Shocking News of Whitney Houston’s Death

Whitney Houston died today, February 11, 2012 in Beverly Hills. The news of this tragedy reached me via social media, and I did what a vast majority of you did. I went to You Tube and started listening to all of my favorite Whitney tunes, as I did memories flooded me of moments in my life when her music inspired me or helped me through difficult times. The most recent of these happened just three days ago…three days before Whitney Houston’s death…

During a stressful moment at work, I reached out to Whitney for inspiration and relief – again via You Tube. Her music has always inspired and renewed my focus. Ironically, this moment was caught on iPhone video by a co-worker and we jokingly referred to it as an “EPIC lip sync”. Now, it has become not only an “epic lip sync” of Whitney Houston’s hit song “Greatest Love of All”, but it has become my tribute to her.

I am sharing that tribute video with you below….

Enjoying The Next Level of Video Marketing

As most experienced internet marketers know, there are a multitude of marketing techniques that can be leveraged to drive traffic to your website and generate leads to your on-line business. While I do use a variety of techniques in my business, I admit video marketing is one of my favorites.

Let’s face it. We are a media driven society. And, in a media driven society, video stands out. For the first several months of using video marketing in my business, I used the same software a large majority of my colleagues use and recommend, Windows Move Maker (WMM). This is actually a great FREE software application that comes standard with most PCs today and for the price (free) puts out a pretty decent quality video.
