We have all witnessed the prevalence of online video reach unprecedented levels in recent years. Online video has become so powerful that it is now the cornerstone of any good internet marketing campaign. At the core of the popularity of online video is of course YouTube. Since 2005 YouTube has become a dominant force in online video viewing and was acquired by Google as a result. The sheer power of online video marketing is something that many have reaped the benefits of in recent years.

Less than a month after its fifth birthday, YouTube has announced that it has exceeded two billion video views per day.

The announcement from the Google owned video website comes as part of a larger initiative that the company is launching today to retell the history behind YouTube and its growth. Part of that campaign is the launch of “My YouTube Story” and the related YouTube 5 Year Channel.

With web video exploding and the promise of GoogleTV around the corner, it’s a wonderful time to be able to upload your own content. But just because anyone can do it doesn’t mean everyone should. For every well-produced, entertaining and informative video, there are millions that aren’t. So what are some of the bigger pitfalls to avoid if you want your video to get people talking?

Firstly, remember that at the moment, the vast majority of content created for the Internet makes zero money, so everything you do should come from a place of passion. Here are a few tips to make that passion work for you.

We’ve all seen a variety of different blogs and blog posts. The simple truth is that some are great and some just bore you to death. What’s the difference between a homerun post and a post that just fizzles out? Here are 6 tips for writing blog posts that will shine!

1. Offer Value: Blog posts are all about valuable and relevant content. Don’t use your blog post to push a sale onto the reader. Just offer them value in your blog post. If you offer them value first they will be open to hear your sales pitch later.

2. Stay Relevant: Mix it up with your blog posts. Talk about relevant issues and topics that you know your readers are interested in. Don’t talk about the exact same topic day in and day out. Variety is the spice of life! Try covering a entire spectrum of topics that your readers may be interested in.

3. Give Them More: Provide links to other valuable blogs, articles, and websites for your readers that relate to your post. Content is king and the more value your content has the better chance your blog post has to
succeed.

4. Picture Perfect: Always include a picture or two in your blog post. Nothing will turn people off faster than a big blank block of text. Throw in a few relevant pictures or screenshots of what you’re talking about.

Social media is reinventing marketing, communications, and the dissemination of information. While businesses now have access to these rich channels, the true promise of social media lies in the direct connections between people who represent companies and the people who define markets of interest.

Today, many businesses approach this with the establishment of social media guidelines and policies. This is indeed an important step, and not one worth economizing. But it’s also not enough. I highly recommend establishing official procedures that remind representatives of the importance and privilege of engagement.

The openness of popular networks is trivial. Any business can join and create a profile. It’s the devices we employ, the intentions that motivate engagement, and the value we offer that dictate the significance of the brand-specific social graphs we weave. It’s a simple investment in either visibility or presence. In social media, just like in the real world, presence is felt.

The latest changes to Facebook have seen their fair share of criticism, with many users examining more closely the definition of “public vs. private.” Some users have been turned off enough by Facebook’s envelope pushing when it comes to privacy to go so far as to contemplate a mass Facebook exodus.

Whether or not the changes become the final blow to Facebook’s tenuous relationship with privacy remains to be seen. However, protecting your privacy is important on any social network, so while you’re still on Facebook, here are a few important privacy tips to keep in mind as you navigate the site’s newest incarnation.

Cisco Systems has predicted that Internet networking traffic will have quadrupled between 2009 and 2014 in its Annual Visual Networking Index Forecast. It also predicted that online video will be the primary driver of that growth.

Cisco’s report says that 767 exabytes of data (one exabyte is the equivalent of one billion gigabytes) will be transferred online in 2014, and that 91% of consumer traffic will be online video, which will include both traditional web video and video-on-demand provided by television providers.

I’m sorry! It’s not your fault exactly… we did a soft launch yesterday and this is exactly
why we do soft launches. We drove so much traffic to our page explaining how you can make
some good money by helping small businesses generate leads that our server crashed.

So if you missed it, here are a few things the video covered:

* How you can cash-in on the biggest business trends of this generation
* How you can own your own business without buying a million dollar franchise
* How you can co-author a book with Bestselling Author Gerry Robert and borrow his status to build your business

This is the image people saw (after it crashed):

Sorry about that. We resolved the issues and put some resolutions in place so it does not happen again.

GO NOW!

Sincerely,

Gerry Robert
Bestselling Author, The Millionaire Mindset

P.S. You better move quickly before our server gets another load of traffic and slows to a call. I’m just kidding, but seriously, go now!!
