Holy jumping Jehosephats!

I have just come off the bonus Webinar interview with Maria Andros, the “Video Marketing Queen” of the Internet. Powerful, powerful stuff.

As usual, thank you Alex Jeffreys for organizing this. My head is still spinning.

I realize, of course, that not everybody is a F500 member and therefore was not privy to this TON of information. Yours truly – me – took 8 pages of notes so I am gonna précis the information on this webinar. Naturally I will do so without going too crazy and without handing over, shall we say, “trade secrets” on offer to the 200 or so of the F500 who, like me, availed themselves of this riveting information.

So, rather than waffle on ad-infinitum, I will just bullet point SOME of this information:

As an intro to her credibility and authority in this SUBJECT Maria Andros said she:

  • * made a SIX figure income in her FIRST year of video marketing,
  • * has been invited personally by Richard Branson to attend a seminar,
  • * has 4,500 “followers” on Twitter,
  • * generated, in her FIRST 2 months online (started May 2007), an amount of $12,987,
  • * has over 500,000 people watching her videos,
  • * over 1,850 subscribers on You-Tube.

OK. Have I got YOUR attention? Good. Coz Maria Andros sure got mine!

Here are just some of the many other pertinent things she said:

  • * Video has UNBELIEVABLE reach,
  • * “Your mess is your message” (Clever… the Gazz-Man LIKES that!),
  • * People HATE to be sold to (can’t disagree with that!),
  • * Either swim with the sharks or get eaten,
  • * Forget the recession – there are PLENTY of $ to go round!
  • * In video YOU get to be YOU,
  • * Never apologise for having passion,
  • * YOU can become a “celebrity” online and have your own TV station (Hello Mr Thomas Skavhellen! - over there at station WIDLAS),
  • * Build a loyal fan base of “prospects” who love you,
  • * Videos are “REJECTION FREE” (Gazz-Man: Good for the “shrinking violets” – and, believe it or NOT – I was one!),
  • * It’s not who YOU know, it’s who knows YOU!

Maria then went on to list the 7 Step Video Formula for $UCCE$$, which I won’t repeat here, for obvious reasons. Try space, for one.

She also went on to say:

  • * If content is king then keywords are queen,
  • * With video you can get to the FRONT pages of Google in as little as 66 minutes IF you know how. (Gazz-Man: Sorry. Another “trade secret.”)
  • * Maximize your strengths and LEVERAGE your weaknesses (Gazz-Man: Sound familiar? – Hello Alex Jeffreys!)

Maria then gave 11 ACTION Steps (Gazz-Man: See that word again folks?) which, unfortunately… yep, you guessed it… I can’t share here.

Well, with 8 FULL pages of notes can you IMAGINE the new information that I now have to act upon. That was just a very small SAMPLE of the information that was covered in Maria’s presentation. Maybe 2% to 5%?

Heh…heh… something else – the Gazz-Man must be psychic (or psycho) coz guess what he purchased yesterday? Hint – it has a Carl Zeiss lens and a hard drive and a little panel that shows what is coming through the lens – oh… and a tripod. Go on – have a guess.

So… anyone want to tell me what their thoughts are on all of this?
