In a few months, Traci S Campbell will join my list of recommended authorities for our video training series. She is the leading advocate and coach for teens from single parent families, as well as the host for Heroes at Home Radio. This is an online radio show that inspires single parents by honoring those that are working  hard to become successful in all areas of their lives. Traci has been a blessing  in my life for many reasons. The most obvious is because I had been a single parent for the majority of my younger son’s years. I respect that she has been helping so many people (single moms, single dads, married couples, teens, tweens, psychologists, other advocates) and can relate to her passion for making this difference in the lives of as many families and children that she can help. I continuously learn from her knowledge, professionalism and loving spirit of this friend.

Traci will release her first book and teen coaching program – The C.H.A.M.P. Within. There is still time to get the free audio and transcript from the left hand side of her blog at http://blog.traciscampbell.com – she also has interesting blog discussions that will help your friends and family learn more about teens, pre-teens and family value systems.

As 2010 would have it, my 1st video training took a “back seat” to an extremely important person in my life … My 10 year old son, Jonny “MJ” Charlton. I am using it as our January 2010 Video Marketing example. We hope that you pay attention to this case study and use this information to help YOUR business with video marketing

As the ball dropped on Jan 1, 2010, Jonny “MJ” Charlton (my son) appeared in a dress shirt and pants, Michael Jackson glove and hat, socks dirty from running outside to set off fireworks and EXCITEDLY announced that he wanted to make a video to get started on his 2010 New Year goal. I stood scratching my head wondering what he was up to. Roxy and Coby got the video camera ready. We ventured into a room with enough space (still unpacking from trip to Florida) and my son instructed us to play the song Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. When he was finished, he instructed us to load the video to Youtube and TAUNTED ME that he had made his video before me – LOL

We recorded as he danced to Billie Jean and had a great time – SEE VIDEO BELOW.

He announced that he knew what he wanted to do for a living, “be a Michael Jackson impersonator and professional WWE wrestler”, so that he could use these to help kids with Aspergers, ADHD, ADD, ODD and this spectrum of disabilities. Coby and I did as he requested. I launched his coordinating blog and told all of our family / friends. The next day we promoted his video a bit on January 1st and a few more hours during the month. In total, it was about 1 1/2 day of marketing in January 2010.  According to the Youtube statistics, Jonathan’s Michael Jackson video received 3,391 hits, 37 Comments and 30 five star rankings in 31 days? Google Analytics shows his blog received over 292 visits although the link was added to his video post mid-month. He is extremely proud!

Video Marketing Training #1 – What does this mean to you?

Well, this 10 year old started the 2010 new year with a goal in mind and the passion to accomplish it quickly. In comparison to some of the videos we come across and that I have marketed in the past, Jonny’s Michael Jackson video had fast branding success in under 2 days of video marketing. He did some things that many work at home and corporate professionals refuse to do:

1) He made a solid marketing decision and acted upon it quickly.

2) He utilized effective video marketing resources.

3) He asked help from people that were skilled in particular areas where he is not.

4) He chose a fantastic niche based on market popularity and personal interests.

Most of all, he dropped any insecurities about his chubby belly, not having the best dance planned and being shy about performing in front of others … went with the Nike “just do it” philosophy and just did what he set out to do.

With the Google Caffeine changes, social media marketing is even more important to your business than you could have imagined. Videos, Twitter, Press Releases, News Feeds, Blogging and other Social Sites like Myspace, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. are you very best platforms when it comes to organic SEO and Internet Marketing. My next Video Marketing Training will discuss a network that was VERY important to my branding and development in the past year … This friend has a new video training series that will help you, too.

How did I help my little Michael Jackson Impersonator accomplish his goal?

1) I supported my tween in his marketing decision although it felt like a risk to the parent in me.

2) I immediately posted the video to YouTube while doing marketing analysis in other browser windows to determine who he was competing with & what keywords (including his name).

3) Once the video was posted, I added the title, description and keyword in the YouTube boxes.

4) I made sure to add his website link as the first text of the description and mine at the end, then set it as the main video on my Youtube homepage – http://www.youtube.com/leacharlton

5) I cloaked the link, tweeted it and sent the info to family and friends, so that they could watch, rank and comment. Some retweeted and social feed for us, so that he could get the exposure.

6) I took a few minutes to post his Michael Jackson video as responses to other’s similar videos.

7) He already owned the domain, though it had a very old website builder on it. I added Wordpress, a cute template and the content that he dictated to me, while I had Coby posting his video to locations on the Internet, ping and feed. This took a few hours of the first day of marketing.

Imagine if you had over 3391 Youtube video views and 292 hits to your new website in less than 2 days of marketing. You would be much better off in your business, as a result of video marketing, than you were last year.

The following is his Michael Jackson Impersonation Video – Let us know what you think!

