Alex Jeffreys Coaching – In the Presence of Video Marketing Royalty: Maria Andros

Hi Folks!

What is coming out to be a behavioral pattern on my part, I sleep late and still get up early with only the occasional yawn and eye-rubbing rituals. I clean up, struggle into my clothes, made sure my socks are matched, and head out the door.

It was 6:00am and I have to rush. I started my trusty Year 2000 Toyota Unser van outfitted with a self-made water-fuel HHO booster (tech plug!!), and I was off. Despite my sleepiness, I was excited.

The early-morning webinar sessions are back after a brief hiatus! I say it’s about time! :)

Alex was bringing in an expert to talk about video marketing, and he brought in the Queen of them all: The Video Marketing Queen: Maria Andros.

Who Is Maria Andros?

Well, I knew about Maria when Alex mentioned her when he was giving a webinar that involved Twitter. He mentioned before that in Twitter, you can actually find the biggest guns in IM history just interacting with everybody. And boy, that lady is quite active in there!

If you want to check her out, her Twitter handle’s mariaandros.

Let’s talk about her stats. Her life-on-the-web stats (Behave!):

- used to be a makeup artist for 10 yrs
- started an ebay business
- made $80,000 USD in 12 months part time
- found a niche
- got involved in video marketing May 2007
- started with no list
- started with no expensive google adsense pay-per-click (PPC) brouhaha
- in the first 2 months of video marketing made $12,987 USD!
- started with just homemade amateur videos
- now makes a 6-figure yearly income AND without using expensive advertising
- so far her videos have been viewed by up to half a million surfers already

Her rise to the top has been phenomenal. If I had half a brain, I’d take every opportunity to learn from her! :)

From the way I hear her during the webinar, she knows her stuff and speaks about video the way one would talk about his life’s work.

What I Learned During the Webinar

The webinar was a short 2.5 hours, but it left me with a lot information to digest!

One thing’s for sure: I’m gonna throw myself into Youtube!

Don’t get me wrong. Video is absolutely new territory for me. And after publishing my goals for the next 365 days in my previous post, I’m going to make an adjustment and include video into my online marketing repertoire! Maria and Alex simply convinced me it is so crucial to my marketing campaign!

Video marketing is a part of internet marketing that you simply cannot ignore. Any IM worth his salt IS on video. Name any guru off the top of your head: Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney, Jason James, and they have used video to devastating effect.

I remember the time before I signed up with Alex’s Coaching Program. I watched his video presentation for a week because I wanted to fully understand him. I was qualifying him to see if he was worth the money I’m going to pay for his experience.

I was hooked.

If you wish to find out more about Alex Jeffreys’ List Building System, we have a FREE REPORT you can read to find out more how Alex helped me build a massive list in days!

To say the least, his video presentation was superb, but it was his MESSAGE that impressed me the most.

I want that to have that effect too on my blog, by golly!

Here’s why you have to do video:

- gives you an advantage over competitors
- can be viewed as an expert because as kids we were taught that people on tv is someone
- builds a highly responsive warm list
- video converts up to 600% higher than text alone because 90% of all communication is non-verbal
- appeals to all the senses

It’s going to be fun!

Video marketing is just the tip of the iceberg.

All the Best!

Regards,

Erwin Chua

Dect 6.0 Home Phone System

Welcome to the world of Dect 6.0 and all the possibilities that come with such a system. We have just gotten our first Dect 6.0 home phone system in our house and we do enjoy the added features that come with it. Having a phone at every study desk and bedroom without the hassle of putting telephone wires here and there is great though we did have to put the chargers close to an outlet but there are many more outlets to choose from then telephone outlets.

There are a lot of features that come with the Dect D-digital E-Enhanced C-Cordless T-Telecommunications 6.0 system. First there is clarity of sound and voice which is a great improvement over the last cordless we had been using. Also the weight of the units is so much lighter and the battery seems to last at least twice as much as did the older features almost as much as cell phones but not quite.

The range of the Dect 6.0 is much more then it’s mega hertz cousins so if walking around the north 40 is in your plans then this could bring a lot of joy. Another nice feature is the fact that many models have the ability to share on the same line at the same time. So when your uncle Bob calls you can have the whole family join in on the conversation with their own handsets. Another advantage is the fact that the chances of your neighbors listening in on your phone conversation is little to none because there should not be any way that frequency will be pickup from other Dect 6.0 systems.

There is no comparison with the Dect 6.0 and your cell phone as far as all the conveniences that the cell phones of today offer but if you want to keep your phone bills to a minimum then having a home phone system is a great money saver. If you are like us and have poor reception with the cell phone at home then it’s a great advantage. Also if you have a VOIP system then plugging into the Dect 6.0 will only enhance your phone system. The choices are many and the quality of most of these Deck 6.0 systems is very good compared to the older mega hertz models.

