Will you support me by voting within the next 12 hours. . .
May I ask a favour?
Following the adage ‘Actions speak louder than words’ I’ve taken up Rich Shefren’s challenge to produce a 66 seconds video, whilst saying something worthwhile about his powerfully informative report The Attention Age Doctrine 2.
And it was a real challenge - especially as my normal mode of communication is long, explanatory and valuable information-packed letters, adverts or articles!!
But it was done - and within the designated time-scale. So here’s the favour I’m asking…
I need your support
Will you gift me 10 minutes of your valuable time to visit this video site, play the clip and then vote?
The clip is only 66 seconds long and voting is done through Digg and Sphinn (there are instructions on how to vote). So, I think it may take you about 10 minutes. You have to play the clip for your vote to count.
Then - and this is where the power of what the report talks about comes into action - please ask your friends and business colleagues if they would do the same.
Now why should you or they bother, except as a favour to me and you? Because they too can download the free report I’m describing in the clip and gain valuable marketing insights. Plus - there are some brilliant prizes for voters to gain too.
Why do I want to get a good result? Because it will show the power of peer recommendation, which is something we all need to embrace more in business, and I can share the experience with you and explore how it fits with copywriting. And I’d quite like to walk away with the accolade of getting a hit!
Thank you for your support and for ’spreading the word’. I’ll let you know how it progresses in future postings on this blog.

I think there may be a technical glitch on the voting page ’cause my video was showing black when I looked. You can see it in all it’s glory at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q90DsUxv41M
Thanks for your support…

Tried voting, went through the rigmarole of signing up to do so, then replayed the vid, click the link, then saw:
“URL is invalid or blocked: (Carol%20Bentley)”
Am assuming I was meant to see a thank you page (or something more positive)?
Sorry,
Andy
Hi Andy,
thank you so much for taking the time to support me and to let me know about the problems you had. I really appreciate it!
A few other people contacted me to say the same… never mind it was an interesting experience and, if nothing else, it probably encourage a few new visitors to this blog
