Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. I’m currently sitting in this beautiful location in Bali. I’m actually in my resort right now and I just wanted to share some really interesting things that I’ve learned just from being in Bali for the these last few days. This is pretty much near in the end of my trip and I’ll be heading back in Australia very soon but for the people out there, this is rather than a technical it’s going to be anything about outsourcing. Today, I just want to share with you more about holiday tips and things that I’ve learned along just coming through Bali.
Now, I just want to ride through three tips about the things that I recommend doing and also just keeping your eye up while you’re traveling. These are more or less travel tips if you want to say, part of the lifestyle kind of thing about what I talk about on my blog. So the first thing I want to just share with you is when I first arrived in Bali, I arrived in the evening around about the 9:30 kind of mark. About 9:30 to about midnight, it’s actually peak time and something that I learned and I realized was if you come on a peak time, it’ll take you very, very long time just to check out and even get your visa completed at the airport.
It took us about an hour and a half to be able to get out of the airport once we arrived. So you don’t want to get into that if you choose to arrive in Bali like that. So one thing I recommend doing is trying to arrange the flight around about mid morning to about afternoon. That’s when is the quietest time to come in. And, to get your visa is a pretty big thing. If you don’t have a visa before you actually come in, you can bide on the spot but to get on the spot and get through all those lines is just humongous and the lines and the cues are really very long. But once you get passed that visa part, the visa part was probably say three quarters of the time and then ten minutes left to just pickup your luggage and catch a cab. That’s how long it took.
I think if I count it correctly, there are over a thousand people that arrived to the airport. And because the terminal was quite small, it took a while to get out. So tip number 1 is just to arrive into Bali or any location probably around about the mid morning to about afternoon time. That way, you can avoid all the cues and enjoy your trip a lot more.
Second tip, I just want to provide for you is just make sure that when you, before you hop onto to any cab or going to any truck or van that you take, negotiate and agree on a certain price because what I found is that they have one price for meter, and one price just to take you to one location. And, if you’re staying at a hotel or staying somewhere that is quite nice as well, they’ll put a surcharge on top of that and you’ll be expected to pay extra 20 to 30% on top of what you expected to pay normally.
So what I would suggest to you is if you’re going to catch a cab, say for example from your hotel, don’t ask your hotel to get you a cab because what they’ll do is they’ll charge you to double the price. Just walk outside which is what I did. Two minutes outside of a hotel and just wave for a cab and they’ll just give you a definite price.
And to get that, you’ll probably see…let’s just say for example, if you’re getting from say Nusa Dua all the way over to Kuta, it’ll probably cost you at most 80,000 in a van or a taxi. So just keep that in mind, and that’s 80,000Rp which is roughly about $10 AU or about $9 US. So that’s one thing that I recommend, second tip is just to make sure you negotiate and you agree on one certain price.
Then the last thing I want to recommend you to do, the third final point is just make sure you buy your own water because your body might not be used to the water that you have, drinking around the local water and you may get certain stomach problems. So I highly recommend if you’re going to travel, just buy bottled water all the time because bottled water is usually refined and purified in the factories before they get shipped out and put into the bottles. Once you’ve done that, then you should be safe. And, the bottled water at most probably say 20c if you want to look at in terms of dollars but it’s very cheap to buy. You can buy bottles and bottles of it.
That’s that we’ve done, we just bought bottles and bottles of water and just drunk purified water from the bottles. That’s very safe and obviously I’m still sitting here right now.
Yeah, so that’s the last three tips I wanted to give you — three tips that I highly recommend before you do travel and also during your travel just to prepare those things and make sure that you’ll have it beating on hand. So I’ve had an excellent trip and I’m really excited to come back home also as well but I’m not looking forward to coming back to cold weather. The weather here is roughly about 25 to about 30 degrees, it’s beautiful tropical weather, location’s great. You’ll probably hear the kids running in the background where I’m staying but what I’m doing right now is just relaxing and having a great time. I just want to spend a few minutes just to share with you what I’m currently doing.
So, I’ll talk to you soon once I get back to Australia. And, hopefully there you’ve got anything that you want to leave — feedback, comments, your experiences probably if you’ve come to Bali as well, this is my first time so I’ve been really, really enjoying and having a really, really relaxing time and spending time with the beach, been also shopping and also checking a lot of tours as well and been doing a lot of exciting things. Today for me, we went on rafting so it’s pretty much adventure day for me today. All right, any feedback, any comments, just leave it right below here and I’d love to hear your stories as well if you’ve been to Bali.
That’s it for me today, have a great one and I’ll catch you soon. Bye for now!

Hi it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video, I’m going to be sharing with you some really awesome tips and I’m very excited to share these with you because this is the background or the backbone of my success for the blog and everything else that you’ve seen from the front-end as well.
