Shameless Blog Promotion

I guess I do have a lot of time on my hands. Well actually I don’t, but I found time (stayed up late) to make a little movie that shamelessly promotes my blog. If you have 2 minutes (and 53 seconds), I’d like to show it to you.

C’mon, click the button. I promise I won’t rub dirt on your carpet and then blog about the many ways I can get the stain out. Nor will this shameless blog promotion stain your clothes (I hope you don’t either), it does not contain background music (okay there’s a little at the end), but if you want to hum “We are the World” while you read it, that would not be inappropriate and best of all, it’s rated G for girl needs a life! Please dim the lights…

If I had some animation skills, I could do a better video. I might look into doing something really, really simple, like talking stick figures and hand puppets. So if one day you have nothing to post, throw this up there and join in the shameless blog promotion movement. Spread the Word!

P.S. Have you done any shameless blog promotion? What did you do?

EDIT: Same shameless blog promotion, but with music this time. Pick your pleasure, you can have it both ways. With music or without. Hey when you guys are right, you’re right. I’m shrugging my shoulders. Ahh, it was fun and shameless!

    Haha. that’s cool. I would have liked some soft music all the way through, though.

    I haven’t done any self-promotion… shameless or otherwise. But now that the new site is up… I’m going to put myself out there more though. I wanna see just how far I can go!

    You kidding me, all I do is shameless. I loved it, I agree with Jillian, it needed music. I liked the narration in the beginning, very witty. Props!

    Hey nameless, I had fun working with The Thinking Man. He can be a bit of a stiff sometimes, but we’re still friends.

    JEMi, those were the good old days, School House Rock. I don’t know what this mess is on TV today. :)

    Jillian, I was debating about the music, even tried it, but I ended up with some darn jazz piece and it so didn’t fit the movie. I didn’t know what song to put up there, so I said, ahhh, but next time…we will. When you do your shameless blog promotion, let me know if you haven’t blogged about it, would love to see it.

    Joe you are everywhere and I love it! You make a lot of videos. Yeah music would have made it nicer. Next time. Thanks for the suggestions y’all.

    I spend more time trying to promote my husband’s writing than I do my blog, to be honest. My blog is just a hobby for me. I appreciate those who visit & leave comments & whatnot, but it’s more about self-expression & sharing my little corner of the world than it is about getting people to come see it. I’d rather be painting or bird watching than trying to get people to visit my blog, y’know?

    now that was one of the finest shamless blog promotions I have seen…:)))))

  8. 8Natural

    Hey Lana, that’s a nice thing for you to do for your husband. I understand what you mean about it being a hobby and thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and painting. I like peeking into your neck of the woods. My shameless blog promotion is me being silly and truthful at the same time, I can’t help it, this is a giddy week for me. ;)

    Robert, next time, you’ll have to star in one of my movies. It was fun, I wish I had some other skills to create a short movie, but I don’t…looks like I’m stuck writing words on copyrighted pictures. :)

    Hi Natural.

    That was great! You always surprise me when I come and visit you. That’s what I like about you. You’re unpredictable. :)

    That promo ROCKED. I love it!

    I did one a long time ago (2 years ago?) when I still had a blogger account. Its only 6 seconds long.

    the youtube link is:

    Natural, That was great! I wish you could teach me how to do that. I put a little video on my blog a week ago and I did it through Blogger - what a chore! I used a digital camera and I sound like I have a bad lisp. I’m reading a poem called “Orson Swells” so you can just imagine what that sounds like.
    I tried to get it on Youtube, but that didn’t work out since my server keeps crapping out on me.

    Anyway - I’m all for self-promotion. It thought it was inventive and fun and entertaining. Good work!

    I’ll be back more often,

    Thanks Meleah Rebeccah. I joined YouTube last year, again, I don’t know why…I’ll have to look you up so I can watch your video.

    Hey Poetikat, thanks, glad you enjoyed. If you want to know how to do a video, I’ll be glad to help, shoot me an email. I’ll have to go view your Orson Swells.

    Thanks Meleah, your comment, the 1st one was sitting in my spam box. Shame on Akismet!

    What I really would like to do is rewrite Mariah’s song, “Touch My Body” to “Touch My Bloggie”. That would be a hoot, the video is already revealing itself to me. She might not like the spoof, but it would be funny. I’d give her 5%. I’m off to check out your video and add you as a friend.
