It is time now to talk about the unthinkable.
I get incredibly sad when I see our adored leaders talking about how they can destroy the human race by pushing a couple of buttons.
Yesterday I saw TV commentators show on a big map how Iran's missiles cannot reach the US but exactly how the Russian missiles would land on their targets in the US. They should be screaming about it, not just talking about it. You should be so pissed off that you would take extreme actions to avoid it.
But we don't. We sit on our hands. We try to comfort ourselves by saying "They would never resort to that."
Where there is smoke there is fire and brimstone when it comes to nuclear warfare. Throughout history, humans have used the weapon toys they built, all of them. Our dear and beloved USA used TWO nukes. Correction, our leaders did that. We applauded while our Japanese brothers and sisters had their skin melted.
These people, the leaders, MUST be put in their place, IMMEDIATELY. We MUST learn to control them, QUICKLY. We cannot sit back on our hands and shrug. All is at stake. Everything.
And we are talking about McCain and Obama? Abortion? Environment? Energy?
Our thoughts are misplaced.
Don't think it can't happen. People do not understand how the old "Cold War" almost destroyed the planet. We came so close in the Cuban Missile Crises. SO CLOSE to extinction.
If it did there would be no "I told you so's" to shake our fingers with. There would be no people with fingers to do it. Our children and grandchildren would be ashes.
Is this depressing? It should be. Depressing thoughts are a drag. Most people deny it can or will happen. Most people shrug.
Stop shrugging!
I actually cried when I watched this video thinking that all beautiful things that exist on this earth, including human creations like the music, could evaporate overnight.

A Google Map car getting a ticket
People ask me how I find the weird stuff on the Internet.
Well, I found this picture of one of the Google Map cars getting a ticket from the local police is on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/damianspain/sets/72157605643949010/
I found the Flickr picture on this interesting site called Streetviewr.
I found Streetviewr on a very cool and addictive website called EPIC FU.
I found EPIC FU when I was thinning out the people I was following. I came across @Zadi who is the star of EPIC FU. When I saw she had 5,900 followers and that she is following only 450 or so I figured I'd better take a look at her website. Glad I did. And, no, I did not UNfollow Zodi.
The Internet provides strange journeys. One of the reasons I love it.

Fossil Fuels Beer
.
.
This is a local news story in my area. Let's see. How can I relate this to marketing? A press release for Fossil Fuels Beer.
Any suggestions?

Professor brews beer with 45-million-year-old yeast
Cal Poly professor emeritus Raul Cano and colleagues recently unveiled Fossil Fuels Beer, a unique beverage that uses ancient yeast as a key ingredient, at Kelley Brothers Brewing in Manteca.
In 1995, Cano reported in Science magazine that he’d extracted living bacterium from a bee entombed in amber 25 million to 45 million years ago.
His research was a key inspiration for the “Jurassic Park” books and movies.
Now more than a decade later, research by the microbiologist and director of Cal Poly’s Environmental Biotechnology Institute is playing a key role in an entirely unique venture — brewing beer from prehistoric yeast plucked from ancient amber samples.
The fungus, originally considered a nuisance in Cano’s laboratory, is now the “star athlete” of Fossil Fuels Brewing, said a Cal Poly spokesman. The firm’s motto is “Bringing Good Things Back to Life.”
“Why waste good waste?” Cano said. “I’m hoping to use profits from beer sales to fund biofuels research at Cal Poly’s EBI. The wastewater from beer production has a great deal of energy, therefore, potential to be reclaimed as biofuel.”

"SPAM" disguised
You visit a website. On the side you see a link for something or another that you think may be interesting to know about. You fill out the info with your email address included. You may not know it but you are now on their email list.
Internet marketing people use this technique all of the time. They offer something of perceived value (usually an ebook) so you click the link. You then find yourself on a page that has a short form on it, usually just asking for your name and email address though there could be other fields to fill out. You put in your first name and your email address.
In the inernet marketing industry you have landed on a "squeeze page". It is named that because they will "squeeze" your email address from you. This is also called a "landing page."
Whatever they call it I bet many newbies and even experienced web surfers will not be prepared to be put on a mailing list. You will often see a message from the website owner as soon as you refresh your email client. If it says "You need to click this link to receive further messages from us" then you are in the "double opt-in system" provided by the website's "autoresponder" system.
The double opt-in protects you from being spammed after someone puts your email address into the system from the website as a joke or if they just despise you. ;P It also protects the website owner to some degree from accusations of spamming though people can always complain and, unfortunately, some hosts will automatically suspend your account no matter what if they suspect are spamming. At least the owner sould be able to point to the fact that you signed up for the messages.
Autoresponders are very cool and valuable assets for just about any website.
But here is my problem. Not all systems are set up for the double opt in technique. I am seeing a growing trend of website owners not taking the double opt-in route. This is disturbing.
Today I saw a form that said I would be entered into a drawing for a prize from the site's sponsors. I am not sure who were the sponsors (ebook purveyors?) but I wanted to see if I would be sent a double opt-in message.
I was not.
I did contact the owner and asked if I would be on their email list. I received an immediate response that I would get messages but that I could easily opt out.
That's not enough in my book. I think all websites must employ the double opt-in method or be subject to fines like any other spammers. Like I said earlier, I am not against autoresponders and I use them for my own websites.
We have a right to insist that we fully understand that we will be getting advertisments dumped into our email boxes before we hand over our email address.
It's also good business for the website owner. Disrespecting people will often result in a severe case of assbiteitis.

