Traffic Geyser Bonus

There is a current special offer on where anyone who buys a Year Platinum Membership of Traffic Geyser also gets the iPhone App Builder, a special App they have developed which allows you to create your OWN iPhone App. Why is this special… Well look at these stats.

Apple iTunes has one of the largest consumer databases in the word. Apple has over 100 million users with credit cards on file who are buying music, ebooks, applications and audio books. When they launched the iPhone they captured 2% of the market. Since Apple launched the App store there have been 2 billion apps downloaded to date and most users install 10 or more apps on their phones.

Businesses are seeing this as a huge opportunity. To get approved as an iPhone developer you have to get approved as an iPhone developer, find a developer to create your App, find about 5k to 50k to build the first version, then get through the submission process to get your APp approved in the store.

What Traffic Geyser is doing is giving you the ability to create your OWN application right inside their software, with no programming knowledge required, and they will even submit the app to the iPhone store for you. You don’t need any licence or developer to do it.

If you are going to buy a video camera for your web video then the new Kodak Zi8 is very affordable and perfect choice especially if you are intending to start video marketing your products or services.

Why? Here are 4 reasons.

1. most lower cost options like the cheaper flip video cameras don’t have a mic input but the new Zi8 does. This really makes a difference to the quality of your audio and this makes the difference betweeen a professional looking video and a home-made.

2. it stores in Quicktime format at 1080p, 780p, and records at 60 frames per second which means you can record fast action motion such as sports.

3. it has an SD slot which means you can put in a 32BG card in and record about 4 to 6 hours of hi-def video or thousands of 5MB still photos.

4. the video quality is fantastic – 3 of 4 times better than the flip video.

The battery lasts around 90 minutes for video recording. It costs around $179 from Kodak. Mike Koenigs from Traffic Geyser goes into more detail in the video review below.

You will have noticed how video has been growing exponentially over the last few years. The following graph shows how use of Youtube has grown.

Most good websites these days are integrating video these days. Not only does it improve usability and add interest to a site, but video is also easier to rank in the search engines than standard content. If you don’t have video on your site you are missing a trick.

There is a perception that the top search results are the leading brands and with search engines often showing video results integrated on the first page, video marketing is an additional way to market your brand and get visibility for your website or business.

In 2010 we are going to see a lot more businesses turning to video to improve their brand visibility. However just uploading a video to Youtube is not going to get you far.

There are a number of things you need to do to get your video noticed.

Firstly, you have to make sure the video is optimized for search. The title and description are very important. Make sure you are including your important keywords. There is a free course on Keyword research at Search Classroom.

Secondly you need to make sure you have the right equipment because it is very easy to produce low quality video. See my other posts about Web Video Equipment.

Third you need a way to distribute the video. This is where TrafficGeyser really comes in. It hugely simplifies the task of getting your video noticed. When you upload your video into Traffic Geyser you can then distribute it to between 15 to 130 sites depending on your membership level. Pricing ranges from $47 per month upwards.

TrafficGeyser will also publish your content to all the following…
- Video sites (YouTube, Yahoo, Kewego, Metacafe, etc.)
- Social bookmarking sites (delicious, Technorati, etc…)
- Social networking sites (i.e. MySpace, etc..)
- Unlimited user WordPress Blogs
- Article Directories
- Podcasts
- Podcast Directories

One of the most vaulable but understated features of TrafficGeyser is all the training you get on how to optimize your videos, what the best video formats are, the best tools for editing, and the best equipment to use.

If this review is enough to make you want it, which you should if you are serious about your online marketing, then you can get it here … if you need more information to make a decision then use the navigation to see our other Traffic Geyser reviews which discuss some of the features of this powerful video marketing system.

Here is another example case study of the type of video marketing results I am getting with TrafficGeyser.

This video shows how I used Traffic Geyser to distribute video for a client who wanted to have #1 page Google rankings for their services in multipe different locations.

Due to Universal search, Google shows blocks of video results on the first page of the Search Resutls, and if your video has been optimized correctly you have a high chance of ranking there. Watch this video to see the results we achieved for this client….

If you are wondering whether or not you can get good results with Traffic Geyser have a look at this case study I did on one of my clients.

Of course there is more to getting good search rankings than simply publishing a video. You need to also ensure you target the correct search terms in the title and description tags, but you will learn all of this when you sign up at TrafficGeyser.

This video shows how easy it is to get first page rankings on Google using video distribution through Traffic Geyser.

When I signed up to TrafficGeyser I signed up just to get the main service to distribute my videos – however I feel that my subscription has been much more valuable than simply a video distribution service.

The main members area contains about 40 “Quickstart training guides” which are about 5-10 minutes long each. These videos cover nearly all aspects of video marketing and you will probably call yourself a video marketing expert once you have gone through them all.

What is not really advertised however is all the other bonuses which you get when you subscribe.

This training will allow you to become an expert in creating web video and video marketing.

Here are the bonuses I got when I subscribed – and I am sure you would get just as much value….

1) Internet Video Starter Kit – which is basically a set of 4 training videos designed to get you up and shooting video online in no time at minimal cost. This covers …

The quick and easy home setup studio which shows what equipment you will need to create videos from home which still look professional at minimal cost.

Internet video editing 101 – show you step-by-step how to use video editing software which costs less than $100 and comes with a free 30-day trial download. Here are a few of the chapters in Course 2:

Internet video compression 101 – guides you through the process of how to compress video for the Web. You’ll learn what software to use, the settings, configuration and pitfalls of doing it yourself.

Free video hosting with Google video which shows you how to create a Google Video account, upload your videos and get them on your Web site.

