Stop wondering how online marketers can send an email and see $2,500 or $5,000 or even $25,000 or more flow right into their bank account?

The secret lies in a good strategy and the knowledge of simple rules so many wanna-be marketers violate.

Of course, knowledge alone will not do it. You need to take action, too.

Since yesterday we officially know it did not work out.

• It did not deliver for anybody
• John finally pulled the plug.

The only way to find out, if an idea is working or not is to do it.

John did it as I have pointed out in a post on E-Biz Booster Blog. It’s meant to a blog article about motivation by the way. You might find it interesting to read his letter of resignation below.

… I expect that there will be many BlogRush critics that will rejoice in hearing this news and relish in saying, “I told you so” and that’s fine. At least I had the guts to take a risk and to at least give the idea a try. I’ve become a successful entrepreneur (online since 1990) because I am not afraid to fail. I’ve had many ideas that didn’t work, and this one certainly won’t be the last.

I know that my overall success is a direct result from taking action and trying a lot of things. THAT is the real secret to building wealth.

In regards to BlogRush, many of my blog readers might remember when I came up with the idea at 4AM and even made a blog post about it. You never know when a great idea might come to you. So always be prepared to be ‘ready’ for it.

But most importantly, be ready to TAKE ACTION and at least TRY, or nothing will change in your life.

Have you taken action today?

Just check out Jennifer’s post over at E-Biz Booster Blog. She found a review video on YouTube, which shows how easy it is to make video funnier (if you have the right kind of equipment).

For example the

“The Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP”

But never forget, a godd video needs much more than special effects. People get tired of those very quickly. At first is the hype and then after everybody has exploited the new “gimmick” it’s getting pretty boring very quickly.

A good video needs good content that engages the viewer. No matter if you are creating a short or a longer video try to tell a complete story. That’s what’s working best.

…and don’t forget. A video should not be a single second longer than necessary to convey that story.

Maybe I’ll write more about online video in the future, but now check out the video: Quickcam Orbit MP Webcam from Logitech
