What is Life?

I‘ve had this tune from the early 80′s  rollin’ around my “world” for the last couple of weeks. It’s been in my head… in my car, on my computer, my smartphone. It’s a reggae tune, done by a Jamaican band called “Black Uhuru”. It was the combination of the driving rhythm section of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare that made the music work at the time… and it still sounds great all these years later. (btw… If you like reggae and by some strange chance you haven’t heard it, it’s a really cool tune – here’s a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg9SYIkwzNg)

But it’s the lyrics behind the music that kept it spinning in my world… it’s called

“What is Life?”

What is life? Life is a spell
What is life? No one can tell
What is life? I try to see
What is life? It’s looking bleak

They control the treasure of our birthright
And to survive we have to struggle and fight
The present confrontation of our mind
The flexibility of our vision

What is life? I try to see
What is life? It’s unity
What is life? I try to feel
What is life? It’s really real

Everyone say they are not excited
While our vineyard exploited
African woman hold me close to you
Help me to find don’t get separated

What is life? Life is a treat
What is life? Nothing but cheat
What is life? Life is a test
What is life? Some man Jah bless

They control the pleasure of our birthright
And to survive we have to struggle and fight
The present confrontation of our mind
The flexibility of our vision

I‘m not about to dispute the author’s words, because that’s HIS experience! However, what I DO BELIEVE is that in every moment, we are creating that experience… good, bad, or indifferent.

We face all kinds of lessons throughout our lifetime and how we respond to them will dictate the existence we have. We can have struggle and strife… and think God, or the Universe “has it in for us”. We could also look upon whatever we’ve just experienced as a lesson from the universe to be understood.

How do you tell the difference? How can you change your perceptions? You’ve probably tried a couple of techniques, or programs and still not achieved the success you’d hoped for.

There is ANOTHER Way!

How To Get Youtube Comments

You probably already know that Youtube can be a powerful marketing tool when used correctly. Getting comments on your videos can be a great way to generate more traffic for a Youtube video. If there’s a discussion going on in the comments, people will be more likely to keep coming back to that video in order to participate in the conversation. If people keep visiting a video and commenting on it, that video is going to show up higher in Youtube search results. There are a few simple things you can do to encourage commenting on your videos.

You may already be doing this one, but be sure to put your Youtube videos on your own site. Each visitor you get that watches that video counts as a view for that video, and as a video gets more views it will begin to show up higher in search results. It’s also likely that some of your visitors will hop onto Youtube and leave a comment on your video.

If you do any email marketing, be sure to send out your videos to your subscribers. It’s always a good idea to give your subscribers high quality content whenever you can, rather than just selling to them all the time. By sending them your Youtube videos, you’re giving your subscribers something interesting, and generating views and comments for your Youtube videos at the same time.

It’s a good idea to promote your video on social networks. If you have a Facebook page, or a Twitter account, be sure to post your video to it. Your Facebook fans and Twitter followers will be likely to watch, and comment on your videos. If they’re a fan on one social media site, chances are they’ll become a fan on another.

It’s also a good idea to mention commenting in the video itself. At the end of the video, post a note that says something along the lines of “thanks for watching, don’t forget to leave a comment!” By reminding your viewers to comment, you’re sure to generate at least a few comments you wouldn’t have gotten anyway.

By spreading your video around, and reminding your users to comment, you can build a discussion around your video. Videos with active discussions in the comments often get more views than others, and high traffic videos show up higher in Youtube searches. Keep these tips in mind, and your videos will start getting comments, and traffic in no time.

Using Youtube To Generate Traffic For Your Site

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past ten years, you have probably heard of Youtube. Youtube is the biggest video sharing site on the internet today, and it gets a tremendous amount of traffic every day. Having a presence on Youtube can help your business and it’s website greatly.

Just uploading some videos to Youtube is a great start to getting some traffic. If your videos are entertaining, or informative, people will find them, and watch them. Every time someone sees one of your videos, they’ll be esposed to your brand, and your products. If they enjoyed the video, they’ll remember your company, and they may even seek out your website on their own. Having videos on Youtube can generate some traffic for your site, but if you do the right things with those videos, you can generate even more.

Be sure to include your site’s URL at least once in each video you upload. Consider putting it at the beginning, the end, or both. It’s also a good idea to add the URL to the video’s description. That way, everyone that sees the video will know where to go to find out more about your company, and your products.Remember, they can’t find you if they don’t know where to look.

It’s also extremely important to encourage your viewers to subscribe to your Youtube channel. Be sure to mention it at the end of each video, and maybe even in the video’s description. Each person that subscribes to your Youtube channel will be notified when you upload new videos. Each one of your videos that your viewers watch is another reminder about your products and your company.

Youtube is extremely popular. Each of the tips above relies on one simple qualifier: your content has to be good. If you upload a boring, or uninformative video, it just won’t get a lot of views. As long as your viewers can find some value in the videos you’re uploading, you’ll be able to use Youtube as an effective marketing tool. Try to make your viewers laugh, or to really make them think. If your content is good, and you remember to link to your site in each video, you’ll see all the benefits Youtube has to offer in no time.

Build Brand Awareness With New Media

Social networking and new media sites can be powerful tools for building, and maintaining brand awareness when used correctly. It can also help you to build a relationship with your users in a more personal way. Be careful though. If you use new media sites in the wrong ways, you can actually have the opposite effect on your brand.

The number one goal whenever you engage your customers through a new media site like Facebook or Twitter should be to build trust with them. Talk directly to your customers, and engage them in a discussion. As you talk with your customers, they will develop a positive opinion of your actions. Even if they don’t love everything you have to say, they’ll appreciate the fact that you’re talking one-to-one with them.

Frank Ellison is a perfect example of how you can build trust with your customers through social networking, and new media. Ellison works for Comcast, and about two years back, he took it upon himself to set up a twitter account, and start talking directly to Comcast customers who were complaining about Comcast on Twitter. In doing so, Ellison helped to improve Comcast’s image as a company that takes care of its customers.

New media can also be a powerful tool for a company that’s just starting out. If your company is new, or just small, using new media can help you grow your brand in some significant ways. Consider starting a Youtube channel where you show your customers how to use your products, or start a podcast where you answer user’s questions on the show. Keep your content entertaining, honest, and informative, and you’ll begin growing brand awareness quickly.

If you’re thinking of using new media to help build your brand, keep these two things in mind; be honest with your customers,and try to engage them in a conversation. If you try to lie to, or otherwise deceive your customers through new media, sooner or later the truth will come out. Nothing can ever be wiped completely off of the internet, and if your customers find out you’ve been lying to them, they’ll spread their negative views of your brand to everyone they know.

Engaging your customers is just as important as being honest with them. If your Youtube channel is loaded with commercials for your product and nothing else, your customers will ignore it. People don’t use new media sites to be advertised to, they use them to connect with other people. If you give them that sense of connection, they’ll be more likely to pay attention to you and your brand.

Whether your company is large or small, you can use new media to connect with your customers, and build brand awareness. Be clear about your message, be honest with your customers, and engage them in a discussion, and you can make new media work for you.
