “FTP information” – that’s where I put my username and my password and then I pushed that and that’s all I did. Now my video blog is up and running and I can continue to submit more videos as I create them.

Set up your blog account at blogger or publish via FTP. Whichever you choose, as long as you make your videos and publish them, your videos will become a viral machine and you’ll start to see further growth in your online business.

Meet My Mom Wednesday Night…

Every time someone meets mymother, they always ask herhow exactly did she raise me.

They want to know:

What she did differently to raise me.

Many people don’t realize thatmy brother is very wealthy too.

So I asked her to get on thephone and do a special telecallfor all the parents called:

“Raising a Millionaire”

I’ll let you in on all the details tomorrow.

FYI: We grew up lower middleclass. There really hasn’t beenany millionaires in the familysince the 1700’s – I think.

Teleseminars: Communicate with Your Visitors

Holding a teleseminar takes patience, planning and true professionalism. If you are holding a teleseminar always remember to communicate thoroughly with your audience. What I mean by “thoroughly” is don’t only send them email message reminders, but also give them a call. As long as your opt-in form has an area where they can enter their first name, email address and phone number, you’re good to go! By giving your visitors and prospects a call you are personalizing your contact with them. You’re making them feel special and they are respecting you not only as an authority but also as a very professional and trustworthy individual that in the end they’ll feel comfortable giving you their credit card information to “make the sale”!

So, if you’ve read any of my past articles on teleseminars, you know I strongly recommend voice mail blasts. That’s right. Calling your prospect and confirming the teleseminar details is a sure way to increase your call-in numbers. What you do with voice blasts is you’ll call your opt-in visitor an hour in advance, then a half an hour before the call and then send them a quick email fifteen minutes before the call giving them the call-in details. You will reconfirm the details you’ve already messaged them in your voice mail blast. Your email should sound something like this:

“Hi, here’s the phone numbers again and I just wanted to let you know, I’m on the other line waiting for you. Now that you have the phone in your hand, it’s going to be pretty easy for you to dial in.” Something to that.

They’ll think that you’re organized and professional and they will value your reminder messages to them. Remember, your JV speaker on the call is most likely going to sell something to your audience. But make sure you sell at the end of the call.

What I usually do at the end of the call with my JV partner is I will give the speaker the URL to drive everybody to. I do this so that they can go through and order from the location that I want them to – that’s the location associated with this particular JV’s teleseminar. I also may set up a voice mail that’s specifically designed for them, for – basically, what that offer says online when the people go to it. I’ll also have a voice mail that says that same exact thing to get people to go there, too. I’ll ensure that everything is set up so that all the money comes to me first. This ensures I keep track of the sales being made. I get access to the money because this is my teleseminar and my list.

After we do that, then the last thing is, I pay my JV partner 30 days out. It’s a 50/50 split on all the deals that I do. I suggest you do the same because you need to make this a win-win for both you and your JV partner. Afterall, all they had to do was talk for an hour and make thousands of dollars in return. It’s a pretty sweet deal. You too can make deals like this if you only set them up and just make it happen!

Deciding on a day for your teleseminar can be a challenge if you’ve never held a teleseminar. But if you have held teleseminars the only way to know which days are best is to test. If you haven’t done that already, today is your day because I’ve done the testing for you.

Having run hundreds of teleseminars over the years I am well versed in what days work and which days don’t. So, what day of the week do you want to do your call? If you’re not sure let me help you pick a days that will produce great results.
Let’s look at Mondays! Mondays are typically very good at doing training calls. Mondays work best when you’re not selling anything. It’s strictly training. That’s why there’s a lot of training calls happening right at this moment, because training calls are really good on Monday nights. It’s not a really good sales night. Everybody’s kind of getting the flow of things and everything else, and it’s one of those days that’s not the best selling day.
Tuesdays on the other hand are great selling days. You’ll probably want to write that down. Tuesdays are great selling days to do teleseminars!
Wednesdays are really good selling days also. However, there are some outside influences that can cause a lower turnout for Wednesdays. The big thing, especially here in the South, is church.
Thursdays are a great day to make things happen. That’s why a lot of people out there are doing telecalls on Thursday nights. That’s why I do them on Thursday nights.
Friday…I haven’t found Friday nights to be very good. I’ve never actually done one, but I don’t think they would be a very good turnout. Fridays are actually kind of really bad past 11:00 or 12:00 because everybody’s kind of leaving work or taking the day off. They are tired and the last thing they want to do is listed to a call. Fridays are usually relaxation days.
Saturdays are great days to do telecalls. I’ve found Saturday mornings are really good! Plus in the mornings you pick up all the people that never could get on the call during the week. Saturday nights, I haven’t really tested.
Sundays – I’ve never tested a Sunday. I choose not to do those on Sundays.
Once you’ve decided on what date it is, you should send two emails. So if I’m doing a Thursday call, I’ll send an email out on Tuesday and Thursday, driving them to the squeeze page. So I’ll have all these people coming in to my main squeeze page – the one for my niche.
Once you have them funnelled in there you should then send out a specific email to that list saying: “Hey, I’m doing a telecall, go here to sign up for the call.” They’ll go to the page, they’ll fill in their information and voila – you’ve captured their name and they’re ready for the call. But just remember that you need to include an email to the autoresponder sequence. Inside the email you need to give them the phone number and the PIN code for the call, so they automatically get it when they sign up.
Choose your date carefully and funnel in your visitors. As long as you take the time to prepare and organize how you capture the names of your visitors and choose a winning day, there should be no reason why your teleseminar should be unsuccessful. Proper planning leads to great results!

