Gadzooks!
I've got an incredible contest with big prizes to tell you about. But first, a quick update...
It really is insane over here. Over 30,000 entrepreneurs have downloaded The Doctrine Part 2 already, there's been over 7,300 downloads of the interview I did with Gary Vaynerchuk, and more and more blogs are linking to us by the hour.
To top things off, the phone has been ringing non-stop, the emails are flooding in and we've even had a few curious readers show up at our offices. The pressure has been so intense we've even lost a few staff members.
That's because to stay ahead of the curve we've been putting in crazy hours. Even a few all-nighters.
Anyway, late last night… while chowing on delivered pizza with the crew, Alan had an idea…
We needed to do something special to motivate readers of The Doctrine to actually take action on what we've already gone over.
Ken suggested we hold a contest with some killer prizes.
Anna and Lauren thought it should revolve around video based on the incredible excitement about The Gary Vaynerchuk interview.
So we all decided - Let's make it a video contest. Here’s why…
I am so impressed by what Gary achieved using social media, and I know many of you can do something similar - except for one thing. Can you guess what that is?
You've got to get STARTED!
So here's my best effort to ethically bribe you to start creating videos...
A Video Contest With Killer Prizes!
We’re giving away FOUR Grand Prize Packages (so there will be FOUR winners).
The four Grand Prize winners will get:
VIP Access To Rich Schefren & Jay Abraham Seminar

- Grand Prize Package Prize 1 0f 4: VIP Access to Rich Schefren
and Jay Abraham Seminar
A VIP Access pass to attend a private seminar with me -- and my mentor Jay Abraham -- in Orlando, Florida.
(Think about it: Jay's marketing strategies create more mavens than anyone else on the planet. Bar none. Plus, I've built businesses for more mavens than anyone else on the planet. Together we're the maven-making dream team. That's why it'll be pricey, it'll sell out, and it'll happen just one time.)
Entry to 5-Day Strategic Profits Live! In Orlando, Florida

- Grand Prize Package Prize 2 0f 4: Free Entry to Strategic Profits Live!
Conference
Plus each Grand Prize winner’s VIP pass will give them entry to the entire 5-day Strategic Profits Live! event in Orlando, including a room in a top Disney hotel.
Free Copy Of Business Acceleration² Program

- Grand Prize Package Prize 3 0f 4: Business Acceleration Program
A free copy of my soon-to-be-released home-study course, the Business Acceleration Program…
$1,000 Cash

- Grand Prize Package Prize 4 0f 4: $1,000 Cash
And for good measure, I’ll throw in $1,000… just for spending money.
It will be your chance to get your 15 minutes of fame (just like Andrea and that crazy Belgian Winston).
You'll help me by spreading the word about The Doctrine, and you'll play a key role in making marketing more friendly.
Plus, you'll have honed your chops with a new valuable skill. You’ll be able to do Web 2.0 videos anytime you want… and leverage them (like our $50 million friend Gary has) for your own business growth.
And that’s really the point of this contest, to start USING what we've been talking about in The Doctrine 2.
What I want you to do is create a video to tell the world about your biggest “ah-ha” moment (or moments) from reading The Doctrine Part 2…
But there’s a catch: You have to deliver your entire message in just 66 seconds… Yes, you read that correctly: 66 seconds.
And 60 seconds is the maximum time you can spend on your Doctrine Part 2 video summary…
So, what about the other six seconds?
Well that’s for your "call to action" to get viewers to check out The Doctrine 2 right away.
To put it more simply:
Create a 60 second video summary of the biggest takeaways you got from The Doctrine Part 2…
Then take the extra six seconds to get viewers to claim their own copy of The Doctrine at www.strategicprofits.com/doctrinenew
You can create your video message any way you choose… Do a sock puppet show, shout it out loud, create an animated talking lizard, use your kids, or just be yourself. Just be passionate and get creative!
And, oh yes, your 15 minutes of fame...
This is your big chance to piggyback on my attention while turning others on to The Doctrine 2! (we're getting over 3,000 unique visitors a day to the blog alone)
Here's why: We’re going to post your video on our blog. Then we'll send a mailing to our list of over 150,000 subscribers asking them to come to the blog to vote on the videos.
Once the votes are in, We'll have a vote here at the office - and we'll combine the results and announce one Grand Prize winner from EACH of these categories:

