They’ve done it! They’ve pulled off the impossible!

Sir Richard Branson has agreed to grace our shores to speak exclusively for our good friends at 21st Century Education. It’s the biggest event in their history…

They’re calling it “Australia’s #1 Financial Education Event Of The Year”

Sir Richard Branson is one of the most influential men of the last 100 years. Why? Well in case you need a refresher:

	He’s the founder of Virgin Group (which has grown from humble beginnings – as a mail order record retailer – to more than 300 companies)
	Was knighted in 1999 for his “services to entrepreneurship”
	The 5th richest person in the United Kingdom (with an estimated net worth of approximately £2.58 billion)

But that’s not all…

In a world-first – the man who GOOGLE, FACEBOOK & MICROSOFT pay BIG bucks to speak… Tim Ferriss will be joining Richard at this event.

Tim is just incredible. If you haven’t read his bestselling book The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich – grab yourself a copy right now and prepare to have your mind blown.

Tim will teach you:

	How to outsource your life and do whatever you want for a year, only to return to a bank account 50% larger than before you left
	How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their jobs
	How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the principles of little-known European economists
	How to train your boss to value performance over presence, or kill your job (or company) if it’s beyond repair
	How to trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements
	What automated cash-flow “muses” are and how to create one in 2-4 weeks
	How to cultivate selective ignorance—and create time—with a low-information diet
	Management secrets of Remote Control CEOs
	The crucial difference between absolute and relative income
	How to get free housing worldwide and airfare at 50-80% off
	How to fill the void and creating meaning after removing work and the office

Seeing Tim Ferriss live on stage is just as exciting as seeing Sir Richard Branson. What we mean is… he’s one of those guys that will change your life! And we’re not even hyping him up here – it’s just the honest truth.

Seeing these guys together is an opportunity so rare, so special…

But it doesn’t stop there! This is 21st Century Education’s biggest event in history, remember…

…And to live up to that they’re pulling in some of the leading financial educators and business leaders from all over the world to join Branson and Ferriss for this epic event!

How and Why You Should Market Your YouTube Videos

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 01:16:47 +0000

Do you enjoy uploading videos that you made to the YouTube website? If so, you may be pleased with all of the traffic that you get. YouTube is known to get thousands of visitors a day. For you, this means that your YouTube videos may be watched by thousands of people or more! As much traffic as YouTube brings you and your videos, you may be looking for more. If you are, you will want to examine other ways to market your YouTube videos. Just a few of the many marketing approaches that you can take are outlined below.

Perhaps, the easiest way to market your YouTube videos is to let friends, family members, or coworkers know that you have videos available for viewing on YouTube. For the best chance of success, you are advised to email the direct links for your YouTube videos to those that you know. If you just happen to mention having your videos on YouTube to a friend in passing, let them know what your videos are about or what your YouTube screen name is. YouTube allows site visitors to browse through all of their videos or search for something in particular, like one of your videos.

Another one of the many ways that you can market your YouTube video is by having any of your videos appear on any websites or blogs that you have. What is nice about YouTube is that you can easily get a few HTML codes. Those codes will enable you or any other internet users to post a YouTube video online. It is not uncommon for bloggers to insert a YouTube video in their blog, by using generated HTML codes. It is advised that you post your own YouTube videos on your own websites, but if you know of anyone else who has a blog, you may want to think about giving them the needed HTML codes to have your YouTube video appear on their blog. In most cases, you will find that even strangers are willing to do so, as long as your YouTube video is connected, in one way or another, to their blog or website.

You can also market your YouTube videos on online message boards. Online message board marketing can be done two different ways. For instance, there are a large number of online message boards that let you discuss of share anything, in general, with other board members. You may want to think about posting links to some of your YouTube videos, especially if you think the other members would enjoy watching them. If you belong to an online message board or forum that allows you to have a signature, you will want to look into doing so. Your signature will always appear at the end of each of your messages; therefore, the more active you are online, the more exposure your YouTube videos are likely to get.

Now that you know a few ways that you can go about marketing your YouTube videos to other internet users, you may be wondering exactly why you should. As it was mentioned above, YouTube, alone, is likely to generate thousands of viewers for your videos. If you are looking for more views, whether just to increase your online popularity or to help you get new clients, if you connect your YouTube videos to your business somehow, you will want to take the time to market your YouTube videos. What is nice is that you have a number of different methods available, including the three mentioned above, and most are free. In fact, marketing your YouTube videos to other internet users isn’t only free, but it is easy to. Many marketing tactics will only take up a few minutes of your time, if even that.

