New Media Marketing Tips & Coaching: Judging for Active Rain’s Project Blogger
by @CoachDeb · Filed Under: General TS Stuff
In July of 2007 we were asked to be judges in the Project Blogger contest for the #1 Social and professional network for Realtors, real estate brokers and other real estate professionals — Active Rain. Instead of a boring written summary of the judging we decided to do a video overview with detailed explanation of our rankings with LOTS of free New Media coaching included.
The coaching advice on this page in TIMELESS!
No matter what the date is when you’re visiting this page it is PACKED with over 45-minutes of tips, strategies and coaching for maximizing your New Media Marketing and optimizing Online Persuasion to boost your profits no matter what industry or niche you may be in.
Enjoy!
We’re honored to be the judges for the 14th and final week for the Active Rain Real Estate Network’s Project Blogger contest. And we’re thrilled to have these reviews here as one of our first posts here at Tribal Seduction™ after moving over from AdvancedBusinessBlogging.com.
What you’ll find here is much more than just judging results. We’ve compiled nearly an hour of video, packed with New Media Marketing coaching and Tribal Seduction strategies. PLUS, we’ve even had transcripts created for you of the videos.
This truly is more of an online New Media Marketing guide than the results of a contest.
As you watch each video and read every word of the transcripts, you’ll be amazed at how simple it really can be to market effectively with New Media. Blogs, podcasts, social networks, online video… they all can work for you if you avoid the traps laid out by many blogging and New Media evangelists.
The online persuasion and Tribal Seduction™ strategies revealed in this video series will help the Project Blogger contestants, and other real estate bloggers from Active Rain too. And it doesn’t stop there!
New Media marketers, business bloggers, sales professionals… just about any business person looking to effectively market online, beginner or advanced, will see how to make their Web site work hard for them. You’ll see how to not just get results with other bloggers. But more importantly — with Tribe members who are most likely to become your clients, customers, and raving fans!
How the videos are organized
The videos cover the final week’s rankings from #7 to #1, in David Letterman countdown style. You obviously can jump around out of order. But do yourself a favor and be sure to watch each video.
We reveal practical New Media Marketing, online persuasion, and Tribal Seduction strategies in every video! Simple strategies that are so powerful you’ll want to apply them immediately on your own site!
Before starting the video series, download the PDF of the final week’s Project Blogger rankings. It reveals the ratings of each contestant in ten areas that are critical for online persuasion and seduction of your Tribe.

Thank you for the “coolest” judging yet!! I have been “tweaking” my sidebars this week, and, ironically just added the “drop down” menues because the sidebar was too wordy. I really appreciate your analysis of my site and content and loved the video presentation!
Our pleasure Jackie. Great job! Your personality and passion really come through! You’ve got the right attitude and focus.
First I gotta tell you guys that those videos were superb, I feel like I know you and I could definitely hang out.
I have been working my tail off on this blog and I am having a blast and you have no idea how good it feels to go out of this competition with a bam and feeling this good.
My coach, Paul Chaney, actually guided me to your book at the beginning of the competition – especially at your F-O-O-D acronym (I confess I have not yet began reading the book, but I did buy it).
Thank you for such a thorough and fun review and I do have one questions – when you mentioned “add a name capture at the header” – where you talking about a call to action where you give something of value? or was that something different?
I don’t want to turn this into a book but my press release is almost ready and it’s about to hit PRMedia and local media as well (glad to hear you guys approve).
Fantasticly creative judging effort. Thanks for all the time and energy spent on this.
After seeing the add for your book 14 times, I think I have to finally go out and read it.
I actually did READ your book!

You remind me of the two on “What Not To Wear”….
Ines:
Thanks for the comment, and the compliment. You’ve got yourself a good coach with Paul. Great marketing focus… only addition is that name capture in the header or upper left-hand corner of sidebar for list building. (Similar to what Kevin Tomlinson has on his main site.)
Good luck with the PR efforts!
Jim:
Thanks! And good good move on the book purchase! If you enjoyed the videos, you’ll love the book.
Jackie:
It shows you read “Secrets of Online Persuasion.”

Fantastic Video – Congrats to all the Bloggers, especially Ines and Miamism – I follow her on “Twitter”.
Thanks for all the helpful tips and ideas which I plan to use – I’m just nervous about the video part – but I will do it!
Excellent tips and insights … I think I’ll have to re-watch these videos … jam-packed with info. Great job you two!
great videos, very enjoyable to watch. lots of great useful info. no wonder john reese hangs out with u guys.
but no way r u allow to visit our website. wouldn’t be able to handle the webbashing. lol
keep up the good work, u guys r great.
Interesting, I finally got something from my visits at mashable. I have to come back here and see what I can learn from your website. At first sight I had the strong impression I was looking at American Blogger with the line-up and all (strangely kept hearing Simon Cowell’s accent in my ears while listening to you).
Quick question – are any of these blogs you are looking at making any serious money? ’cause of the Web 2.0 fever I keep seeing people working more to boost their ego and public image than for real money. And this is not more pardonable than what the bankers did
Hey guys,
I found you through Alejandro and think that what your doing is very similar to a concept I have.
I think it’s amazing!!
I would really love to connect with you guys. I have a blog called persuasive.net and persuadehollywood.com
Please do send me an email when you get a chance.
