I was browsing through my Facebook account today, as I usually do multiple times a day, and I found a video by Dan Stojadinovic who had tagged me. So I got right into it and was amazed by finding Dan’s presenting the 14 DVD and CD home study package he has created during the last HypeFree bootcamp in Tampa (October 2009).
Quite a package of information and what’s most amazing is that one of the DVD is based on my presentation on Twitter marketing strategies that I delivered at the HypeFree bootcamp. It has been my third official presentation in English to a vast audience that was paying to listen to me.
The very funny thing is that I had been participating to the previous edition of the HypeFree bootcamp (Tampa January 2009) as an attendee and there I learned for the first time about Twitter and its importance in building a presence online. All the three stage presentations I did in the US afterwards were a direct result of me participating to that first event.
And I will be on the stage again in Tampa with Dan on January 13th, 2010, for delivering a one day seminar on Twitter marketing exactly one year after I first heard about Twitter. Read the rest of this entry »
Some people complain about the Web violating their privacy and they fear other people will take advantage of their personal information. Well, if you don’t want something to be found by other you should just never put on the Web.
Facebook and other similar sites are not conceived to contain all kind of personal and private information. They exist solely for the purpose of facilitating communication amongst people and reconnect individuals who have lost sight of each other. So think again before you publish some kind of funny information or video about yourself, because no matter how you will protect it, somebody will sooner or later get to it and make it public. What you put on the Internet is going to be there forever and it’s probably going to be copied in multiple places.
Let's leave it at that - ne considerate in what you publish on line
What is on the Web is the information that will affect most markedly how people will perceive you. Almost everybody, today, checks your name on Google before doing business with you or simply developing an acquaintance. You need to be there, otherwise other people will publish information about you and you don’t want to be “branded” through the words and actions of others. Yet consider carefully the effect you want to obtain with everything you publish, particularly video which is viewed by many, many people.

Chris Krimitsos gives advice on where to upload your video during a panel at the Hypefree Internet Markerting bootcamp by Dan Stojadinovic in Tampa.
In the video I enclose in this post, Chris Krimitsos, the King of video copy, gives some suggestions on where to place the videos you want to share and how to do it. Facebook has also a video sharing function you can use, but make sure you keep your videos short: Facebook allows up to 20 minutes per video and you should never go past 5 per video. If you really have a long story, break it up in parts. You can also just simply link inside Facebook a video that has been uploaded to Youtube, even automaticcaly. Just make sure it is the right video
That’s the key advice I got from the King of video copy, Chris Krimitsos, during the recent Hypefree Internet marketing bootcamp in Tampa. Content is a driving force for any Internet activity and video is by far the most effective way to attract attention and to generate traffic. How do you produce an attractive video? Don’t script it, take the footage from curious situations in real life as they come to you “the moment they come to you”.

If you are slow on the draw you’ll never really have good footage. This means that you should be packing a portable camcorder with you all the time. Some people prefer the Flip camera, it is fairly inexpensive and very easy to use. The King suggests to use a Sony HD camera. Whatever you use, the trick is to be alert to the moment and capture it as soon as it happens. People love freshness and reality and you should aim at shooting it right the first time with no editing.
If you get into this frame of mind you will create some very engaging content that will sound live and direct. The ability to capture it right the first time will also allow you to record events that would not repeat themselves, as they happen and where they happen.
You can create the situation by involving others and the perfect time to create footage is during events, where you meet very different characters and they are all more willing to participate. In this blog I am showing you a short video of Chris and several other attendees with Halloween costumes at the bootcamp in Tampa. This is an example of getting it while it is hot!
Some time ago I posted an article titled “What you know is less important than who you know” (http://robertomazzoni.com/business-tips/what-you-know-is-less-important-than-who-you-know). I commented on the fact that specialized knowledge, while being very important, will not bring anywhere if you don’t have the right connections and the people who can support you.

Now my viewpoint has been refined further because somebody brought to my attention the fact that “it’s who knows you that makes the difference”.
Eight months ago I attended to Dan Stojadinovic Internet Marketing and JV bootcamp in Tampa. I had just arrived in the US from Italy with all my family and was curious to find out how to better implement my real estate business and my networking in the US using the Web in the “American style”. That event was packed with information I have an extensive background in computers as well as Internet usage and I understood that I couldn’t implement just everything. Dan insisted on focusing on implementation and not on the technical details and he also suggested to implement one thing at a time, not try to do it all at once.
Twitter can "put you on the map" whatever you know about the Web and social media.
So I choose Twitter: it was the first presentation and it was something totally new for me. I decided this was going to be a good way for developing a new presence on the Web in the following months while crrying along all my other activities. Eight months later here I am with more than 65,000 followers on my main Twitter account (twitter.com/robertomazzoni) and I have just held a formal 100 minutes presentation at the same bootcamp with more than 200 other investors and entrepreneurs who have paid to come there and listen to me and other Internet Marketing experts.