So in this video, I’m going to be sharing with you some how-to tips on how to create video, how to generate traffic from videos and also some places where you can get traffic to convert them back over into subscribers onto your database. I know there’s going to be a lot in here but I’m just going to give some really, really key points in this video so that you can take that away, implement and take some action.
One last thing as well just to mention is at the end of this video, remember to also stay tune to see the report that I’m going to be showing you, a 90-page report that has been released by my good friend Gideon Shalwick. In that report, there are 90 pages of really step by step blueprint of how to create videos, generate traffic, and so forth. Everything that I’ve learned is directly from Gideon. You’ll be able to take all that information away and implement it. It’s all for free as well so make sure at the end of this video, check that out.
All right, let’s get started. The first thing is that the way I go about generating videos or how to create videos is actually very, very simple. You don’t need anything that’s too fancy. Currently, as I’m talking to you right now, I’m just using my Macbook Pro and my trusty little microphone here. I know you can see that this is an expensive microphone here, it looks expensive. It’s just a Rode Podcaster, it’s a little bit over $200 to buy brand new but you don’t need to go and spend that much money to get really high quality microphone. Just a simple microphone, like a Logitech small one that’s probably about 40bucks or so, you can probably get away with that and be able to record some really, really simple and easy videos which you can just upload onto YouTube.
It’s not about how the screen looks or anything like that; what’s more important is the quality of your content. Just like me right now, I’m talking to you on this video and just presenting to you just who I am currently in my little study room in front of my Macbook Pro and I’ve just got a microphone plugged straight into it. So it’s actually not that hard to create videos. You don’t have to make it look as though it’s really fancy, astonishing or anything like that. Sometimes you do see me in front of a camera using my Flip Mino which is right over here. This little Flip Mino is only about couple hundred dollars and you probably have seen in my previous videos, I’ve listed out the equipment that I use. But this stuff doesn’t cost much at all. For around about no more than $400, and your trusty laptop, you can get yourself some really, really high quality definition videos online.
So I just thought I can give you a quick summary of what you can use and what you can do to create some quick videos. To top that off, there are some free softwares which you can also use as well. And, one that I’ve used in the past is called Screenr.com. That’s a free screen capture software that allows you to capture five minutes worth of screen capture. So right now, what I’m doing is showing you if you have a look at my blog, it’s my little mouse pointing to everything clicking on the blog, this is just a screen capture showing you how to do whatever I’m doing right now. You can do it as well, it’s so easy to do and you can have a picture on, on the screen like I’m doing right now and post it up as a video. A lot of people like that and the fact is that they can see exactly what you’re doing on the tutorial.
So that’s the first key point, it’s how to create a video simple, fast and easy. This is something that you can do right now. It takes five minutes or so to get all that stuff all setup and once you’ve got that all setup, you’re up and running.
All right, the second point I just want to share with you is once you’ve got your video posted onto YouTube, I’ll show YouTube right now, you can actually comment on other people’s YouTube channels and what you want to do is if you want to do is if generate traffic from those channels, all you have to do is hop on their channels and leave a comment saying how good their video is, saying what you can contribute back to them and write something of value. Hopefully, when people look through your comments and read that as some valuable comment and you’re contributing back to the community, they’ll come and visit your channel and also see what you’re doing. So that’s a very simple tip that you can do to be able to be able to create and generate traffic from other people’s blogs.
The third tip that I want to share with you is capturing those leads. Now, there’s no point getting them come and watch your video and hopefully after watching your video, they’ll know who you are. What you want to do is to start building relationships with these people because once you’ve created these videos, you want them to be able to see and come back and be part of your newsletter, subscribe to your channel or what not. What you want to do is capture them to go straight to your blog. What you’ll notice right here, as you can see there’s a http://www.tyroneshum.com. A lot of people fail to put this inside their description and what I usually do is at the beginning of every single description I put in, I put my blog address. So if people want to find out more about me, they’ll click on that and it’ll be taken straight to my blog. And, what you’ll find is that people when they first see your blog, you’ll have a pop-up which asks them to subscribe to your channel or subscribe to your newsletter. That’s a really, really powerful way to be able to capture your list of subscribers.
I currently use Aweber to do this and I highly, highly recommend if you’re building a blog and you’re building up a video channel with what can you see there, build it up with Aweber. Aweber really, really helps you to be able to track up and keep track of who’s on the database. So that’s tip number three. It’s to make sure that you encourage them to subscribe onto your channel and to subscribe also to your newsletter as well.