TIMOTHY L DROBNICK HAS DONE IT AGAIN … THIS IS HIS “SHOW STOPPER” FOLKS!

October 2008, Timothy L Drobnick launched a website offering free leads and free advertising. I joined and literally “lost my mind” in the encapsulating “orange world”. His website was different than the others I had tested. There was no “catch” to getting the free leads and advertising. People still join because of the free leads and free advertising. However, it has taken on more colors and close to 50,000 members since it launched. You can still find me there as user #561 because of the help he has provided to me. Orange Leads was beneficial for just about any program or business tool that I wanted to market; including helping me offer SEO Marketing services in the home business industry. This happened much more rapidly than if I had used traditional social sites, forums or pay per click services. Tim has HELPED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE learn how to start a business or brand within an existing one, and / or make money online.

Most impressively, Tim programmed this suite of Business and Internet Marketing resources while the members were referring (building their own lists) and using the portal. This is quite an accomplishment as most programmers prefer to create a website and then develop memberships after it has been completed. In this case, Tim’s portal was expanded as the members made suggestions to him, based on their needs, as well as per his creative business objectives. It is quite a suite of programs that most people can use to accomplish online business goals.

FIRST, YOU HAVE TO LEARN WHAT IS AVAILABLE.

Orange Leads is the recruiting and marketing platform.
Once you are a member, you are automatically a member of the following suite of programs:  1) Oogads (Classifieds Site), 2) iHid (Link Cloaker), 3) Tweetposts (Twitter Automation), 4) IIC0C (Internet International Chamber of Commerce), 5) Retailbucks and 6) Free Text Ads

Avalanche Money System is the business opportunity. It is perfect for those who do not already have a business or would like to generate additional multiple streams of residual income. Once you join this system, you are automatically a member of the following programs 1) Global Domains Internatinal (GDI), 2) Headhunter and 3) Portal Director. Add your Avalanche User ID to Orange Leads and use both systems.

SECOND, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEM & APPLY TO ANY BUSINESS.

There has always been one problem with Orange Leads … all of the members could not use the suite of programs. This is not for Tim’s lack of trying to keep people informed. He appointed admins to help answer questions (James and I were the first) and he has always been active in the network to help the members as well. Tim and some of the members made videos to show how to use the different facets. Tim assigned even more admin to help. Tim has always kept an up to date blog of changes and additions. Still, a great portion of the members felt overwhelmed by what the massive portal offered and there are many that are capable but just not motivated to learn on their own; even though the active members explained how the suite of Orange Leads programs would help their business.

Similar to how overwhelming it is to use Facebook or Linkedin for the first time …

So they quit and choose to use easier networks until they understood that they are missing out on a HUGE share of their markets by avoiding those valuable resources. This is the situation with the suite of programs that Tim created. Although the more savvy users were requesting more features and Tim was coming up with ideas of his own, those that were already confused and new members could not figure out how to use all facets, none-the-less make them benefit their business so that they could make money.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH MOST MARKETING & BUSINESS SYSTEMS … PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FILL IN THE GAPS … GET THE “NUGGETS” OF INFORMATION THAT HELP THEM PIECE IT ALL TOGETHER IN ORDER TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL.

For this reason, the VipWealthClub is a training program that I recommend.

1) Tim’s VIP Wealth Club (training) is really inexpensive and self paced.

2) You can use it to learn how to market your Free Orange Leads programs or ANY business.

3) Tim will share his years of business and marketing experience in the VIP Wealth Club.

The videos are based on what the VIP Wealth Club members ask Tim to teach them and his years of experience. He makes weekly videos based on these focuses.

THIS RECORDING WAS MADE FOR MY REFERRALS . TO DATE, THIS IS 3666 ORANGE LEADERS THAT HAVE MY ADVERTISEMENTS SHOWING ON THEIR CONTROL PANELS IN ADDITION TO THE 50,000 THAT I CAN MARKET TO DAILY BECAUSE OF TIM’S ORANGE LEADS.

I have written tons of blogs and created many network groups about this suite of programs, but Orange Leads has always been my favorite. I latched on so tightly, that people thought that I worked for Tim and called all of the time – LOL Meanwhile, I was not working for him. I simply understood the potential that his system has for helping people learn how to market and make money online. There are videos, written instructions and always someone there to help in the public chat room; including the owner himself.

In my opinion, you can use Tim’s suite of programs whether you are in home business OR a corporate business owner. It just depends on online marketing and business goals. The whole package is an Internet Marketing System (a virtual office per say) that creates income streams for entrepreneurs and / or helps them market their own business. Whether you are in home business, real estate, insurance or other sales oriented industry, you can very well find your next “star” or client base by using the suite of Orange Leads programs … if you are not lazy!