- Most Humorous… Most Informational… Most Compelling…. Most OUTRAGEOUS…
Remember, the four Grand Prize winners will EACH get:
- A VIP Access pass to attend a private seminar with me, Rich Schefren… and my mentor Jay Abraham… in Orlando, Florida.
- (We're the maven making dream team. That's why it'll be pricey, it'll sell out, and it'll happen just one time. But you'll be our VIP guest, including the entire 5-day event and a room in a top Disney hotel.)
- A free copy of my soon-to-be-released home study course, the Business Acceleration Program…
- And for good measure, I’ll throw in $1,000… just for kicks.
But that’s not all…
SUPER GRAND PRIZE - Las Vegas Networking Trip

- SUPER GRAND PRIZE: Las Vegas Networking Trip
There will be one SUPER GRAND PRIZE winner chosen from the top four videos… that in addition to the prizes above…will be going to Las Vegas for a fun-filled long weekend of gambling, partying and high-level networking with our top five affiliates from our multi-phase launch. You’ll get everything you need to party like a rock star, including air fare from any US city.
(think about the networking you can do - we're talking about my top 5 affiliates - men and women responsible for selling millions of dollars worth of my products!)
Sound like fun? I think so…
Are you game for this challenge? We’ll find out soon enough…
The Rules
I've posted the rules and all the details you need to know on a separate page you can access below:
Click to access "66 Seconds Video Contest" rules.
The contest officially begins now.
Ladies and Gentlemen start your engines...
100s of you will get your 15 minutes of fame.
4 of you will win the grand prize. And...
1 lucky winner will win it all and develop the contacts to birth an 8 figure business overnight.
To higher profits,
Rich Schefren
P.S. So what do you think about our video contest? Have any ideas that would make it even better? Are you going to post a video? Post a comment now and let me know.

