Coronado, CA- DavidKamatoy.com first podcast via chroma-Key green-screen. This is a
test of a green screen format that intends to be a regular event. So
it's a little rough around the edges. Same babble as on the news
section of the LiveStream Show... Enjoy!
Hey so check this out... Looks cool and now we will improve the format.
We are days away from Thanksgiving which also means that we are heading into a time when the prospect of "New Business" goes into hibernation. If you are part of the holiday season then you will be exceptionally busy. For the rest of us there is a point when you will start to get the...
"Sounds Great! Let's talk at the beginning of the year."
A lot of you may hang up the phone and then scream...
So instead of being blindsided by this phenomena get clear that this is going to happen and it's up to you to responsible for your activity during this downtime.
For extroverts and those driven by sales and interactivity this may be a very difficult time especially if you emotionally attach yourself to sales/money.
AN EXTROVERT STRATEGY: Use the holiday time to emotionally connect with would be and current clients.
Use this time to get to know your database a bit. Ask important questions...
How did you do this year?
What kind of opportunities are you looking for in the new year, 2010?
What kind of skill sets do you have that I don't know about?
What kind of opportunity can I be on the look out for you in 2010?
Is there a proposal that I can prepare for you for the top of the year that can help you hit your goals?
You can do this as a series of phone calls and/or emails preferably using a jugglemail.
Using a jugglemail strategy: Create a well written email and track that email using the "Hot Prospects" Generator. Then pick up the phone and connect with the Hot Prospects and the Read email recipients.
AN INTROVERT STRATEGY: Be meticulous about finishing up projects.

During this dead-time there are most likely some great talented people sitting idle right now for you to hire or ask for help to get some of the long-overdue projects completed.
We are currently organizing our end of the year strategies based on these principles.
We have a pile of content that has not been a priority but all extremely viable from conventions and events. We just shot 2 days of GREEEN SCREEN for ourselves and our clients that we have started post production on. While these may be completed during the end of the year we are really setting the table for the beginning of the year.
That being said please watch the blog as we build some great content over the next 6 weeks. If you want our assistance in creating some new media. email marketing, STUFF before the end of the year just contact us.
We will continue to update the blog with end of the year STRATEGIES....
Business Cards still remain to be a staple of business etiquette even in this age of virtual business.
While flyers, post cards and brochures are easily replaced or augmented with websites and blogs. The onslaught of social media marketing.
The reality of meeting a business contact and exchanging business cards
is still a staple of business introductions.
I find myself looking for our business cards these days when I have an actual meeting with a prospective client or contact and feel a bit awkward when I don't have them.
I recently interviewed the co-founder of a group of restaurants here in San Diego,CA and after he handed my his card I notably thought "Nice Card." It was a cool design with some emboss work done so it had some texture to it. A real world reminder of, "Oh Yeah, I need to re-design my business card."
I have used Avery card Stock in the past but there is something still to be said about an actual business card versus a perforated card stock.
A professional business card gives you a "GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION"
In Southern CA there is a strong business casual and casual vibe. If you are caught with just shorts and a t-shirt then sometimes that professional business card can replace the business suit that you are not wearing.
So get back to the basics and make sure that you have a nice business card as one of your first tools to market yourself and your business.
The loan volume is expected to surge which means that banks are starting to lend.
The question is do you have a business or project that could be eligible for an SBA Loan?
With the goodwill limits raised it means that you have the possibility of borrowing more capital. As a business owner that wants to sell it means that you can get more for your business because the limits have been raised.
Who should look into an SBA Loan...
1. If you have great credit.
2. If you have an established business.
3. If you want to buy a business.
Here is the link to BizBen.com a listing of businesses for sale in CA.
If you need a CA SBA Loan Broker please contact our associate and sponsor Craig G. Francis at 1-888-666-9722. If you are out of the CA area and would like to do it yourself check out the reports on SBALoanStore.com.

Here are Ten Twitter Tips, social media and it's best and worst. Hopefully this will inspire a few ideas on how to build and monetize your database using twitter. This post will be discussed on the David Kamatoy Radio Show.
Ten Twitter Tips, Successful and Unsuccessful
Examples with David Kamatoy and Morgan Westerman. Morgan Westerman
created one of the most successful viral videos of the internet and has
recently focused his energy on social media. In just a few short months
he has gathered about 25,000 followers on twitter. He is currently
working with entrepreneurs on best practices in sales conversion. He
can be followed @morganwesterman.
They rewarded dell followers by promoting refurbished gear specifically and have noted sales to prove it.
THE LESSON: They created a specific type of reward and message that was different from their other marketing. In tandem with the reality that most twitter followers will be a bit tech savvy purchasing online this was a good match.
The result would have been different if they didn't do the discounted and refurbished sales.
2. Steve Agee, The Sarah Silverman Project: Steve Agee comedian started off his twitter following by pulling off a stunt on Ustream.tv about reading all first 5,000 names live on air when he hit 5,000. He is currently at 863,420.
Really good example of someone in the public spotlight using that publicity to gather a following in a new genre. Dane Cook did it on myspace and now Steve Agee is doing it on twitter.
ENTERTAINER TIP: Remember that when your on a hit show or in the limelight. Use it to build your database. Anyone in this side of the business knows that you never know when your going to get your show canceled. In radio they often sell the station out from under you with very little rumbling. If they told you the advertisers would go away.
OWN YOUR OWN DATABASE AND GET THEM TO AM EMAIL LIST
4. Straight to Sales: Straight to SPAM! http://twitter.com/Wealth_Formula No Humanity This is perfect example of what does not work and will most likely be deleted as spam. Straight to a landing page with only one message. REALLY!!!
5. Good Porn Bad Porn: http://twitter.com/A_Dempsey While this may go straight to a porn link the good thing is the quotes and a varying message. Sneaky Porn Spam generally bad.
The Lessons: 1. Use a landing page as seen below. 2. Quotes can be quite useful if used correctly. Choosing quotes that are related to your subject matter and then either blogging about them or just reference them back to you is a good idea in creating an ideal emotion. 3. It's public people remember that journalists are now quoting "tweets".
THREE TWITTER TIPS
7. Customize your twitter page. I use Google's picassa to create a collage using pictures and logos. You have to play with the output settings to get it right but it's a great free application.
If you truly want to convert to sales or interactivity then you have to earn the respect of your followers through credibility. Therefore push content...
Blog postings- Like this one.
Press Releases-
Email Marketing: Jugglemail emails create unique URL's that can be easily posted onto twitter. We do it all the time with our press release emails.
Videos
Facebook
Other peoples content: rt someone elses tweet usually garners attention and is often reciprocated.
10. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery: Pay attention to who you and others pay attention to and then customize that style to your own.
BONUS Final Advice: Remember that ultimately you don't own your twitter,facebook or myspace profiles. They can be deleted at anytime for complaints, overuse, spam. To top it all off the parameters are constantly changing.
TIP: Covert to a real email and contact information as quickly as possible for real contacts.
We do this using the auto responders on our jugglemail system or just dropping them into the system upon approval.
David Kamatoy is a juggler both literally and figuratively. He hosts a show on Ustream.tv 2-5 pst on Entrepreneurship, Entertainment and Internet Marketing. As a co-founder of the email marketing brand jugglemail.com one of his goals is to share best practices on how to integrate social media, blogging email marketing with more traditional models. Join the email list to contact him directly.
The way we covered the Christian Hoff event is to me the future of the best use of some of internet technology that's available to us now.
Interviews and Excerpts that are important to a small group but done in an interesting way. Then posted to the internet using the current technology at hand.
At the same time I am able to connect with that niche group but through the power of networking you never know who is in that small group. I have seen it again and again that the raising of capital, the closing of a business deal, the distribution of a project starts with an introduction.
What we did was a notch up because of the kind of accounts that I have at youtube and viddler. I can post upgraded long form videos. I could have covered the same event by just snapping some photos, writing about it and maybe even use a flip phone but instead I used a baby canon HD camera and posted it in HD on youtube.
The video category is in the search engines is still a huge opportunity. We saw a few years ago that the video category would not just be about entertainment but about knowledge as well. FAQ's, How to's, podcasts, resume's are all being creating in a visual format as well as text.
The search engines are constantly looking for impressions and listings in separate categories of the web. At Kamatoy Media we mine blogs, video, news, mini-blogging which helps the main web search category.
The bad thing is that I have a mountain of video to go. While at the same time creating new and relevant material on the live streaming show
The hardest thing about the journey for me is to accept that every time we create something that I can see a better way to do it even with the limited resources that are available from event to event.
Anyway just some random thoughts on this whole SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERIENCE.
