This article answers a question from a recent email. “…It’s great that I can post to multiple social networks automatically … wouldn’t be great if I could do the same with video?” Well if you missed the previous article, I explained how to automatically post your post’s to multiple social networking sites.

There is a website that posts your video’s to multiple sites as well. It’s called Tube Mogul! Tube Mogul aggregates video-viewing data from multiple sources to give publishers an improved understanding of when, where and how often their videos are watched, track and compare what’s hot and what’s not, measure the impact of marketing campaigns, gather competitive intelligence, and share the data with colleagues or friends.

Today I’ll describe an amazing plugin for Wordpress called WPing FM. This plugin will automatically submit every post you make on your website to over 30 different social networking sites. Why would you want to do that? Google ranks sites well if they have a large number of in-coming links, that’s why! So by using this tool, everytime you write anything, it will automatically create 30 plus in-coming links for you. I describe exactly how to set it up in the video above.

Also, a person recently left a comment that he, “wanted a plugin that would display links to his social networking pages.” I also describe a plugin that does just that in the video above. It is called Social Profilr. (No that isn’t a typo, it is spelled Social Profilr) If you also want a video custom made for you, just post your question below. I read all of them.

Many websites give you marketing examples that are the prettiest, most creative, etc. Today I present the most successful 50 magazine ads of all time. What I mean by successful, is return on investment. So if you want to create a successful ad you should use the following ads as a template.

Are these ads creative? Yes, but not at the expense of providing enough information so that the client can make an informed decision on whether to buy. Each ad contains a powerful headline, normally one eye attracting image and more text than you’ll see in many unsuccessful ads of today.

The Marketing Examples below were successful because they were the first to:

• Market through story telling
• Turn a negative, of their company into a positive
• Sell with a money back guarantee
• Copy the look of the newspaper they appeared in
• Use creative testimonials
• Include a snip out request for more information
• Use odd looking spokes people
• Use take away sales techniques, ie. this might not be the product for you…
• Tell the whole story with their photo
• Include their interesting jingle in the ad
• Show their product being used in odd ways
• Use scantily clad women in the ad
• Simulate using the product, in the ad
• Provide samples of the product in the ad