Hey Rich!
Pick Me…
i’m so motivated people can feel my energy a few meters away!
and if you want a base in switzerland / europe then i’m definately your choice
to your belief and success,
Edward
ps: and you’re always welcome to come over and borrow my chalet in the alps for some skiing / snowboarding ( check out the resort here: http://www.leukerbad.ch )
Congrats Rich,
Yet another great marketing idea!
Count me in.
Hey Rich,
I been going through courses with AWAI, and been in trying to market on line for a while now with not much luck. But love your stuff and have been following it as much as I can.
After 15 years in the mortgage business and that taking a dump… it’s about time I jump in this business 100%. Having a GREAT guru like you in my corner would be the best thing that could ever happen to my family and me. Who ever wins this is going to be the luckiest person in the whole world. Pick me! ;]
Michael, Read your blog note to Rich, and that you are coming from the mortgage business. Have you checked
out the Money Merge Account from United First Financial yet–a web-based software in its 3rd iteration which teaches mortgage holders, commercial and residential, how to pay off their mortgages in 1/3 to 1/2 the time with
no more monthly expenses, using existing banking tools much smarter.
I became an Agent last June, and am learning how to market the MMA over the internet. Would love to have some company. Check out the corporate website,
http://www.unitedfirstfinancial.com and my website
http://www.U1stFinancial.net/DavidNWright
801-836-0619 dnwrightdmd@comcast
Agents are paid a compensation modeled after the insurance industry, and it is very lucrative. It has revived many a mortgage broker business.
It looks as if you have a Utah phone # and you’re talking about not having any company in the business? I’m in Oregon hooked up with folks in Nevada that are exploding with UFirst by using automated lead generating and GoToMeeting to work with recruits and clients across the country. Let me know if you want to know who’s doing what.
Gee,
I am not motivated by anything you say. You are a con man. Take me and make me a believer. You can separate people from their money by polishing turds and trying to pass them off as rare gems, but they are still turds.
We will do something ethical that is not polishing turds. If we can do that and make money then I will be a believer, unwise it is lies by an unethical pathalogical liar.
So much for your contest and your promises. I even have an MBA so I am not as stupid uninformed as people who read this junk and somehow believe a word you say.
maybe you should spend your time doing all the other stuff to boost your on line business income like, SEO work on your site(s), polishing your copy writing and, dare I say, people skills. None of Rich’s materials are mandatory reading.
Just a thought as you are obviously motivated by other things.
Mark
Hello my guy.
You seem upset by a so awesome work that move +150.000 busy guys around the world, and make them give their attention… even MBA owners like me - too.
I don’t know much about you, but i just have a question: What’s your bottom line ?
Or maybe, the objective of this post was to get our attention?! If yes, great! you got it.
Be awesome.
Armel - from Paris.
OH WOW!
yeah that’s what I call an ATTENTION Getter!
So you did read something HUH!
Learned something too………… it seems like!
You learn that in MBA school? or somewhere else……lol
Hey Ralph,
Nice approach but, with a MBA it is “unwise” not to edit; “otherwise” it was great.
db
You’re an idiot… I highly doubt you have an MBA, unless you belong to the master bastard association. Your negavtive outlook without a doubt is hindering your success. If you could lose the attitude, you might have a better chance at enjoying this business. Just my 2 cents!
Thank you in advance for describing yourself in such great detail. . . have you viewed http://www.strategicprofits.com/download/mindmaps/mmap-jay_abraham-im_super_summit.pdf yet?
The comment from Ralph Dreifus shows his heart is in the right place. As long as his head follows it he should do fine. Question. How can someone acheive a MBA, without the ability to express himself in a manner consistant with that designation? Is this person simply being lazy or are his lack of writing skills his worse attribute?
Just a pet peeve of mine…
Did they teach you to proofread your submissions as part of getting your MBA? You are so far up on your horse that you can’t hear anything from the ground!
Hello Rich
like to come network and all.
You may find a need for our original ecomugs,I’m going to put you’re logo on one and mail it to you.
Meanwhile working on video to win.
Kirk Meyer
Always looking for more advice…
Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Victor
This is a great idea. Before I read this I had brought my video camera to my office yesterday. I did a little work on editing my son in his school play and now I am ready to make my first video. I am a clinical psychologist and I feel that video is my best medium. I have done about 40 or so TV interviews before as well as numerous public presentations. I have tried to use local TV news to get me the same exposure, but the video blog is easier, gives me more control, and I can do it without lobbying the local TV news to get me on. So, here I go.
Thanks for the idea.

All I can say right now is…. watch what I do with this contest…
it will be unlike any other contest you’ve ever seen.
Those of you who participate are going to benefit more than you could ever imagine.
Oh, I am so anxious to tell you about it, but everyone in the office made me promise to keep quiet for a while…
back to writing your mapping report,
rich
Thank you !
Doug
Thank you for your kind offering!

Hi Kevin
You could do wiht looking at the copy and the layout of your websites as a starting point. i had a look at Golf TV and there are a few points I can suggest for you.

