This video is a gift you can give yourself and everyone you know who needs to believe in unlimited possibilities in the face of daunting challenges. It shows the story of a golden retriever service dog named Richochet and his master, a quadriplegic surfer named Patrick. Keep the tissues close at hand. This is a good one!
If you are starting the New Year with a commitment to give to a cause worthy of celebration, this very well could be the one you’ve been looking for.
And if you are seeking support for another equally worthy cause, consider how powerful video can be to invite followers, fans, and donors to support your effort. And you can use social networking to build the buzz and build even more community. Imagine the unlimited possibilities that await when you get into action for the cause that is closest to your heart.
As for me, I am going to hug my dog and count my blessings. As you can see from this photo of my dog Shadow, I am a sucker for a good story about a golden retriever.
The Mom of the Year video I posted a couple days ago has since celebrated over 1 million moms worldwide. Clearly, plenty of bloggers like me are helping to spread this very good news. With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, there is still time to celebrate your mom, step mom, sister, neighbor, or friend. Here is the link to make it easy for you to get into action. It’s a free, fun, and fabulous thing to do for the moms in your life on a Friday like today.
The folks at www.momsrising.com just got word that an anonymous donor has agreed to donate ten cents for every video that’s sent to a mom from now on, up to $25,000. This money will fund MomsRising.org’s work to support moms and good family policy in Washington, D.C. If you send to ten moms, that’s a dollar for this good work. That’s all the more reason to celebrate the moms in your life with this video. Enjoy!
Not everyone learns best by reading, so today I am offering a quickYouTube video to make it easy for you to learn essential do-it-yourself publicity tips and tools to help you earn a media placement a widely circulated magazine such as O The Oprah magazine. This video was taken by Get Booked on Oprah Expert Susan Harrow at the Grande-Sized Publici-Tea™ Workshop last October. If you haven’t yet read Susan’s books on how to earn Oprah’s attention, I promise that your DIY publicity effort will be very well served by doing so. I know mine has. Check out her high-value offerings at the link above. The media placement in O The Oprah Magazine happened with speed and impact because I purchased a subscription to Gift List Media and used it to find the perfect editorial opportunity to share the Seattle Chocolate Company story. The lessons I learned reading the Susan Harrow book definitely contributed to my success. If you have products that are ideally suited for spring or holiday gift guides, you owe it to yourself and your company’s success to take a look at Gift List Media.
Based on the placement success my client enjoyed as a result of our 2008 subscription, I can tell you that the modest investment required to benefit is well worth it.
With just a day between now and Valentine’s Day, you may be wondering which brand of chocolates to choose for your sweetie. If you want to know the CEO behind Seattle Chocolate Company as you make your choice, check out this engaging YouTube video featuring Jean Thompson. Here is the convenient link:
Video is a powerful way to share your message and make it easy for people near and far to get to know what you stand for, what you care about, and why your product, service, cause, or idea is worth standing behind. The internet is hungry for new content every day, and video content stands out above the rest because it is just so darn engaging.
If you have been wondering how to get started telling your story in this powerful way, Carol Carini of Billabong Studios in Auburn, WA can be your new best friend. Whether you pursue an interview of Biz Talk with Zita or find another video solution that is a perfect fit for your message, video is something to consider if telling your story beyond your own backyard is a priority. And you’ll be surprised at how affordable this can be.
I engaged Carol to produce videos for me so I could spread the do-it-yourself publicity message, and the videos have invited new invitations to speak to large groups, new radio station interviews, new clients, and new Publici-Tea™ Workshop registrations. What I know for sure is that “getting to yes” has been a lot easier since I made it easier for people to get to know me and my DIY publicity expertise from the convenience of their desktops. In these times especially, that is a beautiful thing.
Check out Jean’s interview and enjoy as she shares some of her savvy marketing insights and product development inspirations that have contributed to delicious growth at the chocolate company known for making it easy for women everywhere — and the people who love them — to treat themselves to “What Happiness Tastes Like™” everywhere they live, work, and shop. You can also buy delicious and exquisitely packaged chocolates conveniently online. Enjoy!
