MLM Lead Generation Training: October 2011

Now we had some technical difficulties that popped up transferring pc -> mac slides and how I just installed screenflow and forgot to install the on board sound to hear other people talking... DOH!!!

We were thinking about closing the door on the special deal I had with Brian but since there were some issues like above AND slamming the order page where it didn't work for about 20 minutes what I'm going to do is extend the special ONLY for those that are in this list and those who pre-registered.

The link www.workwithbriancole.com/webinar is not a static site. It WILL be taken down soon. It's up to Brian and I already hit my quota so it's best to hit that link today before he flips the link to his higher price.

The original price will flip to this page.

Thanks for everyone to coming on live and I hope to get some more value packed training specifically to building your business bigger online ;)

Engineering Your Success,

Youtube and Viddler Cost Vs My Hosted Site Price Breakdown

Posted by Lawrence Tam 0 comments

Read below this current email if you missed why I am leaving Viddler and Youtube for my critical videos.

Let's just break it down for quick price comparison.

Youtube is free but it's only a matter of time they slap you if it's promotional or network marketing based (especially).

Viddler is $50/month with 50gb of bandwidth or $100/month for 100gb of bandwidth.

My own HOSTED website is only a small fraction of my total videos and I still hit 30gb last month.

How much did I pay?

It was little over $3 for bandwidth. My total bill with hosting,bandwidth, and fees last month was $6.24!

Amazon bandwidth fee

$0.120 per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer out

Now why is this important?

If you here to grow a thriving business down the line I didn't' think viddler would be a good source to house my videos. Especially since they can SLAP you so easily.

If i'm going to grow say 2-5x in the next couple years I think I needed to think long term.

I'll do a formal write up on my blog but wanted to get this to you ASAP so you don't have to go through what I'm going through now....

Fixing lots of broken videos due to being cut down by Viddler because I'm using it for promotional uses and it's not cost effective for marketers like myself who plan to pump out 100+ videos a year for marketing.

I hope this has been educational and eye opening.

I'm in the field cutting my teeth in marketing and want you to excel... really.

So here is a plug to the Amazon S3 hosted video player and service I'm using:

Here is my video player I use now and for the future

Email 2 days ago

If you have been hitting some of my video trainings on my website you might have noticed as of last night some are not working.

About a year ago I was slapped off of youtube. It wasn't nice and all because someone didn't like my video. No warning, No email. Just kicked.

I have since gotten another youtube account and it's primarily for my own personal use (shooting videos of my kids, or the random training video) but I normally don't use it for marketing.

I have started to push more of my marketing training videos into viddler. I've been with them over 2 years now.

As of last night I noticed some of my trainings were not pulling up.

I got viddler slapped! ARRR

Well, turns out my account is now being classified as a business account and instead of being emailed and told they just closed my account and basically held it hostage.

I can't access my account or see any of the videos until AFTER I pay for an upgrade.

Looking at the numbers I actually would pay MUCH less just using my own hosted video hosting with Amazon s3 and my customized video player.

I might make pay for the viddler business account for the mean time but thinking back to what I really wanted to do with these videos it doesn't make sense to put any more videos on there especially capture page videos, important training videos, and testimonials.

I have so many video testimonials today that are NOT playing until I pay them. doooooh.

So it's going to be a slow process but I'm officially be going to move all of my "business" videos like trainings and testimonials to my own hosted video website and HIGHLY recommend you do too.

This is what I personal use to host my videos for the last 18 months

So it might take some time before I get everything re-uploaded and encoded but for the most part most if not ALL of my stuff will be leaving youtube and viddler or any public hosting video site.

Here is my video player I use now and for the future

Also,

I will be hosting a Facebook Traffic webinar tomorrow. Here are the details:
