Free Gas To Stimulate Main Street
Everybody knows that most, if not all, of downtown businesses' customers arrive by car. So it's intuitive to try to come up with a way to encourage drivers - who normally wouldn't venture downtown - to hop into their rides and cruise on down to Main Street to shop for wares. If we could do this, just think of all the new business we'd be stimulating!
How To Get Gas For Free - The Early Show - CBS News
(CBS) There may be no free lunch, but there is free gas!
The Early Show consumer correspondent Susan Koeppen says it's as close as your nearest computer.
And with gas prices topping out above $3 and the summer driving season just around the corner, her report comes in the nick of time.
She found numerous Web sites offering relief for your pain at the pump, and visited with a Brooklyn, N.Y., demolition contractor who gets free gas for his hummer.
When Mike Amico bought it, he knew it'd be a gasoline guzzler. He was spending about $200 a week to fill its hungry tanks. But, says Koeppen, Amico turned his gas hog into a cash cow. This month, he'll get $100 in free gas.

Can 1’s and 0’s really make YOU money online? Yes they can with Easy Video Producer!
How many years has it taken for our society to create a way for anyone to make money from home? I remember all of the classified ads that I would read a kid while surfing my comic books in the 1970’s looking for a way to make an extra buck so I could buy my own toys when I was 14. It always seemed that I would stumble across classifieds that would direct me to stuffing envelopes and to send away for the information. I must have sent away for dozens of offers only to find out that I couldn’t implement all the things necessary to make it work because it required even more money and I simply didn’t have it!
Well today is a new day with new opportunity and new ways to connect and produce results that’s for sure. Because of computers and the internet it is now possible to create and income online from the comfort of your home, office, or even for starving students in college. Literally anyone can create income online with a click of a mouse strong intentions and a product, a digital product to be specific.
So the question becomes, “How do I begin to make money online and with what tool?” Well, I will say to you that about 1.5 years ago I stumbled across a link a friend forwarded to me about a gentleman by the name of Armando Montelongo (He and his wife are the stars of A&E’s Flip This house). I viewed the link and watched the video 5 or 6 times, but even more importantly I clicked on a link on the bottom of the page that most webmasters post as a link to their site and this is where I found the company of an incredible entrepreneur, Joel Therien. Joel is a guy with a vision who has created one of the most influential internet businesses on the web today because he give back to his subscribers, customers and people in general.
Beginning in March, Joel will be introducing a product that allows anyone to build a MASSIVE contact list using a virtual product with high perceived value for all people. How many times have you visited a web page where you download a trial product and then have to upgrade within 7-30 days and soon after that you’re not using the product at all because you didn’t upgrade to the paid version?
Mr. Therien’s product is given away for FREE and allows all of its users the ability to create an online income payable via a PayPal account. Software of this caliber can cost $250 - $600 easily, but now all interested takers have the ability to post their own videos on the internet for free with a few clicks of a mouse. How easy can it be to get more for less?
Why would Therien give this software away for F.REE? You know, I asked the same question. I came to the conclusion that this not only allows for me to get more exposure and build my marketing list to sell virtual products and more, it give my joint venture partner, Joel the ability to exponentially increase his marketing list and grow his company to the mark of $100 million this year. And I’m committed to helping him because he’s helping me create my $5 Million. That is truly a WIN-WIN for all parties involved and certainly a joint venture partner I want to engage with.
Joel Therien and Global Virtual Opportunities business model are in the process of changing the internet and pushing the online envelope by sharing knowledge, virtual opportunities and customer service to create more choices in the global marketplace. Being connected with Joel Therein has taught me trade secrets that I would have not received anywhere else on the planet and coupled with his network of Internet Gurus, like Mike Filsaime, Frank Kern, Mike Koenigs, Stephen Pierce you not only have a chance to meet these people, but you have a chance to learn more trade secrets and make more revenue online.
Easy Video Producer started its public launch on March 2, 2009 and to take advantage of the buzz on the front side and to build your marketing list quickly, you need to sign up quickly. Again the software is F.REE and if you find value to the product upgrade to the next level if it makes since for upgrade. It’s that easy. The secret to making money online is to build a contact list of people that see value in what you offer and Easy Video Producer provides extreme value.

Gas Certifcate Advterisers FAQ
Advertiser Answers
1. What is it exactly that you offer?
We offer both gas and grocery rebate certificates (incentives) that any business owner, non-profit agency, or individual can purchase and GIVE away to get more customers, make more sales, increase donations, stimulate referrals, use as closing tools - this list is endless on how you can incorporate these into your organization's marketing mix.
