podcast.marketinghypnotism.com is ready and my podcast feed is set up



This has been one great day for me in Marketing Hypnotism. I finally managed to get my podcast feed up and running in wordpress. Zillion thanks to Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income. His youtube video tutorials made my day. I have watched the six part video three or four times already. Today, I watched the fifth and the sixth video of his explaining how to set up my podcast feed and upload the podcast feed on iTunes, Blackberry and Stitcher. Stitcher uploads my podcast automatically on to android devices. This is the moment to claim my right to a milestone achievement. The journey has only just begun. There is plenty of work to do. I will need to wait for another two or three days before hearing from Apple and Blackberry on my podcast feed. The podcast moderators will probably check my feed settings and perhaps listen to the podcast to see if it meets their standards. Once they approve the feed, you should be able to find me in all apple devices and android devices that play podcasts. I am so excited by today's milestone. This has been a bit frustrating with too many technical glitches and technology stumbling blocks along the way in setting up my first podcast. The hard work has finally reached a point where I will simply have to wait for word to come from podcast directory moderators in Stitcher, Blackberry and iTunes. I have validated my feed for http://podcast.marketinghypnotism.com and the feed looks great. The microsite for podcast running wordpress is linked from a menu item in http://marketinghypnotism.com. Please check to see if you like my podcast. I will soon create an ebook and perhaps a video tutorial about my experience. But first, my podcast needs approval and acceptance from moderators. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me best of lucks. Hypnotisingly yours, Krish Murali Eswar.

Email Marketing Made Easy with AWeber



I have had some experience using different mailing software. None came anywhere close to my experience with Aweber. I love Aweber. It cost me around Rs.1,000/- a month to turn one time visitors to ArtyPlantz.com and MarketingHypnotism.com into loyal subscribers. Which software are you using for your email marketing? Hypnotisingly yours, Krish Murali Eswar.

How do I make my video blog using PresenterMedia and iMovie?



Simple steps: 1) Subscribe to PresenterMedia.com 2) Choose & Download HD Video backgrounds from PresenterMedia.com 3) Create a new project in iMovie (works with MacBook and iMac). 4) Choose a iMovie theme that comes inbuilt. 5) Add the downloaded HD video background as an event in in iMovie. 6) Drag the HD video background to your video project. Edit text, add transitions, trim timings, add an intro and an outro. Add inbuilt apple's royalty free music. That is it. Done. My video takes about six minutes to create on an average. I keep the video blog limited to a minute or less. Restrict to two or three simple messages. Test it once. Upload directly from iMovie to YouTube. I then share my YouTube video as a embedded video in MarketingHypnotism.com. This takes about a minute or two. There is a free add on module in Drupal that also pulls in my latest video and shows it in the side bar of my website. This is automatic. Set it up once and forget about it. Your latest video will always show up. Hypnotisingly yours, Krish Murali Eswar. Video Blog, 10 Jan 2013.

ArtyPlantz podcast studio is up and running today



Great day, folks. We got our podcast studio functioning today. Anjana got it inaugurated with first podcast on Neeruj vana, the common sense gardens! Rakhi got her hands dirty and learned to record and edit Anjana's podcast. I am keeping my hands totally off of this process since the two are pros in what they do. How do I get these podcasts to iTunes? I am looking at feed burner to give me an answer. Could you help? Hypnotisingly yours, Krish Murali Eswar. Video Blog, 9 Jan 2013.

ArtyPlantz team rescued a kite today



Been one of those days when almighty sends you a life to be saved. In the middle of some frantic pace of work, the bird got electrocuted in the electric wires on the road and fell in front of our office. The team swung into action. Gave it some water. Called the animal shelter. They were closed. Called several friends and animal lovers. A couple of youngsters volunteered to take the injured bird and give it adequate love and attention and find a home. Thank God for these small mercies. Otherwise, it has been a routine day for marketing hypnotism for ArtyPlantz. Things have been progressing well. We are seeing growth on every metric. There is a new metric report in MarketingHypnotism.com. Please check it out. I wish to track about 30 metrics in all for online marketing. Do you think these metrics are adequate? Hypnotisingly yours, Krish Murali Eswar. Video Blog, 8 Jan 2013.

ArtyPlantz website status metrics report is online



I have been wondering for sometime now. How do we track the progress of ArtyPlantz.com? Is it reaching our target clients? Are our online marketing efforts leading prospects towards giving us opportunities? Can we really make deals out of this online effort? I have courageously (read: foolishly) decided to go live with the metrics of artyplantz.com and all it's online efforts. You will see the progress report in marketinghypnotism.com. Look for a menu link on status reports. I shall soon upgrade the report to something more dynamic and eye-opening. Look out. Will update you soon. Hypnotisingly yours, Krish Murali Eswar.
