Every marketer I know is always looking for the newest and best way to get their content published online. Fact: video is hot. U-Tube has tons of traffic and views. So do alot of other video networks online. The question is , how can you leverage this strategy. The answer is simple. Turning your text articles into video has never been simpler.

What's more you can also turn customer testimonials into video and provide further social proof that your business or services are legitimate and recommended.

Another powerful way for "business to business" or "business to consumer" companies to get their message out is using LinkedIn. With LinkedIn you can connect with associates and develop joint venture partnerships easily. Perhaps you already have tons of LinkedIn recommendations. A LinkedIn recommendation gives you or your company credibility in the eyes of your potential customers. How can you take those recommendations and leverage them? Turn them into to video testimonials. The power of a video testimonial is more effective than text. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

You can get more information on these new video marketing services for turning articles, testimonials and LinkedIn recommendations into video at TRCB.com.

FYI, this is NOT an affiliate link, it's a personal recommendation:) OK, Mr. FTC.

Expand your marketing reach today with video.

Keeping moving forward and upward in the SERPS!

It is smoking hot in Mississippi now, some days we have had 100 degree weather and the heat index along with the humidity makes it difficult to even think about Christmas. But hey, I am an entrepreneur and have multiple e-commerce stores and I have to start preparing now so that I can maximize the time I have now to be prepared in November and December.

I wanted to share my to do list so that it might help other E-commerce marketers get ready as well.

We usually go to some specialty gift markets and do our buying for Christmas around June or July. After the market, I take the orders and start building the spreadsheets to upload the new products, pictures and descriptions. By August 1 to August 15th, I will have those products live. Many people do shop early for Christmas.

Currently, I have an ad posted is 2 places, one at the career center at Mississippi State for an intern for the fall semester and another from the STEPS program with the WIN Job Center. So far, I have gotten a number of people to apply for part-time positions for the holidays. Around August 1-15, I will start interviewing.

The next and most important thing, is planning my email marketing strategy for the holidays. I have a number of holiday graphics saved somewhere on my computer, lol. I will find those and start developing my email templates for holiday promotions starting in October.

I will update you soon of my progress and steps to get ready for Christmas shopping season in August.

Until then, stay cool.

If you own an e commerce or mail order store, your customers are going to have questions. These days customers appreciate fast, quick responses, not emails or returned phone calls the next day…by that time they have packed their bags and purchased from another online store.

Because I have always been a firm believer that great customer service has a huge ROI for my own business, I am always trying to improve the shopping experience.

I like instant gratification too, you know. That is why I signed up for the Free Trial and I am now a monthly customer of Provide Support. What is Provide Support? Live Chat software for live support.

Here is what I love about Live Support:
1. Easy Integration with Your Web Site
2. No Software Installation Required
3. Manage Multiple Chats Simultaneously
4. Call Transfer
5. Operator to Operator Chats
6. Proactive Chats

and finally, I can monitor what my employees are saying to the customers as I get a transcript of every chat sent to my email.

So I can leave the office and never worry that my customers are being taken care of.

The best thing about Stompernet coaching has been the chance to talk
about anything on my mind that I'm currently grappling with. It’s
helped me clarify direction, and often given me specific resources to
accomplish something I need to do. One recommendation by my coach put
an end to months of frustration. How cool is that?!

What would having a professional SEO certification mean for your credentials? Do you think it would allow you to find and retain higher quality clients? Clients that are willing to pay a premium price for your expertise and knowledge?

Well, I speak with internet marketing and SEO consultants every day regarding their business, their clients and their processes and systems. They all ask the same questions:

How can I find new clients?
How can I retain my existing clients?
How can I do a better job of making more money for my client?
How can I develop a long term relationship with my clients?
How can I get more referrals from satisfied clients?
How to form a joint venture?

You get the idea. And these questions are just the tip of the iceberg, there are hundreds of questions that SEO consultants are searching for answers too.

That's why I am so keen on sharing this pre-recorded online training with David Preston.
David is also going to be one of the hand-picked presenters in a couple weeks for SEO Pro. Initially, it was only for the eyes of Stompernet members BUT with the SEO Pro Certification weekend only a few days away…they are letting me post a link to the training and information…as least for a few days.

Brad and David talk about how to put together Joint Ventures
really FAST, and David shares some methods he's never revealed
before that have made him some serious money! You really need to check this out…

Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Keep Moving Forward,

So often we (the internet makers) work in so many different directions trying to do all of the Web 2.0 marketing ideas that we lose focus and actually don't finish anything to a point that it will bring new business to our sites. Having a StomperNet one on one coach who insists that I set and meet a new goal every two weeks has forced my focus on that particular marketing or SEO task to the point that I have actually completed some of what is necessary to succeed.
Of course, having a coach that has done it and is already successfully running their own internet store or marketing campaign is much more meaningful than reading all the free hype from the "Gurus" trying to get you to buy their product.
I owe credit for the forward movement of my internet business to my StomperNet coach Joyce Brister and her insistence for setting goals.

Coaching was included in my subscription to SN and I did not expect it to make such a big impact on my business, as the weeks unfolded and I had more coaching sessions under my belt I realized how valuable coaching had become. From the smallest doubts and thoughts on running a daily business plan to very significant decisions in my business development, Stomper Net coaching had helped me make educated choices and improve processes.. One important feature of coaching is the one on one time with a person that knows that difficulty of a lonely online marketer, just getting some things out and discussing thoughts and ideas is the true gem in the coaching sessions, the friction and confrontation of plans and ideas with the actual execution and ongoing development of the business is something that I regard as an advantage I have over other marketers.
My person experience with Stomper Net coaching had helped me plan and execute better, make faster and wiser decisions and most of all keep my own accountability for the projects and tasks I have, as well as the plans an ideas I develop.