2. Give me an example of how I can use them.
Car Sales: Offered a $100 Gas Certificate when a customer takes a "test drive" and a $500 Gas Certificate when they buy a new car.
Carpet Cleaning Service: A carpet cleaning service had a special to clean 5 rooms of carpet for $150. They gave their customer a $300.00 Gas Certificate. Customers felt like the company was actually PAYING them to hire them to clean their carpets.
Chiropractic Care: Offered new patients $150 in Free Gas on their first visit. If they "bought" a packaged care plan, then the patient received $300 in Free Gas.
Lawn Care or Landscaping Services: Offering a year round contract to customers this company gave away a $100 gas certificate when they paid month-to-month. If the customer paid in advance for the year, a $500 Gas Certificate was issued instead.
Car Wash: Using a $300 gas certificate to make more sales of their annual car wash pass for $199 which allows customers to wash their car as often as they wish.
Employee Rewards: Companies help their employees get to work by giving them a $100 Gas Certificate every four months when they show up on time. Outstanding employees received $300 or $500 certificates instead.
3. What denominations do the free gas and grocery rebate certificates come in?
Certificates come in seven denominations... $50, $100, $150, $250, $300, $450, and $500.
4. What do my customers get?
Consumers can earn BACK a maximum of $25 per month for each month they spend at least $100 in fuel (with a gas certificate) or groceries (with a food certificate). And honestly who isn't doing that today. So a $100 certificate is good for 4 months @ $25.00 per month while a $500 certificate will take 20 months before they will get full value ($25 per month x 20 months = $500.00.)
5. Do my customers have to jump through hoops to get their gas or food gift card each month?
Absolutely not. Here's the process. You know if you go to Best Buy and purchase a piece of software with a mail in rebate on it that you have to send in that coupon and the receipt for your purchase in order to get your $20, $30 or more rebate in the mail. Our program is very similar only it works with gas or food gift cards from most major brands of fuel and food. The consumer takes the certificate they receive from you, the business owner, for visiting your store, test driving a car, buying a product or scheduling a service or whatever you wanted them to do.
They activate it by going online and filling out a form (free) or mailing it in to the redemption company (there is a one-time non-refundable $4.50 fee to register by mail as the redemption company has to ship the vouchers back to the customer so they can redeem them) . At the time of activation they choose the brand of gas they will be using, or the supermarket or grocery store they do their food shopping at, for the entire redemption period. We issue them redemption coupons (mail in rebate forms) with their name, the activation number and the month and year that the coupon needs to be sent in to us.
Then, on the first day of the very next month, they begin to save their gas or food receipts (depending on what type of certificate they've received) when they fill up or go food shopping. Once they have at LEAST $100 in receipts, they mail those receipts and that month's redemption coupon in to our company (and the address is right on the voucher itself - the process is made very simple for your customer.
Remember... we are not asking the consumer to do ANYTHING out of the ordinary. No membership to buy, no need to buy anything EXTRA... just simply continue to buy the gas or food they normally buy and are currently getting nothing for other than the gas, groceries, and an empty wallet. The one small thing they have to do to participate is send in their gas or food receipts using an envelope and a stamp. When we receive it, we process it and issue them a $25.00 gas card (for the same brand of fuel or for the supermarket where they purchased their food) and mail it back to them. When the consumer receives the card they can use it at any fuel station or food store that accepts that gift card.
6. Who pays the difference between what the gas or grocery certificates costs me and the $25 gas or grocery gift card?
The company we work with is the Fuel Redemption Company, who have strategic alliances with many major companies across the U.S., in Puerto Rico and in Canada to underwrite the cost of the gas and grocery cards that are sent to consumers when they redeem one of the gas or grocery certificates.
7. Can I put my logo on the certificates?
Absolutely. In fact we encourage it. What better way to remind a customer who gave them the opportunity to participate in the Gas & Grocery Redemption program than by having your logo and/or business name on the certificate they have to fill out in order to participate.
8. I only want 5 or 10 certificates to try them out?
We are very sorry, but the minimum order is 25 certificates of any one type (fuel or food) or denomination ($50, $100, $150, $250, $300, $450, and $500).
9. I want to try it first to make sure it works and to see what my customers will be going through, can you give me a certificate to try?
