Hi Everyone!
We had an amazing time yesterday at Stephen Pierce’s house. It was really fun and profitable to network with other colleagues in the Internet industry. The more I go to these type of events the more addicted to them I become. I feel empowered when I get to meet more successful entrepreneurs such as people like Russell Simmons. He is the owner of Defjam records, Babyphat, Phatfarm and numerous other businesses.
In 2007 USA Today named Russell Simmons one of the “Top 25 Most Influential People of the Past 20 Years and his estimated worth is almost 400 million dollars!
So I encourage you to listen to the advice he gave us at Stephens house as it applies to all business types 😀
I hate to harp on it, but as I have said MANY times, video is where it is at relative to profits and conversions online.
If you go to http://joeltherien.com/golden.php you will see how Michael Cheney has increased his opt in rate for 19% to 37% by using video. That is almost a 100% increase in conversion rates!
Also, centered around video, check out a demo of our soon to be released video product at http://www.easyvideoproducer.com This new product completely eliminates the guesswork for putting video on your web site!. When released it will be an awesome lead builder for you!
Have an awesome weekend!
Remember, I real ALL the posts on my blog as I really value your feedback. So if you have any questions about my blog please post them below 😀

Hi Guys!
Keep up the great work! Glad to hear things are still moving smoothly! Quick question… do you have an estimated opening date for both the webhosting servers and the hotconference servers? I’m trying to be patient, but I’ve been on edge as I keep hearing “days” away! How close are we really? Next week? Thanks again for the great work you guys are doing. Cheers – Derek
Hey Joel, Thomas here, thanks for the Russell Simmons convo, if it wasnt for him doing good in the community for rap music our streets would be worse here in L.A. Rappers talk the game instead of playing in the game of there youths and people like Russell Simmons took a great venue, a outlet for these rappers who i might add most are alive today with the exception of a few. In Business we have to find what people need most in there marketing skills, find the platform and build it for there own personal tools to use, there are basic skills we all know but each individual needs there own building blocks for what they want to accomplish, when this is recognized it is then you start making money for what you love to do.
I am really excited about your new easyvideoproducer.com. I can’t wait for it to be operable.
I am really disappointed that the Have Fun Friday video quit running after a few minutes. I tried it a couple of times and quit at the same spot each time.
Have a great weekend,
Virginia
Russell simmons! Nice… stephen pierce, joel comm, matt morris!
Sounds like the place to be!
I wish I could have been there.
Definitely next time.
David,
Hi Joel,
Loved the post!
Steven Pierce’s comment about being a good giver as a contributing factor to his phenomenal success, is an important point that is often overlooked in the scramble for the almighty dollar!
Giving back is a theme that is frequently found in those at the top of their game.
Ive also been following michael Cheny’s the golden thread product launch closely.
Compelling viewing!
Thanks again for the awesome post!

Hi Gentle men, another great day. I am glad to see that things are progressing nicely. I am particularly impressed by the video producer. It’s an awesome product.
I was wondering how soon will it become operational?
One observation, the video producer demo does not seem to have a pause botton assuming you are forced to stop recording.

HiJoel,
I always face with your video conversation and listening is not smooth due to intermediate frequency
obstruction. Anyway, you can do to get the talks smoothened technically.
Or just let it be due to satellite space interference.
Cheers, Edmund.
