Why You Need To Control Your Content ! Scott's Rant

Ever seen this before? This is when Youtube flags your for "inappropriate content " 

Now why would they do that? 

Did I drop a F BOMB? 

Did I mislead someone to purchase a product?

Show a little too much skin 

Nothing...

So I happen to get this message form YOUTUBE Today

I went to try to un-age restrict it... no luck and there is nothing I can do to "clear my name"

I mean come on seriously? The video is of me in my office talking about setting up your BLOG...

If You Tube wants to take this video down that can and probably will but I wanted to share what Ray Higdon who had done a video on Youtube every day for almost 3 years now!

What are you doing that is so wrong? Granted there are some people out there that are using Youtube to do things that are considered illegal...

The fact is that there are HATERS out there...  

If you do not have a self hosted blog and self hosted videos that cannot be pulled down just because someone flags them... If you are a marketer then you can expect people to go ahead and 
live their lives trying to destroy the dreams of other... 

In my mind all that I was doing was explaining 4 to 5 things that could help you in setting up your blog for success.... I will admit that it was a horrible video as far as it was too long and it put me to sleep and to be quite frank it sucked! But because there are people out there that simply sit on Youtube all day long and press the flag button then this kind of crap happens...

If you want to see the video that got flagged for " Age Restricted " content... 

So Take control of marketing... yes you are going to have people that are upset because you are having success and how pitiful of a existence that these people have to sit around and Flag peoples videos all day long...

I know marketers that have had their Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube shut down just because they were doing what they normally do be themselves and share their message.... 

Get your own hosting for your blog and for your videos and take control of your marketing so that outside forces cannot bother you!

What about me? Well I intend on using You Tube oddly enough and continue to use the service until I reach a certain "status" I guess you could say.

P. S I want to recommend to you that take action 
1. Get you own self hosted blog and 2 Get you videos self hosted and I want to recommend it by the very guy that got booted from Youtube! 

Do You Think YouTube is cool for doing this share below...

Over 30 signups and 5k form one video! Seriously !

One word ...Video 

second word 

Leads... 

It goes without saying that there is a reason why You Tube is in the top three spot.

And it goes without saying also that hopefully if I have not convinced you to start posting videos this will get you to do so...



What would over 36 signups and $5000 dollars do for your business after posting 1 video?! Well if you want to find out you have come to the right spot because we are going to dig into this content.

You tube is very easy and its not hard to put a video up... here we will go over some basics but fear not as I will at the bottom of this post put up a link to the most awesome training on this format on the market today... Hands down... this is coming straight from a marketer that uses this product on a regular basis for my marketing...

Video Marketing is one of the most powerful, yet underused strategies.

I am a blogger and I use S.E.O (search engine optimization)  to optimize it but I understand the power of video and use it to push traffic to. The posts that I have videos on are the ones that convert better.

Video is powerful because it puts a connection between you and the prospect but is really underused. This creates instant rapport. From S.E.O standpoint it's easier to rank on Google and You Tube then a blog...

Easy to make a 2 - 3 min video and churn them out fast...

You Tube is hovering around the number 3 site in the world... so you want to post on sites that where the

Leads...Leads and More Leads

Are you running out of leads? There are super cool ways to generate leads and I want to eliminate that for you.

I love to generate leads for your business and there are many different ways... All of them cost you next to nothing... Think from a broad prospective...
If you have any questions or comments feel free to hit me up below...

I want to share a few more ways...

Think about connectivity as a fellow marketer told me "It's today's new currency." if you are not connected to people or people who are NOT interested in buying your product or service then you are dead in the water...

Remember, some are high tech and some are low tech crazy... ( hey don't judge they really do work )

So here they are in no particular order...

Skymall Magazine ... you read that when you are flying... what if you took a sharpie marker and a post it  note and put it on a part of the magazine that represents your business...put it next to a vacation if you sell vacations picture or if there is a blender and you sell blenders write a post it note saying I can not only beat their price but my blender is ( throw in your unique selling point ) and stick this note in your purse/pocket and call me when you get off the plane or go here ( and your website ).

Airplane again - If you have a brochure or flyer and tape it to the trey table right before you exit the plane. Don't do this all over the aircraft but in your immediate row sure...

 Mailbox Junk Mail - Ever thought that you would ever want to get those junk mail applications? you get applications and you get them that say " No postage necessary when mailed in the United States...Any junk mail envelopes I put in a little note " Your job sucks checking envelopes " check this out... 2 a day
that is 500 business exposures a year! Didn't cost diddly squat!

