2008: The Year Web Video Grows Up!

January 16, 2008

If you haven’t been able to jump on the online video trend, don’t fret. There’s still time to figure out how to use online video to stand out and get noticed! Most people just don’t know where to begin, or they think adding video to their marketing mix is going to be too complicated. Nonsense! I can make it easy for you to join the online video revolution.

I’ve got a low-priced “e-coaching” program that gives you 30 days of unlimited e-mail access to me, so I can help you, coach you and walk you, step-by-step, through the process of adding video to your marketing arsenal. It’s easier than you think, and the e-coaching program shows you how. Our winter special is just $150 for an entire month of e-support. That’s a fraction of my video coaching one-on-one fees!

To make this the year you conquer video, just click here.

If you’d rather go it alone, check out my article about “Putting the You in YouTube!” (scroll down to article)

New Web Resources

January 14, 2008

People often ask me if I think LinkedIn.com (the networking site) is useful. I guess that depends on what you expect from the service, but I did find a really comprehensive “how to use LinkedIn” blog post here.

If you’re family is flying around in six directions like mine is, check out Cozi.com. It’s a free, user-friendly, online family calendar and scheduler. You can share schedules and shopping lists, then e-mail them directly to your family member’s moblile phone. It’s like RememberTheMilk.com, but with different features.

Finally, this isn’t exactly a web resource, but I’m really excited about a unique Jack Canfield Workshop that I’m attending in San Diego next month. (Feb 8-10) It’s called the Ultimate Life Workshop, and it’s priced way below his regular seminars. If you’re in Southern California (or if you just want to escape the winter like me!) you should look into this weekend workshop. Details are here: Jack Canfield’s Ultimate Life Workshop (Full Disclosure: This is my affiliate link, so I get a discount if you sign up!)

Update your web copy!

January 13, 2008

How far into January are you allowed to wish a happy new year, anyway? With all our new goals and a fresh, new start this time of year, why not refresh and recharge your web copy or marketing materials?

Just like you’ve got to replace those smoke alarm batteries every once in a while, you should give the words on your website a facelift at least once a year. If you’ve got a website or marketing materials that could use a “fresh coat of paint,” what better time than the new year to update and upgrade your copy?

BTW, we can help you if you’re stuck. We do website copy upgrades and copy editing quickly and inexpensively! Just E-mail me if you’re interested at lou.bortone@gmail.com.