That is very admirable that you want to make sure you customers experience is a good one. We commend you highly for caring about your customer this deeply. Unfortunately, we cannot give you a certificate to try. If we did, we'd have to give one to every prospective customer who asked and that number is in the tens-of-thousands of businesses across the United States, Canada and in Puerto Rico. That is just not possible for us to do. Besides, if you do try a certificate to see if the program works it could be up to 10-12 weeks before you ever get your first gift card. Waiting that long will only give your competitor the opportunity to get your customers with this offer before you do. The answer is to try a test order of just 25 certificates. And then refer to #8 of these FAQs.
10. What specific brands of gas stations and grocery store chains participate in this program?
ALL GAS BRANDS AND GROCERY STORES (SUPER MARKETS) ARE AVAILABLE. Not all underwrite the program but a consumer can choose ANY gas brand OR supermarket they want. If it is not listed among the ones on the redemption site then they simply choose OTHER and tell us the NAME of that brand or market. We will contact the headquarters for that brand to see if they have gas or food gift cards available. If they do, then that is the card the consumer will get. If they do NOT have a gas or food gift card then we will replace it with a $25 VISA or AMEX card instead.
11. Does the $25 gift card that my customer receives every month have to be spent/used at the brand of gas station or supermarket they selected upon registering the certificate?
No, customers are given a $25 gift card that can be used to purchase anything, even more gas/groceries.
12. Do these gas or grocery certificates expire?
Certificates which are printed with an expiration date expire on the printed date. Otherwise the certificates are only good for 1 year from the date of purchase. We do not recommend you order them and then hang on to them. Give them away as fast as you can. That means more customers, more sales and more money for your business.
13. Is there a time limit that my customer has to activate and use their gas or food certificate?
Once your customer activates the gas or grocery certificate you gave them they should start collecting receipts the 1st of the very next month. When they reach $100, they need to send them to us so we can issue them their $25 gift card. They must submit gas or grocery receipts equaling $100 each month for the length of the redemption period.
14. What happens if my customer does not send in receipts one month?
Unfortunately, they will lose that month’s worth of redemption. The companies underwriting the program are looking for brand loyalty every month.
15. Can I buy the certificates from you and then sell them to my customers?
No. You cannot sell our certificates to your customer or any other consumer. The certificate MUST be given away or included in a bundle price for your product or service.
16. How many certificates do I have to purchase?
Not many. We have a minimum purchase requirement of 25 certificates. There is NO limit on the amount you can purchase, and the more you purchase, the better the pricing.
17. Can I mix and match the denominations of certificates?
As long as you buy the minimum of 25 certificates per denomination, of course you can mix and match between the $50, $100, $150, $250, $300, $450, and $500 denominations.
18. Ok, I'm convinced these will help me make more money. How do I get started?
That's an easy one. Contact us directly for additional pricing information or to place your first order. Our friendly and experienced sales team will walk you through the process, every step of the way.

Video - The Most Fun Medium of Marketing!
Easy Video Producer
Take a look around the internet today and one thing you’ll see more of is videos. More and more, even the ‘gurus’ are making use of this medium to advertise their products and services.
Do you doubt me on that?
If so, think about the last big launch?
Who was the guru and what did he say?
No, I don’t mean what did he write, I mean what did he ‘say’.
Because, invariably, every single launch that’s happened over the past few months not only had an element of video in its sales letter……in most cases, the video IS the sales letter. Yes, you may see a page with writing on it, but count the number of words.
Chances are, you could actually count the words in a matter of seconds. Before video I couldn’t imagine anyone would want to even attempt to count the words –the sales letters for big launches are way too long.And let’s face it, when it comes to high ticket, expensive products, the sales pitch has got be substantial as most people want to know as much as possible about a product before they splash out that amount of money.
The good thing with video is now you can write a sales pitch as long as you want, and people will most likely site there and watch it… especially if the delivery is entertaining.Now tell me, when was the last time you found a written sales letter entertaining?
I mean, yes, sometimes they are but, for the most part, you can’t afford to use humor in the written sales letter.
Video opens up avenues which were never available before to any business.Or, for that matter, any individual just wanting to get his or her diary online in video form.Sure, you could upload a video to YouTube or one of the multitudes of video sites, but not everyone wants to stick their videos on a public forum that size. There may be certain types of videos available only to your clients – would you want everyone to see them.
Heck, I know of one martial artist who sticks videos on YouTube which are only supposed to be for his paid members. You can’t get to them through his site, but all you have to do is go to YouTube and type in his name and, hey presto, there they are.
Now, if you’re one of those people who want to keep their videos on individual sites, what happens if you’re not a techie. Well, if you’re anything like me, you’ll go through a whole load of trial and error. Sure, you’ll probably get the video onto your site, as I did, but it could take a whole day… as it did me.
