Now that you’ve started recording YouTube videos to promote your website or small business, you can take your video marketing to the next level by enhancing those videos with interactive applications powered by Viewbix. I first heard about Viewbix from Vernessa Taylor and right away I was impressed by how Viewbix can transform an ordinary video, from YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook, into a powerful marketing tool that can help increase traffic, sales and conversions. Here’s the description of Viewbix taken from their website:
Viewbix lets you add interactive apps and calls-to-action to your videos. The apps put dynamic content on top of your YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook videos to create a rich viewing experience that engages viewers and can be shared across the web, social and mobile platforms.
Viewbix in Action
Take a glance at the video I’ve embedded below. It looks very similar to a typical YouTube video but up at the top, you’ll notice a very striking difference. There’s a blue border with the name of the video and a clickable-hyperlinked button that says “Get Viewbix”, and that’s not the only thing that stands out. Glance over on the right hand side and you will see several icons. Each of those icons represents a customized Viewbix generated application that I created in what’s called “Viewbix Studio”. You can learn all about “The Studio” and take a quick tour of the interface in the video I recorded called Viewbix Tutorial – Create Interactive Branded Videos with Calls to Action.
Breaking News! Viewbix just added AWeber to the Apps list!
Adam Riemer, the affiliate manager for Viewbix, talked about its advantages for the mobile market and the proven effectiveness of the clickable calls to action in a post on the GrowMap blog.
Marketers have tried things like using rich media or flash, but those don’t always work for mobile devices all the time. You could try adding in a url to the video, but that isn’t a real or solid call to action and people won’t always type the url in. Instead they search for a product name. That is why a new tool called Viewbix came out and is catching on so quickly…Because you can add in clickable calls to action and show videos and images of your products, you can now measure the effectiveness and reach of your video campaigns.
Custom Viewbix Webpage
One of my favorite features of Viewbix is this personalized webpage (see below) that is created for each and every one of the Viewbix enhanced videos. This is great option to showcase your product video on it’s own page which includes additional information about the featured product along with your latest tweets.

How to Build Facebook Page Timeline Apps with Lujure
As a blogger, you can compare creating custom Facebook apps with Lujure to creating custom plugins for your WordPress blog. That’s the best analogy I can think of to express how highly flexible Lujure is, and since I started using it, I’m actually starting to like Facebook now. I know, it’s hard to believe I’m saying this, because I’ve been complaining about how annoyed I get when Facebook makes changes to their platform. And I’m sure you have wanted to scream and pull your hair out just like all the other Facebook users – not to mention the headaches all these changes cause for most Facebook page owners and developers. But when Facebook introduced Timeline for pages I started to relax a little, I felt a little grin come across my face, and I even said to myself “this is kinda cool”. Then Amy Porterfield mentioned Lujure in one of her recent webinars, and now I’m hooked on using Facebook and I’m beginning to I feel like a total Facebook junkie!
Lujure is to Facebook, just as Plugins are to WordPress
Lujure is a really feature rich service that will help you get the most out of your Facebook page by giving it a ton of added functionality. You can build apps with optin forms, squeeze pages, Google maps, Skype, YouTube videos, RSS feeds – just about everything from soup to nuts and best of all you can create your first Facebook app with Lujure for free! Now I think you’re starting to see why I compare Lujure to WordPress plugins, but proceed with caution because pretty soon you’ll be hooked too.
This image represents the number of widgets you can currently add to apps from the Lujure library and just imagine all the possibilities this opens up for expanding your network on Facebook. After you build your first free app, you’ll find that Lujure offers affordable pricing, starting at $30 per month for the Consultant Plan which I signed up for right after creating my first application. Lujure also has an affiliate network and I joined the program right away as well.
The Lujure HTML Widget
During the evolution of Facebook pages, about a year ago, Facebook did away with the FBML templates and everyone converted to the more popular iFrame tabs. Lujure has a nifty iFrame widget, which is the one everyone “oohed and aahed” over in Amy Porterfield’s webinar (including your’s truly). Lujure’s iFrame app is one of my favorites because you can drag an entire web page right into your Facebook Page with the iFrame. It’s so easy to build an application with the iFrame widget, you simply add the URL of the webpage right inside the wigdet and drag the frame to fit the page. Sounds super awesome right! You can build a page in less than 60 seconds flat. No kidding and absolutely NO CODING involved.
However, for this video I wanted to do something a little more challenging, to really show off how you can do just about anything you want with Lujure’s HTML widget. After all, this is my third video and latest entry in Barry Well’s internet marketing video challenge so I had to step up my game a bit Let me know if you think I did just that because in this video I’m going to show you how to add an Aweber broadcast newsletter right on your Facebook page app. HA!

