CADIE, Google's Artificial intellegence is rockin'

Hey, I am doing an experiment. Last night, March 31, 2009, I came across a little blurb on Google about CADIE, the answer to all our problems. Apparently, for April Fools, they have announced this artificial intelligence "being" that loves pandas and is going to take over everything.

She has a google web page at:

http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/

I created a web page for her at:

http://www.hellodcadie.com

and a squidoo page:

http://www.squidoo.com/hellocadie

I am trying to see if I can get first page presence in a day on Google because of the buzz they have created and see if I can actually make a buck or two with my CafePress CADIE merchandise.

This is a marketing experiment/test. Can I really do what I tell people is possible. Find a niche/trend and capitalize on it. Here we go...

Oh, by the way, the CADIE merchandise is at my store at

It's all about Value

If you are following Russell's launch like I suggested, (you don't *have to*, it is only a suggestion) you will see that he has just added a few new bonuses.

If you don't know what I am talking about, go here:

http://ideabox.TheSecondTier.com/zoobie

Two lessons we can learn here:

1) Consumers are getting jaded and expect more. What are we to do? Answer the call by adding more value. MUCH more value, in some cases. But the catch is, they don't have to be YOUR bonuses!

Russell is getting other people to provide bonuses for people who buy his product. This is a winwin for Russell, because he gets a free bonus to advertise. It is a winwin for the person providing the bonus, because they get to "Piggyback" on Russell's marketing. If you hear the audio or watch their video or read their ebook, chances are you will like their information and will actually pay for their stuff next time it is offered.

So, what is the takeaway here? who is in your industry or a complimentary industry that you can offer their goods or services as a "bonus" to your clients? Think creatively and make Joint Ventures with other businesses in your area. Video store & Pizza place. Hair Salon & Bridal gown place. Florist and candy shop. the possibilities are endless.

2) Remember what I said about Russell raising prices and I got something for $20 that he now sells for $200? Well, now he is giving it away now! The latest bonus he is offering is the "12 month millionaire." Great information if you are doing any kind of direct marketing.

He will probably offer it as a series of mp3 downloads. I have listened to all 6 hours 6 or 7 times through. Really great information.

You can download it for free if you sign up for Russell's program here:

And you only pay shipping and handling.

See what I mean about adding value?

Do you suck at making money?

I'll make this quick. I am sending this out to people I have been writing to lately and wanted to let you know too. This offer is only good this week, so if it sounds good to you, you should act soon.

A good friend of mine is giving away great information. His name is Russell Brunson and you might have heard me talk about him in my seminars. He is a great guy and really knows his marketing.

He is *giving away* his newest product. I just finished ordering it and had to tell you about it. Here is the link:

http://ideabox.TheSecondTier.com/zoobie

Russell's information about marketing your products and services on the internet is second to none and this package you don't have to pay for. He says he will raise the price to $200 after this week. (And believe me, he will. I once bought a package for $20 that he is now selling for $300!)

There is a catch though (you're saying "I knew it! right?) He gives you a couple free weeks of his monthly newsletter, and if you like it, he will charge you to continue your subscription. However, when you order, you can actually opt out of it. That is rare.

I subscribe to his newsletter and that is where I learn a bunch of my Internet marketing tips and tricks. Good stuff. AND you get it for $10 less than I am paying. Hmmm, I'm going to have to ask him about that...

He also tries to share other fabulous packages with you, but you don't have to buy.

Please watch his process and learn from it. Watching one of Russell's campaigns is like taking a class on internet marketing.

Sorry. This email got kinda long. Take care,

Traffic Geyser is AWESOME!!

Traffic Geyser is AWESOME. Oops, did I already say that?

I joined traffic geyser a month ago and didn't do anything with it, so finally, today (after they billed me) I decided to send a few videos out.

For those of you who don't know, Traffic Geyser is a video sharing platform where you can upload your video once and send it out to over 20 different video, podcast, blogs, and bookmarking sites. Very Cool.

I posted two videos from a product launch I am working on and they were posted to 15 sites AND launched an RSS feed. I was amazed at how well it worked.

It posted my video or the audio or a link (depending on what kind of site it was sent to) to all these sites and more:

It took a while to set up so I think it would be worth it to offer this "posting" as a service to people who have more money than time. Let me know if you are interested.

One of the videos on one of the sites was viewed 23 times in like 3 hours. Wow.

Online video for search engine rankings

Shaun here.

Online video (youtube, metacafe, etc) shows up really high in the search engine rankings.

We are getting really excited about online video and the possibilities it provides. We recently posted a video on YouTube.com for a client. It got 150 views in 2 weeks with no other promotion! It has had over 600 views to date.

You can have a link to the web site in the description and the videos are also posted on the web site which makes it "stickier" and more fun to visit.

The videos don't have to be fancy. They can be of you sitting at your desk. No big deal.

Let us know if we can help. We have done a few for our customers.

Here are some examples:

One we did for Mike at http://www.fivestarpowdercoating.com

We did a whole series of training videos in conjunction with the Mission Inn Foundation for Greg at http://www.pro-fitness-health

Take care and have fun marketing!
