The Failure Club

Listen!

I was thinking of starting a failure club. To turn the tables. To look at failure as a failure to be yourself rather than as a failure to measure up to someone else’s definition.

Use failure to your advantage.

Failure is an interesting topic containing many answers and much wisdom. More in the podcast.

Listen To Yourself To Improve Your Results

Things work out faster and easier when you listen to yourself. The quality level of what you do automatically improves when you are in sync with yourself—with the best and the worst parts of you. Plus, whatever you then do, is automatically unique.

Learn to tap into this strength we all have and use it to improve your results. More in the podcast.

Simple Static Websites At Amazon Web Services

Listen!

Amazon Web services has a new feature, that allows you to create simple static websites. They don’t call it by that name, because they don’t talk that way.

Now, when you create a bucket, you can put a default file in there, that will show when somebody types in the bucket name.

What this means for Internet marketers, is that they can create simple static websites. Create a bucket that’s named the same as your domain name, put in an index.html file and you’re ready to go.

This works especially well if you are already hosting audio or video at Amazon. Because now, with a simple one page site at the same place your audio and video already is, it makes that type of website much easier to create and maintain.

How To Know What To Do

Listen!

Is there a right way? People say there is. Sadly, these right ways have not worked for me.

What has worked, is doing my best and listening to myself. Doing a little bit at a time, taking it easy at other times, eventually things come together.

Fast and easy video creation using an iPhone and YouTube.

Producing content quickly and with as little effort as possible is what this video is about.

I mentioned an iPhone video editing app in the video, but that took too long use. Putting in a title takes too much time/power on the iPhone as the entire file needs to render. Using YouTube annotations (later, via a computer) is probably the better easy way to accomplish watermarking or titling your video.

I’m still figuring out the fasted/easiest way to get either the YouTube link or embed code onto my Tumblr blog when using the Tumblr iPhone app. With a computer, it is easy and obvious what to do, using a phone requires some fancier footwork that I haven’t fully developed yet. But I’ll let you know…
