Easy Video Suite Marketing Software is LIVE!


Video marketing had to evolve. It was inevitable.
It was becoming much too complicated. And if it isn't too complicated for some people, it's still definitely too time consuming.

You had to worry about the following:
  • Redoing videos over and over again to make sure you got everything right in one take or face the daunting task of loading your raw video into Camtasia or another editor to make everything perfect.
  • Making sure your videos were optimized for the web (So they looked good and didn't take too long to start playing).
  • Having a different mobile version of your videos to show users of iPhone, iPad, Android and other mobile devices (More and more people are doing most of the web viewing from their smart phones and other mobile devices).
  • Basically using "duct-tape" to try and put all the pieces together with Camtasia, Screenflow, Jing, Handbrake while continually looking for the "perfect" solution to make it all easier or less time consuming.
  • Uploading large files to your own server, Youtube, Amazon S3 or other video hosting service.
  • Getting the proper code in place to display your videos with the hope that mobile devices would be able to see the mobile version of your video.
Well, someone has finally done something about it.

Josh Bartlett, the creator of the industries leading video player called Easy Video Player, has truly done something innovative in video marketing. His Easy Video Player software had game-changing features two years ago that other video marketing solutions have just recently tried to introduce.
And on top of that, Josh could boast about the following:
  • Tens of thousands of satisfied customers.
  • The lowest refund rate in the industry for Clickbank (Only 2%).
  • More top marketers and 6 to 7 figure launches use Easy Video Player than anything else. (Mike Filsaime, Chris Farrel, Ryan Deiss, Jason Moffatt, Maria Andros, Justin Brooke to name a few).
Rather than throw in a few, new and "cool" features and re-launch his product simply for the money, he listened to his customers and did something else. He took over two years and hundreds of thousands of his own dollars to create something that will change the way you market your business with videos.

You'll now be able to record, edit, publish, market and track all your videos with one, easy-to-use solution.
Josh is releasing this all-in-one video marketing solution on January 15th, 2013 with a free video series leading up to the launch.

Watch the first video here.

He's going to reveal the story about his journey and passion that led him to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars from his own pocket to create the ultimate video marketing solution.
And how you can now do the following:
  • Drag and drop your video into a desktop application (Mac and Pc Compatible) that will optimize and convert your video for the web, let you edit if needed, upload it and give you the code to copy and paste to your website.
  • Record your screen or face camera from within this application and even draw on the screen.
  • Never worry about whether users on mobile devices can see your videos (It creates and displays a mobile version of your videos for you).
  • Split test your videos to see which ones are shared the most, have the most engagement and which versions make the most money.
That's just scratching the surface...
What all this ultimately means for you is that marketing your business with videos is going to be much, much easier. And you'll make a ton more money while having more time to do what you love.

Anyways...Josh is also going to demonstrate the amazing power of his creation in this series.
So go see how video marketing has evolved.

Text Marketing Mobile Call to Action

Let's face it, it's easy to sign up for a text message marketing service and have your own keyword and a short code for your customers to text into. But that alone won't make you any money and you will be no better off 30 days from now from when you first signed up to start mobile marketing. In order for text marketing to really increase your sales you need to promote your short code and give your customers a reason to text in. Here are the ten easiest ways to promote your text marketing mobile call to action:

  1. Add a new post to your Facebook wall. Do this every few days as new messages will gradually push your call to action down the page. You can also send a group message to all of your fans.
  2. Send a Tweet out and add "Retweet if you love this." Allow the message to get spread further than just your followers. People who love your business will want to share it with their friends.
  3. Tell your customers directly. Have you ever tried to check out at Kohls or another department store? They always ask if you want to sign up for their credit card and save 10% on the spot. Same goes for your mobile marketing campaign. Offer a reward on the spot for signing up. The auto-reply message will display on their phone in seconds after they text your keyword to the shortcode.
  4. Add the call to action to your Yelp review. Yelp users only visit an average of three business listing before deciding on a place to spend their money at. Give the readers on Yelp a great reason to visit yours by placing a mobile call to action that puts your offer right on their phone.
  5. Place a mobile phone graphic and the call to action on your website. Adding this is an easy way to capture and convert web traffic into real sales. Write a new blog post about your mobile campaign and what type of offers your customers can expect.
  6. Make up simple "box toppers," those of you in the pizza business know how powerful these can be to get customers to return to your business. Retail and restaurants should add the mobile call to action on the bottom of receipts or include it on a comment card you hand each visitor.
  7. Educate your staff. You can't do it all and the success of any marketing program often rests in their hands. Make sure your staff knows about the text marketing campaign, how it works, how it will benefit them and their excitement when telling customers about it will lead to higher opt-ins.
  8. Send an email blast out promoting the new marketing offer and describe the benefit customers will receive for signing up. We have seen businesses that offer something free to the customers on their next visit to grow their mobile database the quickest.
  9. Place a sign in your window. This will help capture opt-ins from people not visiting your business and leads to new customers trying you out for the first time. How many times has a coupon or special offer lead you to try a business for the first time? Give people a reason to spend money with you.
  10. Integrate into traditional marketing mediums such as newspaper, direct mail, radio or television. Don't go out and start a new campaign in these mediums if they are not part of your regular marketing strategy but if they are, adding the mobile call to action will increase their effectiveness by capturing opt-ins and delivering your offer right to their phone leading to higher redemption rates.

