DSD-Professionals BizBuzz Edition 2

Today I’m sharing some goodies from the world of online videos. First up is the fairly new website called REVVER. Revver is the first viral video network that pays. REVVER connects video makers, sharers, and sponsors in a free and open marketplace that rewards you for sharing the videos.

How Does Revver work?

It’s really simple: you upload a video to REVVER, and then they attach an ad and their unique tracking technology to “Revverize” the video. Any ad revenue generated by your video is split 50/50 between you and Revver. Since ads are attached to the video itself and dynamically served wherever your video travels, there’s no restriction on how your videos are distributed. The more people email your video, post it to other websites or download, the more money you could earn.

You can then track your video’s performance through your Revver account, which tells you exactly how many times your video is watched, and how much money you’re earning. It gets better! To increase the value of the entire Revver network, they also reward people for sharing videos. You can earn 20% of ad revenue for sharing videos by other Revver members. The remaining revenue is split 50/50 between the maker and Revver.

Can Butterfly Reports Help Digi-Scrap Business Owners?

DSD-Pro isn’t my only online business endeavor. But it is the one I’m enjoying the most these days. The main reasons is because of the friendships and the great business partnerships I’ve been lucky enough to develop over the years. Digi-Scrappers are just such fun to hang out with! I really like that we are a group of people who enjoy sharing with each other so much. Today I have a RAK for you of a different flavor. Different because it’s not free digi-art, but instead it’s an introduction to an opportunity for you to add another stream of income to your digi-scrap business.

Something That’s Not for Everyone

This is not a sales pitch. Whether you decide to take advantage of this opportunity or not is totally up to you and I’m not here to convince you that you should. I’m just offering the information in case you’re an entrepreneur who uses newsletters, articles, or other information products in your digi-scrap business. I know that I can not meet the DSD-Pro mission (to help Digi-Scrap business owners be successful) by screwing up our reputation with a bunch of sales articles telling you about one “get rich quick” scheme after another. So please don’t take this article that way.

This review is not about a product that we offer here at DSD-Professionals. It’s not even about a product that’s specific to our industry. It’s about an article marketing service that you can use to add another stream of income to the stream(s) you already have in your current business.

It’s called the Butterfly Reports

The Butterfly Reports is a great way to get some viral marketing going in your business. If you send (or are looking to send) out information products to a list of people who are interested in e-reports from you or if you market info as a part of your business then this may interest you. If you do these already, then you know the importance and the power behind viral marketing. So you’ll probably see how you can implement this program into your business and make some extra money.

Scrapbook Printing and Binding - Who do You Use and Why?

I’m working on a project with a 40-page, 12×12 size album that needs to be professionally printed and bound. There are so many choices available these days and finding a company that fits within my business budget is only one of the criteria I consider when choosing the right folks to work with. Quality is my number one concern and customer service is a high priority for me as well. So as I start my quest to find the perfect company to meet my needs I’ve come across MyPicTales.

This is a new company that launched in 2007. I recently had an opportunity to talk with the owner of the company. I found Prathibha to be contagiously energetic and eager to meet her customer’s needs. She’s passionate about the quality of their products and has a high level of interest in working directly with professional photographers and scrapbookers. She’s open to feedback and suggestions from our market and this is the main reason why I’ve decided to give MyPicTales a go for this project I’m working on.

As I work my project, I’m going to provide input to our readers here at DSD-Pro as well as to Prathibha. I’ll tell you about my experience at the website, during the development and ordering process, and let you know what I think of the final product when it arrives at my door. I hope that you will find this information helpful to you as you consider who to choose for your printing and binding services too.
