The Grand Rapids LipDub Video (below) was filmed May 22nd, with 5,000 people and involved a major shutdown of downtown Grand Rapids, which was filled with marching bands, parades, weddings, motorcades, bridges on fire, and helicopter take offs.

This video, even though a visual cue, puts you right back into the movie which is critical for a touchy feely kinesthetic person. So there you have it, a quick, simple solution. Integrate videos to tap into the SENSORY […]
A lot of people debate the pros and cons of Social Media, what I have come to call Social NOTworking – where people waste countless hours exchanging posts, chats, pokes, photos and other electronic elements with people they wouldn’t be caught dead with face-to-face. But that’s my personal bias AND I am not saying that […]
Google Instant is not new, but it is having a dramatic influence on how people search…. As you can see when you use Google, the search results change dynamically AS YOU TYPE.

Recently, I was reviewing infomercials (they are a great source of creative ideas).

Today’s post is regarding Google Places – another attempt by Google to fend off Facebook’s domination by forcing you to put additional information into Google to increase Google’s ranking – not necessarily improve your own […]
Earlier this week, I blogged about how Vaseline and radioactivity are related to make a point – well actually, to illustrate how William Tucker has been able to reduce the fear mongering propaganda of the mass media to simple, easy-to-understand metaphors and analogies that any 5th grader can understand. Mt Tucker recently added another article […]
In a previous post, I explained the benefit of using a great illustration or photo to explain a step-by-step process. Sometimes the image can be a page of text – like this one for mobile phone recycling… One page says it all in a very attractive layout, with the necessary links.
Did you know you can fart proof your dog? If you’ve ever had a dog with flatulence, you know how valuable this can be. The Internet Marketing Lesson is that I explained how to leverage this fact to two clients: One leveraged it and the other didn’t. Which one do you think has doubled sales […]
Let me state my bias right up front – I am not into texting or tweeting. I think Twitter is mostly a massive waste of time. Yes – I have a Twitter page and joined Twitter 2 years before it became mainstream. However there are always exceptions to the rule, like this article in The […]
As you’ve come to expect from me and my blogs, I come at things from a different perspective and paradigm. My goal for my blogs is to be the catalyst for ideas that can help you grow your business. The Internet is an exponential tool that can help in countless ways. Today’s post is another […]
As I have been saying for some time, attitudes toward email marketing are improving. Part of the reason is that opting out is easy and email marketers are now respecting people’s time more, so commercial ‘spam’ has been reduced by legislation and market forces. Forrester Research, one of the most prestigious and respected research organisations […]

Google Page 2 ‘Almost’ As Good As Page 1? Google recently reported that 38 to 45% of people searching on Google immediately click to page 2 because too many people are manipulating keywords to be on Page 1. That means you now need to be both on Page 1 and Page 2… “The Internet is […]

In November, we’re staging the last Exponential Internet Marketing Bootcamp in Melbourne. As I explained at my recent Exponential Extravaganza events, I am getting out of the “Internet Marketing” space letting the Internet spruikers and promoters do their thing at their multi-speaker salesfest events. That does not mean I’m abandoning Exponential Internet Marketing strategies, in […]
Trying to keep up with Google’s policy changes is getting harder and harder.
