MarketingDoOver Video Contest: The Instant Website Traffic Builder?
As things start to heat up among the voters and contestants, business owners and marketers who submit their entry to the contest on: http://www.marketingdoover.com have already secured a very cool prize. What prize?
Free Website Traffic
Alright, I’ll cut to the chase and reveal some insider information and a few secrets with you today. When you register as a contestant on MarketingDoOver, you first have to let the world know that the video is your submission for the contest on MarketingDoOver.com. After that, you have about 1 minute and 53 seconds to sell us and all of the voters on why YOU should be chosen as one of the grand prize winners.
That 1 minute and 53 seconds or so is VERY important. Not only are you telling the world why you should be one of the grand prize winners, but you can also share your website with everyone. And it gets even better!
Contestants are also given a box where they can write a paragraph on why people should vote for them.
I’m going to spill the beans here…
If I was eligible to enter this contest, I’d be making the most out of it every way I can: I would build a list.
Yes, you can even provide a link to your website - and we make the link to your website clickable. With the flood of voters and contestants coming in every hour, smart marketers see a hidden opportunity here.
Think about this…
Fellow marketers and business owners are going to be watching your video. Wouldn’t it be nice to attract new JV Partners or Affiliates? Wouldn’t it be nice to offer something useful to those people, like a free report or an ebook, and lead them to a squeeze page so you can get their email address?
Now obviously we do not want to turn MarketingDoOver into an advertising medium for marketers. However, here’s an idea of how you could make this work.
First, you want to create a video that really captivates your viewers. Make sure you provide a compelling reason on why you should be chosen as one of the grand prize winners. Next, you want to tell people what you do. Don’t try and “sell” people on your products or services, just “tell”.
In the box that appears next to your video that you can write a paragraph in, be sure to include your website address. (Make sure you add the http://www.) I’ve seen some videos and people forgot to add the “http://”, so people will not be able to click on their website.
And finally, offer something of value to those who are watching your video. You could say something like this at the end of your video:
“… and that’s why I should be chosen for one of the grand prize winners at MarketingDoOver.com! Now, I’m going to trust you here. I’m giving away a free report on the top 10 ways to drive traffic to your website to those people who give me a BIG vote. Just click on my website address in the box next to my video and I’ll trust that you gave me a 10 and I’ll give you the report. *Smile* Thanks for your vote and I hope you have a great day!”
So let’s look at this…
- The first 8 seconds of your video is the little blurb that you need to say in the beginning. (Register as a contestant to learn more.)
- The next one minute and 32 seconds is for you to sell us, the voters, and other contestants on why you should be one of the grand prize winners. What would a complete business makeover do for you?
- The final 20 seconds can be used to offer something of value to those who are watching your video. This can help find new JV partners, affiliates, build your lists, and well… yes… find new customers.
Understand the final 20 seconds here is totally optional. You do not have to do this, and either way it will not effect your score or odds of winning. But I just couldn’t help myself. I wanted to share this tip with you today because I know if I could enter this contest, I’d be doing everything in the world to market my MarketingDoOver link to the world to get more votes.
Oh, and yes… MarketingDoOver contestants get their own special link that directs potential contestants and voters to MarketingDoOver. After someone registers, they’ll easily be able to access and vote on your video.
Remember… we are keeping track of EVERYTHING. Internally, we know how many voters and contestants you refer to your video. And yes, that does play a big roll on your overall score.
So make sure you share your MarketingDoOver link with the world after you submit your video. You should spend time everyday sharing your link with everyone you can. This contest can really change your life. It can change everything. This is huge.
Yes, it’s really that big
OK, so my wife just walked by as I made the text above this bold. That was awkward and I had some explaining to do… Where were we. Oh…
Being in the thick of things here, and personally knowing all of the marketers who will be providing you with a complete business makeover, I know how life-changing this will be for you. (Yes, I’ll be there too… but you actually have no idea who I am, so that part doesn’t really matter then I guess…)
Collectively, we’ve sold tens of millions of dollars of products on the Internet in many, many different markets. We know what it takes to take businesses to new levels. And we want to take your business to the next level. Are you ready? Enroll as a contestant to get started and upload your video.
We’ll SEE you there!
