I just received notification that Ring Central has added “call recording” as a new feature. This is perfect for teleseminar folk seeking a backup recording method. I’ve use Ring Central as my primary phone service for a few years now. I get an 800 number, call forwarding to my other phones, faxing, etc, for only $15 a month. It’s been simple to use, maintenance free, and I can manage it all via the web. ~ Dan

A couple of years ago I began lending money to “working poor” entrepreneurs through Kiva.org. I used the Kiva “micro lending” platform as a tool to teach my son Jaxon about charity, geography and entrepreneurism, by letting him pick the individuals we help.

Recently I had an idea on taking the “lesson” to the next level by promoting Kiva with others via social media (his first lesson in “viral marketing”!). So far Jaxon’s video has been view 1,000 times on YouTube and other video sharing sites. Enjoy …

Product Review: Traffic Geyser

I enjoy attending Internet Marketing seminars, but I rarely buy products sold from the "platform". But last year I jumped on "Traffic Geyser" when it debuted at JV Alert Live!, in San Diego, because I knew that web video was coming hard and fast and I wanted to be on the engine (not the caboose) of this marketing trend.

Just recently I began to explore the potential of this do-it-yourself tool by using it to promote my custom MP3 player and promotional product businesses.

In a nutshell, Traffic Geyser is an automated tool for submitting your promotional videos to the leading user-generated video sites, in far less time and effort than you could do so one-by-one.

Let’s explore the claims by the creators of Traffic Geyser, along with my personal experience, thus far:

Claim #1. "No video camera, no problem!’

Make videos without a camera??? It’s true … all you need are some images and soundtrack (voice-over or music) and Traffic Geyser’s online tools can help you create a rolling slide show to tell your story. And they also provide an easy tool for adding your voice-over audio.

Claim #2. " Traffic Geyser Is Push-Button Simple .. incredibly easy to use."

I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s "incredibly easy" .. but i’t not very hard. If you follow the instructions and invest the time to set up a membership with each video site, you’ll have a templatized system that will save you hours of time on future submissions.

Claim #3. "It’s Free to Get Traffic with Video."

This is true. Submitting to the video sites has increased eyeballs to my site in two ways; 1) The people who find my videos directly via YouTube, Google Video, or one of the other video sites, and 2) The search engines love video. After just a couple of days, I found that many of my videos were listed on the first few pages of Google for some of my desired search terms.

The best thing about marketing with video is that most of your competitors will not go near it, as the fear of the technology will keep them dependent on their conventional marketing strategies.
