<p><span id="more-1326"></span>Here is a sample of what you will learn</p>
<p>How &#8220;Regular Folks&#8221; who are NOT professional Video-makers are CLEANING UP using simple video marketing strategies:</p>
<p>* How &#8220;James&#8221; created a short, 4 minute slide-show video as a gift to his dog, and how it went VIRAL and got over 4,000,000 (That&#8217;s Four Million) views.<br />
* How &#8220;Robert&#8221; used camcorder Video of his wife exercising to ramp up to over 90,000 visitors per month to his YOGA site.<br />
* How &#8220;Bill&#8221; made short, less than 2-minute long demonstration videos for his Artificial Christmas Trees site that are now 11 of his 12 most powerful converting web pages.<br />
* The CURSE of Online Video Marketing – how to protect yourself and take advantage of what everyone else is afraid of.<br />
* The absolutely fastest way I know how to make a killer sales letter video from SCRATCH, so you could be converting more visitors to sales in just a few hours.<br />
* The most popular and powerful software you should use to make slick, professional looking online video. Some of these applications are so easy to use, you might not even need to read the manual.<br />
* A silly, but hardly ever used trick to make the voice quality of your audio sound like it was recorded on an expensive, professional microphone.<br />
* How to make &#8220;Flip-Cam&#8221; video look like &#8220;TV-Studio&#8221; video. This secret is a head-slapper.</p>
<p>I am not sure how long Andys going to have these videos available so get in while you can.</p>

<p><span id="more-1180"></span></p>
<p>You need to know what you want from social media &#8211; are you looking for customers, clients, franchise prospects, channel partners or collaborators, newsletter or blog subscribers, web site traffic in general, colleagues, media opportunities, or members?  Maybe you want a combo &#8212; I&#8217;ll take # 8 and supersize that!</p>
<p>Get your expectations out of the way would be my first bit of advice.  Clear reasons are good, but expectations, not so much.  The reason why, is that you may or may not be a natural or skilled networker offline &#8211; if you aren&#8217;t &#8211; don&#8217;t expect that your personality will click in when you click the keys.  I see plenty of people get disappointed or frustrated after working social media for a few weeks and don&#8217;t quickly sense &#8220;anything happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>You might be a better writer than talker &#8211; that&#8217;s cool, but unless you like networking for business and know (this is big) how to make inquiries, you might be better off hiring a pro to manage your Twitter or Facebook accounts.</p>
<p>Not long ago, I was called to the office of a local community leader.  He wanted me to &#8220;prove&#8221; to him that social media &#8220;works&#8221; &#8211; wanted to know the value.  I had to smile.  My initial thought &#8211; &#8220;he does know this is free, right?&#8221;  My second thought &#8211; nobody needs to prove social media or push it on anyone. You either get it or you don&#8217;t.  There are plenty of players in the field.  And, the funny thing is that social media is just allowing you to do over the &#8220;net&#8221; the same thing you could do and have been doing in person for years.  It&#8217;s networking.  Faster&#8230;and, on a bigger playground, but it&#8217;s still networking.  If it has worked for you in the past, with a little learnin&#8217; it should continue working for you.</p>
<p>Final thought for the community leader that I&#8217;ll share here is that you should not approach social media concerned first with what value you&#8217;ll receive.  You should be concerned with what value you can bring to others.  If you nail that &#8211; then the value will be returned.  Simple as that.</p>

<p>Many thanks to my new Twitter friend, Doug Greathouse of Superhero Marketing for allowing me this big of space to deliver a few thoughts.  He&#8217;s a pro marketer and networker and killer at working social media.</p>
<p>Working social media for business gain may surprise you.  Doors may open to interesting opportunities that you couldn&#8217;t have guessed.</p>
