I have recently gotten more involved in my Video Marketing for my new extra-income driving business venture. In doing so, I have noticed how much more people I am connecting with across the country. Last week I had 3 sales conversions within 2 days all as a result of my videos. Although I knew YouTube.com was a great resource, honestly I didn't realize how beneficial it would be to my company. Here are some interesting statistics I found in regards to how much video marketing works.

According to comScore, the global leader in digital business analysis, so you understand the potential for marketing with video: http://www.incitecreativeinc.com/resources/articles/Does-Video-Marketing-Work?/

• 89 million people will watch 1.2 billion videos today. Yes, today. Not for the week, or for the month, or for the year, but every day.
• Businesses spent $1.4 billion in video marketing on 441 billion videos in 2010. This number continues to increase.
• Video is popular across all age groups. Although 18 – 34 year olds spend the most time watching video, over 80% of the population across all age demographics watches video. So it isn’t just your teen that consumes content on the screen.
• Probably the most important statistic of all, comScore reported that on average retail site visitors who view videos are 64% more likely to purchase than other site visitors.

These stats should give you a little hope when venturing out into Video Marketing. Although it can be scary because you are making yourself available for people to critique, it can still be great for business.

According to Edelman and Adobe, the stats below show how much audiences enjoy videos that tell stories. UNIQUE stories at that. I believe people are captivated by unique stories because of the authenticity. My husband sometimes gets on me about where I choose to shoot my videos but in my research I have found that when you are real with your audience they connect more. Of course that is to an extent. You should never go on camera with a messy house in the background or in your pj's, etc. However, is you have a nice office space or living area feel free to have in the background.

So far Video Marketing is going well for me as a tester campaign. The following are 5 tips on how to make video marketing work for you.

1. Know why you are doing this. Having a lot of viewers is great, but you want to make sure they are targeted viewers that want what you have. So make sure you present it well.

2. Have a script. As boring as that sounds, a script will at least guide your video in the direction it needs to go. Although you may be recording alone, millions could potentially view your video so it can be nerve-racking while recording. So you want to make sure you have a clear understanding of what you are saying to your audience and that there is minimum babble.

3. Be patient & Have time. These two go hand in hand. As I stated earlier, taping can be nerve-racking and lead to having to do a lot of takes. Don't get frustrated, impatient or stop taping because of this. Make sure you regroup in between each take and feel free to practice before taping.

4. Use the right keywords. This is the most crucial part of Video Marketing. You want to make sure you use the correct words in your title and in the tags. I would suggest researching  what videos in your content area are getting the most views and why. Look at the titles and the tags. Revamp the title to fit what you are doing and see if you will show up on the first page of YouTube for the keyword. That should be your goal. For example: If you are looking to target people who are looking for diet pills, then look up "diet pills" on YouTube. What videos are coming up and what are their titles? Research this and apply to your video. After posting your video, test the keyword to see if your video pops up on the first page. If not, keep editing your title and tags until you do (without full-on copying anyone, of course).

5. Camera equipment. Some people believe they need a high-tech video camera with bells and whistles, which (don't get me wrong) is not necessary but  will be great when you start to get those millions of viewers. But to start out, the video camera on your computer will suffice. Or on your phone like a Samsung Galaxy or iPhone. For the phones, just make sure whomever is camera man has a still hand while recording.  The convenient thing about using your video cam is that you do not need anyone to record for you and you can record alone.

These are just a few tips to consider when starting your Video Marketing venture. I hope they help. Let me know how Video Marketing works for you!

According to Forbes.com, "The face of fame is changing". You no longer have to necessarily be a singer, rapper, actor, entertainer or even politician to be famous. As I'm sure you have seen, you can now be famous from as much as a silly video on YouTube to starting a really great charitable cause.

And as a "potential blogger" or "rockstar blogger in the making", it is important to know a few of these famous bloggers. Why? Because as the famous saying goes, "don't reinvent the wheel".

Everywhere you go these days, the mental health of our community seems to be a primary subject and concern. We have finally come to grips with the fact that not all of our problems are financial and social. Some of our problems are borne of unspoken misery and unresolved pain.

That’s why I published a book earlier this year filled with healthy living tips for the mind, body and soul. “Broken In Plain Sight” provides a perfectly crafted fictional, highly imaginative platform that proves that love is the common denominator to vibrancy and healing. The novel-like feel works to illustrate the underlying reasons for unhealthy lifestyle habits and offers practical and innovative solutions for living healthier.  In its fictional, diet-guide like format, the book exposes the struggles, secrets, and corruption within an African American family and their journey to find love, truth, and healing.

