One hand on the wheel. One hand on the Flip.Please do not pay attention to the fact that I sound like I swallowed a frog, PLEASE focus on the directive.
Here is the plan – FOLLOW EACH STEP!:
1. Approach others in your niche – yes… competitors!!2. Tell them that they ROCK!
3. Tell other people that those competitors ROCK!
4. Start to mean it. You probably do, but ALLOW yourself to mean it.
5. People respond to good will!
6. Now they will LOVE You too!
7. JV with them and Make lots of Money!
G-d says do ‘good’ things even if you don’t want to…. eventually, without even noticing it, you will be a better person and do it without planning.
There is a missing step here. If you do all of the above without the missing piece, you will probably figure it out on your own, it may happen naturally. I just can’t reveal this secret ingredient yet since even though I am doing it naturally, it isn’t my secret to share. I mentioned in one of my recent posts about an offline marketer who has completely changed the landscape of how I view and approach success. It is his to share when and how he decides. He is working on putting it together and YOU will be blown away!
Watch this video and then TELL me HERE whom you ADMIRE, and WHY. Go ahead. It’s FREE!

NOTE: This will make more sense after reading and watching… But can you call something ‘regret’ when you regret it before you actually DO IT? Thats how I felt about publishing this post.I am such a dork!
Here is the GOOD:
A:
Even though they only allow editing to be from the start or finish of a clip, you can create a bunch of ‘mini clips’ from one main clip and shave off the parts you don’t want.
B:
If you don’t go crazy about quality or editing, then it REALLY is easy. For those who are concerned, I have a few more Flip vids half complete, but I think I will move on to something better to be taken seriously.
Here is the BAD:
A.
When you create a movie mix, it will create the movie in order of clips created. So if you would like a section from your first video shot to be AFTER a section from your second video, then you need to EDIT them in order that you want them saved. Once saved, if you select them to create a single movie file, it will just create the order based on the order in which it was edited.
B.
They fade out more than I expected. I shaved off sections I was editing, and expected one part of a sentence to pick up with another. You miss a few seconds of material, forcing me to go back and start all over as my video then made little sense. Starting all over meant starting ALL over – not just that section, due to what I mentioned in A) above. The last word of the video is cut off! blah.
C.
When I collected too many segments from videos to create one movie mix, the FLIP software was just incapable of delivering me a normal complete product. I sounded like an actual MAN in certain parts, since it put my voice in slow motion. There are sections here that I sound different, but I just got sick of editing it, and I wanted this to be a fair representation of my FLIP education.
I did, however, edit a few sections, and was forced to remove some witty lines I put in, since I am ok with not sounding great, but way too vain to sound like a MAN.D.
The Video quality is just not that great. My much cheaper digital cameras way outperforms. This is like the video quality from my elementary school home videos. How is this such a HOT product??
Lessons Learned (ME + YOU):
1.
Practice doesnt make perfect – with an imperfect product, but I will only get better because I am DOING IT. Make it happen people.
2.
I got totally whipped by a 20 year old (Esther in the video). What do you think?
3.
I have been collecting some Fantastic business building information from an OFFLINE marketing genius. I will try to unroll some of his insights as is relevant, but my very short 2nd video about negative publicity will be like a whole chapter in the book. It’s just that powerful.

I went to Tel Aviv topick up my goodies
I turned on one of my new toys – A Flip camcorder! (Thank you Jeff Walker) – and below is my first offer. Following recording, I plugged the Flip into the USB of my computer, selected share, clicked on youtube icon, put it my username / password.. and then upload. About 2 minutes later, the video was live on Youtube, and again, I am embedding it here for your viewing pleasure.
Total time from start to finish = 10 minutes
Total cost to shoot video
=
$107 (Flip + shipping to bro in L.A)
$200 (Dinner)My video work usually requires a lot of editing, (as it does here as well), which IS possible with the included FLIP software (the software that immediately starts up after plugging in the USB), but I wanted this first video to be an experiment in:
EFFICIENT
EASE OF USE
NO EXCUSES – ‘You too can make videos’video creation – what the FLIP purports to be all about.
UPDATE:
Wow.. just read instructions. You CANNOT edit a video in the middle. Only snip off the start and end. NOT COOL Flip! How many people don’t umm and ahh and say ridiculously off topic silly stuff (or perhaps pick their teeth) halfway through???
oh well. Looks like I got to work on getting better. Or Caring Less.
Thank you to my costars Jaron & Ashley.
Watch, Learn and Earn or your money BACK! (hahaha - it's 100% FREE!!)