i need to make the internet work for me - i have been doing video for 3 years http://www.TourismTV.co.uk
Kevin
Wow!
That’s a challenge and a half - first thing, go buy a video camera.. I’m off to the shops; see ya!
Carol
Excellent contest. The thing I really like about it, other than the prize, is that it is going to get people to do something that they haven’t done before. It is going to broaden their skills and move them out of the comfort zone. Very cool even if you don’t win the big loot. So that just means I have to figure out how to use the web cam on my MacBook. Never had a reason to before now…
Great idea. High value, low cost prizes.
Lots of free publicity.
Lots of free content given to you.
We don’t have to take the course to learn how to implement the Attention Age principles.
Thanks for this.
Hungry for more attention I see, great way of making thousands of individuals promote the Doctrine through social media trends.
Well, I wish you the best and hope it’s massive.
I’ve got your OUTRAGEOUS contestant for you ——>>>>
I’M FINALLY GOING TO BE FAMOUS!!!
Thanks in advance Rich!
Everyone who was considering the OUTRAGEOUS category, forgettaboutit because I got it locked up! Go be funny or compelling instead…
go check out my latest blog post where I am letting a select few OUTLAWpreneurs in on my
MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HEIST…
we are HIJACKING DELL COMPUTER’S XMAS advertising campaign!
http://www.Linkedin-Entrepreneurs.com
ttys Rich!
p.s. you are my favorite guru bar NONE! you are the only one who delivers truly leading edge solid content. LOVE THAT!
~Victory
I better get with the program aye, Don’t have a web cam or a video recorder as of yet
Put it on my Xmas wish list..
Good Luck to everyone, should be fun to see what comes out of it, heaps of Entertainment at the very least I’m sure..
Someone is going to be a Very Lucky Soul.. (4, I should say)
Cheers, Dianne in NZ
P.S.
As for Ralph’s Comment, Calling all of us “Stupid” for following what Rich has to say, You don’t need an MBA to know who to listen to for very obvious reasons…
* And we are far from stupid doing so! Thanks!
And if Rich can’t motivate you, well..what can I say?
Merry xmas Ralph! & “Tis the season to be Jolly” not an ass!
I’ll start out by saying, I don’t ever expect to get an answer to this message.
I thought the Doctrine 2 was really well written, and quite convincing, but over blown. The information wasn’t really NEW or even fresh, but the presentation was nice. Basically it was a 93 page self promotion. The whole thing was a sales letter! Nothing NEW there. You’ll get my support when there are no more hooks, and you provide something educational, of real value, without smoke & mirrors. “Come on down.”!
This is for all the MAVENS, HUCKSTERS, and CON ARTISTS that want to fleece whomever they can get to read their self absorbed garbage. You take their money, time, energy & and give less than NOTHING in return, you are worse than thieves.
Get yourself a mirror, strike that coy marketing pose, and sell yourself on becoming human. Sell something of value.
hey MOOCHY,
do you successfully sell anything on the web?
probably not.
anyone who would waste their time to come here and spout off like you isn’t very busy with their business.
#1 this is a freakinfenominal opportunity for any internet marketer
#2 Rich’s Manifesto and Doctrine were the two most solid reports that this industry has seen, ever!
If it didn’t lead up to him promoting himself or an event, then he really wouldn’t be a marketer/guru/consultant at all.
Should he have released this document signed “Anonymous”???
~V
Victory,
Perhaps I was off the mark with my comments, and there is some fulfilling and meaningful information out there. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to see a coherent, step by step blueprint that would enable a rank beginner like me to create his desire in a reasonable time frame. If you or Rich have such a plan, I’m sure that the 96% of all IM’s that fail would throw their $$$$$$$ at you. Since you both have such expertise, put your money where your mouth is to create such a product. Allow us dummies to get into the game and then really make some serious CASH. The more the merrier!
Bring us all along & you won’t be able to count the money. Never mind, I’ll do it myself. Everybody in this world deserves to have these tools all in one place, and get a real product that is complete and works. TALK ABOUT A MAVEN…………
ps Nice Picture, you coy devil.
Hang tight, M00chy,
I’m working on something that’s meant to do EXACTLY that because I’ve found it exasperating that my peers haven’t DONE exactly that.
Sometimes, I’ll pay $7-$27 for a new ebook, full well knowing that it’s going to be 99% fluff, just because I know how to mine 1 or 2 good ideas from it and then combine them with ideas I already use to make more powerful results.
But I don’t buy the book thinking that the book will have some kind of amazing solutions. The last 2 I bought were utter garbage.
The thing with my peers is that what they create, at their higher level, is only 85% fluff, so the average marketer thinks they’re getting something extra special and lords over the marketer. Like when people call firemen, police and military - HEROES. And those people readily admit, “Hey, we’re just doing our job…”
