This amazing revised and completely updated home study course was beta tested with accolades from fellow marketers, designers and home business entrepreneurs alike.
The Kamatoy Media Group is excited to be part of the production team. We will be shooting some additional footage for this product the weekend of December 12th, 2009.
The concept of this project is Ideal for those that are interested in Internet Entrepreneurship but want to save time and money on the LEARNING CURVE that is social media.
Even if you eventually delegate these processes away as an entrepreneur you know that value of getting your hands dirty and understanding the process.
Then came Hulu.com while other companies were trying to figure out how to make money doing it. Hulu.com just did it and grabbed market share and did it well setting the bar extremely high. Just visit the main networks video players and the interface is still not as consistent as Hulu's.
Then along came Vevo.com from Youtube & UMG according to a press release
Vevo is a music video premium site that has agreements with..
Sony
CBS Interactive
EMI's Labels
Astralwerks
Blue Note
Capitol
Virgin
Members of VEVO are creating player lists that they can share with other members.
Vevo has a way of giving musical artists and labels a bit more control over the brand and connection with the audience in social media way. Similar to the Hulu site by raising the bar to high quality programing and controlling content they are once again able to control a branding element.
YouTube will be paid for its technology and also will receive a small percentage of Vevo's ad revenue.
The numbers of impressions are important but so is the quality of the experience. So go check it out and let me know how it made you feel?
By the way I'm excited that Blue Note is on the table...
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.

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.

San Diego,CA-Burger Lounge is launching a FREE burger promotion today to it's twitter following.
Twitter followers were asked to follow @burger_lounge on twitter and prove that they followed by printing out proof.
My buddy at eCoronado told me about the promotion. As I sit here at the restarurant the people are pouring in. Proof that businesses cannot ignore Social Media.
By creating a memorable twitter promotion they are building there online presence and relationship with there following, by providing a "reward" for following they are creating clickability and credibility with their audience.
Burger Lounge is a hip natural Burger and Fry joint that has a healthy and natural spin. What's unique is that this restaurant is thriving and growing in spite of the recession.
My hypothesis is that they are satisfying the American Burger and Fry craving that fast-food is no longer satisfying. As we get older we realize just how nutritionally unsatisfying a fast food burger can be. That and add advertising to the fast food burger you can walkaway spending close to 10 bucks for a Fast-Food Meal.
Burger Lounge is fastly following the In and out model with a hip and satisfying upgrade.
Baby Boomers and Gen xers that are trying to save money can eat casually and somewhat healthy while satisfying the American Food Craving.
Gen xers and Gen Y and the the kids can experience the Same McDonalds craving in a healthier way. It's not a bad place for a teen-age date either without the intimidation or cost factor. Prices are median, service is casual, tipping is appreciative.
Congrats to Burger Lounge Team. Hopefully we can cover this on the show.
