A couple months ago I became aware of a really cool video creating service on the web. It's called Animoto.
The way the system works is you feed them a bunch of pictures/images along with some music and they create a video with a mixture of the pictures and a variety of special effects. The result is very cool and can look quite professional.
I'll show you a sample video if you keep reading and click the "continue reading" part below. Then you'll be able to see the video.
At the time I first heard of Animoto, I decided to create…

A few days ago I mentioned that I noticed a couple trends happening in my marketing ventures lately. Actually they seem diametrically opposed (is that the right way to use that term?). The first is the forced continuity by marketers selling their products. The second is the free training being offered by a number of very successful marketers.
The first seems incredibly greedy while the second is incredibly generous. And I get to benefit.

There seem to be two trends I am encountering often lately in my marketing ventures.

I feel like I'm flying. I have so much mapped out that I want to implement, my productivity has never been higher.
If you've read any previous posts, you know I've been working on some WordPress blogs. I've moved into the promotion phase on a number of them. Time to build backlinks!
I've already "stumbled" each blog on StumbleUpon. As expected, I got a bunch of traffic fairly quickly and then that ended. There were just a few adsense clicks too. StumbleUpon was true to its reputation of offering a quick flash of traffic and very little clicking…

So, what's the best way to handle it when you join a membership and then the creator does not deliver as promised?
The easy answer is just to say "quit," but that's not how I want this to turn out. I purchased a wso on the Warrior Forum a short time ago that promised 2 rewritten sales letters a month for some popular Clickbank products. Along with this are some graphics and an autoresponder series designed to encourage the reader to purchase the ebooks.
The quality of the product is excellent and the copywriting is outstanding. I am extremely…