Now, six months later, my new book, “Broken In Plain Sight”, has been nominated to receive The Henri at The 2012 Christian Literary Awards in November 2012. See for yourself why it was nominated and purchase your copy today. In order to take home this prestigious award, I need your vote! If you liked my book, I would greatly appreciate if you would take a minute and vote for it.

Just visit http://www.awards.joyandcompany.org/about. You’ll need to create an account, then after receiving your password, you’ll need to “Login” and follow the prompts which include clicking “2012 AWARDS” and selecting READER'S CHOICE to CAST YOUR VOTE for “Broken In Plain Sight” in the Fiction Category.  Voting will close on September 30^th. Please tell your family and friends to vote!!!

Broken in Plain Sight is engaging, entertaining and enlightening. It’s available at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles as well as Kindle and Nook. Too many of us are broken in plain sight and don’t have to be!

Thank you in advance your support and vote!!!

I had to forward an email I just got from
David Sharpe. I was a little taken back
when I started reading, but I think you'll
see why I passed it along to you.

Just FYI.

It is a little graphic.....

-------Fwd Email-------

Most folks would never tell you about the
skeletons in their closet in fear that you
might judge them.

Well here's my truth.....

For 10 years of my life I struggled with
addiction and alcoholism.

I lived mostly on the streets and in abandoned
cars and houses.

I had a daughter at the age of 16 and was
separated from her when she was 5.

I felt empty inside and never thought I
would get to experience life the way
'normal' people do.

I was a victim of my own thinking and
bad decision making.

And, I....

...on more than one occasion, almost lost my
life by way of being in the wrong place at the
wrong time.

However, in February of 2008 I reached a
bottom I had never experienced before.

I was empty on the outside.....

.....and empty on the inside.

I took a risk, and crawled my way into a room
where I knew a man and asked him to help me
save my life.

And he did.

After massive personal transformation, 4 years
passed and a little blood, sweat and tears......

......I've managed to stay completely clean and
sober and turn my life around full circle.

I've fought to get my family back, including
the most important person in my world.....

....my eleven year old daughter.

I'm actually about to run out the door and have
a 'dedicated daddy night' with her and grab some
pizza :)

I found love.....

....and plan to spend the rest of my life with
Erin,  my girlfriend, who has also helped me
save my life.

Not to mention when I first started this whole
online marketing thing just over 2 years ago......

......I didn't even own a computer.

Today it's not like that though.

Not only do I know what it's like to have a
defining moment in my personal life - I know
what it's like to have a defining moment in my
business, too.

I've since gone on to become one of the most
sought out trainers, coaches and marketers in
the online marketing industry, and built teams
in the thousands and produced results on a
massive scale.

I invite you 'behind the walls' of my life because
I want to share my personal experience with you
in hopes that you realize......

....whatever 'monkeys' are on your back.

...whatever struggles you're trying to overcome.

...and no matter how much you think there's no
hope left.

I'm here to tell you that there is.

If a 28 yr old homeless addict, who society
wrote off as an outcast and lifetime loser
can break the mold and seize the moment....

So can you.

And not only do I want to help you create a
permanent change in your personal life...

I want to help you create a permanent change
in your business, too.

But you have to do what I did and take action.

I crawled my way into a room where I knew
a man and asked him to help me save my life.

And he did.

Now it's your turn.

In the last 2 weeks, we've seen the people
inside Empower Network display greatness.

They've done things that will be talked about
for YEARS to come.

And already, thousands of people have made
money.

And it's been deposited directly into their bank
account.

Because we want you to be in control of
your life ...and your money.

You work for it.

You get it.

You do what you want with it.

And don't settle for less.

Our income report is tremendous, and we're
proud to show it off to whoever wants to see it.

Because we're making a difference.

One person at a time.

One family at a time.

One business at a time.

So......

If you haven't had your first 100% commission
directly deposited into your bank account yet,
you deserve to feel that feeling.

We've already paid out $773,024.20 .....

....and we just hit our 6,000 member today.

550 people are joining everyday.

Do you think there's a reason for that?

And all that in just 16 days.

We've got a couple of people who have made
more than $30,000.00

Several that have made more than $20,000.00

And lot's that have made more than $10,000.00

Best of all....

We've got tons more who have made a few
thousand, or even their very first sale online.

Sometimes I sit back and think about what
would have happened if I never took a risk
to ask someone to help me save my life.

Where would I be?

What would I be doing?

Who would I be with?

If I didn't decide.

Every breakthrough starts with one thing.

The first step.

Take it, now.

You will never get this moment back.

It's your turn.

Decide.

This is as good as it gets.

We just want to know if you're ready to join us.

If so, we'll be waiting on the other side.

Hello Everyone,

Can I just tell you that David Woods and David Sharpe are simply amazing. These two men have created Empower Network so that anyone can profit from it. If you are new to internet marketing, this system is so easy to use. If you are an internet marketing guru, you know that this is the best thing since sliced bread.