Now, what if you had a facility to put your videos only on your site? And, what if that facility was so easy to use, it literally takes a few minutes to record, edit and upload?
Well, that facility is here, and I’ve used it. If only I had this a couple of years ago - it would have made my life a whole lot easier.
What is this new facility?
Easy Video Producer.
I’m not going to tell you how amazing it is or how much easier it has made my life or anything like that.
However, if I did, it would be true.
The good thing is, it’s available for nothing. Yup, absolutely free.

EVP is an awesome product!
EVP is an awesome product. After many years as a commissioned salesman, I know that the personal,face to face sit down is key. I also found it hard to transfer my offline success online. Until, I started using WEB 2.0 tools to my advantage.
However, those only work once you have captured the right details, and built up trust through, written communications. For most of us this is hard to accomplish. We wind up having to learn to communicate in a medium that is not comfortable to the majority of us, and hard to instill confidence in your customer or potential partner.
Easy Video Producer has broken that barrier for the average person. We simply hit record and leave a message for a friend. All those important facial expressions and tones are conveyed immediately to the visitor and does increase sign ups to your list.
Every person that depends on customer relations to earn an income should be using this medium to share and brand themselves as the person you want to build a relationship and/or do business with.
Imagine showcasing your products with a live pic right from you home office.

Viral Videos For List Building !
All experience marketers know the old adage that “the money is in the list “.Network marketers have developed contact lists in many different ways over the years. Generally a sign up form is offered with a free giveaway. Someone simply fills out the form with a name and e-mail address to “opt in” to the autoresponder and the free giveaway is provided to them. In return for that, they generally understand that they have granted permission for whoever made the offer to follow up with other e-mails with other offers.
Several years ago the singular e-mail opt-in was taken a step further when software was developed that asked the first recipient to forward the offer to 4-5 of there friends in order to qualify for the free giveaway, or perhaps even a very low priced offering. Hence, list building became viral, meaning that a single e-mail to a single individual could be multiplied in a near exponential manner as each level of opt-ins continued to forward the offer to even more people.
The Web 2.0 World
Of course the latest to trend in the network and internet marketing community is the Web 2.0 world of blogs, YouTube, Twitter and the like. The use of videos in various social networks in order to communicate and establish a following with the subscribers has become ubiquitous. The net result of all this is that seemingly the most effective way to communicate with potential subscribers, or even to acquire subscribers and customers these days is probably through the use of videos.
Videos have a number of advantages, including the ability to present yourself as a sincere and a knowledgeable person in a face-to-face way. A potential subscriber or customer is more likely to buy from someone they they feel like they know. So
consequently, it’s almost imperative these days that you use the video medium in order to communicate with potential prospects to turn them into eventual customers.
The New Viral Video World
Interestingly, a new video software system to build a contact list and potentialcustomer list virally has been introduced. Internet guru Joel Therien, CEO ofKiosk.ws, is in the process of launching very easy to use video building software called Easy Video Producer that has the potential to be a very effective way of generating contacts in a viral manner. This system is unique because the software itself is being offered as the free giveaway for this video “tell-a-friend” system. Essentially, the system will offer you free and extraordinarily easy to use video generating software that builds and posts your personally produced video and information capture form on a website or blog. A contact management system is included with the free offer as well.
The viral concept is that you would then attract traffic to introduce yourself to the prospect in a more personal way, offering them the opportunity to opt in and use the same free software that you used to prepare the video. The prospect and new contact would in turn use his free new system to attract even more potential contacts for his list and yours as well.
As in the earlier e-mail systems, the originator of the viral distribution of the free software would have access to every subscriber in the levels below him. So, what is offered is a system that provides a free and very simple (even a cave man could do it) method of posting videos to the internet that have a specific purpose of giving away additional software in a viral manner to capture a fast growing network of contacts with whom you can continue to build a relationship.
The Issues I See
The problems with this system are not dissimilar from those in other earlier systems of using free giveaways to build a list. . You first must be able to get your video in front of an audience and in order for them to subscribe, and they in turn must have an audience to subscribe in order for the system to work effectively. It can probably be most effectively used by someone who already has a subscriber list and wants to expand it rapidly.
Another potential negative is that the the new contacts you generate with this list, both directly and indirectly, are not yet buyers and it’s likely that many of them will have no interest in your particular marketing niche. Proper strategy of course is to build credibility over time through a series of value adding free offers that are designed to help categorize their interests. Only then should you move on to the stage of offering them the opportunity to buy your stuff.
