Brian McCullough - Organizational Internet and Marketing Consultant

The only thing going through my mind is, “Ok now that Ive announced to the world that I am going to be releasing an Internet marketing Podcast what in the heck do I do now?”.

My Thoughts Organized :

Make it Official : Press Release

Finalize a Game Plan : Mind Map (Freemind)

Write A Script : I will be using a past blog as a guide, the scrip will be casual and only used to keep me on track and time.

Mental and Physical Preparation : Don’t think this does not take mental prep time. I am not a pro in front of the camera and I am sure that most people reading this are not ether. Following is a list of things that I am doing to prepare, I am even going to list that things that I think are embarrassing.

• Sit in front of the camera all day while I work
• Record myself talking and take notes on playback
• Practice in the mirror
• Practice on location
• Go Tanning, but not to much
• Groom
  

Make a Video Intro : This is going to be professionally done to make up for the causal Podcast format.

Shoot the Video : Just using a standard mini DV camera. I do not image this would take more then one hour for just a final product of about 5 - 7 not including the intro (few extra seconds).

Put it all Together : I might just end up using Windows Movie Maker.

Finalize the Video : For me this will be setting up a private link to the video and showing it off to friends, family, and other professionals.

Release and Upload : I am going to upload the video to 30 video websites, a location that has RSS capabilities for Podcast directories, and submit to multiple Podcast directories like iTunes.

Market the Hell out of it : This is up to you, personally I might do a second smaller press release or announcement, Just submitting to all those video websites does a lot. You can also do an email campaign, Pay-per-click, Facebook Flyers, Feed Burner advertisements and/or a ton of other things. If you feel like being lazy for this part contact someone at Interloop Media for assistances.

Thats right people I am going to take a stab at publishing a Brian McCullough, Internet Marketing, Bad Ass Podcast; well we will see about the bad ass part. My plans are to have the first video up this week. Right now I am getting ready by working all day with the camera pointed directly at me so that when the time comes to hit the record button it will be an all natural experience. So here is the official announcement…

Ok guys its been a few months since I first wrote about personal SEO and now it is time to reveal my result. The results you are about to see have been up for several weeks, however, I am just now getting around to recording them today. What I did to impove personal SEO and SEM for Brian McCullough “bpmccullough”

1. Setup & Posted a few blogs ( This is one of them ; ) )
2. Created accounts on several networking web
   1. http://my.mashable.com/bpmccullough (One of my Favs.)
   2. MY BAD!!! My accounts will not be as affective because I did NOT fill in all the info in my accounts. I plan on filling in all the info and using the services, however, some just make it too hard to conveniently use them. A good example is twitter.com I can update my twitter account (twitter.com/mccullough) through their website, the normal way, on my phone via SMS, through Google Talk and one of the most unique ways is, via my URL field in Firefox, those are just a few ways that I twitter. A poor example of user convenience is Vox, I hate posting this about Vox because I really like their website and business model but, why would I use their service if I already have a blog? Few other blogging website have answered that question by allowing you to syndicate your primary blog on their blog section allowing you to utilize their services. Vox does do this, however, they only let you syndicate Live Journal and TypePad. WHY? I mean just allow me to use my RSS feed, come on guys. Again this is why I like Mashable because they let you include a small part of every network I us, all in one place and although I wish for more interaction at least I am reminded that I have an account with like 20 networks and need to fill the accounts with information about me.