If you haven’t heard by now, Empower Network is the latest business opportunity that is creating a lot of buzz. People want to become a part of this amazing opportunity. This company has made over a million dollars in less than a month. Now tell me that doesn’t blow your mind!

David Wood and David Sharpe have made Empower Network affordable to join. The options are $25.00, $100.00 and $500.00. I will break down what you will receive and how the payments are made.

The first option is $25.00 - I highly recommend this package. With this package you will receive a blog hosted by WordPress. The blog is set up so that you do not have to do anything but create content. The blog has all the plugins you will need.

The beauty of this program is that you can blog about anything. If you are an affiliate marketer or in network marketing, you can blog about your products. This will allow you to make money on your product and if someone signs up under you, you will receive money as well. You can only benefit from this program.

The second option is $25+$100 – You will receive everything that is in option 1. In addition to this option, you will be granted access to the inner circle training with David Wood and David Sharpe. With their knowledge and expertise you will be making money in no time.

The third option is $125+$500- You will receive everything that is in option 1 and 2.  You will also receive unlimited access to the mastermind training videotaped in Costa Rica.

Now you maybe wondering “what is in it for me?” For starters, you will receive 100% commission for everyone who joins under you. Yes, you read that correctly, 100% COMMISSION. The money you make will go directly into your paypal or merchant account. If do not have either one of these accounts to receive payments you will have to set one up.  The reason for setting up a merchant or paypal account is so that you can receive the entire 100% commission.

The catch regarding the different options is:

• If someone under you wants to get in under the $100 or $500 option, you will not receive the commission if you purchased the $25 option. However, you can always upgrade.

You will also have to keep in mind, if you do not select the $500 package, you will have to pay the other two options monthly. Which is not bad if you make a profit, but you should upgrade as soon as possible.

I highly recommend that you join under the $25 option. This gives you an opportunity to see if this system will work for you. If you feel that Empower Network is not for you then you can always cancel before you are billed again. Payments already made will not be refunded.

Ok so by now if you have been following along with my series of blogs on this your week should be complete. But it doesn't just stop at the one week challenge. In my research of how good or bad habits are created I have found that the general census is that it takes at least 30-45 days for something to become habit forming in that it is habitual, something you do on a daily basis. With that said, I believe that habitually focusing on your goals and actions toward accomplishing your goals will in essence cause your dreams and goals to manifest into reality. Especially if you have cleansed yourself of all non-essential habits, hinderances, and distractions.

So the list you created and focused on for a week, continue on through your journey of establishing your thoughts toward developing your goals into reality. So part of your process will be to create a list of short term and long term goals that you intend to accomplish by a certain date. It's important that you place an end date on when you expect these things to happen because it will help you to focus and get rid of things that cause you to procrastinate. Also it will allow you to see if your end date is reasonable, in that if you have been working on a specific goal and it is not completed by the targeted end date then you may need to revamp your goal and actions toward making it happen to see what you can improve to speed up the process, or if it's something that will need additional time.

The main point here is this, don't give up. Keep pushing toward making your vision come to pass. Also, remember an attitude of Gratitude will expedite the process of your visions, dreams, and goals, becoming a reality.

Be Blessed in all you do!

~Tamishia Clayborn~

Ok Now that you have written your positive, visionary, dream, goals list and detroyed the negative list take a moment to reflect on the things you already have in your life that currently bring joy to you. The things you should reflect on are things that are not on your list, this thought process is strictly related to what you already have that you are grateful for.

Gratitude is essential in the process of having a positive mindset about your vision, dreams, goals. Showing or having an attitude of gratitude allows you to have a balance in your mindset regarding reflecting upon what you have, but also allows you to "see" the tools you currently have to help your vision come to pass. For instance, begin to become grateful for things that you may not have even thought of as an option to be grateful for. Most of the time when people reflect on what they are grateful for it's usually things that are essentially priceless like life, your children, your husband/wife, pets, etc. However, also consider being grateful for other things as well like your home, transportation, internet access, a computer, a job, your business, financial resources, etc. Now I know you may be thinking, "but those things are tangible and monetary?," and I'll say yes they are, but sometimes we can be "ungrateful" for those things. Here's what I mean, because we already "have" those things we neglect to reflect on what life would be like if we didn't have a car, a home to live in, clothing, shoes, a computer, internet access, a job and we can easily take those things for granted and not be faithful over them. Just like the bible says be faithful over the little things (few things) and I will make you ruler over much, how do you expect to obtain more or be blessed with more if you are not grateful for or do not take care of what you have now?

So as you reflect on your vision/goal list that you already created, also take time to show gratitude for what you already have.

Bring more Joy into your life and the life of others....