Well, these marketers aren’t heroes, or great, or awesome, or even generous. They’re marketing, and you should really know that by now. They’re not here to save you. They’re not here to enlighten you or to make you a better person but they will talk about those things in order to keep you on the ropes.
You, or someone else, was absolutely right when they said that if my peers really wanted to wow the world and get their message out, they’d take their 5-10 most die-hard skeptics and show them how it’s done. Then they’d have a big mouth, blowhard, successful joint venture partner for life.
Why haven’t they figured this out yet?
It’s too big a risk and plenty of cash is already coming in. I guess you get thrown to the wolves, M00chy. But keep your eyes opened anyways. I really do understand what you need.
Sam
M00chy,
your idea of transforming your skeptics sounds great. Maybe Sam will take you on. Personally I run a small operation and have a waitlist of new projects and clients. I have the luxury to only work with people I know I can help in a big way and that I’d enjoy working with. It’s taken me years to get to this place in life, mostly a perspective shift to value quality of life over money, although because of it, I now make even more money! This comes down to Rich’s “do what you love so you can be the best at it” idea. With my clients, success is guaranteed or they don’t pay. In that way I have no dissatisfied clients.
you said, “Bring us all along & you won’t be able to count the money. Never mind, I’ll do it myself. Everybody in this world deserves to have these tools all in one place, and get a real product that is complete and works. TALK ABOUT A MAVEN…”
Sounds like a great start for the next underdog I.M. champion. You could be the next Yaro Starak. Oops, guess you’d need Rich for that. Anyway, you’ve got something there.
Hey Sam Freedom,
your “Internet Marketing Controversy Blog” is really great. But I’m willing to bet you’re hiding behind your uncle sam animation in your contest video.
I bet you won’t show us your real face!
If you are the real savior of the I.M. wannabe then come out from behind that mask.
-Victory
Hi Victory,
I’m going to try to be nice to you since it seems to me you’re just a little more than naive.
First, I wasn’t serious about making a video. If you read my prior comments, you should have understood. Second, you’re not in high school any more where taunting someone to do something unless they want to appear to be “chicken” might have once worked.
Third, this “hiding” is what someone more understanding than you would call “branding.” In fact, just this month, I got 25 more links to my blog without even trying (the 25 isn’t the big part, it’s the “without even trying”).
Fourth, being a public figure might seem awesome to the star-struck wanna-be’s who almost always leap before they look but when your goal is “financial freedom” and you seek to maximize the results of your efforts, appearing in videos and playing savior aren’t necessary.
Fifth, “IM Savior” was your choice of words but if we use your rationale, then it would be up to the savior as to what time and place to appear and not your novice ass. I believe even Jesus, when asked, “Are you King of the Jews?” replied along the lines of, “That’s what they call me.”
If IM Savior is what you want to call me, then so be it.
Lastly, Victory, if you can pull yourself up out of the high school level taunting and have issue with something I’ve said, in particular, then tell me what that is so that we may discuss the facts together, in order that any who wish, for themselves, may then verify.
Truth be told, victory, if you keep up that kind of silly taunting, I might recommend you get an alias of your own. Then you can work towards presenting issues that can be intelligently discussed while you make your silly mistakes.
Best regards,
Sam
It is a great idea just like all your other ones. Rich you are the greatest. I just wish I could participate but I am not into videos yet. Perhaps later when I can get over the wrinkles cracking the camera. Things are looking up for me tho. I finally got my pages listed and available for my viewers. A great accomplishment for a young 85 year old lady. I will work on my autoresponder this afternoon. I will get this thing off the ground, you will see. I didn’t know what JV was. Shows you how ignorant I was. I am learning. I wish I could participate in your game. I know I could learn a lot from you. Anyway I will be praying for the other ones who participate. And for you too Rich. God bless you.
Mary
hey Mary!
wow! 85! my mom is 55 and says she’s too old for this whole web thing!
I just checked out your site, great start.
you misspelled slightly, that’s why your link doesn’t work
(griswoldenterprise.com)
congrats on taking action!
V.
I just want to say that you inspired me!
Thank you!
ps I am 51
Hey Mary - you’d be surprised at how many people would love to see you in person on a video. It’s really easy. Just ask a neighbor’s kid or maybe your grandchildren to help you set it up.
Never to late to be a ‘movie-star’~

Rich,
I don’t even have video equipment, but I’m not about to let that stop me. I plan on having a video ready, one way or another by Saturday.

Got any dog bones or crumes for unemployed, poor people, with computers that can not do video? I know, no pay , no play. Being disabled sucks. Good luck with your program. It sounds like a winner.

Hi Rich:
I’ve done everything under the sun on the internet but never profit one dime from any of it. Your game plan sounds really good but I have an idea. Why don’t you take a few nobodys and help make them somebodys (like me) and I’ll bet your business will triple after proving that can happen in real life. Thanks.
In response to the negative comments so far.
Even if you don’t like what Rich says/thinks/does/dreams look at the opportunity you are getting for exposure.
First of all, you are allowed a url link back from this blog - a few words in exchange for Google Lurvvvv. (Read the bit in the Doctrine about transactions).
Secondly, you have a mega incentive to make a video. If you don’t win, so what? You will gain valuable experience and improve yourself.
This is a great piece of indirect teaching to reinforce the themes in the book.
No video = No future.
Something I learned from the Next Internet Millionaire. Watch all the entries and choose your own 4 winners. If you match the final result then you’ve got it made - you understand what kind of videos get people’s attention. If you are completely wrong look at the 4 winners closely and see what it is that makes them appealing.
Above all, learn from this competition. Don’t be jealous. Don’t be envious. Just learn.
Martin
P.S. If my video doesn’t do well I’m going to have egg on my face. Still, video mavens have to start somewhere.
Sadly there is “no follow” in the text of this blog and thus the links won’t be followed. Thus this blog won’t “boost” your link rankings.
As much as I would like to participate, alas I’m deaf and usually that doesn’t work well for video (plus the fact I don’t have a video camera either - probably because of that!). Video great for some things, but to me, alas it just the same - nothing but silence.
Robert - I have a great idea for you! You can make a video with pictures as a slide show and use text over and in-between the pictures and graphics. You don’t have to use sound at all. If you ask me… That’s pretty darn COMPELLING!
There is a whole, huge, fantastic market of other deaf people who would love to watch videos that are made just for them!
What an amazing opportunity.
God Bless,
~Schelli
PS - btw, the links do work. I checked them out.
Hey All,
What a great project and contest.
It takes everything you learn and puts it into action immediately.
I have been using web 2.0 and consulting people on it for a long time now, and it flat out works.
The whole attraction marketing, and getting people to connect with you because they like what you stand for is worth its weight in gold anytime over just pitching someone…
It takes trust, and it takes adding value to people’s lives, making a contribution…
then they will come banging on your door….it’s not about hype at all…it’s just plugging into the latest trends and staying grounded in who you are…
And showing people what you got baby!
Take care,
Scott
Right on Martin…
It all starts with attitude and personal development.
It takes a lot of work to become someone who can be a teacher AND a continuous student…
I’ve been doing business for over 15 years, and I have always remained a student…
Every top Internet Marketer is always learning…
Never being “too” much of a know it all…
It goes back to the keeping that tea cup empty enough for new knowledge to flow in…
I have been doing fantastic online selling a high ticket item utilizing these tactics….and they work, if you just take action…
Cheers,
Scott
If your serious - then yes, show me what you know and I’ll tell the world.
Thank you in advance

I put together a couple of videos in response to a contest called the Next Internet Millonaire from Joel Comm and it’s AMAZING what has happened to me since then. Even though I didn’t win that contest, the exposure has created so much traffic and opportunities for my GutZy Women business! In fact tons of people find me on their DVD screens very soon!
I’m a woman AND close to 55 AND wasn’t exactly well known in the internet world but I saw the future and the future is in promotions like this. Ladie’s…don’t back down, you’re never too old! (I must say it is a bit tough to see the wrinkles in the camera as well:)
The way I see it…Rich makes some statements in his report #2 that have proven true for me, so instead of taking his word for it, try some of his strategies, then decide for yourself. Get your flip video camera and GET GOIN’!
It’s a good thing I bought myself an early Christmas present! A brand new camcorder!
http://www.forexstrategysecrets.com
Hey Rich,
Do remember a place called “NightTown” ? Down the street from Case.
A 66 second video… looking forward to it, just long enough to hold your breath.
db
My video will start out with a hobo sneeking onto a freight train. Inside the boxcar he finds a video camera a nd a printed out version of Doctrine #2.
As the train pulls into its destination this same hobo gets off wearing a suit & tie. Moral? “go from rags to riches using the power of print.”
Can I collect my prize now???
MY MAN, Rich, fabulous contest. Maybe some of the other Mavens will take your lead and give something away, it’s not like they can’t afford it.
I hate to admit it but I’m a terrible salesman, and worse actor, so I would settle for the list of 150,000 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
When you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by trying- by all means try. (W Clement Stone)
Count me in
Duane
P.S. I don’t have a video camera either
Well… I just don’t know… a video huh? Things dreams are made of; to wish and dream of greatness, but you do not get anywhere with out some elbow grease.
I have enjoyed what I have read of the Web marketing 2.0. and can really related to the capturing of people’s attentions. I work in a fast pace kinda place with people always talking on cell phones while you are trying to get a word in else wise.
Having received and saved a good many of your e-mails, I find that your values and tips have been very useful at times. You can be long winded in some of your messages, but it only adds a personal feeling to your messages. Now if I could just get some personal coaching, I know I’d be in a whole new ball game.
Keep up the good work and remember what Zig Ziglar says, “Your word is your bond, if your word is no good, eventually you’re no good”.
Now when can I receive all these wonderful prizes?
Peace be with you .

Fantastic idea! I’ve planned for all my future sites to feature video anyway, so this is a great way to get started with a fantastic incentive and some promotion on a high trafficked blog?!
Thanks Rich, can’t wait to see your Roadmap too!
Now, this is interesting. It’s like the Gmail Video campaign thingy but this time its going to go steroids viral
I’m interested to see what I can come up with for the video… I’d probably have to squashed my brains out for ideas now…
No guarantees but I’ll try.

My whole primary goal is to get more exposure on the net! To be seen is the beginning, the rest is up to me! If you guys can come through here, it will be a Godsend! The people skills I laready have, the upline support I am, but I need good people to work with and this is the hardest to find! Exposure = people! I know there are some good ones just waiting to meet me, so let’s cook this!

OMG- Maybe Rich should be moderating a little more..
Last comment from DogPoo (aptly named) was totally uncalled for…
Attacking people personally will not do you any favours! (NZ spelling there)….
“Only allow optimism and no other negative feeling to rule your life. Negative energy will neutralize what you are
trying to achieve.”
~Great Quote from Stephen Pierce~
And no I am not a nosy moderator.. just felt I had to say something…

On ya Dianne…I agree.
Go Rich!
Sounds like a great way to give the little fish a chance. I’m in… thou it’ll have to be a video from the beach as the weather is starting to crank up over here now.
I would love the opportunity to leave hubby home with the littlies while I jet set to the US and “crack it” on the net… mind you its not all about the $$ now is it? don’t get me wrong I’d love to be making a heap of cash, having freedom of choice and not struggling to keep my head above water - I imagine sharing with other like minded individuals that this is the real deal and not some young punk whistling dixie…grin, just ribbing ya, I’ve been following you online for quite some time and admire you and the information you provide, there should be more genuine people out there and less scams.

Richard,
I need a prize. I was just in the middle of making a video and accidently smacked my mobile phone off the table when I was perfoming a victory dance. Don’t allow this to ruin my chances. You would and everyone would have voted this as a top video.
I am on my knees typing. Please offer me a prize. I won’t get up untill this is confirmed. By the way Rich I might have to take the occassional breaks to implement what I read in the doctrine.
Make my new project a success Richard I really do deserve a prize.
Wow … talk about being in the right place at the right time! I just learned how to upload a video to YouTube and then feature it on my website. Sure glad I did that BEFORE I read about this contest … shortens the super-steep learning curve for me just a little.
Now to go learn how to put a link to this on my page … ciao for now!

I am naturally very interested. Unfortunately, I am totally tied down at home due to unavoidable circumstances.
I simply can not participate in these types of events, as much as I would like to.
Thank you any way for asking.
Hey Rich,
Fantastic Momentum Champ,
You really are pouring your heart and soul into your 150,000 subscribers…… Something for everyone and many choices to make…..
But u always get everyone thinking and expanding on their current situation….. Great stuff !!
As for Mr Ralph with the MBA, are you sure this guy is a member of your staff Rich…… He seems to chime in immediately on all of these blog posts to stir up the pot…..
I think you need to do a special on Ralph Mouth and interview him for your Buisness Success Owners and Strategies……. He sounds like the type of guy that we should all pay attention to…. That is if he even had something for all us and the 150,000 people who love your work Rich !!
Looking forwar dto seeing how Ralph is going to help each and everyone of us with his MBA and Go getter attitude !!!
Anyway until that time Rich you are the man and I love the last 2 x weeks of Info that you havce released for FREE !!
Very helpful indeed the Doctrine 2….. look forward to checking out the videos by your subscribers……
Have a great day : )