Pay my bills - This is for when you pay your utility bills and or car payment bill, light bill, phone bill see the above strategy and do the same for this...

Thrift stores and garage sales
and buy books that your sell products or services... Since I am in marketing I buy self development / Self help books... and my threshold is a buck and I get a rubber stamp " for the best business ever  contact (www. your site . com ) and put it on every other chapter ... and then sell it on Ebay or better yet
donate the books to the library... you are not only helping your community but you are getting someone to go to your website... and the second they are done with that book they have to return it to the library...

Meetup.com
You can actually take over Meetup sites on meetup.com that are not active and get the leads of the whole group. You can organize and its costs 72 bucks to organize 3 groups. All you got to do is call meetup up and say you don't want to pay that and they will drop the price by 50 percent. Or when you get to the fill out the credit card part then go bounce  to another site and then they will call you with that special deal...
(wink wink )
Meetup works you get to go put in everything that you think that they would want and now you have specific contact info you can email them, meetup up with them..

Advanced Strategy : go join thousands of meetups and when a organizer steps down they send out a email membership of who wants to take over the group... then you step in... you can have people sponsor the meetup group and put your affiliate logo and links and have people buy stuff from the site.. Do you have to meetup live... no.... The question comes up what if everyone wants to meet up live? Go find someone on the list and have them run the live meetup and you still organize it.. its a win win all around...

Telemarketers - Not for everyone but it is important for some of you.. if you do mlm or home based business they are going to call you they hate their job and they have to close you with one shot... so you say I will listen to your pitch if you listen to mine. They do what network marketers do already they just don't know it yet.. "Hey what are you selling Joe" Hey Joe I know how bad your job sucks and in a few seconds you have to read from a script and you need to say this call needs to be recorded for training purposes and trainer if you are on the phone as well your job sucks as well so take down this website..

You Tube - Videos this stat is crazy it's 53 times more consumed then a written blog post.. No frikin brainier..
A different way to create leads they can watch you and get to know you... 1 super tip... When you do your description put a word there and in the keyword tags that is not in the English language- 123ginger, bluediips
and do that in every video you do. So instead of seeing all your competitors down the right hand side you see your videos instead...  Go back into every video and you can see your videos more will show up on the right hand side... You tube is owned by Google so you have to play in the Google space.
So when people put your name in google what comes up? You or your competitors?

Call you voice mail and ask yourself - Would you hire this person? If its a tip of the day or quote of the day you can use your voice mail to generate leads.. Be upbeat and excited or tell a story... tool of the week tip of the day... quote of the day...

POST IT NOTES  with a qr code... and it cost 35 cents on a entire pad and put them anywhere you want.
car windows... at the car pumps in books... where ever..

EBAY- Think about this there are so many opportunities out there you can go out there and go as a dutch auction and sell it for a penny and you get all their contact info... take a brochure ( power seller ) go add that brochure to everything you sell on Ebay...

BLOGS! -  Online You should have one... people are online they are buying! We have to meet people where they are... meet people online... Video with a blog makes it 10 times more interesting...

Testimonials - Leave a great testimonial and leave them for all the leaders... it is a major traffic driver for your sites especially when they put it front page on their site!

Whewwww that was a lot... You need to have more leads then you can physically talk to...

Any questions let me know I am here to help

Why I am Leaving YouTube

Hey guys and gals.. wanted to shoot a quick video on YOUTUBE.. I just had a friend of mine that literally had hours and hours of powerful content and information wiped off off the face of the earth by the giant known as YOUTUBE... 

I am posting this video YOUTUBE so if you see a blank screen about on my blog post where I embedded the video and no video is showing then you will know why... ;)

I am a professional internet marketer and I am going to post a lot of content for my fans and my team and I want to go ahead make content that will be around for years to come...

It makes me sick to my stomach to think literally my friends channel...  the hours of blood sweat and tears...his channel erased... Now, he had to pull some strings jump backwards and forwards and a near act of God to get his channel back? But he did.

Why? Because people, ( HATERS) can flag your account and the big giant does not care nor do they care to respond very quickly to your customer service needs either...

There are people that don't like you don't like what you stand for don't want you to succeed and that exactly why I am taking steps to secure my future...

So I am from this moment hosting all valuable content off site and keeping all original video backed up!
I plan on pouring on the value and if you are going to be in it to win it you might want to think about doing the same...

Don't get me wrong I will still use YOUTUBE still but not as my primary source of hosting videos...