Remember that when choosing a Dect 6.0 system you want to stay with a known brand that you trust it may cost more but you will get many years of satisfaction in having a trouble free home phone system. The other thing to consider is if you want to add more handsets to your system at a later time you should check out where and how much will another handset and charger be found and cost. That could help you in your decision on which brand to buy.

Silence

Have you ever really enjoyed silence? I mean really enjoying being alone, with nothing to do but the simple act of just being. Well I’m satisfied to think as myself as a happy silence lover, but it wasn’t until this Tuesday at my Akumal villa that I realized how much I enjoyed having nothing to listen at but silence, for a moment there I couldn’t even heard the sea waves, I completely blocked them from my senses.

Lying on a sandy beach at a spring sunny day, with a delicious windy mist, a strange inclined sunlight which more often than not makes you squint, and a blank head. How could anything be more indulgable than a blank mind in paradise? How would anyone enjoy paradise with unsolved issues on their mind. How would anyone rest while thinking? Ever since I’ve moved to this Akumal villa I’ve been having so much recall dreams, every one of them I remember and as much as I tried I cannot decipher them. Their location is often a recurrent one and many of the characters are strangers. How then is it that I can put my mind on blank?

The thing that concerns me today is not the stuff I haven’t solve in my mind, I mean I’m an puberty who has many things to make up before turning 35, what I want to know is how do I program myself not to think, to completely block my head. It only happens when I’m at this Akumal villa, more specifically on Akumal’s bay beach and only when I’m alone lying on the sandy beach.

Get Fit And Lose Fat With A Wii

My next door neighbour, Clare, is what you would call a ‘big’ girl. She loves her fast food, chocolates, biscuits, crisps ….in fact just about anything that adds the pounds and kilos to her weight. And to make matters worse, she hardly ever walks anywhere but prefers to drive instead.

So it’s not surprising that about 3 months ago, she felt that her weight was getting out of control and she needed to do something about it.

Did she take up jogging? Or go down to our local gym? Nope – she decided to buy a Wii console!

She claimed that because the Wii had some new-fangled controls that didn’t just involve pressing buttons like other games consoles, but that actually required you to put in some effort to play games, then she’d lose weight.

Needless to say, her husband and I were not convinced and thought that this was just another one of Clare’s mad ideas (that she does have a reputation for coming out with!).

With her Wii console, she also got something called a Wii Fit that looked like one of those step blocks used in gyms for step aerobics. Clare said that this connected to the Wii console and came with a Keep Fit game that had her doing various exercises every day.

The software also kept a record of her weight, body-mass index and improvements in her performance of doing the exercise schedules.

Clare stuck to her new “exercise regime” and I would often pop round for a chat in the afternoon and find her red-faced and breathless from having just completed on of her sessions.

And the result?

Well, in the past month, she’s lost an impressive 14lbs (6.4 kilos for those of you who’ve gone metric) and it’s very noticeable. We are all impressed (even though she does keep saying “I told you so”). You can find the Wii Fit for sale on eBay at bargain prices. I’m definitely going to get one to get fitter and in shape.

What’s the next step in your online career ?

When I started to learn marketing online it was so exciting. I studied and eventually learned how to publish my very first website and started actually making a nice little income on the side with Adsense. That same site almost 5 years later pays my bills and has allowed me to quit my job. I am so grateful that I started my journey when I did and had the faith to continue when I thought I would give up. I recently started looking for some other way to diversify my online income.I considered all sorts of different things, and tried a few.

I tried selling stuff on Yahoo using dropshippers for paintball guns. It took me a couple months to learn how to do the graphics, study up on the subject, write content about it all and set up a merchant account. I spent like 40.00 per month on the site, and in 3 months managed to get one order. Yes, one. I excitedly packed it up and mailed it off the very next day and got an angry letter from the customer asking why it was taking so long. How could I help that it was all the way across the country and that it would take 5 days to get there..? Anyway, the next week came another order. One made with a stolen credit card. What a headache.

And after all of my trouble I didn’t even break even on the gun because of all of the merchant account charges. There just wasn’t enough profit. Other people were undoubtedly making this work but I wasn’t.

I imagine alot of you can relate to some of these examples and are looking right here and now for a lagitimate way of earning money online.I’ve always been fascinated with learning pay per click advertising but have heard too many stories about people really losing loads of money in the process. And the fact is that I just didn’t have abunch of money for expensive courses that were probably outdated by the time you read them.

Now I’m excited to be in a group of lucky people who are actually going through training and will give you the headsup and my own ppc Kahuna review on how to do this pay per click stuff properly with tools that allow you to guage the competition and write your ads better then they do. We’ll have access to software that lets us know the best keywords to go after and why.

We’re going to be learning how to produce the best landing pages and everything else that goes with creating a successful marketing campaign. And it’s brought to you by the same guys that brought you Portal Feeder and Sydicate Kahuna. I”ve started a blog dedicated to evaluating the program and giving you an honest review of ppc kahuna. Maybe you’ll join me.
