Jerry the EbizGuy and Coach Steve talked about viral marketing on “Virtual Superstars.” Viral marketing includes advertisements disguised as short, interesting vignettes about a product, person or service. Several factors must be taken into account before an advertisement can be classified in the category. First the advertisement must be short, about a minute or less. Also, it isn’t made for television, but is designed for web sites such as YouTube. It should be so interesting or controversial or funny or unusual that it incites the viewer to get others to watch it. “Viral marketing should promote something and offer really good tips about it. It should be funny or interesting enough so that people want to share it with their friends,” Jerry said.
Jerry talked about several well-known viral ads being viewed on the Internet currently. One of them was a blender commercial. The ad runs various items through a blender to see if they can be destroyed, pureed or otherwise beat to smithereens. The other viral commercial Jerry identified was one involving Diet Coke and Mentos candy. You can find both at YouTube for examples of viral marketing as well as many others. The common thread is the humor and the odd use of the products.
“Making a viral ad is very difficult,” Jerry said, as was proven on the April 5th airing of the television show, “The Apprentice,” with Donald Trump. Two teams were assigned to create a viral ad for a concentrated laundry detergent called, “All - Small and Mighty.” The best ad would be posted on YouTube and would be declared the winner. Jerry pointed out that the customer, the All Detergent Executives, wanted a commercial to promote their product that wasn’t offensive since they are family-oriented, but the consumer doesn’t want to watch commercials, so finding an appealing balance that satisfies everyone can be challenging. The ad for the detergent was supposed to be creative and meet the specific criteria for viral marketing. After the two “Apprentice” teams had completed their version of the viral ad, the detergent executives deemed both teams’ ads to be failures and declared that there was no winner. One ad was considered unappealing and pointless. The other was called offensive for it’s four-letter word usage and for referring to Little People as midgets.
Real Coaching Radio Network has encouraged its radio show hosts to make some funny videos. It’s important to create interesting content. The production must be good quality. Jerry suggested in the making of a successful viral video it might be worthwhile to consult an expert and invest a little more into it because of its challanging factor.
The message from host Coach Steve on the Virtual Superstars Show” is, “Real Coaching Radio is about being in action.” The network is growing with the addition of an on-line coaching alliance program. “We’re not talking about it anymore,” he said, “we’re going to do it. It’s time to step up and support one another.” Co-host, Paul -- Podcasting101 agreed -- “It’s one thing to know the right thing to do and know how to act, it’s another to walk the talk,” he said.
Coach Steve said that it was ok if you don’t walk the talk, but to at least be authentic about it. “We all do it. We let ourselves off the hook, but in this new coaching community, that isn’t going to happen much.” Coach Steve said that people want to be supported. This new coaching system opens a new opportunity. “In making a commitment to the community, you get assistance,” he said, adding that, “even if you ask for the wrong thing, it’s ok. You go on and keep asking until you get it right.
”The coaching industry, in general, doesn’t always live up to the standards they are teaching, according to Paul. Coach Steve added that coaches sometimes sugar-coat things with good conversation and by talking down to listeners and clients. Real Coaching Radio cannot be part of that. “It doesn’t fit,” he said. If a coach does that on this network they will either leave on their own or be assisted out the door, even though we will still be friends. “We can’t fool anybody except ourselves. Most people will know where you stand,” he said.
Being in action means taking advantage of opportunities, bonding with others and staying connected. The internet is a powerful tool, but email and tweeting isn’t always enough. Social broadcasting is about getting out there and meeting people -- pick up the phone, meet in person when possible. “There are times when issues cannot be resolved by email,” Coach Steve said.
One web site that extends the person-to-person connection is Dating Club Live. A Twitter party is planned for April 3rd. Coach Steve invites all singles who want to learn how to get on the dating scene again to join in and discover how much fun dating can be by using a new tool Twitter.
Finally the hosts shared some marketing tips. They encouraged people who have products and services to sell, write blogs, make videos, create podcasts and stay in action. “The more content you have on the Internet, the more your potential grows,” Paul said. Coach Steve reminded people to get into their passion and start part time if they have other responsibilities. “Put your TV time toward your passion and before long, you’ve built a full-time business. On the Internet it isn’t about how much time you have. It’s about action.”