hi Rich
I am from my Greece and my English are not perfect. However I believe that this will not be a problem. I believe that what you make is amazing and i would like to participate very match. Think the prospects that it would have in Greece.
Wow, great idea Rich! You are definitely putting your ideas to work and grabbing our attention.
I’ve been starting to use video on various sites of mine and I had actually just wrote a book called “Harness the Power of Web” about web-based strategies that can help explode your business. Video was definitely one of them, as was social networking. I’m also creating a couple of membership sites that are primarily video-based, and am encouraging all of my clients to start using video to grab attention, leverage time, and build stronger relationships with there audience.
Can’t wait to post my video here and continue learning from you. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the motivator and the challenge! Watch out for my video - it’ll be my very first and I don’t even have a camera!

Quick Question Rich….
Can we do videos that are promotional either really funny or super cool that will get you a lot of clicks that will be related to the doctrine and Strategic Profits or do they have to have to include our own ahas, insights or point of views.

I’m interested in working with you.

Hey Everybody
(I’m not yelling, that’s southern for Hi.)
I’ve veen busy planning my video, My biggest problem so far is how to get enough into just 66 seconds!
As far as the negative commenters (and comments about them) are concerned, let me give you a quote from a TV show of several years ago when I watched TV.
“You know those voices in your head? Don’t answer them. That’s what they want you to do.” Dharmas Dad on Dahrma and Greg
All these people do is drain your positive power - if you let them. Ignore them and they’ll go away.
Rich strikes again. I loved the doctrine 2, but actually got just as much insight from your interview with Gary. We’ve been working with video for a short time, but it has to be one of the greatest additions to any website or marketing campaign.
We’re taking your call to action and implementing it with some of our consulting clients, and helping launch the idea of online video in our local business community.
I’m working on a video right now for you.

P.S. I’m a 22 year old marketing consultant in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I loved what Gary said about the cream rising to the top through the internet. If you create enough quality content you can become a maven whether you’re 22 or 82.
I’ve created a video with some tips I’ve used in the last couple of days that will be useful for all potential mavens out there.

In it I show how I got to the top of google for the term sports nutrition video in less than 2 hours.
I was amazed,
IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN

GREAT VID!
this is a sweet example of exactly what Rich is talking about…
you are being a MAVEN…
great positioning, solid content, and FAST to market with your offering.
very clever pitch for traffic geyser too! I didn’t even see it, you disguised it so well in all your “helpfulness”!
V.
Yo!! I thought eccentricity, the much required lightening bolt has ceased to exist in USA. ha.ha.ha.ha.
THANKS ALL VERY MUCH,I WAITING LONG TIME ?
I’ll have my video team right on it, Rich!
I’ve got it down to 67 seconds and I’m just racking my brains over which “second” to have them cut out.
Rich, good stuff and thanks for the free video guide and the useful links. I’m sure that it will most useful to lots of your readers who are just starting out with video.

Hi Rich,
well I haven’t got a camera yet. So I don’t think I’ll be able to make the deadline. It has inspired me though to have a go at creating one.
May the best man/woman win
Happy viewing,
Paul
Ok, I have been searching everywhere for about an hour on TubeMogul.com looking for the ‘video link’ that is referred to in the rules. I can’t find one or anything to prove the videos were actually uploaded through TubeMogul (short of sending a screen shot).
Just want to make sure I don’t get disqualified for not sending the proper link
Oops - the quotes was supposed to day:
“Email your video link from TubeMogul.com to our contest email address here - 66secondvideo@gmail.com.”
This is the direction I’m referring to.
Hi Angela,
I had the same problem trying to see what link they were talking about… and I don’t know if this is too late for your timezone, but I think they are talking about the URLs for the videos that show in the Video Upload Status page on TubeMogul.
Good luck,
Carol
Where should we be posting our videos after they are uploaded to YouTube?
Hi Sean
Email the links to the uploaded videos from TubeMogul.com to 66secondvideo@gmail.com
If you need any more assistance email me there (66secondvideo@gmail.com).
Good luck.
Alan.
