by

April 17, 2009

Sometimes something so amazing happens that you must catch your breath, you get goose bumps and realise that if you follow your passion you can be something much, much bigger than your own imagination could possibly ever handle.

Video killed the Radio Star

Video will kill your Competion!

Send me your viral video idea to viralvideos@scott-gallagher.net and if you win, I will pay for the video for your business.  Period. 

 This is a quick post about about a video that is gone viral in a ridiculous fashion.  I mean crazy.  How about well over 40 million views in 6 days?  I bet it’s much, much higher than that.  This video could easily bring a 48 year old woman who has never kissed anyone romantically before to super, super stardom, literally OVERNIGHT.  Susan Boyle is singer from Scotland who sang in Karaoke and Church and decided to try out for a show called Britain’s Got Talent.  They may not have the teeth, but man, they have talent!

Blow Your Business Up Overnight with this Viral Video Contest.

I will pay for everything.  You make the idea, I will promote your business!

Now you just need your own idea.  You don’t have to be an amazing singer or performer, you just need one good video idea.  Here’s the deal, send me your video ideas to viralvideos@scott-gallagher.net and I will choose three video ideas.  I will hold a poll from my readers and the winning viral video idea, I will pay to get produced.  Read the video section in my book and come up with the idea, and I will use my team to create the video for you.  We will use professional effects, distribute it for you to over 200 video sites and pick up ALL costs.  This is a GREAT opportunity to have a video created and I want to see how far a video for a local business does.  I want to see how much money one small business can make from one video.  I want a HUGE testimonial.  You just have to have the idea!

So, get in on your viral video contest.  Enjoy this video.

The Happiness Club – Kids teaching kids positive values

by

March 9, 2009

Life is amazing, what drives us and what each of our passions are. Every reader I have on this blog knows my life passion is Internet Marketing for Local Businesses.  This is my passion that I chose to do so I can fund my real passion, educating and helping people.  One day I’ll leave the IM game to travel the world and spread wealth to those who need it more than me.

Right now my business does give a lot back to the community, however I’m about to share something that is the closest to my heart, and that’s my family.  They are everything to me, and the two most important people in my life is my daughter Madison (11) and Ashtyn Patrick (3).  Now, my daughter Madison is going to change the world, mark my words.  Whether its her business, Algonquin Animal Patrol that hires kids to help out neighborhood animals, or volunteering at the Animal Shelter, she’s an entrepreneur who isn’t phased by society.  I think a lot of her morals and values are being taught to her by The Happiness Club.

The Happiness Club is a group of Chicago kids who sing, dance, rap, and create original material for their sensational musical show designed to teach kids positive values. Diverse in age, race, and socioeconomic background, The Happiness Club kids sing out against violence, smoking, drugs, and racism and say “YES” to education, racial harmony, high self-esteem, global humanity and helping the enviroment. Through an aggressive performance schedule and outreach programs the Happiness Club is reaching thousands of children each year.
Please take a moment to watch some of the videos of the kids.

This is a documentary made about the club.

This is a video of their hit single ‘So Hot’, written and coreographed by the kids. It’s about global warming.

…and some of their Sunday practice…

Viral Hockey video on Youtube

by

December 30, 2008

I just thought I’d post something that hits two passions of mine, Internet Marketing and Hockey.  Well, while this video has a personal purpose two years ago, in the last 4 weeks this video is receiving international viewership and has gone viral. 

 

Watch this 3 minute video on a the majic hockey helmet.  Its a great video to study and understand why videos go viral and what is required to create a viral video.  This isn’t the bionic burger, however I bet this video will hit over 100,000 hits before the hockey season is done. 

Someone in the hockey niche?  Take advantage of this.  This viral video isn’t being monetized and you can monetize it.  Tip, viral videos that are being monetized are a lot of the time re-distributed videos, repackaged and rebranded.  In a few weeks, I’m releasing my course which included a how to on viral videos.  I’ll demonstrate several dozen videos we’ve made that have gone viral.  I’ll demonstrate the component that need to be in a video in order to go viral.

Here is few tips on what will help make a video go viral.

Humor, talent, celebrities, kids, physical injury, sex and strong emotion are some of the factors in this concept. 

Remember, for the first time in history do we have the power to distribute our message to an audience much larger than the readership of New York Times, LA Post and Globe and Mail combined using the most democratic medium available.