After Following the 3 Step Teleseminar Process… Create Your CPanel Redirect & Plan Your Process

If you’ve read my last article on my three step teleseminar process you’ll have a good idea of how to prepare for your next teleseminar. After you have your JV partners lined up for your call and are working on increasing your list through your web form, the next thing that you need to do is create a redirect in your cpanel.

What I do is I’ll typically go into my control panel and I’ll create what’s called a redirect. A redirect is a link that when clicked on leads to another link url. So what this means is instead of me saying “Hey guys, just wanted you to know, go to www.mclss.com/cgi-bin/1239/245/” or some other crazy link I’ll create a new link inside the C-panel which is a redirect. I’ll create something like www.promotingtips.com/formula. That’s exactly how I do it. It’s actually a redirect to my order link. And so what happens is I’m forwarding that link to the actual order link. So when I’m on the call, I’ll say, “Hey, guys, where I want you to go right now is promotingtips.com/formula. That’s promotingtips.com/formula.” This is a great strategy especially if you are working with a long ugly url address. It allows you to say a clean and easy to understand web address while you’re on a teleseminar call. Your visitors will be able to follow what you are saying much easier than if you gave them a difficult url to write down.

By doing this you not only make it easy for them to comprehend but you make it as easy as possible so that you can make the sale!

You may be wondering why I create my redirect in my shopping cart. Well, the reason is so that it goes through my merchant account.

Once you have your shopping cart and redirects set up, you’ll want to concentrate on your squeeze page. I’m not too keen on sending out an email, saying, “Here’s the phone number to get on the call, here’s all that stuff…” Why? Well, you want to be able to capture your visitors name and email address. Basically, you want to make sure you capture people’s information so you can put them in a new autoresponder. So what I’ll do is I’ll go inside Autoresponse Plus (that’s the software I use to create my squeeze pages) and I’ll create a new autoresponder.

But here’s a great trick I know you’ll love! When you are creating an autoresponder email address use dates. Put the date and the year of each particular teleseminar. I use this method and it works really well for me. I decided not only to put the date but also the year because it’s really important for me to know what year that call happened. I need to know this because I’ve done calls three and four years ago.

If you’ll be doing teleseminar calls for years to come, then you should definitely ensure you have the year written in the email address as well for example tele110808@mydomain.com . That would be the email address or the autoresponder name. So basically, once you have that done, you need to create a squeeze page that is associated with that autoresponder. So, you need to connect the form of the autoresponder on the squeeze page and create a specific squeeze page so that you can capture people’s information.

You’ll want to create a place where people can go to sign up. You can do this by capturing their first name, their email address, and their phone number. As long as you clearly state what they are signing up for ensuring you mention the benefits they will gain by listening to the call, you’re sure to get a ton of sign ups. So, if you’re going to hold a teleseminar, as long as you have your squeeze page set up leading to a new autoresponder for each teleseminar – this will allow you to be able to know exactly where your visitors are going. As long as you plan and implement your process, your call is sure to be a success!

Divide Your Teleseminar into 3 Parts for Ultimate Success!

As any web site owner knows, and if you’ve read any of my articles you know that I am a big fan of teleseminars. But what many web site owners fail to realise is that there is a science to holding your teleseminars – a 3 step process. Let me explain…

What I usually do is divide the teleseminar up into three major parts. Now, the first part we have is before the call, the second major part we have is during the call, and the third major part we have is after the call. These are three key important parts.

Now, the first part is really focused on getting ears to phones. Your personal job is to get as many ears to phones as you can possibly get.

For the second part you’re going to want somebody to get on the call, such as a JV partner or someone like that to do some or all of the talking for you. You want to make sure that they have the ability to sell and to make you a lot of money, or you have the ability to sell. It’s really important to make that happen.