You might even be the next YouTube sensation like my friend Lisa Irby, but at the end of the day, what you really want is for people to take enough of an interest in you that they take the time to subscribe to your channel and eventually visit your website or blog.
The simplest way to get those adoring fans from YouTube back over to your site is by asking. I know you
might think that goes without saying, but there are lots of people who post videos on YouTube and never even mention their blogs and in some cases they don’t even have a blog.

Writing SEO articles
Writing SEO articles sounds very scary to new Webmasters, but let me tell you that it really is easy. It is simply a matter of following some very common guidelines.
This does not mean that you have to write like a machine just to please the search engines though, as writing for the people first should always be your number one concern. The art of writing SEO articles is having the ability to please both the search engines and your website visitors. The key is to incorporate these necessary SEO content rules into your articles without the human visitor noticing.
#1—It All Starts With a Title
I know everyone is probably sick of hearing this, but the title of your post is the most important part of your whole article. It is what people see that could possibly entice them to click on your link. Your title is the major advertising point for your article. Human visitors will see this listed in the search engines, hopefully higher rankings, and they will also see it on your blog, your RSS feeds, your CommentLuv links and many other places.
Including your top keywords in your title is also important. This gives the reader a clue as to what your article is about and should expect relating content on the page. This is also helps with your rankings in the search engines, but if people don’t click on your link, then you will drop out fast. That is exactly why the title is the most important part of writing SEO content.
#2—Use Heading Tags Throughout
This practice started out for simply search engine optimization purposes, however now it seems that readers like to see subheadings as well, to break up the content into easy readable chunks.
No one likes to see a big block of text and nothing else. This looks unprofessional and appears to have no care taken on the formatting of the article. In fact an ill formatted article closely resembles spam or mass produced articles. This is not the perception that you want to create.
Therefore I like to sprinkle heading tags throughout the article. This article can be used as an example.
The title of the article is a heading 1 <H1> tag and contains the keyword.
The subtitles are <H2> or <H3> and randomly contain a keyword.
There are many more details I could mention here so I have prepared a free SEO report for you to download. No signup required! (If you are on my list you may already have this.)
#3—Keywords in Your SEO Articles
To enforce the signal of your keyword rich title and subheadings, you need to sprinkle your keyword throughout the article. Now this is probably more for the search engines than the humans and it is important that the human does not overly notice these keywords.
The reason we do this is to tell Google that this article is about a particular keyword. This technique will not directly make you rank higher in Google but it will tell them what your article is about.
The usual practice is to add a keyword to both your first and last paragraph and also scattered in amongst your content. Never overdo your keywords as you will be classed as a spammer.
#4—Related Keywords Rock!
This is one thing that people neglect to do when writing SEO articles, they often forget to include related keywords. They simply fill their article with keyword after keyword after keyword, with no variations, or any interesting differences.
I like to research my main keyword and grab all the related keywords and use them in my article as well. This really enforces the topic that you are talking about and also helps you write a far more informational article. It is amazing when you research and find related keywords. This process really opened your eyes to what you should be talking about with your topic. I like to use the keyword winner WordPress plug-in to find the best related keywords from right inside my WordPress dashboard. In fact I am so impressed with this product, I wrote a Keyword Winner review, detailing how I use this to get my articles ranking high.
#5—Proof Read Your SEO Articles!
Did you know that Ernest Hemingway said, “The first draft of anything is shit.” Take some time to proof read your article before publishing, as the human visitors can be very critical of small errors. This is easy to do if you always keep in mind that you are writing for the humans and only optimizing your content for the search engines.
I always like to remember, that without humans, there would be no search engines in the first place. In the end, the search engines only read the human’s actions to gauge whether your article is worthy of ranking or not. So proof read your article and look at it from a human point of view. Hopefully you still remember how to do that.

Bloggers – Time for a Yoga Break
Time for a Yoga Break
Ease the tension in your neck and shoulders using simple self massage and yoga techniques presented in this video. No equipment is needed and you can do this while sitting in your chair. Go to a quiet room, or use headphones if you can, and pay close attention to your breath.The story behind this yoga video.
Ntathu Allen is a yoga teacher, writer and blogger at YogaInspires. I first came in contact with Ntathu when she entered Kiesha Easley’s Surviving the Blog Contest, and meeting her reminded me of how much I miss practicing yoga. As I read one of Ntathu’s contest posts called Yoga for Bloggers – Simple Self Massage to Ease a Sore Neck and Stiff Shoulders I was moved to recite the piece for my podcast. Ntathu was so pleased with the podcast, that I decided to take things to the next level and create a YouTube video using some still shots and the video creation tool called Animoto. I hope you enjoy the video come back and watch it again whenever you want to relax. If you get a chance, please do me a favor and give it a thumbs up or leave a comment over on YouTube.
With all the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping on top of a hectic blogging schedule, it makes sense to take a few moments to relax and pamper yourself a little. Practicing yoga is a great way to soothe your spirit, but I’m sure you can think of others. What do you do when your neck starts to feel tight and sore or if you just need to take a break - have you tried practicing yoga before?

