It’s time for the next event in our free PowerStart Webinars series, this time Video Marketing TODAY! with the ‘King of Camtasia’ Lon Naylor. It’s another live online webcast, this time at 8pm Eastern on Tuesday, June 8th. Attendance is limited to the first 1,000 people though, so be sure to register now…

Just glancing around this blog you’ll see I’m no stranger to creating videos or to using videos for marketing online. But what you may not know is I’m also a professional glamor videographer and the author of such e-books as “It’s You… Live!“, a guide to podcasting and vlogging (video blogging) and “Creating Your Own Videos“, a guide to creating your own video products to market online. I’m also the creator of various video tutorials such as “Converting PLR Videos” and the “PLR Tutorial” training videos. So to say I’m comfortable with my video skills is an understatement…

I don’t say all that to brag, but so that you know I’m a video expert and that when I say Lon Naylor is the ‘King of Camtasia’ I’m definitely qualified to make that evaluation of Lon’s skills. Teri & I met with Lon at JVAlert in Philadelphia last month, and then after my speech there we all went to dinner to further discuss Internet marketing and affiliate marketing in general and using videos in particular. I was sufficiently impressed with Lon’s knowledge on the subject that I instantly asked him to present one of our PowerStart Webinars events on the topics of creating videos and using videos for online marketing and he agreed to creating a video tutorial webcast for you – the webinar tomorrow night is the result of that meeting.

About Lon Naylor…

Amongst his other activities online, Lon is the owner and operator of the Learn Camtasia blog and video training facility. While most marketers haven’t even upgraded to Camtasia 7 yet, Lon already has a coaching program for it! Lon regularly teaches marketers and product creators how to leverage screen capture videos (like those made with Camtasia) for maximum marketing effect.

A 30-year veteran of the computer industry, Lon spent the last 10 years of his professional career during the decade of the 90’s as a senior engineer at Microsoft before ‘retiring’ in 1999 at age 41. There he specialized in high-level multimedia presentations where it was not uncommon for millions of dollars in revenue to be at stake.

His ability to take highly technical concepts and break them down into simple, easy to understand presentations and tutorials is a result of the years of experience gained in his long career working with companies like Honeywell, American Express, and the national labs at Sandia and Los Alamos.

As an extremely early adopter and evangelist of the Internet, he has long recognized and exploited its massive potential for delivering effective sales messages via video to a global audience.

As an authority on the Camtasia suite of video production software, he is a highly sought out resource and the ‘Camtasia go-to guy’ of many of the top internet marketing names such as myself, Willie Crawford, Ken McCarthy, Bob ‘The Teacher’ Jenkins, and many more.

Lon is on a mission to “Rid the world of lousy marketing videos” as he puts it, and carries on this effort from his rural Wisconsin home on the Apple River enjoying trout fishing from his backyard, kayaking, and recording music in his recording studio. But his greatest passion remains in creating effective marketing videos and teaching others to do the same.

About the Webcast…

Video Marketing Today will be an hour or so of solid content – content you can put to use right now in your marketing and/or product creation efforts. Creating videos and using videos effectively will be just a part of the story, as Lon has promised to reveal secrets like the 3 common video marketing myths, the 5 common things you must NOT do with video and the 5 things you should be doing RIGHT NOW when creating videos and using videos in your marketing mix.

While we always hope to make these PowerStart Webinars recordings available to you after the event, we’re all all too familiar with the glitches that can crop up online, so I can’t guarantee the replay will be available – best be online at the webcast to be sure you don’t miss this powerful tutorial broadcast. At the end of the call both Lon & I will be available live to answer any questions you have about creating videos, using video promotions and creating video products, so you’ll want to be there during the live event anyway.

But as I said at the outset, the webinar broadcasting service only makes bandwidth available for the first 1,000 attendees, so be sure to register now and then arrive a few minutes early tomorrow night! Pay attention, take notes, ask your questions and you could be creating videos and using videos online like a true pro in no time – See you on the webcast!

Affiliate Silver Bullet (ASB) launches at noon Eastern on Thursday, April 29th, 2010 – about 14 hours from now as I write this post. And it really couldn’t come at a better time for the affiliate marketing world…

Affiliate marketing, and Internet marketing in general have both changed majorly as a result of the global recession. While there is still plenty of money to be made with online marketing, it definitely takes more time and effort to truly succeed online compared to just a couple of years ago.

In my own case, the month between my last post and this one is by FAR the longest break in my blogging since 2004. But don’t take that as a sign I’ve been idle – after speaking at Mark Hendricks’ Internet Super Stars Conference in Orlando Florida in January we launch our PowerStart Internet Marketing coaching program in February and our Affiliate Marketing PowerStart coaching program at the start of April. So not only am I tied up on coaching calls every Monday & Wednesday night, but the Internet marketing coaching program alone required the time for me to create over 1.5 GIGS of training videos to supplement the webinars!

Then, as you saw in the last post we were heavily involved in pushing the Tweet Traffic Rush launch last month and this month the pre-launch for tomorrow’s Affiliate Silver Bullet opening.

And May looks no less hectic – including a new launch from Jeff Dedrick and a quick trip to Philadelphia where I’ll be speaking at Ken McArthur’s JVAlert Live! seminar, which runs May 14th to 16th.

So why do I say this launch comes when needed most? Because a service like Affiliate Silver Bullet is one more opportunity to add additional income streams where most of the work is already done for you…

Like myself, many of this blog’s community jumped all over ClickBank Pirate when Cindy and Soren launched it last year, and I’m pleased to say it made me money both during the launch and every single month since then. If you missed it, CB Pirate is a service that creates a new site for you to promote each month with a video squeeze page and free report to give away. Once a prospect downloads the report they’re placed in an autoresponder series that promotes one ClickBank product in the same niche as they’re free report. So literally all you do is drive traffic to your squeeze page each month and their pre-made system takes over from there to make the sale for you.

Affiliate Silver Bullet is much the same, but with one major difference. If there was any flaw in the CB Pirate service it was that you don’t own the list it generates – since people opt in to the system’s autoresponder, the list stays there, not under your control. That’s great for selling that product, but you then don’t have access to them to sell additional products, promote your own sites, etc.

Bearing that in mind, Cindy & Soren have addressed that issue in this new launch… With the sites from Affiliate Silver Bullet you have your choice of leaving it all hosted and automated by them, or downloading the materials and putting hem on your own site, thus using YOUR autoresponders and leaving the resulting list in YOUR control!

At least in my humble opinion, I now have the best of both worlds – when I’m really busy elsewhere I can just leave things as they are and simply drive traffic to my CB Pirate and ASB squeeze pages each month, and when I have more time can set up a month’s ASB package on one or more of my 150+ websites and use it as a lead generator as well as a profit center.

If it goes as I expect it will, this will be one more tool in my affiliate marketing arsenal that brings in long-term results – check out www.Affiliate-Silver-Bullets.com yourself right now and see if it can be a big help to your efforts too!

Here’s a quick video I created for you that shows how to use Affiliate Marketing Programs to build traffic and build Opt-In Lists:

As you know, the ability to build traffic and build opt-in lists at will is the secret to successful marketing online, so don’t miss ANY opportunity that’s this powerful – be sure to get your own affiliate marketing program up and running as soon as you put your first product online. If you don’t have a professional affiliate program yet, you can get one cheap – it’s part of the package from Hosting4Marketers.com and I can highly recommend it, since I’ve been using their affiliate marketing program for years now for all of our products!

For more ideas on how to build targeted traffic and opt-in lists you can download my free report, or learn more about it in depth as part of my PowerStart Marketing Internet Marketing Coaching Program.

But no matter what methods you prefer to learn from, be sure to learn everything you can about how to build traffic and how to build opt-in lists as quickly as you can – the success of your Internet marketing, affiliate marketing or any other online work-at-home business depends on it!

4-Week Ultra-High-Intensity Internet Marketing Coaching Review

Earlier this month PowerStart Marketing launched their PowerStart 2010 Internet marketing coaching program amid great fanfare to great response. Kicked off by Internet Marketing mentor Doug Champigny in his speech at the Internet Super Stars Conference in Orlando, Florida, PowerStart 2010 is an ultra-high-intensity 4-week Internet marketing coaching program that puts new and seasoned marketers alike through the necessary steps to create & promote an entirely new online business in just four weeks.

This swiftly-paced course has “trimmed the fat to the bone” according to Champigny, and “focuses the students just on those strategies and techniques that lead to immediate progress in their online work-at-home business.” Coaching students start with keyword research and then install a blog on a keyword-driven domain, write and post several articles to their blog, create a report to use as an incentive to entice optins & place it online behind a squeeze page, process a master resell rights product and put it online, convert a PLR product to their own unique offering and put it online, create articles, podcasts and videos and get them distributed through the various directories to drive traffic to their blog, products and squeeze pages and then learn the ins-and-outs of affiliate marketing in today’s economic climate.

“This course isn’t for the casual marketer – or the feint-of-heart” Champigny chuckles. “It’s for people who seriously want to be successful Internet marketers, most of whom have been trying for some time and have already spent untold thousands trying to make it on their own. PowerStart 2010 is the ultimate answer to people tired of being jerked around by those with a big image and no substance to back it up – our results will speak for themselves!”

And already positive feedback is pouring in from those enrolled in the program… Lawrence J. Parsley is one of those people who has spent a few years and tens of thousands of dollars in his quest to become a successful Internet marketer, and here’s his video review of the PowerStart 2010 coaching course so far…

For more information on the PowerStart 2010 program, see the Internet marketing coaching program site at http://www.PowerStart2010.com – new classes start the first Monday night of each month.

Here’s a great Internet marketing video, for a service I heartily recommend:

Now, you can get into the Plug ‘N Pay site but first I want to talk to you about using video online – you can always join Plug ‘N Pay after you read this, ok?

If you’re one of my more recent converts to this blog, you should know that I had the first actual bundle of Internet Audio & Video Tools online back in 2006 – and you can tell it was that long ago by the fact that I had short hair in those videos – hadn’t been out of the advertising game long back then!