On July 15th 2007, we were looking for some brave Realtors, Mortgage Brokers or anyone in the real estate and finance industry who wanted to participate in our new show "The Healing of the Finance & Mortgage Industry in America".
We had a number of brave participants; Bill Nazur-Mortgage Banker, Todd Clark-Realtor, John Occhi, Hemet CA, Realtor, Mission Grove Realty, Paul McFadden, Mortgage Broker, Jennifer Graves-Realtor, Adam Waldman-Realtor. Then after just eight episodes we have run out of things to say, the industry stopped participating most everyone was in denial that there was a problem. Most everyone put their head in the sand and today we all understand where we are.
So I have declared my own breakdown about not getting the results I have expected with this project and on Thursday, 4th of October 2007, Real Coaching Radio Network began a transition from the "The Healing of the Real Estate & Mortgage Industry in America" show to it's new format about Coaching & Personal Development and the Mind-Body & Soul International Broadcasts and expanding to the seven principle areas of Life Balance-Health, Finances, Relationships, Personal Growth, Environment, Career and Spirituality.
We are attracting celebrity Guests on our network like: John Assaraf from "The Secret", Gay & Katie Hendricks, Rick Fishman, Kim Taylor Reece, Anthony Salvi, David Icke, Alex Mandossian, Bob Doyle, Dr Joan Borysenko, Michael Wickett, Byron Katie, Dr Theresa Szczurek, Michael Russer just to mention a few.
I would like to acknowledge all the brave Realtors and mortgage brokers who assisted me on this journey without you none of what I have created today be possible and this includes ActiveRain-this is where it all has begun.
Social Media and Web 2.0 are bringing the world closer to all of us. Every day we are getting more and more connected. Personalization is becoming an obvious direction on the Internet. The Web is becoming more about individuals and their niche/mastery not about web-sites. We are all building relationships with people at an amazing pace.
This is like the Tsunami...and if your product, service or business isn't positioned in front of the waive and you don't have your surfboard sized correctly and maintained then you are going to be left behind.
There is a once in a lifetime opportunity here, where you can get a big competitive advantage and become the leading edge business to implement these new habits on the Internet. You, your product or service will become famous very quickly.
Social Marketing gives you the benefit of direct traffic from some of the highest trafficked sites like YouTube, Google, MySpace and Facebook, plus a big boost in the search engines, plus a new source of responsive prospects.
It's not about the search engines anymore or the conversions on your site. It's about Social Media Optimization (SMO).
It's one thing to put up a simple page on one of those sites I have mentioned above and it's a whole different ball of wax to build your business using these thousands of social media sites in a systematic and strategic way.
Once you engage the full power of these strategies you can generate nearly instant search engine rankings or drive big floods of traffic directly to your site.
We will show you the five most powerful Social Marketing Strategies that you can use or have someone else do for you to make you, your product or service famous on the Internet instantly.
According to Comscore, a highly trusted global Internet research company, in a typical month; just under 2/3rds of everyone who goes on line world wide web, visits MySpace, 29% of them visited Facebook, 35% of them visited YouTube and 27% of them visited Wikipedia. What is even more important to realize is that the number of active users for most of the social sites doubles every 6 month.
A lot of people think that it is too late to jump on those big name social media sites. They think that you needed to get on board months or years ago to have first mover advantage. Actually most marketers haven't even begun to understand how to use them, let alone achieve their true potential.
To get started there are three critical factors to consider before getting into specific strategies and tactics:
Critical Factor 1- Better Search Rankings
We can get you 2, 3 even 8 or 10 spots on the first page of search engine results for many of your key words. So now anyone who searches for those keywords has a huge probability of landing on one of your pages.
Critical Factor 2- Big Direct Traffic
Our Social Marketing campaign will drive big traffic directly to your site from the social media sites, and that's huge. Those social media sites have more traffic then Google. As we use the right strategies and tactics to put you in front of that traffic then you don't have to rely on Google to get traffic to your site. And you don't have to worry about expensive AdWords campaigns or other advertising. We are excited about social marketing and our proprietary technologies as we can spike your traffic fast and if you allow us to do it right you get long term search engine traffic too.
Critical Factor 3 - Higher Conversions
This is the final key ingredient. The fact that social marketing means huge flood of extra traffic you are going to get on your site is already Pre-Sold. You already have a relationship with them...and they are going to convert into customers at a rate you haven't seen before. People like to buy from people that they already know, like and trust.
By now I'm sure that you are ready to dive in and take advantage of the huge opportunity that social marketing presents. There are no secrets, there is just stuff you don't know yet. However you will have to wait until the next post comes out so get ready to know! We will present the five killer strategies in our next five posts that are specifically designed to rock your world.

Wow, can you believe the Fed riding in like the night on a white horse and throwing $200 Billion dollars at the credit markets trying to stave off a market crash. Whewwwww, it worked for all of 24 hours.
For all you surfers out there get your surf boards waxed up because not only is the surf up in the credit crisis ocean, but there is a Tsunami building and it is going to be huge! Everyone has been thinking that all this turmoil would roll past in a short period of time, but what they failed to take into account is that we are in a perfect economic storm here in the US and it is mostly, okay alllllll man made. What you say how could that be? I thought the credit crisis was over, what are you talking about?
As I said, the surf is up but we have only begun to see the long term effects of the credit crisis, and only 30% is even visible now. Drive down streets anywhere in America except for a few micro markets, and what do you see? For sale signs and for sale signs by the banks, house after house. Seriously take a drive thru different neighbor hoods and; you will see exactly what I am talking about. The number of homes falling into foreclosures, or short sales is not subsiding it is increasing! That means that the economic wave is still building and gaining strength. It seems that everyone thought that the credit crisis was going to be this little blip, and be done, oh contraire, the size and the magnitude of this economic tsunami have not been seen before in US history. Wow, that's right in US history, the long term economic effects are going to be deeper and longer lasting than the good old days we refer to as the "Great Depression" (by the way, what was so great about the depression) read more at www.davidharper.info
Let me hit a few high points of the current perfect economic storm; First, we have the "man made" credit crisis that occurs as American last fall was wallowing in a recession, and kicked us deeper into the mire. Secondly, we have consumer confidence at an all time low, spending today is dropping like a rock, but not because of the credit crisis because; thirdly, the cost of gasoline at the pumps is crushing the average American household, think about the impact of filling your tank, and each time it costs $60 to $80, this has chewed up any extra money people had to spend at Wal-Mart, its gone to the oil companies. So this week a new record, a barrel of oil surges over $107, and this is only greeted by great glee by the oil companies reporting record profits. Fourthly, the dollar isn't just floundering to other currencies it is getting hammered, losing ground on a daily basis and probably will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Now take all this into account and look at the poor American investor losing his hard earned pensions in the stock market and well known funds like Carlyle Capital bond fund going out of business and shutting the fund down.(Hmmm, I thought you couldn't lose all your money in a mutual fund, sorry)
So I could go on ranting and raving and I have only scratched the surface, but let's be really clear, the Tsunami is coming the wave is building, we are going to see much more on the sub prime credit crisis than you will ever want to in the coming months. So in conclusion, wax up your surf board even if you don't surf, because there is a huge economic tsunami building right now in your back yard, so you might as well enjoy the ride otherwise you will just be crushed into the bottom of the economic recession.

"Too often we hold opinions that are based upon no sounder foundation then that of what someone else believes" by Napoleon Hill
On the show we have discussed; what is tolerance? what causes intolerance?, what are the facts & reasons of our views about religion, politics, economy, philosophy, etc...? where did we acquire our philosophy about our lives? how can trace our prejudices & biases to their original source? what is social heredity? and much more...

On our last show, we had Jon Marple, attorney, business man, and inventor of Pogamoonga on Real Coaching Radio’s Only Nature's Finest Show.