The decision as to whether or not you want further market your YouTube videos is yours to make. If you find yourself unsatisfied or unhappy with your current YouTube viewer ship, you may want to think about doing a little bit of your own marketing.

Create presence through Social Media Optimization

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 01:13:22 +0000

Websites try to increase their popularity through all possible means and this includes social media optimization also. Social media sites are catching-up very fast. Most net-users are connecting to their account daily, while some even twice or thrice a day.

Users are interested in the applications, games, social events, activities and so on. So Companies are organizing these activities in respect to customer demand to create awareness and remind the people of their presence, constantly. Social media optimization popularizes website through:

Links: Creating links is the first and foremost priority for websites. There are many sites which do not pay much attention for their promotion. To increase the presence of the website; SEO needs to increase the link-ability of content. SEO Services Company adds blogs, creates white papers, and introduces thought pieces and simply aggregate content into useful information. All these activities create links with other websites and convert the dormant site active.

Tagging and Bookmarking: Constructing sure pages including a list of relevant tags. This also includes suggested notes for links – which come-up automatically when pages are tagged. It is essential to tag the pages and not just the home page to become popular on social bookmarking sites.

Inbound links rewards: Blogs are important linking factor to score inbound links. Blogs create links to increase the search result ranking and make the website more popular. The blogs are linked directly to the website and the readers can connect to you instantly.

Content travels faster: Social media optimization is not just creating the content. It means making dynamic changes which travel faster by submitting them to relevant sites. This content travels fast and ultimately drives back to your site.

Encourage mach-up: Let the other person use the content especially from YouTube, etc. It is beneficial to syndicate content through RSS. It makes it easy to create mash-ups to drive traffic and augment content, specifically for you.

Social media optimization is very actively used medium to introduce you in a very subtle manner. Websites can create interest in people and also inform search engines about their networking through their activities and links. Both these factors mark websites into higher ranking in search engines.

How To Make A Business Fan Page On Facebook

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 01:09:05 +0000

Making a fan page on facebook is a simple process. Fan pages can be used for business and pleasure; make a fan page for fun or as a marketing tool for your business. Fan Pages are often referred to as Business Pages.

To create a Facebook fan page you must first have a Facebook profile and be logged in. Information regarding your page should also be to hand – content, images etc.

Think about the title for your fan page – this is very important as Facebook will NOT let you change it. Take your time and pick your title carefully as this is what people will see when searching for your page and it is also what Facebook uses when searching for your fan page.

An eye-catching image is a must. This will draw users to your fan page. I feel a square image is best as Facebook will frame your image and crop it into a square icon. It is this square icon that will show in the news stream.

Now you are ready to create your fan page. Click on the link “Ads and Pages” link on the left side of your home page and then on the “Create Page”. Select the category of the page and the title you thought of earlier - I would advise on clicking the “Do not make Page publicly visible at this time.” until you get your page looking just the way you want.

This is your page created. Editing the information is very similar to your normal facebook profile. Make sure you add your image and information about your page before you publish and start promoting. No one will become a fan of a fan page that is empty!

Customizing your fan page design is more complex and requires FBML & HTML knowledge however it is worth considering if you are serious about getting your brand image across!

Now invite all your friends to become fans – all of them (the more fans the better!)

How to Rank High on Youtube

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 01:02:02 +0000

How to Rank High ON YOUTUBE THE EASY WAY!

YouTube Traffic Made Easy

Did you know that youtube.com is ranked number 3 on the entire internet as one of the most popular sites in the world according to Alexa.com.

I’m sure you knew that. Check out these statistics:

Total number of YouTube videos = over 120,000,000

Number of videos uploaded per day = about 200,000
Time required to see all the videos = over 600 years
Number of videos watched daily = over 100,000,000
Amount of content uploaded every minute = 13 hours
Number of accounts on YouTube = over 300,000,000

Obviously this is the best place to drive traffic to your website or become popular online but competition is tough and get your videos to be seen by people becomes more difficult by the minute.

So, today you I will share some of my tricks that I personally use to get more views, ratings and subscribers into your YouTube account.