How To Promote Your Content on YouTube
If you signed up for a YouTube account but you haven’t figured out what to do with it, here’s your answer – start promoting your content! I know, I know…you have a list of excuses for why you didn’t make a video yet, but I’m prepared to address each one of your fears so you can get started with promoting your blog, your website and even your ebooks on YouTube!
Excuses For Not Using YouTube
I don’t look good on camera
I don’t have a webcam (use my affiliate link to get the webcam I use)
I don’t know how to make a video
I don’t speak English clearly
My Response To Your Excuses
You don’t need to get in front of the camera (see #2)
You don’t need a webcam you can use free screen capture software like Screenr or Screencast-o-matic
You can watch my Screenr tutorial and all you need to do is push the record button
You can use a website like XtraNormal they say “if you can type you can make movies” and they do all the talking for you
Build Links with YouTube
Now that all your excuses are out of the way, let’s get started (if you have more excuses, leave a comment and I’ll add it to the list along with my response). Here’s a great example from one of my favorite YouTube superstars SoldierKnowsBest.
Mark (that’s his real name) has links to his affiliate products and his smart phone apps, not to mention over 66,000 views in just under one week! Let’s look at another example. Have you ever checked out DeStorm? He’s the man on YouTube!
DeStorm has links to his products and his Facebook page too and if you were impressed with 66,000 views in a week, what do you have to say about 195,000 views in a week? Notice that he also used a cool annotation feature in the top right hand side of the video to link to another YouTube video he wants you to watch. I like how he added some other call-outs for his social networks like Twitter and Facebook.
I’m not trying to convince you that you can become a YouTube star like DeStorm or SoldierKnowsBest, I just want to you see how you should use YouTube to promote your blog, your business and yes even your products by adding links to your descriptions. Don’t worry about dofollow or nofollow, just be sure to add links in your description. Don’t get carried away, but at least link to your blog, Twitter and Facebook.

How to Attract More Guest Bloggers on Your Blog
First of all, lets talk about why we need guest bloggers? As a blog owner, we need to produce high quality contents in the form of posts on daily basis to make sure our blog is moving in the right direction. Sometimes it becomes really difficult to generate targeted posts due to the busy lifestyle we all are living or we are short of blog post ideas. Guest blogging can fix this problem to a great extent. To solve the problem of publishing relevant contents on regular basis, you should incorporate a guest blogging system on your blog.
First thing you should do is create a page to inform your blog readers about guest blogging opportunities on your blog. You can name this page Submit Guest Post, or Write For Us, or Contribute Guest Post etc. In this page, you should mention the benefits of guest blogging and your guidelines for guest bloggers with contact details. Once you have created this page, you should add it in the header navigation section on your blog so that it grabs the attention of most of your blog readers.
Next thing you could do is begin making a list of blog owners in your niche and invite them for guest blogging on your blog. When you invite others bloggers, most of them will be interested in writing for your blog in case your blog has already got some popularity and they are aware about guest blogging concept. Apart from this, you should browse other blogs in your industry that accept guest posts. You should generate a list of guest bloggers who are contributing guest posts on those blogs and invite them for guest blogging on your blog.
Ideally blog owners who are accepting guest posts on their blogs are familiar with doing guest posts themselves and would be interested in contributing a guest post on top blogs in their niche’s for better presence on the search engines front. Here is the ultimate list of 100 plus blogs accepting guest posts on their blogs. You should invite the blog owners of these blogs to write a guest post on your blog.
MyBlogGuest is a guest blogging community website started by Ann Smarty, a well known blogger and social media activist. This blogging community has a discussion forum that one can use to invite guest bloggers to post on their blogs. So what you should do is create an account on this website and start a thread of your own to inform guest bloggers about the type of posts you want on your blog. Once you are signed in, you will see lots of similar active threads you can even reply in case you are not interested in creating a separate thread or you can use both the options.
I would recommend you start using Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and other popular social media websites to find guest bloggers for your blog. It would not be a difficult task in case you have huge follower base on these websites. You should make tweets about the same on Twitter and status updates on Facebook. I was able to bring in some popular guest bloggers to my blog through these websites when I tried this method in the past.
Do you have any other killer idea that can help us attract lots of guest bloggers on our blog, please share in the comments section below? You are invited to share your opinion in case you are not agreeing with any of the tips mentioned above for finding guest bloggers for our niche specific blogs.