He discussed the time spent recuperating from a heart attack and open heart surgery as time was abundant he read all the books he could on health and wellness. He had been an A type personality, but this illness really made him think twice about his future. If there was one. He decided to spend his life working to develop options which help other people looking for healthy choices. He knew pomegranate was a great choice to help with cardiac and health problems. But, with diabetes, the sugar content was too high. He decided to make a drink which contained pomegranate extract, aloe vera, and moringa, a “new” ingredient used for decades in India as a medicinal and noted for its magical properties.
POMEGRANATE - Pomegranate juice is high in antioxidants but what makes it extra special is that it stimulates the body’s production of nitric oxide. Nitric Oxide is a molecule that keeps the arteries from hardening and building up plaque, moving us farther away from stroke and heart attacks. When we are young we normally produce abundant quantities of nitric oxide, which allows us to eat junk food by the bucket load and not stroke out before we reach the age of twenty one. Nitric Oxide was considered a bad molecule as little as 10 years ago, now it is a life force trigger molecule, often likened to a New Viagra. Antioxidants are essential for thinning your blood, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, and prevent stokes and heart attacks. Antioxidants are found in a lot of fruits. In pomegranate juice there is a super-antioxidant, which is 3 times more powerful than is found in wine or tomatoes.
Another amazing property of Pomegranate is that research has shown that Pomegranate juice is helpful in dissolving brain plaque that is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. A third amazing property of Pomegranate is that it contains a high quantity of a molecule called elegiac acid. This research has shown to prevent prostate enlargement and actually kill prostate cancer cells. They are telling us that if we live to be 75 years old that almost 100% of men will have prostate cancer. Well not me, or you either, because we are going to be more informed and proactive.
MORINGA - This miracle of a plant is currently saving the lives of thousands of malnourished infants in a trial project in Salgalia, Africa. The leaves of the Moringa tree are the most perfect complete food plant that has been discovered on planet Earth. Did you know the body needs 22 amino acids for life and it only produces 14 and they always need to be replenished. Amino acids are the building blocks of life. They rebuild muscle tissue and make new cells. The 8”essential” amino acids must be absorbed from certain food we eat. Did you know Moringa is the only plant that contains all 8 essential amino acids. Moringa also contains 7 times the vitamin C of oranges, 4 times the calcium of milk, 4 times the vitamin A of carrots, 2 times the potassium of bananas and 2 times the protein of yogurt. The seeds of the Moringa can be ground up and put into putrid water where it will draw the impurities to it, neutralize them, and purify the water. Yes, you could then drink the water. Imagine what detoxifying effects this would have on our bodies. Of course, you still have to get enough sleep and exercise.
ALOE VERA - has tremendous healing properties on all body surfaces. In the digestive tract it is in contact with all the mucous membranes from the mouth to its exit point having great benefits all the way through. The primary reason however the formulators of PogaMoonga™ used it as a base for their nutrient is because it has the ability to bind with nutrients that might otherwise be lost and transport them across the small intestine barrier. This means it has the capability of making nutrients more potent and thus more beneficial. This is a powerful combination of nutrients. I advise you to take a look at this one. Only a 2 oz. shot, every morning can change your life for the better. We have testimonials of people who have used Poga for 90 days or more which are almost incredible. One woman said she always has a bad case of asthma every fall, but this year she has been taking Poga and had not had any problems with asthma. One persons sister with MS has used poga for several months, and her MS symptoms have gone into remission. Another person described regular migraine headaches which have abated with the use of Poga.
On our Dare to Be Great Show last week with Arthur Hawk, Publisher we have discussed ”Cooperation" Lesson 13 in support of the world-wide launch of Napoleon Hills-Law of Success series of 16 digital multi-media eBooks as a reading course.

"You can't scare a man who is at peace with God, his fellow man and himself. There is no room for fear in such a man's heart. When fear finds a welcome there is something that needs awakening.." by Napoleon Hill
On the show we have discussed; what are the two forms of cooperation? what are the three most important factors that enter into the process of organizing effort?, what is laziness?, how do you transform procrastination?, what are the three major motivating factors humans respond to?and much more...
Coach Steve has shared a very profound quote from this lesson: "The World pays you for what you do, not what you know!".