2) Viral Video secrets eBook – where you will learn how one guy created a video that has generated nearly a million visitors, and $14,000 a month for him in ongoing revenue.

3) Secret Spider Generator Software – which is basically an XML sitemap generator which you can run on any of your sites and upload to Google. This is really simple to use unlike most of the free sitemap generators which you can download from the web.

4) 101 royalty free music clips – which you can use if you would prefer not to use your own voice on your videos..  However I must say that I did not think much of the music selection – I found it a bit old-fashioned and I personally am using soundtrack from the other sources such as http://www.premiumbeat.com – and a number of other cheaper sources are revealed in the Viral Video Secrets eBook  (mentioned above)

With this training available at no extra cost  I am now well on my way to becoming a video marketing expert and I regard this as essential to my line of work which is SEO consulting.

I have done a lot of internet marketing courses in the past and paid several thousand dollars for many of them,  Traffic Geyser could easily charge this much for the kind of information they are giving you, and I am sure they will realise this before long.

Here are a few reasons why I think Traffic Geyser is one of the most powerful marketing systems available. I have done this review of Traffic Geyser to answer some questions my clients have had about whether to invest in this system or not.

We can see already that video marketing is mainstream. Internet Marketers like Frank Kern and Mike Filsaime are using video to create desire for their products.

I follow all the internet marketing launches and I don’t think I have seen any this year which have launched without a series of videos to presell the launch. The videos make the person selling the course much more real and believable, just like the video above with Mike Koenigs.

Tools like Traffic Geyser are going to make it easy for businesses to publish their own web videos online.

Google loves video content. Since it rolled out universal search you will see video listings appearing on the first page for many searches, and the reason is Google wants to integrate different types of media in the search results. If you have well-optimized video content you have a very good chance of getting it onto the first page of search results for any searches with less than 300,000 results.

But getting listed on the search results is not the only reason!

TrafficGeyser makes it simple to actually create the video, even if you have no experience with web video. It is virtually a push-button marketing system.

I have been using Traffic Geyser myself for a few months now and here I will try and answre some concerns that you might have.

Q. Can this just help me get backlinks to my site?
A. Yes – you can include your URL in the description which goes out when you publish your videos. Other sites which display your videos will show the link back to your site.

Q. Is Traffic Geyser a video production tool or a video distribution tool?
A. It is both. However the video production tool is really a means of turning media such as powerpoint slides, or photos, into a video with a soundtrack. This is very useful if you are doing a product demo or selling real estate. You can simply upload your photos and use the online video production tool to create a short video, then phone in on your telephone number assigned to your account and do a voiceover explaining your product or video. However the real benefit comes from being able to distribute your videos over the web with a few clicks.

Q. Is quality of video important?
A. It depends on whether you are trying to produce a documentary, or to market your business! Ask yourself what gets your attention. Is it a polished video production or is it someone giving a testimonial or a product demo?

What I do is use Camtasia Studio to do a screen capture and use a webcam to inset my picture in one of the corners, then I upload this and use Traffic Geyser to get it visibility. However if you have more time you can buy a flip video camera and make some simple videos of yourself explaining your product or service – then save to your PC and upload to Traffic Geyser.

Q. What about cost?
A. One of my business colleagues was recently quoted $14,000 to produce 2 videos for his furniture business!… I would go for $97 a month any day and there is a cheaper option if you only want to do a small number of videos per month.

Q. Is there any point of distributing to so many social media sites?
A. Yes – the more people who see your video, the more people will hear your message therefore why not try and reach as many people as you can? Furthermore the more sites that you post your video content on, the better for your search rankings.

Q. Is this spamming?
A. Submitting to different video sharing sites is just ensuring your content is found by as many people as possible. Just like you would want your site to be found on Google, Yahoo, and MSN. I don’t class this as spam.

I have only mentioned a fraction of what Traffic Geyser has to offer. There are great free videos on their website explaining what you can do in more detail, and helpful stuff like how to choose camera equipment.

You need to jump over to their website and watch the videos!

Traffic Geyser Review

Traffic Geyser is not only for publishing your videos to the world – it also allows you to create your own online videos.

And if you don’t have a webcam or microphone, you can still make videos with the online slideshow tool and a toll-free dial-in number.

You just call in a toll-free number leave your message, and upload a couple of images, which you can then easily turn into a video. 

Every account has a toll-free number assigned to it so you can record audio from your phone.

So lets say for example you were a realtor and you had a home you wanted to list, you could pick up your mobile phone, take a couple of snapshots of a house you are looking at, dial the toll-free number and describe the house…

"Hi I am in lovely San Diego at 123 >>> Boulevard, it is a 3 bedroom house with a lovely swimming pool etc. et.c.. if you are interested give me a call at 123123123 or email at xy@domain.com. "

….then in less than a minute that message will appear in your Traffic Geyser account. You can then send your pictures to your email address or upload them in your Traffic Geyser account. 

You then go to the slideshow creator, you pick your pictures, you select your audio , you click on "make my video" and in 1 minute your video will be created and saved in your account ready to be submitted. It is all web based, very easy to use, no software to download, no HTML or programming required.

Once your video is created the next thing you want to do is capture leads. Most sites are very poor at capturing leads and you have to spend a lot of time creating squeeze pages. With Traffic Geyser you simply pick "Squeeze page generator" and there are 15 pre-made templates all professionally designed all optimized to capture leads. You type in your headline, save and then at the end of your video your visitor is sent to your lead capture page. 

Now the big advantage with Traffic Geyser is that you can embed your lead capture forms inside your video so that the lead capture form actually appears on the video itself – pretty cool…. 

You then submit to dozens of locations within minutes, which saves hours or even days of manual labor.