The next thing you want to do is make sure your merchant account is set up. I use PowerPay. I run everything through PowerPay. And so what I will do is – if there’s something happening in the background, let’s say I’ve got somebody else that’s speaking on my call. I’ll say, “Hey, let me know what your offer is? Do you have your offer online?” They will say yes or no. If they say, “Well, I’ve only done this offline at seminars,” then I’ll say to them, “Okay, well, tell you what, are you going to offer the same package that you offered at those events?” They’ll say, “Yeah.” I’ll say, “Can you email me over your order form, the exact order form that you would give people when you’re selling it from stage?” And they’ll say, “Okay,” and they’ll send it over. Basically, the reason I ask for that is because that order form is what I create and I set up inside my shopping cart. I want to make sure my merchant account is set up with my shopping cart.
But inside my shopping cart, I want to create an order form.

With the order form you can use what’s called a top html. And that top html is going to be saying the same exact thing as that file would that you would be handing out – the order form. So it’ll have, like – a lot of times people will say, “Yes, I’m ready to discover XYZ and save this much money with the following bonuses.” And then it’ll say Bonus #1, Bonus #2, Bonus #3, Bonus #4 or 5, whatever it is, and then a guarantee a lot of times. So you can have a special link, and this will be a link that the shopping cart will create for you, which when people go to it, will actually go to an order form where they can fill in their personal information like their first name, their last name, their email address, their phone number, and their credit cards information.

These are the first three things you must do when setting up your teleseminar. It’s a great process that has worked very well for me and returned huge results. I’m sure if you follow this three step process you too will see great results!

Teleseminars – What to Do First

A great way to keep your website visitors loyal is to offer them good information. Having expert interviews from those who are known in a niche is a great way to keep people coming back to your website. You could offer written interviews for your visitors to read on your website, but the best way is by offering teleseminars. What is a teleseminar? It’s a phone interview or seminar. Your visitors call a special number with a special call-in code assigned to that number and they get to listen to people talk about a particular topic.

Teleseminars are amazing tools to use in your business as it keeps your visitors engaged, allows you to look like the go-to person in your niche because you’re offering great information; but it can also make you a nice income if you choose to sell your teleseminar as an audio file or by having your visitors pay to hear the call simply because the information is not readily accessible elsewhere.

So, how do you go about holding your own teleseminar? Well, it’s a fairly simple task.

After you have someone lined up for your teleseminar, the first thing you want to do when setting it up is arrange to have as many lines as you think you will need on the call.

If you’re going to have less than 100 people on the call, you can use freeteleconferencing.com. If it’s over 100 people, I’ll typically use Eagle Teleconferencing. Also, I know some people who recommend Instant Teleseminar which is a phone plus web simulcast. However, I’m not too keen on web simulcasts also known as webinars. I prefer to strictly use a phone conferencing company only. The reason for this is basically, if you’ve got a lot of people on the call, especially when you’re trying to sell something, you don’t want to have people fiddling around with their computers trying to get them to work. You want to make it as easy for them as possible to access the call. Not everyone is good with computers which means there’s too many points of failure. This is one of my concerns with webinars.

The way I see it is you don’t want to use anything where there’s too many points of failure because this can affect your bottom line. The only thing that can possibly go wrong with a teleconference is if the phones or the lines don’t work on either end (this is why you’ve got to make sure you reserve enough lines).

In the end if you are running a website you should definitely consider how you can add teleseminars to monetize your site more. Teleseminars can make you a lot more money and keep your existing visitors as well as your new visitors coming back for more.

The JV Approach Letter

JV’s or joint ventures are a popular way that businesses partner with other businesses and leverage their products and resources to make more money. According to Wikipedia.org a joint venture is “an entity formed between two or more parties to undertake economic activity together. The parties agree to create a new entity by both contributing equity, and they then share in the revenues, expenses, and control of the enterprise”.

When you approach a potential joint venture partner what you need to do is tell people exactly what the product is, how much money your splits are going to be and how they can contact you. So when I start and go through, what you want to do is say something like, “Hey, my name is Matt and I’m looking for people that are interested in promoting XYZ product which is in this niche” or whatever. Say, “I’m going to pay out this much money per product. Contact me so I can get you started making money now.” Or something like that.

Next, once we get to the point where, after I get done with the questions, submit that and guess what? I’ll send out an email to everybody and let them know about the joint venture. Once that is done you’ll probably get people to contact you and do a joint venture. But what you really need to do is start getting your marketing funnel set up. You need to have it ready just to make it easier on everybody, is write the emails for people to market the product for. If you have the product made, you need to get the sales letter up as soon as possible.

When you get the sales letter up, you need to get emails written to drive people to that page. You want to have them written so you can just hand them to your affiliates and have them send out an email with that offer to their list. It’s a really good way to generate more sales and more traffic. You should also send the same emails to your list as well. But when you do you might want to test out various versions of the emails with your list first and then you can pass along the winning emails to your partners. You may want to say something like, “Hey, here’s some emails that I’ve used for my list. They’ve worked really well. Use these.”

Once you get a few JV deals you will begin seeing an increase in both your traffic and your revenues!