Page 1 of YouTube Traffic Made Easy

YouTube is kind of like Google, people search for something and expect to get results (in this case videos) related to the keywords they used.

Well lets say you wanted to post a video about “How to make a blog” if you go on YouTube now and type that exact same thing about 85,000 results will show but of course most people only look at the first page, your goal is to be on that first page and this is how to do it.

SECRET TIP #1: Every time you’re going to upload a new video search for keywords related to the content of the video you’re going to upload, the video with most views will pop up on the first page so before you upload your video, click on the first video of the first page and see their video info. You must copy their tags only not their description. The purpose of this is to get your video to be in their related videos even though yours is new giving you a bigger chance of exposure.

NOTE: If your video has a lot of views it will instantly dominate the keyword your aiming making you number 1 on the first page, and even if it doesn’t have a lot of views it is still possible to be on the first page just by copying the tags of the most popular video.

Increase Your YouTube Views

Some people try to cheat YouTube to try to get more exposure for their videos using Auto-refreshers and software’s like Tubeincreaser to give fake views to their videos. I believe this is unnecessary because the whole point of uploading videos is for people to see them.

But, if you still feel the need to do it, you can do it with YouTube simple.

SECRET TIP #2: After you have uploaded your video go to My Videos> AudioSwap and click on “I’m feeling lucky” as many times as you feel like it, this action will reload your video again, and again with different songs in seconds, giving you instant views every time you reload, once you get the views you want simply exit and don’t save your changes, since your doing it within YouTube, your views will not be frozen once they hit a certain amount, but if you use software like tube-increaser there is a chance your views will get frozen.

AUDIOSWAP: allows you to replace the background sound of your music with music provided by YouTube.

Getting Subscriptions, Comments & Ratings on YOUTUBE

Subscriptions in YouTube are the main topic, people like having subscribers which is the equivalent to followers on Twitter. Now I will share some tips that will help you gain subscribers in YouTube.

Offer something free to share with viewers, or give something free to viewers for example an e-book or share something someone might enjoy usually giving freebies can help you gain subscribers

Upload videos every month constant activity and videos in your channel will gain you subscribers, there is more chances of getting subscribers if you have five videos than someone that has 1
Subscribe to other people’s channels sometimes they will sub back
Comment, rate and complement videos as well as channels that you like some users will appreciate it and subscribe in return
Also add as many friends as you can, not only will make you popular but your videos will get viewed more.

YouTube & Google

Since YouTube is owned by Google, your videos can sometime show as results in Google, the more views you have the more traffic your going to get and the more popular your channel will be.

One more tip when uploading a video, make sure your video title always is clear and related to the content of the video, when a user makes a search on YouTube or Google they look for titles related to the keywords.

If your title is “How to make a blog” and a user types that same keywords then most likely your video will show as first result, numbers and symbols might not be helpful to better rankings in YouTube or Google.

15 Tips To Get More Views On Youtube

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 00:57:47 +0000

Here is a list of tips and tricks you can use to drive more traffic to your videos and increase the views on YouTube. The next time that you upload a video make sure you tick off all these great advices and you’ll see results in no time.

Here we go…
1- Add rich meta-data related to your video (tags, description, titles,etc). Don’t use random popular tags, youtube is not stupid.

2- Update your channel as frequently as possible. The more you upload, the more chances people will end up in one of your videos, and eventually people will subscribe to your channel.

3- Plan your stuff and do some research on your related videos, sort them by views, study them and come up with better ideas by modeling what successful people are doing.

4- Always watermark your videos with your logo or website’s URL, you can do this with any video editing software.

5- Add the URL of your blog or website in the description areas of your videos and include a call to action such as “subscribe!” or “visit for more awesome videos”.

6- Don’t do sub4sub. It doesn’t drive any traffic to your videos and you will look “cheap”

7- Try to become a youtube partner. If you own the content of your videos (you also need to own the music), you can share revenue with Youtube but most importantly, you’ll be able to customize your youtube channel with your own header and cool graphics and people love that.

8- Create compelling and controversial content. If the content is not compelling, your video will not become to go viral.

9- Include the keyword “video” in your title and tags as many viewers’ searches will likely include it, even if they search on google. If your video is a tutorial, add “how to”, “guide” and “tutorial”, if it is a review then add “review”, “compared” and “vs”.

