The Internet Marketing blog of Mike Merz, Internet Marketing consultant, in regards to what's hot ... and what's not, in the world of Internet Marketing.
I know ... I know ... a lot of Online Business folk, including myself ... up until recently, associate the terms 'chat room' 'voice chat' and 'video chat' with recreational Online users that utilize the aforementioned to waste hours on end yapping, and texting away about virtually anything ... and nothing. Certainly not connected with learning how to make more money ... honestly, anyway.
Still ... as JV Marketing is based a great deal on building relationships and interacting, I thought it a good idea to see what I could do about raising the bar ... in terms of taking relationship building and interaction beyond a forum setting.
And ... I've found the following to be true ... that there are levels of interaction that are more effective the closer they get to being real time, and physical.
Email, Good ... IM, Better ... Phone, Very Good ... Physical Meeting, Best.
Of course ... on the downside of being the best, physical encounters are impractical in the Internet Marketing world ... if not almost impossible.
But what if you had an interactive tool that could take you as close to a physical encounter as you could get?
Enter
audio and video IM chat ...
If you have a web cam, you'll be seen ... if not, a simple mic and you could talk to anyone in the room ... anywhere in the world ... in addition to IM texting in real time ... the next best thing to being there.
So ... I figured that if I was going to mess around in an area I knew little about, I searched out the
world's most popular Online video chat service ... with over 4,000,000 active members ...
PalTalk.
Though
PalTalk is free to join and use ...
a simple, inexpensive upgrade increases quality and usability a great deal, which I ... myself, have done.
I'm testing out my own room (free, as well ... for now) for use, exclusively, by my JV Notify Pro partners called
JV Marketing Brainstorm ... if you are an experienced JV Marketer and are not a JV Notify Pro partner, feel free to join us at
JVNotifyPro.Com to find out how to gain access to
the new video audio chat room.
My chief JV Notify Pro Moderator ... Reed Floren, high ranking community partner ... Chris Schumacher, and myself are the only active members during the testing phase ... but we're looking for other JV Marketing savvy folk to take it to the next level ...

I look forward to seeing, hearing, and brainstorming with you .. ;)
Best,
Mike
