Facebook, twitter, viddler, Video tying it all together.

    I am doing an experiment, and want to share with you guys. I have a lot of experience in web development and seo, and think video/social media is the future, so I am putting together a fun video /podcast series to drive it all together.

    The link is in my signature. Adventures in Social Media.

    The plan:

    We are recording a weekly show (in my basement), with interesting, bizarre, stories about Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Youtube, etc, with cool people to follow on twitter, we are going to have a social guru of the week, video of the week and add on more pieces as we go on.

    We promote using Seo, press releases, articles, Facebook and twitter,

    We have a Facebook Fan page. (That is new, so not much there)

    A Twitter page.

    As of yesterday, we only have done a post on facebook and a post on twitter, and have gotten 43 unique visitors. So not bad.

    Local press release going out tomorrow, and then when we have more episodes we will start to target some bloggers, and other sources.

    Purpose: To gain a following and market some brands in the future.

    Let me know if you have questions. This has been a learning experience so far. But I truly believe this is the future of the web.

    Maybe not quite the future of the web, but good luck with it nonetheless :)

    OK, added our second video, and received 128 more visits. This is taking off. Getting embedded in other sites. Press Release went national last night. Getting more interesting.

    Hope things work out for you.
    Risky moves sometimes work, and sometimes don't.
    I suggest you think ahead just in case things do work out for you,
    as you might get some copy cats trying to steal your
    members.

    Hey BluEditor. interesting. how would people steal members? if you want to PM me so that isn't out in the general domain that would be OK. I have no idea how that could be the case.

    Guys,
    I agree people like to watch videos--but I kinda skipped through the 28 minutes of yours because I wasn't sure I wanted to watch 2 middle age white guys ramble on about...well, isn't that why Jay Leno is on at 10pm now? I would suggest cutting down the time big time and adding a piece of valuable info, secret,tip for free. One reason I like Russell Brunson so much is because he usually gives away more free info than you get when you actually buy info from someone.

    ..Just my 2 cents and I'll give it to you for free :)

    Hey MaverickGuy. I get it, we are however, not in the education market, more the entertainment and humor market. So I see what you are saying if that is our purpose. BTW, it has worked great for diggnation. They are tonning it.

    Thanks IwantMuzic and bruceslogos.

    FWIW, we jumped to 100 uniques yesterday and are starting to use tubemogul for getting it out to more places. also got a director rating on Youtube so we can do a longer video on youtube. Will see how that works.
