Case History:

“A major US manufacturer of engine parts that serviced the automobile industry faced significant layoffs after the industry collapsed in 2008. After downsizing, the company’s top performers were left to keep the business moving. With employee moral at an all time low the key managers put together teams by department to brainstorm ideas on cost saving initiatives, new product opportunities as well as new sales strategies. To launch the team’s brainstorming meetings the human resource department ordered the Gold Standard Bank with the theme: ‘We are banking on your ideas!’

The message let these employees know that their ideas were crucial to the company’s long term success and that management was open to listening to new ideas.  This increased employee moral and engaged them into the process of creating new ideas and strategies.”

Flip Video Ultra Now Available in HD

It’s the power of video in your pocket. Capture the everyday moments that happen anywhere, and share them with family and friends everywhere. That’s idea behind the new Flip Video Ultra Series. It’s portable, simple to use and amazingly affordable. Shoot anything. Share everything.  I have been using the original Flip Ultra for about 9 months now and can honestly say it was one of the best purchases I have ever made.

The manufacturer Flip, makes several different levels of quality of the pocket video camera, with the Flip Ultra being where you would want to jump in.  They have now added the Ultra HD version which is being reviewed in this article.  The original Flip Ultra can be purchased on Amazon for around $100 – $150, depending on who you can buy it from.  The new Ultra HD will set you back between $180 – $200, but in my opinion is well worth the money invested.

One thing I have learned as I have been using the camera and posting things to the internet and DVD’s is the original Flip Ultra quality when trying to go big screen really lacks quality.  I mean, it’s not horrible by any means, but the HD version is really meant to be able to repurpose your videos to larger screens and TV’s while the Flip Ultra is just fine for posting to the web.

Every seasoned guerrilla marketer knows the power of an inexpensive, branded item being used over and over again by a prospect.  Some suggestions of popular, inexpensive promotional products for the benefit of a business are as follows:

1. T-Shirt Printing
Imagine the exposure your business will get with random people wearing shirts displaying your company’s logo. Everyone wants to belong to something.  Providing t-shirts of your brand, product or service allows people to indicate theri affection for your product or brand.  For roughly $5.00 a shirt, this can be easily done – not a bad return on your investment.

2. Water Bottles
Everywhere you go, you see them.  In this eco-friendly world, more and more people are wanting to move away from the use of old plastic throw-away bottles and start using refillable eco-friendly water bottles.  Companies are seeing this trend and starting to provide their customers water bottles that are re-usable but are branded with companies logo or message.  Summer is the perfect time to launch a campaign like this.

3. Temporary Tattoos
Fun, hip, and cool.  Some corporations hold events where they hire a tattoo artist who puts the company logos on the guests’ arms, wrist, shoulders or other visible parts of their bodies. It may only be temporary but at least these people know about the company. In fact, they can say they wore the company!

4. Stickers and Labels
Just like tattoo, companies invest in stickers and labels for people to spread the word about their business. Car magnets are a great way to advertise your brand as well.  Think of hwo many eyeballs see your brand driving around town.

5. Mouse Pads
Darth Vader and Bart Simpson should not be the only ones gracing on mouse pads. Your company logo can do the same. At least with this promotional product, you will be sure that people get to see your company logo whenever they use their computers. In todays world of technology, this is a great product to use – inexpensive too!

6. Coffee Mugs
Imagine your company logo greeting your target customer every morning as he sips coffee.
Now that’s a smart move.

7. Pens and Pencils
Clearly the most popular promotional product businesses and companies resort to. Pens and pencils bearing company logos are everywhere simply because this is the most accessible. Hey, everybody uses pens and pencils.

8. Refrigerator Magnets
Just like coffee mugs, refrigerator magnets bearing the logo of the company will surely greet the target market a very good morning indeed. It will also greet the target market a very good evening when he grabs a midnight snack.

9. Balloons
Everyone loves color – one way to add this to your event and draw attention to it is to use balloons.  These come in all shapes and sizes.  Gieant inflatables can even be customized to represent your product.

Start using these inexpensive promotional products to keep your brand in front of people, and you will survive this weak economy.  It is all about getting people to remember you and your product.  If your brand name is constantly in front of them, you stand a better chance of making that sale down the road.

The online attraction marketing arena is abuzz right now. Why? Well, since the release of Ann Sieg’s new report The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto recently, network marketers are clamoring for a front row spot for the launch of The Renegade Professional.
The Renegade Professional will be the go to training ground for online attraction marketers with step-by-step training on all facets of marketing an internet network marketing business online.

