I was digging through the archives and found this video.
My friend, the late Jim Wilson of VegasBuzzz asked me to lunch one day and next thing I knew he had a camera in my face asking me what I do.
Wish I had some more video of Jim.. but this is a reminder of what he taught me. It only takes a few minutes to create content and share online.
We’ve been researching local search, and the ranking possible from videos like this one here.
Granted, the quality is much.. and on this book marketing blog, it’s a bit over over promotion. Jim grabbed 2 books I’d given him over the years to feature (both best sellers). However, I liked how he put a little music, a couple of slides and made a one take video in a restaurant somewhat interesting.
When Jim posted this on his BIO site, my search engine postion shot up and I got a little rise in traffic. Over time, as we’ve added videos from classes, interviews with best selling authors and book promotion examples, we’ve see a steady increase in traffic from the search engines. Not from one post.. but cumulative from all of them put together.

It’s as simple as that.