At the time, everyone – well, almost everyone, thought I was crazy to say that video was the future of the Internet. But to their credit, Willie Crawford and Jim Edwards each had ONE video at YouTube at the time – mine was the 3rd-ever Internet marketing video on that site. But for everyone else, online video seemed like a pipe dream…

Fast-forward 4 1/2 years and video is everywhere online – especially in online advertising like the video above. If you’re not using video yet you better hurry and get it together, because otherwise you’ll be scooped on every affiliate marketing or Internet marketing promotion you run.

Already using online video as part of your Internet marketing arsenal? Is the quality up to the one above – or at least close? Because that’s the coming wave of competition, so sharpen your skills as an Internet videographer if you expect to stay in the forefront on the big launches!

If you aren’t using Internet marketing videos or affiliate marketing videos yet it’s almost at the point where you have to play catch-up now – and in a while it may even be too late to make up the ground you’ve lost. After all, online video drives sales, drives opt-ins, drives traffic and drives your marketing promotions up the search engine results pages (SERPs).

But don’t despair – I come not to bury your hopes but to enable them!

Here are two choices to get you up to speed quickly with marketing videos:

1) Creating and distributing videos is part of the curriculum in the 4-week PowerStart Marketing Coaching class. You can start as soon as March 1st and have your first videos online by April 1st – marketing videos you yourself created!

2) If you’re quick, you can get iFlash Video, the company that made the video above, to make a custom Internet marketing video or affiliate marketing video for you every month for just $50 – normally they charge hundreds per video, but right now they’re about to launch a monthly service. But be quick and get on the pre-launch list – the site will only be taking members for four days, max.

So if you’re ready to start making Internet marketing videos or dying to start making affiliate marketing videos then get into the PowerStart course right away. If you think video is still beyond you, get into the monthly service at iFlash video right away.

And if you really want to start rocking and rolling with online video, do both for maximum exposure! But you DO have to hurry – your competition is already starting to leave you behind!

Internet Marketing 4-Week Crash Course From PowerStart Marketing

© Doug Champigny, http://dougchampigny.com. All Rights Reserved.

Internet marketing is a great industry to be in – you have your own work-at-home business, you set your own schedule, plan your own promotions and make a really great income!

Well, that’s true if you successful at it, at least…

But most people dreaming about getting into the business don’t get to that point. For them, it’s a nasty struggle against unfamiliar terms and technology, conflicting advice from all different sources and a lack of visible results to keep them motivated. They buy resource after resource, pay for program after program, following promises that they can ‘get rich quick’ on the Internet… All of which leads them to give up on their dream of an online business, feeling used and abused and wondering if it’s all really a scam.

The truth is three-fold… One, most people aren’t geared to stay focused for long periods of time and don’t have the motivation to put in the time it takes to succeed when they’re still employed full-time outside the house. Two, most of us, myself included, need to see some sort of progress from our efforts or our motivation is on a downhill slope until eventually we abandon the current project.

Third, and possibly most important, there are a number of different paths to success in Internet marketing and listening to too many people just confuses the road ahead. Even when you weed out the copycat marketers and find those who are truly successful, you’ll find we all do things slightly differently.

The good news is that there’s a fairly simple solution for most people to start an online business – find a truly successful mentor and follow their advice exactly until you’ve reached a level of proficiency yourself. Once that lofty goal has been reached you’ll be able to chart your own path from there – you won’t get everything right, but with practice you should get more right than wrong and be on your way.

Introducing The PowerStart 2010 Internet Marketing Crash Course!

And it’s towards that end that I introduce my latest venture – PowerStart Marketing and the 4-Week Internet Marketing PowerStart course. You read that right – it’s a FOUR WEEK crash course in setting up your online business from scratch! No more wasting time, no more months of trying and failing to see any progress…

The format is an easy one – four weekly teleseminars where I’ll discuss what’s ahead for that week and field all your questions. Then I’ll give you a series of tasks to do that week – and I’ll include complete step-by-step videos to show you exactly how to do them! Yes, you’ll have to put in the time and effort to keep up, but you’ll know exactly what you need to do and how to do it.

And talk about moving forward and seeing visible results! The first week you’ll install your blog, configure it with the best plugins and hook it up to some of the Web 2.0 sites – then you’ll set up our autoresponders to handle both e-courses and an e-zine. Week Two you’ll get your first products online using MRR and PLR resources and hook them up to PayPal so you can take payments, Week three you’ll learn how to use articles, podcasts and videos to further your cause by driving in traffic, and in Week Four you’ll learn how to choose the right affiliate programs and then promote them successfully.

After the four weeks – just one short month – you can have your own online business started and running, have products online to sell, can be building your lists and starting to bring traffic to your site. Even more importantly, you’ll know how to do each part yourself, and how to repeat it whenever you like to attack a new market – or just use the skills to keep building the one operation – the choice is yours!

The first course starts Monday, Feb 1st and runs for four weeks – sign up for the PowerStart 2010 4-Week Internet Marketing Course now and have YOUR business online and on track by March 1st!
