Introduction
Hi and welcome to the Toob Ring of Fire training.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If your browser gives you a security warning about
content on these pages, go ahead and allow the content
to display.
The only content in question is YouTube
videos. I used HTML instead of PDF so I could embed the
videos directly in this HTML page for your convenience.
I chose to use HTML instead of PDF for this project for a
few reasons. First, I can embed videos directly into the
pages so you can view them along with more information in
text format.
Plus, HTML was created to use links and we'll be working
with a lot of links and PDF is primitive when it comes to
links.
Another benefit of HTML over PDF is we can use a FireFox
plugin to open multiple links at the same time, which is a
real time saver. I go into more detail about this on the Preparation and Set Up page.
The tips, training and resources included here will make
you into a real Youtube video POWERHOUSE. You can use this
knowledge for your own video marketing projects as well as
your clients' projects.
What is a Ring of Fire?
A "Ring of Fire" is a collection of social and Web 2.0
sites built to promote and rank our Youtube videos. These
third party sites we'll use is because they have lots of
search engine "authority" and are easy to automate.
While the training here is generally focused on Youtube
video marketing, many of the methods, strategies and
resources apply to modern SEO as well. And because of the
authority of these sites, many of the Ring of Fire sites
can, and do, rank themselves.
Note that it's very unlikely you will get rich from a
single Youtube channel and a single Ring of Fire network.
Forget about chasing every Internet Marketing dream being
sold. Keep building Ring of Fame networks and you will see
success.
In many ways, IM and SEO success means boredom. At first,
things that are new are exciting. But it's through
repetition that you build success. It's when you are so
comfortable with the process that it's no longer
"exciting" is when you'll truly be successful.
Building Ring of Fire networks takes effort. The good news
is, the more networks you build, the faster, easier and
better it will become.
Don't worry about being perfect. Instead, be decisive and
productive. To many wannabe marketers worry about getting
everything perfect. Make a decision! If you aren't sure,
do it another way next time and test things.
To modify a quote from General George Patton:
"A good Ring of Fire network made
today is better than
a perfect Ring of Fire network made next week."
Video Marketing Automation
We'll be automating much of the process using a free site
called IFTTT.com, as well
as using RSS to expand our Ring of
Fire to sites that aren't directly compatible with IFTTT.
IFTTT is a free, but very powerful site. "IFTTT" means "If
this, then that".
For example:
If you upload a new
video to your Youtube channel, then post
a link to the video on Twitter.
-or-
If you upload a new video to your Youtube
channel, then add it to a Tumblr blog.
IFTTT has tons and tons of useful "recipes". A recipe is
simply an action, as in the two examples above.
You can either create your own recipes or use recipes
others have already created. Almost all the IFTTT recipes we need for
our Ring of Fire projects will already have been created
for us.
Before you can use IFTTT recipes, you must do two things:
- Create accounts
at, and do some basic set up at the social and Web 2.0
sites that work with IFTTT Youtube recipes.
- "Connect" your accounts with IFTTT so IFTTT can
automatically post to these sites when it finds a new
video on your channel.
I included as many free resources as possible. Although
optional, I also highly recommend two inexpensive
marketing tools to compliment and enhance your Ring of
Fire networks:
FCS
Networker - Automatic network and link builder
MassPlanner
- Powerful social media marketing tool
Yes, both links are affiliate links. But they are
inexpensive and I pay for and use both tools myself. They
will greatly expand the abilities of your Ring of Fire
networks as well as your SEO and social marketing. You can
read more about these
powerful tools here.