Most of these ways to promote your mobile call to action such as integrating with social media and other Internet sites takes less than an hour. Other methods are equally as simple and only take a little time. Building your list with mobile marketing is mostly hands-off and the results in redemption rates and return on investment are unmatched in marketing today. Take some time in the beginning and your text marketing efforts will pay off for months and years to come.

Mobile Marketing: Alternative Marketing Revolution

The growth in mobile phone marketing is exploding exponentially upwards with a mobile advertising market numbering over five billion consumers, this is five times the size of the internet market and growing rapidly and yet there is still very little competition in this very lucrative market, due to a lack of knowledge and the necessary skills needed to successfully tap into this once in a life time opportunity. Many internet marketers have come to the realisation that marketing via mobile phones is in the process of superseding the internet and they are quickly educating themselves in the new technologies and processes of mobile marketing so that they don't get left behind in the rush.

The Evidence is before Your Eyes!

Have you ever noticed that people tend to spend more time chatting on their cell phones and surfing the mobile net rather than sitting in front of their PC. It is an established fact that over 5 billion people walk around with a mobile phone - the market is five times larger than the internet. If you are seriously considering getting into mobile marketing, then I must congratulate you; as you will inevitably be getting in on the ground floor of this very lucrative business model; but first you will need to fully digest and understand just how explosive this mobile web marketing revolution really is:

Over 2 million smart phones have recently been sold by Apple while Google have recently released a report showing that over 160,000 Droid smart phones are being activated every single day, 24/7! Although the web is quite literally overrun with advertising, nobody has taken serious note of the alternative that is staring them in the face. There is still very little competition in mobile marketing. This massive market could be yours to fully exploit at will!

The statistics show that over HALF of all new Internet connections are from mobile "smart-phones" over 5 billion mobile phone owners are carrying miniature computers around with them in their pockets or handbags 24 hours a day seven days a week. Furthermore, statistics prove that over 90% of people keep their phones within 3 feet of themselves 24/7. And yet it is a fact that the majority of online marketers simply have no idea how to market to people who aren't glued to their PC.

The Facts About Mobile Marketing

Do you realise that with mobile advertising your Ad is going to be the ONLY Ad on the Page! For this very reason the conversion rates achieved with mobile marketing completely blow those achieved on internet marketing right out of the water. Imagine just how easy it would be to grab a person's attention without the distraction of numerous AdWords and flashing banners on the page. YOU are the one and ONLY call to action on the entire page!

With this form of affiliate marketing you do not need to learn any new tricks! ClickBank, CPA and the building of marketing lists work in exactly the same way on mobile as they do on your PC. (But it's a lot easier to do on mobile)....Once everything is fully implemented and running there is no need to constantly make changes as what works with mobile marketing STAYS working. No constant changes to 'algorithms', no 'spiking keyword bids'...etc...etc..

So What are You Going to Do About It!

It must be perfectly obvious to you by now; that now is the right time to take decisive action if you really want to break into this very lucrative area of mobile web marketing. Nobody has an absolute advantage over you at this present moment in time...but you will need to move very quickly, if you really want to find yourself in the exclusive and enviable position of being able to seize upon the prime assets within the mobile phone advertising market as this web marketing phenomenon explodes right around the globe!

You still have a little time left, but not very much...

The advent of mobile marketing has just begun... history tells us that it is always the early adapters to new technologies that reap the massive rewards on offer. People, who procrastinate and put things off, content to watch from the sidelines, eventually find that they have left it too late, to make any sort of impression. They find that the entire landscape has changed; the goal posts have shifted. They suddenly find themselves faced with insurmountable competition from those who were intelligent enough to jump in at the start. They have been left out in the cold!

Head on over and check out the sensational mobile monopoly system, you will be very impressed with what is being offered.

I've had the pleasure of interviewing Jeff about his book on my mobile marketing talk show and he is every bit as amazing in person as he is in the book.

Anyone...and I mean anyone that speaks the words "mobile marketing" should read this book. That means if you're an entrepreneur, a small agency owner, a consultant, a large agency, a brand marketer, client side, CMO, CEO, you name it...this is the book you should read on mobile marketing. There are a few others out there you should read too but not many dive into the logic and thinking behind the initiatives executed in this book.

