I know most people who know me do anyway, but really… I’m asking you to trust me with this.  If you don’t like what you see, feel free to unsubscribe from my mailing lists and you’ll never have to put up with me again.

If you’re a regular reader I think you probably know I generally don’t like videos, and that I prefer to read about something as I can very quickly skim through copy to see what it’s all about - we’re all busy right?

And we don’t all have the time to spend watching online video because time is money.

And we all have our preferred learning styles.

There are exceptions though…

Sometimes it’s worth putting aside time and preferences to check something out.  This is one of those times.

I’ve just finished watching the video and I straight away called the guy who made it (yes I know him - he was the one who told me to watch it in the first place), and asked him straight what he was doing and was he going to have the time to do what he claims he’s going to do.

While he was giving me more detail about it, I could hear his instant messenger going off in the background.  He kept apologising and drifting for a few moments as he furiously pounded the keyboard to answer the new message that had come in.

He’s like that though.  He’s both dynamic and a dynamite person to know.  I always feel a bit breathless after talking to him.  And there’s no denying the success he’s been having.

And I absolutely trust him 100% to deliver what he says he’s going to.

But before you click the link I have to tell you that…

#1 - It took me 5 attempts before I could get a connection to the server to watch the video, it just kept hanging.
#2 - I found out it was because the server is getting hammered.  A bit of a cliche I know, but true.
#3 - There’s no sign up or squeeze page, you’ll just get straight to see the video (if you’re lucky).

The reason for #1 and #2 above is because a lot of people have been waiting for this…

I know that’s true because I’ve watched it all unfold since March this year, and I’ve seen him almost pushed into doing this by his customers.  But I didn’t know how many people until a few minutes ago when I had the call with him.

I won’t waste any more of your time, I apologise if you can’t get to see it, it might have already been taken down by the time you get to it.  That can’t be helped, but I think you’ll understand why once (if) you get there.

I’m still a bit incredulous at what he’s doing, but like I said, I trust him.

Here’s the link and you need to go there straight away, before it stops working altogether.

I really AM sorry if it doesn’t work for you.  You could try later I suppose, but by then it might be gone altogether.

Look, don’t ask okay?  Just give it a shot and see if you can get to see it too.

It’s well worth your time.

Really.

Imagine having thousands of computers
just like google - where each one
backed up the other and when
someone accessed your data
from your website - it was
in reality pulling it from the
closest Amazon computer.

What happens is your graphics load faster
Your Videos stream fast and quick
This results in your website loading
amazingly quick.

And the best part is it is
ridiculously cheap.

Last Month On one of my websites where I
Am using Amazon s3 which has
hundreds of video file downloads
and thousands of image files downloaded
using 1182 GB (gigbytes)
my cost? $3.97

Yes I said ridiculously cheap……

So upside is my websites images and videos
load quicker
Downside - it cost me $3.97

Now, I wanted to also use this for my members
area to download software, special reports,
and other “Paid Area” type of products

The problem was my s3 download link was
exposed - leaving open the very real possibility
of those paid product links being shared - or
worse yet - posted on some forum.

To overcome this issue I built software
that creates a download.php file that
conceals the s3 urls and uses a link
that would appear the file is coming
directly from my website

And for added security - if that download
link is shared and someone tries to use it,
that person does not get access and is instead
sent to my homepage/salespage.

If you are not using
Amazon Web Services - I suggest you might
want to check into it.

And if you want a slick way of
concealing your Amazon download urls
Get a copy of my S3Downloader.

Traffic Tactics Gold http://www.traffictacticsgold.com is the perfect website marketing software solution that provides any website owner with the tools to effectively market their website. Laid out in a step by step fashion, it makes this a simple approach for consistently reaching new markets and customers.

Rather then a one dimensional approach that most website marketing systems take, the TTG System Software uses a multi-channel approach that distributes your website’s links and free products to hundreds of websites. This wide dispersion approach reaches new markets and new customers that would never occur with say a solely search engine optimization approach.

The TTG System Software is broke down into four main categories:
1-Search Engines and Directories
2-Social Marketing
3-Media Marketing
4-Direct Marketing

Each of these categories is then split up into seven or eight promotion modules that cover in a step by step fashion:
1-The Marketing Objectives of that promotion module
2-The Components or tools needed to use that module
3-Multiple Promotion Module Tactics that provide you with specific techniques to use
4-An Action Guide - that spells out in detail what you need to do utilize that promotion module
5-A browser based auto-form-filler that is directed at websites looking for the the information that was setup for that particular promotion module.
6-A Topic specific Resource section that provides tools, software, ebooks, and helpful links.
7-A “Show Me” Video section that walks a person step by step through every aspect of that module.

All total there are thirty different promotion modules covering everything from onsite seo factors, WordPress optimization, Web2.0 websites, blogging, videos,mp3 distribution, articles, affiliate programs, to offline marketing. Each module is broke down into specific steps, making it easy to follow and market your website. The vast majority of these modules direct you to websites and services where you can leave your information, links, and viral products - at no cost to you!

The TTG Systems was designed using the exact same systems that have driven over 1.2 million unique visitors to just a handful of websites in the last twelve months. Everyone of these tactics are what is referred to as white hat - techniques that the search engines approve of - in fact actually love. So rather and try to cheat the search engine systems - learn how you can work with them to expand your website’s reach across the web.

As comprehensive as the TTG System Software approach is, it is not something you can “whip through” in a few hours - it is designed to give you a clear cut path, where with just a few minutes of effort on a regular basis - you can perform a specific actions - that is designed to grow your business - every step of the way. With the step by step approach along with it’s accompanying videos, it is very conducive to outsourcing as well. I highly recommend you use the TTG Systems software to promote almost any type of website - so you increase your interested visitors, as well as your online profits. http://www.traffictacticsgold.com

But if this video is a business video that is promoting, demonstrating, or giving a tutorial on how to use your product – that is entirely a different matter. From the viewers prospective – if you don’t care about using a crappy demonstration video – why would your attitude when you created your product or service be any different. If you as a business are providing a quality product or service – then tell the world about it in with videos – but do it right. By just implementing a few production details, you too can create high quality web videos.

There is a man from Wisconsin, a former Microsoft Techie, who has begun a crusade to rid the web of crappy videos. Lon Naylor shows you (with videos of course) exactly what you need to do in order to create videos that will make your business product or service shine. In a step by step system he calls “Ace the Audio”, he shows you the techniques that can turn a bumbling and stumbling video narration into something that sounds like it was recorded at a production studio. In this twelve part module, Lon breaks it down into simple lessons, skillfully demonstrated in video form, exactly how to produce a studio quality narration for your videos. Did I mention for a limited time, Lon is giving you access to this video completely free! - Click Here for Details

In the members area of his site – Lon takes you through a total of nine different modules – each done in the same format as “Ace the Audio”. Starting with a fantastic video overview tutorial, Lon takes you step by step with modules like Video Strategies, Creating Killer Screencast Videos, Planning and Preparing Your Video, Recording Your Videos, Editing Your Videos, as well as a Module on Video Production. Before you put another crappy video up – you owe it to your business to discover how with a few simple techniques you can make your videos look like high quality video productions. Your business’s image is at stake – learn how simple it is to project a video image that matches the high quality of your business’s products and services. Learn More