The Attraction Marketing Videos

You’ll get attraction marketing online training 101 and the truth is, your business will never be the same. Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler, who have teamed up to create the new attraction marketing training ground have been busy working behind the scenes recruiting some of the best talent in online attraction marketing strategies.

As a lead up to the big launch, a series of videos will be available to you. These are intended to get you going if you’ve been struggling with implementing the attraction marketing strategies. They contain information never before seen and would qualify as an expensive stand alone product on their own.

Ann interviews Mike and he holds nothing back. In this video, she coaxes some amazing secrets out of Mike. One of the most important aspects of Klingler’s training with the Renegade Professional has been his ability to communicate the delicate steps required with a lot of the online strategies, steps which look challenging otherwise.

Mike has highly unusual skills. He can teach just about anybody how to get free, quality leads from the Internet – for retail products or business opportunities. Mike has tried everything under the sun — friends and family, knocking on doors, cold-calling leads, fax blasting, newspaper and magazine advertising, even TV commercials!

Mike Klingler has been a perfect example of what Ann Sieg taught in The Renegade Network Marketer and now in The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto. He saw a need for struggling network marketers unable to implement the attraction marketing principles outlaid by Ann. So he created The Renegade Professional.

Now, he’s joined forces with Ann Sieg and together, they have taken online attraction marketing to a whole new level.

You can try out what he shows you right after you watch this online attraction marketing video. It’s the first in a series of training videos which you get free. These are cutting edge strategies not just suited to network marketers but any niche you’re involved with online.

Cost: $77 (for first 500 customers)

Rating: 4 stars out of 5

As most of my subscribers and customers will attest, I don’t just recommend any Internet marketing products to line my pockets.

It’s very important to me that I provide you with objective reviews so that you can truly make the best decision for you and for your business.

Sure, I do make money selling Internet marketing products as an affiliate. But… I will only endorse something and put my name behind it if I am completely confident that the product lives up to, and/or exceeds, its stated values.

So what does that mean to you?  It means I review Internet marketing products before or after they are released to the public, and I share my honest opinion with my customers so they can make an informed decision.

When I was first asked to take a look at this site I was frankly a bit weary… because there are other traffic courses out there, surely this one couldn’t do anything different.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Website Traffic Bootcamp, in my opinion, really delivers on quality and content that I can actually use.  Let me explain further..

What is it?

Website Traffic Bootcamp is a series of screen capture coaching videos offered by Dave Lovelace who has teamed up with marketing phenom Liz Tomey that are guaranteed to increase traffic to your website!

Pros:

The videos are in the popular flash format and are presented in a true coaching format.  The training covers 12 traffic generation strategies that have proven to be the most affective.

I’ve seen many other traffic products on the market, but most are 99% powerpoint presentations and weak on actual “coaching”. Website Traffic Bootcamp over-delivers by actually being able to look over the expert’s shoulder as it happens.

Others also are filled with “101 ways” that are merely “ideas” and just a waste of time.  But WTB gets right to the point.  No filler.  And the quality of teaching is extremely good.

I found it useful to be able to download a resource guide that provided me with easy links to the resources mentioned in the videos should I want to find out more info about them quickly.

Cons:

The videos are not viewable online.  All are downloadable.  I’m listing this under “cons” because I know that some people prefer this.

Personally, I prefer to download on my computer than see them online.  When attempting to view online, videos sometimes stop working due to many others trying to watch them at the same time.  I don’t have the patience for that.

Also, it takes some time to download everything.  But so far, I haven’t had any problems.  Dave has a great FAQ section at his support desk that covers most common issues.  They’re very helpful.  Dave is also great about getting back to you quickly.  You don’t see that very often.

Comments:

The value versus price is spot on.  I’ve seen recent courses of this nature for $197 that didn’t offer 1/2 the training that Dave is offering for a fraction of that!  I’m extremely please with what I’ve received for the investment.

About the price.  $77 is the launch price which is stated to increase after the first 500 customers.  This will go up to $97.  It was a no-brainer for me to grab my copy now.

Don’t know about you, but I’m all about saving money now by saying “maybe” and taking this course for a “spin”.  I can always decide later if it lives up to it’s promise.  And if it doesn’t, I get my investment back. But if it does (and this one has so far), then I’m a happy camper because I got mine at the lowest price

FYI: I particularly liked the Super-Charged Back Linking videos!  I definitely had some “a-ha!” moments.

Recommended?: Yes

In conclusion if you have any type of product or you maket one via an affiliate program, or even if you’re trying to generate online, you’re going to get it done faster with this excellent training.  And the investment is worth every penny.  Plus, you get 60 days to test-drive every video.  If you’re not convinced and don’t share my opinion, it’s easy to get your money back.