Suggestions???

Hosting on a video hosting site is roughly $20 - $50 bucks a month but then again I look it as something I simply cannot live without... Protect you first amendment rights!
So do you know of anyone that had gone through something similar?

SO GOODBYE YOUTUBE I wont miss you... and I am sure you wont miss me...

I like you to leave a comment below share a I would  like to hear a comment or story of someone you know this happened to them... take care and have a awesome day...

Get Your GAME ON !

You need to engage your prospects now.. and get their attention more than ever as of right now there is 57 thousand years of information on the internet and a lot of it is crap. In this post we will expose how to showcase your videos and get people drawn to yours.

IF you go on YouTube and you search for something it’s a tad bit boring… For all of you

The best traffic is not from google and its not from f book or any websites and its from YouTube and its from your followers. Is Facebook a list? Yes , in a way especially your fan page. Your lists are still people that want your content your followers.. every new video they get a notification once they subscribe.

You should be using video in your marketing. Instead of just shooting a video you need to gamify the video no longer then 6 min. make it fast short and to the point.

Gamification – Gamify your video… wow its time to step it up a notch

<http://bluesmanofmlm.com/gamification>

that is an example of how to gamify your videos 

You can use annotations with You Tube and pick and have your audience and pick something form the screen. It’s all about value… send your people down a path…and this is something that could possible go viral… there is a pop up at the end where there is a subscribe button…always...

1.      Mind map of what you do and find a way to captivate your audience and create value

< Its time consuming > but it can be very worth it…

You have one main video and explaining and having links on the video going to other links

There are multiple ways to go from the main video ( many different videos from the main one ) like spider legs

Or one main video and it’s a snake and you can map it out

Map out how do you provide the value and be creative…people love games

Video manager is you need to make all of them UNLISTED unless they have a link or annotation that will take them there… make the first video public and then the others are unlisted.

As an example 

10 videos and 1 main video and pick one number if you get the lucky number you get the free training. And then make 10 videos and pick one that is a winner.

You have to provide VALUE!!!

Make sure you number your videos in whatever your game is… 

There is no limit on what you can do… better then you just bobbing your head around talking in a video ..

When you upload you want to edit it and go to video page which is the video manager and one that is edit

Go to annotations and you can add  and pick spotlight on the graphic you have and make it as tight as possible and then add a link and ad a video link to your video… so literally you can put links on the video… and make shure you open and in another window… and you have people that is looking at your video while they are staying on your website… the more views you get and the higher google will feature you and suggest to other users…

At the end you always want people to subscribe and link and comment on the videos

How do you add annotations you can upload pictures they are hovering over video on purpose

You have to create the video and add the graphic to the video… then you add the annotation.. to the image.

If you embed your video anywhere on Facebook or a blog… when you embed the video on Facebook and post the video links are clickable! very cool! 

So if they loose by clicking on the wrong number then they go back to the beginning of the game (the orginal video)  . Make sure all your videos have all the correct annotations.

How to do the graphics is easy. They are actually part of the video and on a MAC is called called screen flow it costs around $ 99 dollars and you got to do edits.. and windows its called  Camtasia… 
video editor..  you need to get a video editor…

Always put a subscribe button at the end of your video...

Go to video (that you made) and put annotations on your video… you insert a graphic into your video.Go to google and put subscribe button in google and go to images and you insert the images in your video! Put subscribe button so it goes to the end of the video…

Do NOT send people to capture pages! Don’t want to lose your work…YOUTUBE will pull your work! 

Newsletter options (yes) you can put a annotation for revelent websites and a newsletter would be fine... 

 Send to other videos only… Fiver get a trailer… at the end of your video…something to close it out

In the description you can send people to other links…

Make sure you do a call to action in the videos! You need to tell the person what to do at the end of the video.

To grasp this whole gamification of YouTube check out or search for 

( You Tube tick tack toe ) 

You can send them to a link to your blog to download a file from the annotation to your blog ( if its revelent content) 

Send traffic to you blog and get some blog traffic and send em an opt in form from your blog.

As a side noteI have noticed more and more internet Marketers upgrade to a MAC…lol 

Tip : Offline Marketing..  For a brick and mortar business go to keyword planner tool in

Google .put a location of the business in the city and state  and the type of business and see how many searches or typeof searches as this is extremely targeted searches You are not going to get a lot of

Competition locally… which you can rank really high... Now produce a video and put in those keyword for the city , state and what the profession is and your video should rank extremely high on the search engines.
