Jonathan Budd Interview

Last night I listened to an interview of Jonathan Budd done by Daegan Smith. Actually, I listened to it twice in a row even though it was after 1am.

What the interview was about was "Network Marketing 2.0 Predictions."

Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

The Learning Process:

  • You should spend at least 6 months just learning as much as you can.
  • Look at other people's sites, blogs, squidoo lenses, etc. to get ideas.
  • Test, test, and test some more to see what's working.
What is "Web 2.0?"

Web 2.0 is the social networking/ video communities and the rising social interaction on the Internet.
  • You Tube
  • My Space
  • Facebook
  • Blogging
  • Squidoo
These type of sites allow the readers to interact with the site/ page designers.

  • Stats:
    • My Space has about 215 million people. That's equal to the amount of people in the 6th largest population in the world.
    • You Tube gets close to 1 billion page views per month.
    • Even those who aren't members of You Tube have been there. The reach is huge.
Video Marketing

Video marketing is an awesome tool for:
  • Branding
  • Relationship building
Videos show people who you really are. People will join your business because they like you and what you're about.

This is the key to "attraction marketing."

People Have A Desire For Connection!

Traditional marketing methods are receiving all time low results.

Big businesses are nameless, faceless, and have no real soul. There is no relationship building done by traditional marketing.

People are at a prime position right now where they want "something else."

Focus on the "little things" that people are looking for.

How?
  • Articles
  • Videos
  • Lenses
Blogs, You Tube, My Space, and Squidoo can all be integrated with your site to make your search engine rankings happen naturally and quickly.

The point is this:

Not a lot of people are taking advantage of this form of marketing as of yet. Smart marketers are going to be using these methods to round out 2007 and ring in 2008 with an explosion in their business building.

I know I am, how about you?