It's a great read for beginners to mobile marketing and a must read for anyone looking to execute a mobile initiative. A lot of people get caught up in the hype and innovation of mobile but Jeff tells it how it is. He talks about the strategies that have worked while addressing the innovation. He show you proved campaigns from big brands as well small business like a car dealership.

Mobile is also not going to save your business. Jeff is very much a realistic marketer, business person and human being. No BS, no hype, he breaks down the mobile space very well so that anyone can understand it.

I highly recommend this book. Jeff Hasen is a great writer and one of the most knowledgeable people in the mobile space both of which are actively displayed in this book.

I've had the pleasure to interview some of the top mobile marketers in the industry on my show and I CONSTANTLY quote Jeff's book, his work, his insights and more. I very much see the space the way he does which makes it easy to agree with him but he backs everything up.

If you're in marketing it's a must read for sure.

Cover of "Mobile Advertising: Supercharge...
Cover via Amazon
Chetan Sharma, Joe Herzog and Victor Melfi have provided a comprehensive analysis of the growing field of mobile marketing and advertising--deftly illuminating the refinement of advertising arts from persuading the customer to now engaging the customer wherever, whenever, and whatever they may be doing via their mobile or wireless phone.

As an executive and consultant in the mobile marketing business, I especially liked their engaging tone and educational style which truly separates them from other books which spend too much time on the bits and bytes of mobile technology and fail to take on its complex commercial methods.

Mobile Advertising's extensive review of this developing and lucrative field will supercharge beginners understanding and even polish a professional's perspective.

Setting the stage with an evolution of the advertising business and how its convergence with mobile technology will transform marketing, they take the reader from baby steps to the most current uses and applications of mobile marketing including an entire chapter covering 20 case studies drawn from in-market company experiences around the world--well beyond the now 5 year old scenario of mobile coupon delivery as you walk past a Starbucks. That chapter is worth the cost of the book on its own if you want to learn about this business.

They demonstrate a full command of the complex ecosystem as reflected by their technical diagrams illuminating the magic of mobile, their illuminating business model analyses as well as comparative pricing methods and current levels for mobile advertising. These guys know all the buzz around mobile advertising and show the reader where the biz is. Very valuable for anyone interested in this new medium for mass advertising.

Integration Mobile Marketing and Social Media

Image representing Twitter as depicted in Crun...
Image via CrunchBase

Mobile marketing is a natural extension of social media. If you are successful in promoting your business and spreading word of mouth advertising by "creating apostles" to your business with social media then mobile marketing is the next step to take to increase your customer interaction, frequency and sales.

These platforms from Twitter, Facebook, mobile marketing and now new sites that are showing huge promise such as Groupon and FourSquare can all be used effectively alone. When we see the big difference and missed opportunity for small business owners is how to run multiple social/mobile marketing platforms together and integrated with each other.

It is important to use multiple platforms for several reasons. First, social marketing provides the highest ROI in marketing. While it does take some time in the beginning to learn these services effectively, they are essentially free and only take your time. If you are short on time, there companies that will build your social media sites and manage the marketing strategy for you so you can focus on other aspects of your business.

Second, customers that are more involved in your business and feel a deeper connection are less likely to leave you for another business. Social and Mobile create brand loyalty, positioning, differentiation and if you reward these customers accordingly, a very high rate of customer satisfaction that cannot be matched by direct mail, television, radio or other forms of print or mass media marketing.

With all of these sites and methods you must add value to the users experience by providing your fans, followers and subscribers with discounts, exclusive promotions and sales. If you you're your customers what they want, you will be rewarded. People who allow you to engage them in these mediums are most likely to spend money with you, spread the word of your business: "Creating Apostles!", and you are circling the wagon so to speak around your best customers, the ones that support your business and provide the main base of your profits.

People that are fans on your Facebook page are more likely to buy from your business. Use twitter to drive traffic to your Facebook page and get them signed up as a fan. Use Facebook to offer fans the chance to answer the mobile call to action to receive another reward for signing up to your mobile campaign. When you send out a new SMS message you will soon be able to have the ability to have the message automatically update your twitter and Facebook page. This will complete the circle and drive customers ultimately to your mobile list.

Unlike other marketing mediums, mobile marketing is far from saturation or showing any signs of slowing growth. Customers will not be members of multiple or dozens of Facebook fan pages or be following thousands on Twitter. With mobile marketing your customers will most likely follow one business from each market category. This allows you alone to have their sole attention which will drive your sales and ROI to new levels in this economy. While you may be able to use effectively to show a ROI or increase in sales, combine the power of mobile and social media marketing to compete and grow your sales.
