I haven’t written about this in a while because it’s been going on since January, but…

ListBuilding Club Ferrari

There’s still a Ferrari up for grabs over at the ListBuilding Club. There are three things you need to do to win:

1. Join the ListBuilding Club

You can start off with a $1 trial for your first month. That’s a $97 value, so you’ll be saving $96. You should definitely go do that. You’ll be amazed at how awesome the club is. If you’re struggling to make this work, Brian Edmondson does a wonderful job of teaching ALL the stuff about Internet marketing you need to know to make your business work. And it’s on video! It’s not a .pdf or audio training. You can watch Brian and then, go do exactly what he did, and bingo! You’re list building and creating your own, profitable online business.

2. Show the most improvement in building your list and make the most money with it by May 31, 2009.

So, let’s say you have no list… noooo problem! You will when you’re finished with this contest. Guaranteed. But (and this is a huge but) YOU must take action! You can’t win, and you’ll NEVER succeed unless you do that. It’s really just that simple.

3. Write an essay about why you should be the spokesperson for the ListBuilding Club.

Why are you awesome? What did you do that makes you awesome? How much money have you made? How can you prove these claims? If you aren’t a writer, talk into a tape or digital voice recorder and then, transcribe your essay or have someone transcribe it for you. You can make a video essay, too, so you really don’t have to write at all. K?

This is great! It’s a WIN-WIN situation, really. No matter whether you’re eligible (and only residents of the U.S. are, which is a shame, really) or not, you’ll still come away with more incredible knowledge than ever before. You’ll have a list building. You’ll be making money.

I didn’t figure it out for the first couple of years I was online. I had no list. I made NO money. But I have a list now and that makes all the difference. I have a relationship with the people on my list and they trust me to send them the good stuff. They know that if I recommend something, it’s worth having.

And they buy.

And I make money.

More money than I ever made before in my life, and all it took was learning that IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LIST.

So, go get into the contest! (Even if you can’t enter, you can still get the $1 trial and see just how awesome we really are over there.) Just have a contest with yourself with what you’ll be learning. Honestly, I’ve been around for 5+ years now, and I assure you… it’s some of the best training you’ll ever get. Yeah, yeah… I’m the ListBuilding Club Project Manager, and I’m probably a little prejudiced, but go and see what our members are saying and win some cool Ferrari prizes:

We’re giving away cool stuff every day! You’d be a fool not to at least check it out. The ListBuilding Club is helping thousands of people every month, and it’s just totally fulfilling.

God, I love my job!

Over the past year or so, I’ve become quite enamored of video. I’ve been making lots of short films for my blogging business, for Overcome Everything, and for a special project I’ve been working on for more than a year. If you want to get into a sci-fi video novel, this is my client’s site: http://CugelsCastle.com

Anyway, these are all different types of videos… screen capture, talking head, and Power Point. The first thing I did was buy Camtasia. Why not, right? Everyone uses Camtasia.

OK… Works great for most stuff, but when I started working with the video novel, I bought Sony Vegas Pro 8 Editing Workshop. Wow! I mean it’s so much more powerful! It’s very easy to add rolling credits, a watermark, and to edit. I totally love it. I know I’m only scratching the surface with the software, so I plan to learn tons more about that.

Cameras were a problem, too, believe it or not. We bought a digital camcorder last year and though that would do the best job for the talking head videos. Wrong. When it came time to render them, it was a total hassle. I had to reformat them, and then the sound didn’t always meet the facial expression. I worked that out with Vegas, but there were just a ton of glitchy things that happened.

Well…

Brian Edmondson, our resident video guy at Overcome Everything, told me to get the Mino Flip Video Camera. It’s like $150 less than we paid for the other camera we bought, so I didn’t think too much about it. Then, Brian made some videos with it for The LIst Building Club, and the picture and sound were so clear that I went out the same night that I had seen Brian’s videos and bought one for less than $200.

Wow!

If you’re doing video or contemplating it, the Flip Cam is the easiest way to go. I LOVE that thing! Plus, you can take it anywhere because it’s so slim and small. (Yeah, I was lucky enough to have waited until the slimmer version came out.) It’s just the best.

So, if you’re hesitating about doing video, don’t. It’s becoming more and more important online.  And, I have some great advice for you, which can save you tons of aggravation and time:

1) Get a Flip Cam

by Douglas Spotted Eagle

2) Get the free version of Sony Vegas and work with it until you feel you’re ready to upgrade. Then, work with it for a while. Try not to get too frustrated. But if you do, there’s a book you ca buy: Sony Vegas Pro 8 by Douglas Spotted Eagle. I haven’t had to look much up, but it sure comes in handy when you’re scratching your head.

3) If you’re lucky enough to be in Stomper Net, watch the Stomper Vision videos by Mike Stewart. Awesome! If you aren’t in Stomper, buy the course. It’s totally worth it and helped me to understand Vegas a whole lot better.

And then, shoot some video! It’s a blast!

So, today is Monday, and as with every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., I’m working like crazy. I totally love what I do, but our company is growing and there are tons of interesting things coming up.

Today, Tellman launched “The Tellman Show” on video, for example. (You can see it at http://www.viddler.com/explore/Tellman/videos/10/ )

He’s just incredible and has more ideas and energy than any person I’ve ever met before. I love being part of his company–Overcome Everything, where I have the awesome job of being Content Manager.

To be honest, I’ve never worked with a group of people that I respected and cared for so much. It’s very cool, and after two years, I wouldn’t trade what I do at OE for any other job.

So, here’s the thing…

I’m to the point where I need people, so I’m gathering a team.

• I need a videographer who can make Camtasias and work with Sony Vegas, for example.
• I need writers… People who can write articles, special reports, or whatever else that’s not copy.
• I need graphics savvy people who can dress up a report or physical product.
• I need people who are comfortable with fulfillment and getting all that together.

Might YOU fit the bill?

Are you looking for some extra income, albeit sporadic? This isn’t like a job, it’s like extra help when the time presents itself, like when we’re doing two launches simultaneously, or rushing to get the latest newsletter down the pipeline. I need people for when the work just gets too heavy for me & Brian to handle. Brian Edmondson does an awesome job of creating videos, but he’s only one guy, too.

So, here’s what I’d like you to do:

Post your resume online. Then, come to the blog here and post a comment, letting me know where it is. I’ll happily check it out, and if I can utilize your incredible skills, I’ll contact you. Please remember to add your email address to your CV (resume).

And… Here’s a trick so you don’t get spammed…

Make your email address an image. Use screen capture software to take a picture of your email address and make the picture clickable. The spammy robots will never know.

Anyway, if you’re interested and have the skills, let me know! I need someone who knows English very well and is pretty well versed in Internet Marketing, too. So, keep that in mind. Not every project will be about that, but when the project requires IM knowledge, it’s important that you know what we need.

Looking forward to working with some of you! It’s always a blast!