Have patience, will succeed
In his latest blog, Seth Godin says, "I discovered a lucky secret the hard way about thirty years ago: you can outlast the other guys if you try. If you stick at stuff that bores them, it accrues. Drip, drip, drip you win."
How very true on the web and in real life. We get quick results on the web, almost instant recognition using Web 2.0 tactics. It doesn't take long to raise expectations and then to dash them when what you do does not take hold to create solid satisfaction.
"The trap: Show up at a new social network, invest two hours, be really aggressive with people, make some noise and then leave in disgust."
Right on, Seth.
In real life, my daughter, Liana, has been performing at local clubs in LA for over three years. She works for pennies (at best). Her efforts resulted in building a local following who show up to root her on from week to week at various bars in the vast city. She adds new songs to her routine regularly and posts them on her MySpace page.
Liana's persistence and hard work may pay new dividends soon. She was contacted by a movie producer who wants to use a song or two in an upcoming movie in 2009.
Hang in there. Good things can and do happen if you stir into the mix your talents, patience and especially hard work.

Lessons from my local insurance man
Yesterday I spent some time on the phone with my insurance agent. Let's get this right.
I CALLED HIM!
He is Steve Weber in Paso Robles, CA. When we moved out here almost a year ago, I needed to change agents. I heard a commercial of Steve's on the radio while driving around Paso Robles learning about the area. Since I was on the lookout to get a new agent my ears perked up.
Long story short: I got along well with Steve at our first appointment and I became a client. He was very professional in our discussion and showed me that he cared about my financial well being. Since then I've met with Steve in other business presentations and at civic meetings in town.
When I called him yesterday, I quizzed Steve about what works and what doesn't work for him in advertising.
The best results he gets are:
1. the big sign in front of his business that is on a main artery in town
2. yellow pages
3. radio ads
Steve has good Internet presence but he feels that does not generate many new clients. Not many people get an insurance quote from his website.
People are using the Internet to uncover information they can use to make decisions but in my experience they are not buying from the small business websites.
Some reasons?
1. They are not ready to buy when they get to your website. They just want information.
2. Your sales copy needs work
3. You, the business owner, did not get the email address to communicate with the website visitor in the future, hopefully at a time when they ARE ready to buy.
I will talk about list building for the small business owner in another issue of this blog.
See you next time!

Networking - can you define it?
What exactly is "network marketing"? It's a bit hard to define.
The new marketers are attached to the Internet as though by an umbilical cord. We are the baby in that scenario and the Internet feeds us, gives us sustenance.
I hate to burst your bubble, young guns, but network marketing was popular before the Internet was a glint in Al Gore's eye. (joke, or is it?) Some people think of the days before the Internet as Neanderthal style existence. It's a little like black and white movies that my kids would not be caught dead watching.
May I be so bold to suggest that you can learn a hell of a lot from older folks like, well, me! At least I can offer my perspectives. Hint: not everyone in the 1960's was a hippy. In fact, almost all of them were not hippies.
Does the Internet give us all we need to survive and prosper as a marketer? I don't think so. In my opinion, we need to do a lot of self-study to bolster what we learn reading stuff through a monitor. We need to visit our library. There are plenty of books on networking these days at your local library. It's a hot topic. Know what? You can learn things in books that are not on websites. No kidding.
More than that, I think we need more real human contact. This can be done on the phone if not at parties and chamber of commerce meetings. We need to stop text messaging so much and actually calling people on the phone more.
To that end I am asking people to call me. Often they will call because they have something to sell. Perhaps they think I may buy their service or at least tell someone else about it. And that is OK. I want to hear about what they do and the product they offer.
What I don't want is for the caller to jump into his or her sales pitch, their elevator speech if you will. I want to spend a little time finding out about their lifestyle. Married or single? How many kids? Favorite sport or hobby? Once we establish a rapport it might be possible to grow that relationship into something more powerful.
Here is a great question you can use on or offline. I found it through Christine Lewick who is a business and life coach. She has clients around the world.
The question she poses at offline network meetings is this: “Can you describe your ideal client so when I recognize her I can send her to you?"
That is a very powerful question. It tells the person you met that you are interested in helping him or her. That is your first concern. Implied in the question is that you could use his help as well. What an extraordinary way to get acquainted!

Audio interview of Problogger's Darren Rowes
Nothing good happens fast. That applies to everyone.
Listen to an hour long interview with Darren Rowes. You will learn a ton about what a big time blogger did to become successful. It did not happen overnight. Darren's journey was full time from the get-go. He committed himself and is rewarded handsomely.