This new easy video producer software system appears to offer a simple and easy, no cost way for the experienced, and particularly the relatively inexperienced non-technical networker to make effective use of videos for viral list building, and business promotion.

Several years ago the singular e-mail opt-in was taken a step further when software was developed that asked the first recipient to forward the offer to 4-5 of there friends in order to qualify for the free giveaway, or perhaps even a very low priced offering. Hence, list building became viral, meaning that a single e-mail to a single individual could be multiplied in a near exponential manner as each level of opt-ins continued to forward the offer to even more people.
The Web 2.0 World
Of course the latest to trend in the network and internet marketing community is the Web 2.0 world of blogs, YouTube, Twitter and the like. The use of videos in various social networks in order to communicate and establish a following with the subscribers has become ubiquitous. The net result of all this is that seemingly the most effective way to communicate with potential subscribers, or even to acquire subscribers and customers these days is probably through the use of videos.
Videos have a number of advantages, including the ability to present yourself as a sincere and a knowledgeable person in a face-to-face way. A potential subscriber or customer is more likely to buy from someone they they feel like they know. So
consequently, it’s almost imperative these days that you use the video medium in order to communicate with potential prospects to turn them into eventual customers.
The New Viral Video World
Interestingly, a new video software system to build a contact list and potentialcustomer list virally has been introduced. Internet guru Joel Therien, CEO ofKiosk.ws, is in the process of launching very easy to use video building software called Easy Video Producer that has the potential to be a very effective way of generating contacts in a viral manner. This system is unique because the software itself is being offered as the free giveaway for this video “tell-a-friend” system. Essentially, the system will offer you free and extraordinarily easy to use video generating software that builds and posts your personally produced video and information capture form on a website or blog. A contact management system is included with the free offer as well.
The viral concept is that you would then attract traffic to introduce yourself to the prospect in a more personal way, offering them the opportunity to opt in and use the same free software that you used to prepare the video. The prospect and new contact would in turn use his free new system to attract even more potential contacts for his list and yours as well.
As in the earlier e-mail systems, the originator of the viral distribution of the free software would have access to every subscriber in the levels below him. So, what is offered is a system that provides a free and very simple (even a cave man could do it) method of posting videos to the internet that have a specific purpose of giving away additional software in a viral manner to capture a fast growing network of contacts with whom you can continue to build a relationship.
The Issues I See
The problems with this system are not dissimilar from those in other earlier systems of using free giveaways to build a list. . You first must be able to get your video in front of an audience and in order for them to subscribe, and they in turn must have an audience to subscribe in order for the system to work effectively. It can probably be most effectively used by someone who already has a subscriber list and wants to expand it rapidly.
Another potential negative is that the the new contacts you generate with this list, both directly and indirectly, are not yet buyers and it’s likely that many of them will have no interest in your particular marketing niche.

New Video Software Let’s You Create Video Easily and Quickly!
As an internet marketer I am interested in keeping up with new ideas and trends in internet marketing. Since I have been on the internet for a long time doing things like creating my own internet city, website promotion, making money on the internet, I have seen the internet change by leaps and bounds.
Today, in order to be relevant in internet marketing your website or blog has to do more than just be a static webpage, now you have to have content and different methods to share that content such as having your own blog, perhaps forums, and now the biggie, video. With increasing access to broadband, video is now possible for virtually everyone to use. Video has become the new must have have, not only for internet marketers but for everyone who has a website.
Local Biz Owners who have a website can especially benefit from video. With video, there are new opportunities to get out your message, advertise your business, make video postcards, send video e-mails create how-to the ideas are endless.
We website owners however, are thinking gee we want to get in on the video thing, but it is something else we have to learn how to do, another learning curve, and for many of us the idea just sort of fizzles.
I am excited because I don’t have to miss out this time, because I lack the expertise to create and broadcast videos or perhaps I just don’t have the time.
I found a unique new software I thought I would check out, to see if I could use it. I was hoping it would be easy to use, to create video and then put it on my website. I also wanted the video to look good, something I wouldn’t mind people watching and/or downloading to pass it around.
Well I couldn’t believe it. This software made it drop dead easy to make videos and to put them on my website. I actually was able to make a quality, professional looking video in less than 5 min. This sounds crazy I know, but I did it.
If video is something you have been wanting to do but felt really intimidated by it up to this point, you might want to try this software for yourself, because the best part is you can use the software and it doesn’t cost you anything. That was important to me because I didn’t know if I would be able to use the software, and I didn’t want to pay for something I wasn’t sure I could even use.
