The more I learn about this new technology the more I am blown away at how powerful it is. In my tireless investigation I’ve discovered the best techniques for building your website traffic fast using social media marketing and I want to share them with you Tuesday Dec, 2nd on my FREE webinar. I’ll reveal how the pros are making million dollar incomes using social media marketing.
In this post I am going to give a simple explanation of what Social Media is:
• Social media is a more evolved way to develop business and personal relationships through the internet.
• Social media is Facebook, Myspace YouTube, Twitter, Linked-In, Blogs, Vlogs, along with many other contribution based websites.
• Social Media is redefining how we relate to each other as humans and how we as humans relate to the organizations that serve us.
• Social media platform is arguably the most far-reaching innovation since the development of the internet.
• Social media empowers consumers to make better decisions and empowers businesses to better serve their clients and customers. • Social media is a necessity if you plan on growing your business online in 2008 and beyond.
The history of social media began in the earlier part of this decade when sites like Friendster and Myspace first entered the internet world. Soon after, more concentrated discussions began about this new way to communicate online and the term Web2.0 was coined to describe this new digital interaction. As more Web2.0 sites were developed they eventually became known as social media sites because of their ability to bring people together.
Now there are hundreds of new Social Media sites that each focus on different areas of human interest. My focus regarding my business Tube Ads is teaching businesses how to use social media and video marketing to generate more business and better brand themselves online. Also, I teach businesses how to use social media networks to create long term relationships with internet users which ultimately helps to boost the bottom line.

Important Elements to Include In Your Video Sales Message
Online marketing videos contain the basic elements of a tradition sales message. It’s important to first connect with your audience. You have to let them know that you are familiar with the kind of problem they are having. After identifying their problem then you have to communicate to them in a compelling way that you know the best way for them solve their problem. In your description of how to solve their problem you should state the steps that you will take them through to get to the solution. Also, you will want to mention the possible benefits they will get from implementing your solution. Last but not least is a call to action. You have to ask your prospect to take some kind of action and you have to ensure that it’s an easy process for them to take action. You want to make their experience is as seemless as possible.
Use this acronym to help ensure you have the necessary elements to produce a compelling marketing message
AIDA
Attention - Get their attention by mentioning something important to them or something you believe they will relate to.
Interest - Once you have their attention, sustain that attention by telling them a story, giving statistics, or telling them why they should fix their problem or why they should use your solution.
Desire - Use emotional words to help fan the flames of their desire. Tell them how their life will be different as a result of using your solution.
Action - Ask them to take some kind of action. That action can be to sign up for your email list or buy a product or service you’re offering.
Can Your Marketing Message Survive without Video?
Don’t even think about the future of your internet marketing strategy without considering video. Internet users are more likely to view video than read your text ad or listen to your audio message. Also, using video to market your products and services will offer you new ways to tap in to your viewers emotional center and persuade them to take action.
Video gives you the ability to engage your viewer on multiple levels of communication using images, spoken word, music, sound effects, and motion video. Having access to all these elements in your ad allows you to communicate to people in the way that they learn best. This in turn gives you more power to capture your visitors attention and persuade them to take action.
Moreover, this new medium is growing by leaps and bounds. Video is the fastest growing content segment on the internet. According to comScore, Americans watched 9 billion online videos just in the month of July. Also, Online Publishers Association estimates that 80% of the people who visit your site will watch your video and 52% will take action.
Video is the next evolution of internet marketing. If you want to stay on the cutting-edge of internet success you should consider using video in your marketing strategy. The formula for success using video is debatable but as it stands now, viral videos that cause the viewer to pass information on have been the most successful.
Old TV Commercials Part Two
“Winston tastes good, like a ________ _________.” (Cigarette should)
“My ________ has a first name, that’s __________, my ____________ has a second name that’s ___________…” (My boloney has a first name, that’s Oscar, my boloney has a second name that’s Mayer…)
If you were a kid in the 60’s, chances are you were planted in front of a television, and you can almost hear that tune of the second slogan in your head, cant you? Just in case you came along later, these old slogans stem from TV commercials airing 30-40 years ago. Often paired with music, familiar and newly composed, they helped to sell products.
“McDonald’s is my kind of place, (clap, clap). It’s such a happy place…”
“Things go better with Coca Cola. Things go better with Coke…”
Both of these tunes are easily recalled if you were around when they were used to promote. (Is there a trivia buff out there who knows how many times McDonald’s changed the songs in their commercials?) Regardless, those songs have played themselves out in our heads for decades, and not just for entertainment. Our purchases have been influenced. They’ve also touched us emotionally. You think you’re in charge? Not when it comes to the subconscious influence of association. If you want to be a sexy, macho cowboy and make women melt at the very sight of you, smoke Marlboro’s. Were you a do-it-all woman, and by the way, let men know you were also sexy? “I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, ever let you forget you’re a man,
Cuz I’m a woman, Enjouli(fragrance)” With TV, you didn’t have to spell it out. Appeal to the emotions and you’ve got’em by the tale. Watch for more information on communicating your message through internet marketing.

At the risk of dating myself, I’d like to play a little game with you. Ready?
“Winston tastes good, like a ________ _________.”
“My ________ has a first name, that’s __________, my ____________ has a second name that’s ___________…”
These old slogans stem from TV commercials airing 30-40 years ago. Often paired with music, familiar and newly composed, they helped to sell products.
“I’d rather fight, than ________.” Ask anyone over the age of 50 and they’ll shout the word, “Switch”! This slogan was coined for Lucky Strike Cigarettes, (they’ll tell you that too) back when it was okay to advertise cigarettes on TV.
This form of advertising was highly successful. Pairing music with words and experiences creates a subconscious anchor. Doing so will often cause people to act a certain way, when their choice of action is beneath their level of awareness. Today, TV commercials take things a step further by subconsciously anchoring emotions, as they are associated with products or actions.
The use of subconscious association in advertising is a fascinating study. Depending on the suggestibility of an individual, they can be persuaded to purchase a product, visit a destination, or switch from one company to another without even being aware of why they are choosing to take action.
Get the answers to those slogans listed above in our next blog submission.
Internet Advertising
We complain about our computers – they go down - they freeze once in awhile – but can you imagine a world without them? Without the Internet? If computers disappeared, we’d have to relearn how to live! How would we survive without email? Businesses who’ve relied heavily on this technology (and who hasn’t?) would collapse.
Our society now relies on computers and the Internet so much so that, if they were gone, we would be in a panic trying to figure out how to operate without them. We’ve relied on computers for so long, some of us have forgotten how to live without them. Some of us never have. The Internet has totally changed the way we do things. Information is available at the “click” of our fingers. Like numerous inventions before it, the Internet has enabled our society to grow and prosper in ways unimaginable before it.
The Internet has long been a medium for advertising. That said, familiar vehicles like Email, are becoming out dated and soon to be replaced newer, cutting edge ideas. Stay ahead of the competition! Stay tuned to our blog for more information on the use of video, E-publications, and more.