Darren has a video posted this week: How to Make Your Blog More Personal
I am learning that in order to build up a following your web copy needs an emphasis on what helps solve a challenge. You need to speak TO the reader, not AT the reader. Your copy needs to address the USER not yourself.
You also need to speak from your personal experience. Your readers can tell the difference no matter how much you try to bluff it. Don't bluff it. Give a piece of yourself. Good web copy takes big effort and often some pain. If you write something fast and it looks good, save it and come back to it for a second look an hour later.
Be unique and fresh.

Marketing spam
A guy went up to the office of Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley (the father).
Daley says, "Who sent you?"
Guy says, "Nobody."
Daley says, "We don't want nobody nobody sent!"
This applies to internet marketing email too.
If all that you send to your list are greedy "buy this" messages then you are SPAMMING too.

Twitter Dictionary
Yesterday someone said, "See you later, Tweeps!" I think that one is especially good. It has a magnificent ring to it. I assume it means "Twitter people".
New tool: http://twitter.slawcup.com - you type in a user's name (handle) and it returns the words that user uses in descending order of frequency, not sure of the value here.
illtwitterate
Twittering
When I visit blogs I see more and more words that I may have seen but don't understand, like:
collaborative
social media (this one could mean so many things)
Qwitter - quit smoking
Politweets - When Twitter gets political
Twubble can help expand your Twitter bubble—it searches your friend graph and picks out people who you may like to follow.
Twitties - hmmmm
twitollowers - I made that up
Twittonary - the Twitter dictionary - http://twittonary.com/
One more Twitter dictionary: http://twictionary.pbwiki.com/
tweetheart (I like that one)
twacklist (twitter blacklist)
tweeotches twitter + beotches
See? It's already been done but it grows by the second.

Jack Humphrey's "Top 142 Social Marketing Blogs on the Web"
I don't know him personally but I like and admire Jack Humphrey. He is an expert on internet marketing.
Recently he published "Top 142 Social Marketing Blogs on the Web" and then he explained why he put this list together on his radio show that broadcasts on Fridays. The point about the "Top 142" is that he put up hotlinks to all 142 blogs. Jack is not afraid to link out from his blog. More importantly he suggests that we all do more of it.
I agree. The more good info we give YOU, our readers, the more readers we will get. It works that way. You are not losing ground, you are gaining ground by posting good links.
For myself, I will visit each and every one of the Top 142. I want to see what they offer. I want to learn more about Interent marketing through blogging. A lot of other people I talk to also want to be successful bloggers. Not so many will pursue it with vigor. That is actually good for the ones that do.
Less competition. ;P

The 4 Hour Work Week
Today I came across a an interesting blog by Tim Ferris. I never heard his name before so I was a little taken aback by his attitude about Twitter.
Tim says about Twitter, "I don't follow anyone on Twitter. To some, this is sacrilege."
I checked his stats page. Sure enough, Tim follows no one. Yet he has 3,857 followers.
Tim continues, "Imagine that you send an email to 10 people inviting them to a party, but you BCC 100 more casual friends who are uninvited. How will those 100 feel? Offended and somewhat resentful, just as I would."
I thought his attitude was quite haughty until I learned more about the man.
Tim wrote a book called "The Four Hour Work Week". You can buy it at amazon for about 12 bucks. I noticed on Amazon that "others who bought this item also bought" Seth Godin's "The Dip." The puzzle pieces are coming together. Tim is a successful author if scores of people selling his book as affiliates of Amazon is any indication.
His book is mainly about how to outsource as much as possible in your business life so that you have more time for other activities.
I found an interview with Tim by Scott Allen on About.com. Here Tim describes how he got caught up in the "overwork ethic" as a salesman for a Silicon Valley company. He was working 80 hours a week. That company went belly up in the 2001 dot bomb debacle. Tim moved on to "pharmaceutical design." A couple of years later he was making very good money at a sports nutrition company. But he felt dissatisfied with the long hours.
Tim started his own company and traveled to 20 countries. He started making more money and working fewer hours. This discovery led to the writing of "The 4 Hour Work Week." Apparently Tim made enough money not to be concerned with mundane activity like following other people.
One of Tim's post on his Twitter page is "Just bumped into Paul McCartney in an Amagansett coffee shop. He was playing a harmonica for a baby in a stroller. How cool is that? "

Animoto video software
Check out an interesting new online video-maker: http://www.animoto.com
My son churned this one out in a very short time just by assembling some pictures and using his own music. That's what he does. He writes music. Need some? Noah Cryns. Contact me if you want a quote for your next video.
Here is his short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6mfSMj5jMo
Here is one I made for my chihuahua website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAl2easrG7Q
You can find the full version of the music, "Big Chihuahua" on my site at the top of the main page: http://www.gochihuahua.com
So, there is no longer an excuse for at least trying your hand at making a video for your business.
Do it. The time is now. Don' wait. It's a video world.

I joined Merchant Circle recently. Pete Johnson, one of our local car dealers, sent me an email today with this picture in it.
Pete does not know me from Adam, but he sure did get my attention.
Maybe the $25.00 off is supposed to be funny? I don't know. But when he sends the next email I will open it.
See, sending out coupons like this can make us drool for more. I also get a message from Walgreen's and Staples about once a week. They are also hip to the new advertising.
