Not to be “That Guy” that would rub it in your face and yell in all caps, “I TOLD YOU SO!”  People are finally starting to get that using video is where it’s at!  Now, I’ve been saying that for quite a while now – I’ve been blogging about it, I’ve asking people on twitter why they’re not using it.  I’ve posted a few tips here to get you started, and have recommended some very inexpensive tools to get you going.

Yesterday, Chad Hurley (YouTube’s co-founder) was quoted, “The online video advertising market will emerge a winner from the global economic downturn as firms seek cheaper and more precise ways to promote their products…  The market for online video is reaching critical mass. Some of these audiences are similar in size to what you can reach in television programming..”  (Read Entire Article)

It’s reported that YouTube.com receives 15 hours of content every minute, and that rate is on the rise (yeah I’d call that critical mass!)  As a marketer or a someone who wants to get an idea to a large audience  you should see this a critical tipping point and target online video as the next weapon in your marketing campaign!

I have a bad habbit of calling my friends while they are in the dead middle of doing something important!  Such was the case when I called Paul Del Vecchio on Jan 6th, 2009 and interupted his taping of that days vLog.  Even with my calling him (and he was set to deliever a heavy vLog) what are you allowing to take you way from what you know you are suposed to be doing?

It’s Time to Get Agressive

No one is going to show up one day with every single resource that you’d need to get a project done!  You have to take charge, shut out all of the negitive voices that will tell you that you can’t, and just get started.  I have found over the last few months that having Twitter / TweetDeck on all day makes for some fun – but I had to ask myself, “Am I really getting everything that I could have done?”  I think that you know what the answer is on that one.   Shut out the things that keep you from doing what you love – pause, the things that will distract you from focus and get going!!!

Just wanted to send a really quick short note that I’ve started the process of really changing what this site is all about. This has come about mainly from a shift in focus and a refinement of what it is that I’m passionate about. A lot of what’s gone in to this site was about what I’ve always wanted to do, but I’m not doing presently. In turn – it’s been with out direction and focus for too long know, and it’s time to really get down to it, and get busy! It’s time for a “Re-do” and it’s going to get ugly for a bit, but stick with me – cause what will come from this is going to be great!
