Very Cool Loz

This is also a pretty neat example of ...
"eye gravity" - at least, if you have the little video in the upper right corner of your screen, as I do for the moment.
...

In copywriting we us colors, side notes, blinking widgets and ... "stuff like this" to pull the reader into the important parts of our sales copy - or in this case audio & video.

Anyway... what's interesting is this mini video player (if kept visible) is hard not to stop and watch as I'm trying to do some work at the same time. That part isn't surprising at all - however...

Something of this nature could be a very powerful marketing tool ... But only if it's used properly - In other words if it distracts the listener or viewer in a negative way, it then becomes useless (or damaging)

Here's an example - one of my least favorite ways of advertising is standard radio. The reason is that most people, if they are able will start flipping channels when they hear a commercial - just like when your driving ... In that case it's best to be the first or last commercial in or out of the break.

However let me point out they can work very well for big events. Such as a department store sales i.e. "everything 1/2 off three day event."

Now here's the important part - It's how you keep their attention ..."all from under the radar" - you create your format to match the media format so closely that they both go hand-and-hand ... and as a result the audience not only tunes in, but also embraces your commercial.

Talk shows work very well in radio because the listener is already tuned into the talk format and is less likely to turn the channel. You also see this in some infomercials where it looks more like an interview than it does a commercial. Kevin Trudeau does very well with this because he presents his information as "newsworthy or news breaking"

Anyway not to go off on a tangent ... "just something to think about"

The videos are very cool - thank's for another great resource,

I had thought about having a Vista Widget like this made some months ago that would use the Video Guide To Profits videos via an Ipod video format. But then I scratched the idea cos the window would be too small.

Oh hum, not to worry...

Any ways up, I thought I'd share that link. For me personally, I like to listen to music as I work, helps me concentrate - and block out other interruptions in the house.

That's funny you mention that Loz...

I've taken some of your video's that I've already seen and replayed them in a second window as a refresher - when I hear a section that I wanted to review I just click over to the video and open up one of the programs if needed ... The Vista gadget would be cool if you could expand the window.

What I like about the Audials link is that I've been hearing some pretty cool music I've never heard before ... as a drummer I always like hearing new stuff, old stuff, and all around the world stuff.

I use to teach drums in the Detroit area for many years (when I lived in Michigan) - if you ever seen the Eminem movie 8 mile he plays in a place called The Shelter - I played there I'd say a few years before he became famous. Too bad I wasn't a few years younger, perhaps we would have crossed paths. I was playing in rock & jazz bands just before hip hop became main stream.

Keep up the great work - your putting out nothing but good stuff

gee, small world eh, yeah, shame you guys didn't cross paths, who know where you'd be now. On some poster with loads of chicks crying out your name.

I've seen this in a post for one of Brads products where someone asked if he was
married - Yep, you know there out there...
