Hey,
Just check out Jennifer’s post over at E-Biz Booster Blog. She found a review video on YouTube, which shows how easy it is to make video funnier (if you have the right kind of equipment).
For example the
“The Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP”
But never forget, a godd video needs much more than special effects. People get tired of those very quickly. At first is the hype and then after everybody has exploited the new “gimmick” it’s getting pretty boring very quickly.
A good video needs good content that engages the viewer. No matter if you are creating a short or a longer video try to tell a complete story. That’s what’s working best.
…and don’t forget. A video should not be a single second longer than necessary to convey that story.
Maybe I’ll write more about online video in the future, but now check out the video: Quickcam Orbit MP Webcam from Logitech
Yours
Jennifer

You need to see this!

Every year, this fellow Ed Dale generously teaches ANYONE
how to get started with an online business.
No agenda, no catch, no shenanigans.
It’s a month of free training that’s easily worth thousands
of dollars.
Why do I recommend it?
- Well, Ed Dale is a successful Internet entrepreneur himself. He knows what he is talking about and he walks his talk.
- It’s seriously about building a business! 10.00 US$ doesn’t seem to be much, but you get 1 systematic approach you can build on.
It’s supposed to sharpen your business skills as well. Too many people jump from project to project and never reach their potential.
- The challange is going on for years and it helped folks all over the world to change their lives.
- You don’t need to spend any money in order to participate.
- Check it out!

P.S.: Don’t write this off as “worthless” because it’s free.
Nowadays famous Internet gurus like Jason Moffatt and a few others actually got their start
by going though this exact training.
It will be fun, too. Go to the site now and watch Ed’s intro video.

Hopefully you have noticed the current rumor about “Net Neutrality”.
Watch this video, if you don’t know what this is all about.
But much more important, please,
help yourself, help your country,
protect your future and support the cause.

Why do you need to support this movement?
- Today’s Internet gives everybody the same chance to get
heard. All you need is a good idea or a strong cause to lure
people to your Web site.
- The ultimate commercialization of the Internet must
not happen. Look at radio and TV, the content is almost
100% commercial. The “little guy or gal” is heard only via the Net.
- The diversity of free content on the Net is at risk.
- Big corporations like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner, etc.
want to cash in and control the Net.
- Would you like your ISP to be able to tell you, which Web sites
you can visit at high speed and which at lame speed? Surely not.
- All TCP/IP packets have to remain equal.
Support the cause, fight for your neutral Net. Go there now and submit a
petition to your Congress men.
“ Save The Internet: ACT NOW!”
Yours
John W. Furst
P.S.: You have to ACT NOW!

Wordpress is probably the most popular Blog software used. However, some folks complain about it, therefore, I have written a few posts about the alternative Weblog platform Serendipity (S9Y).
If you compare Wordpress with s9y it looks almost like the comparison between Microsoft and Linux for example. It’s a matter of taste and about what your neighbor is using.
Serendipity is nothing short of. Actually I think it’s technically sophisticated and even easier to use.
It’s just not “there”, in terms of presence on the Web.
If you are feeling even only slightly uncomfortable with Wordpress, check out Serendipity.
This Blog here is a Wordpress Blog, but I certainly run Serendipity myself. I like to set my feet on ground in both “Worlds”.

Did you hear about the new Going Natural 3.0 videos from Stompernet?
Those are definitely worth being watched. Since they are long, you should take notes as you go, and most importantly: You need to take action and apply what Andy Jenkins is teaching you.
- Video 1 teaches the Adwords Triangualtion Method and tells you how to buy buyers instead of raw traffic from Google. It’s cheaper than you think.
- The other 2 videos give solid SEO advice and introduce a new free tool, which shows you the weak sides of your Web presence.
You can read about the details on my E-Biz Booster Blog.

I just wanted to let you know that I am experiencing a “Calima” a duststorm from the Sahara here in Tenerife.
Since I am in the leeward side in the North of Tenerife, I only saw the dust in the air and the low visibility. Howver some islands, like El Hierro are hit much harder with 120 km/h (75 mph) winds.

This is a personal note to Internet marketer James Brausch (http://www.jamesbrausch.com/i-just-decided-on-the-christmas-gift/), who sent me a Christmas gift today. Interesting “stuff” your Ranking Course. Thanks for the US$ 2,000.00 gift.
I put it into action immediately. Look at this:
Going from 293/-611/420 (Google/Yahoo/MSN) to 958/-51/593 with simple Blog template and configuration changes. Took not even 1 hour after I have finished watching your videos.
“No, it is not this Blog.”
Merry Christmas
And Thanks
Yours
John