10- Keep your videos short. If your videos are too long, they may become boring after 5 minutes. If you make them very short, like 5 seconds and they are really good people will watch them at least one or two times more to check if they missed something.

11- Use Interesting and compelling thumbnails, more than 70% of views come from related videos so you want to make sure your thumbnails call viewers attention.

12- Allow people to rate, comment and embed your videos on their sites and blogs. (allowed by default)

13- Use annotations to display a call to action message like “subscribe to my videos” or to redirect your viewers to another video.

14- Only upload worth-watching videos.

15- Get a mentor or join a free course on how to dominate youtube

Add Twitter Followers by Conducting a Survey on Twitter

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 00:52:06 +0000

When it comes to Twitter and the process to add twitter followers, have you thought about using surveys on Twitter to do so? While the idea may seem a bit far fetched, it really is a good way to add followers to your Twitter profile. Why is that, you may ask? Everyone likes taking a survey! What you would need to do is to create a survey that people will take. This survey can range in ideas from the concrete to the abstract. Creating a survey is not that hard to do.

To add twitter followers to your list, you will need to create a survey using tools such as TwtPoll and other such tools that are provided by Twitter. Here is how to create a survey. You need to define goals of the survey, pick the tools you will use, write the questions, test it and then put it up on Twitter. This survey can be from 5 questions to as many as you want. Deciding the questions and content can be the hardest part for creating a survey on Twitter. Once you have decided on the content, then you can move on.

Once you have got the survey complete, then it is time to put the survey up on Twitter. All you have to do is tweet the survey URL on your profile page and wait for people to take it. Word of mouth will allow you to add twitter followers to your profile as they take the survey and leave comments. You can do more than one survey if you wish to do so. Once your own followers have taken the survey, and if they liked it, then they will spread the word through their followers and more will come and take the survey.

The content of the survey is up to you, but the advice is to make the content interesting like current events or something that many people would be interested in. This is the best way to create a survey that will add twitter followers to your listings. The categories are endless so be creative and fresh without going overboard when creating the content for the survey. If the survey is for business, then you will need to know what content to put into the survey for a business purpose and create it.

To be able to add twitter followers, your content has to be unique and fresh. It also has to be relevant to both you and what people want. By making the material engaging, thought provoking and creative, you will be certain to be able to add people to your profile page. It really isn’t that hard to do and the rewards of doing a survey on Twitter will allow you to both get lots of replies as well as adding more people to your Twitter account. So why not create a survey on Twitter today? Odds are that you will create a lot of talk and provoke some thought with the survey that you create on Twitter.

Are You Using Twitter Lists?

Louis Lautman — Mon, 31 May 2010 00:49:12 +0000

Twitter lists are essentially the long awaited Twitter “groups.” This is a way to group your followers into categories and a way to find new followers. You now have the ability to group people any way you choose and name the list anything you choose. You can even include someone you’re not following in a list.

For example, we have a list of our virtual assistants on the Activ8Business Twitter account. You can do the same, create a list of your employees, your affiliates, your competition, anything and anyone. Lists are your opportunity to create customized groupings on Twitter.

Creating A Twitter List
To start creating your Twitter lists is simple. When you’re logged in look belong the search box and click New List. You will have to chose a name for your list and then you have two choices: Public or Private List.

Public List: These will be viewable by everyone. This is a great way to recommend followers.

Private List: These will only be viewable by you, not even those in the list will know they are there. This is a great way to keep an “eye” on your competition.

You will now be prompted to add users to your list. You can also add users when you are doing everyday Twitter browsing. Just click the drop down box and you will be able to add them to lists right from their profile. You can even add yourself to lists this way.

Removing Yourself from an Un-wanted List
If you have been listed somewhere you don’t want to be you can block that person. Now keep in mind if you do this that person will not be able to follow you. This action can be undone. Visit your profile and click on your Listed link. From here you will click on the List you want to block. Once at the list along the right column you will see Block.

Finding Lists to Follow
Check out listorious.com where they offer a categorized directory of Twitter lists. Also the popular TweetMeMe has a list directory of the current “top” lists lists.tweetmeme.com

As you can see Twitter has added this feature to enhance your Twitter optimization. These new lists can be integrated into many Twitter management systems as well, like Seesmic and Hootsuite. Start making your lists, have fun and Tweet about your lists so people can follow them.
