Thumbs up. This is a quick click for the visitors. Is this ironic that an automated software tool (aka robot) is asking if the viewer/submitter is a robot? :)

Re: The 2015 Video Marketing Cheat Sheet [Infographic]

michaelhartzell — Tue, 19 May 2015 14:15:59 -0000

"4 times as many consumers would rather watch a video" - is easier and simpler for a consumer, especially on a mobile device. Make a point quickly. Those who are making big decisions which impact many lives, they must rely on more than a video.

Whether video works better than text depends on age, product, offer, price, etc. It is possible to tell a great joke poorly and get no laughs and so it is with video.

One thing that will remain true... before people move to "yes", they will be using both their heart and mind. Easier to do so with relevant and helpful video included than not.

Good thoughts. Another way to approach it vs an open-ended "how can I help you?" is "I see you ______. Do you need help with that? I know how to make it ________" And your blog/video tips are both great. thanks.

I like this infographic. They make me cry just a little. Really crazy.

I like it. It will be an improvement. Good step.

Still miss the Content Home Page and its functionality though.

Works for me. I will miss the option to sort by "People"

So what you are saying AJ is that you started out much the same way the Phil did in the movie "Ground Hog Day". Egopreneur who was high on himself and very opportunistic but left you empty with no real fun. And as in the movie, you gained new skills and purpose. Instead of opportunistic and game systems, you chose to have impact. A good story. Maybe your movie is yet to come. :)

Re: Overcoming Your Video Fears

michaelhartzell — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:13:12 -0000

OK. I get it. Fear is the enemy. Overcome fear by hiring someone to follow you and your team around with a video camera. Make it real, authentic, personable and include flying things inside the video. It is good to hear that the video experts started with fear and overcame the lizard brain, fought the resistance and thought "If they hate it, we can delete it. Nothing is permanent after all." :) Appreciate your share. Very Awesome. (And I saw Wistia hanging around Hubspot this morning. Good match up)

Superb list. And of course, Hubspot has a built in keyword tool. Appreciating your share.

These are excellent. Might become a poster on the wall of a staff room I bet. Thank you for the collection.

Incredible. Taxes for Facebook likes. Not liking it.

Re: An Unintentional Guest Blogger: Guerilla Marketing Trainer Michael Hartzell on the topic of dealing with servers.

michaelhartzell — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:17:47 -0000

Charlie, You honor me with your kind words.

You highlighted this well:

"That server is often the weakest link in a very expensive marketing chain. But it’s not always their fault. Sometimes they just don’t know what to do."

It is possible that a lack of confidence (or fear?) is also a barrier.

Hopefully revealing my secret about cheating will not create a wave of cheating for the wrong reasons. :)

Thank you for helping me carry the torch and having an impact.

Douglas Idugboe - You summarized this very well. The line has to be drawn somewhere. Can't say "anything goes". Advertisers who are competing for the same dollar are not expected to intertwine services. Unaffiliated TV and Radio stations have not been heard to promote each other.

Gotta love it. Thanks for the great thoughts.
Actually while your contribution to the latest and greatest is remarkable, social media marketing fits under the umbrella of "Guerrilla Marketing" very easily. Jay Conrad Levinson in GM talks about creating a synergy between a variety of marketing methods. Odd how the book which is over 20 years old now applies more than ever for the entrepreneur.

thank you for the great thoughts.

Another sign of where people spend their time in the future. Destination entertainment outside of the home will continue to be challenged. Tech is preferred over people an push button the solution over a conversation?

Since listening is the most important aspect of a relationship and tone is second to body language for communication... providing this great resource might prove beneficial to not only music lovers. this might help someone save a relationship or promote their business.

Kudos to you.

Re: Five Essential Elements To Every Online Strategy

Paul,

While I agree with all of these points... they are for the now.
Will the 5 points remain the same in 12 months? Or will the five points change because of the clutter and over abundance of junk filling the virtual cracks?

good stuff. thanks!

Re: Is Facebook in Trouble? My Wife thinks so | facebook | social-news- Advice for charities

michaelhartzell — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:52:54 -0000

Not yet. It does become troublesome though if you need to regularly learn the latest update by no choice of yours. The software on your desktop is changed via a users choice and so can plan life around the change and learning curve. On Facebook, forced continual change will leave many hesitant to go too deep. On the other hand, it is possible the changes are meant to make it more difficult to do that which is more expensive or has the least pay off. By making the hurdles higher and buttons less obvious, maybe those less profitable will simply be forgotten.

Discouraging but since most are still in the learning curve, a new path of learning will not affect them much.
