The 30–Day–Challenge–Chronicle

Before I start waxing lyrical about this jaw dropping technology we are introduced to today .. that can have us in the no 4 spot on Google for our niche,  let me say to Phil the man .. wow .. you are just the greatest mate. The 30DC would not be the same without you.

The very shortest video to date .. but does this pack a punch!!  Kudos to Dan Raine for ferriting out this awesome technology.

This a way whereby Ed can help us find stuff on the internet using the ‘Add My Expertise’ button and then the ‘Subscribe’ button to links to our search results.

He asks us to imagine just what this can do for us in terms of our own niche. These amazing results have staggered even the most seasoned of marketers.

After showing us how to sign up to YouTube and how we can integrate our Google Account with our YouTube account, Ed has given us a first-hand glimpse of the many powerful marketing and networking features of YouTube.

The YouTube user page has a feed available which we can of course add into Google Reader and the YouTube video search can be included in our drop-down search menu. It is quite amazing just how many people are waking up to the power of YouTube and just what a splendid tool it is for promoting product.

I particularly like the blog option for automatic framing up of videos – something I will certainly be availing myself of in future.

If you are registered in StumbleUpon and can set this up in your user profiles you can actually stumble your chosen video. Ed did just this with one of his vids where thanks to the magic of FriendFeed which we have yet to address, his review ended up going out to literally thousands of viewers. To coin his phrase “How cool is that?” It doesn’t take too much to realize how powerful this can be for marketing purposes.

The thing that really hit home with me was when Ed mentioned that most people don’t have the time to go charging off searching for information and don’t know how to do what he has been showing us .. and that is part of the magic .. in that it makes us a recognized expert in our chosen niche. Folk come seeking us out.

And isn’t that just what we are wanting them to do? A wonderful tool in our marketing and networking arsenal!
