Mr Video

It’s been an absolute blast launching AskMrVideo. I have found some great resources to share with the members and they in turn have shared some amazing tips, tricks and resources. Amazon S3 has proved to be an amazing resource and one that will help members make a ton of money (and save a ton on hosting costs too)!

I started my MySpace Push today and we’ll see how that goes.

Also, I started my super secret “marketing to giants” campaign today as well. I know that if I only get ONE response things will really blow up.

Well, the good ladies at Cyberauthorize.com answered yet another “help me my site won’t work because of the payment gateway” call and came through in a BIG BIG way. Anna was a joy to work with and got all the paperwork pushed through in one day! Much thanks to the great Tim Kerber for all the help sortin’ stuff out. So now we are SAILIN’ BABY!

So far, I have 100% conversion! I email the three people who had been knocking the doors off the place and they all joined. Tomorrow the email blast to the list goes out!

All in all I’m spent and feel like Dr Frankenstein must have felt; Proud, but very unsure of where this beast will go. Still, it’s exciting!

Well, AskMrVideo was scheduled to go live today but it wasn’t meant to be. Seems that there are some issues with my merchant account I need to sort out. I’ve had this particular merchant account for over 3 years and I believe - thanks to the help of Tim Kerber at MemberGate - it’s not set up correctly.

I hope it gets sorted out tomorrow - however these gateway things seem to take on a life of their own.

Here are my goals for the site:

• 5,000 members by end of 2008
• “Go To” website for marketing with video
• Framless Flash Video player installed on over 1000 sites by end of 2007
• Launch Network Jan 1, 2009
• Release v. 2.0 of Frameless Flash Video Player July 15, 2007
• One line of code
• click tracking
• 100 Page People Clips available
• Have 200 Royalty Free music tracks by March 2007

Here is how I spend my time these days as I get ready to launch:

• Up at 5:30

AskMrVideo.com is on track for a Feb. 12, 2007 beta launch. I am going to be offering charter memberships to those who sign up for the Newsletter/Tip of the Week.

I switched over to a new host as the last one was running an old version of CFX. I now also have the ability to modify this blog - not possible on the other server. NICE!