All right, and then the final tip that I want to share with you, this tip is very important. It’s all about consistency and making sure that you consistently follow this through. You’ll notice that I consistenly post atleast every second day a new video online. The more videos that you have online on your YouTube channel, the more chances of having more traffic coming back to your video channel. It’s crucial by doing this because the more people will see it, obviously the more people will follow you. So consistently atleast a minimum once a week, post a new video onto your channel or post it onto YouTube. That way, you’re continuing to generate traffic and ongoing traffic to your blog and to any of your videos and that’s a very, very powerful tip that I can recommend to do.
All right, I hope you’ve enjoyed all these tips that I’ve given you. These are very powerful tips and I highly, highly recommend that if you do get a chance to implement this, take action right now. Now, one thing before you do go as I said at the beginning, recently Gideon Shalwick has created a brand new report called Rapid Video Blogging and it’s really, really powerful strategy which I’ve implemented already in my business. I’ve already been doing this for many, many months and that’s because I’m really good friends and close friends with Gideon and he asked me to give at a go. So I said, “All right, I’ll give it a try.” And I’ve achieved astounding results. So I’m proof that it does work.
But, if you want to be able to achieve all these, I highly recommend checking out his report which is a full 90-page of really, really good content and if you know Gideon, he just doesn’t hold anything back.
What you’ll do is just click on the link right below here and it’ll be able to take you straight to his blog, his Rapid Video Blogging site, and you’ll be able to download his free report. That free report is a step by step blueprint of how to create videos, how to market and promote them and how to be able to generate those traffic and convert them into subscribers. Then, if you’re running it as a business, it can perfectly convert them into cash or dollars. So it’s got everything in there and I highly, highly recommend checking it out. So the links are just right below there and you can click on it right now.
All right, I’m going to finish it right now. If you have any more questions, or comments or feedback that you want to leave, just feel free to leave them right below here. I love to hear how you go with your journey as well and if once you’ve read the report, love you to leave the feedback as well. I’ll be able to help you answering your questions because I’ve been through this and I know exactly what Gideon teaches. I can definitely attribute to be able to say how much I know and also help you with that as well.

Previously, I shared with you top free video hosting solutions that allow you to straightaway distribute videos anywhere and anytime without costing you both time and budget. If you haven’t watch that yet, I recommend you check it out first. So today, I’m going to be sharing with you all the solutions that I use in my business that are paid but will still not cost you a lot money.
If you usually create long videos such as interviews or podcasts, you could use these affordable hosting services to take advantage of the limited services in free video websites. See what are these solutions that I use in this video:

Hi, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. This is part two of showing you best and the most affordable and cheap hosting solutions for videos. In the previous video, I’ve showed you the free solutions or the solutions which doesn’t cost you anything. In today’s video, I want to show you all the solutions that I currently use in my business to host it which cost just a little bit money. They’re very cheap as well to be able to run in service.
The reason why you might consider hosting videos and pay for hosting videos is it’s private membership site video information which you don’t want to share with the public or maybe it’s information that you don’t want to be able to disclose via the videos, free video sites such as YouTube and so forth. The reason why I got some of these is because I host very long interviews with bloggers and successful entrepreneurs and so forth and I usually can’t fit all those onto the free service.
Okay, so have a look at Amazon Web Service which is right here. What it’s called is the Amazon S3, you can see it here on this website and it’s basically a service which allows you to host hundreds and hundreds of gigs of data or anything that you really want and what we use the service particularly for is just to host videos and audios for the blog. If you’ve been passed my blog and you’ve seen on my blog there’s an area which you can just click on that says “Download MP3″. You see here on my blog it says here “Download the MP3″.
These mp3s are all hosted on the Amazon S3 service and you can click on this anytime. You’ll see that whenever you click on that link, it’ll take you straight to the Amazon S3 server which is where all the videos are hosted and all the mp3s. It’s great for those kind of things because a lot of services out there just don’t allow you to host large files. All right, jumping back into Amazon S3 web services, I just want to show you quick brief pricing of how much it costs. It’s very, very cheap in my experience just from using this because the fact is that they really are giving you so much space to store a lot of space for like 15cents per gigabyte.
A gigabyte is a thousand megs. On average my…for example my mp3s are probably around about 30 to 40megs at most, that’s max. I can imagine, I can probably be able to store up to 300 mp3s before I have to pay 15cents for the mp3s so that’s how cheap it is. This is what it is here, in US standard, 15cents per gig and if you get up to 15 terabytes, it’s 10cents per gigabyte after that and this is on a monthly basis. So, you can imagine I haven’t paid more than probably about 3 to 4bucks per month just to be able to have all this additional service and hosting and it’s really, really do cheap. This is something that I highly recommend if you want a hosting solution for videos and also for audios as well.
One other thing to mention as well, I found that Amazon web services just to use in general isn’t very easy to use because it’s been designed for programmers and developers but there’s a really neat software that acts like a FTP client called Amazon S3 client bucket which you can download here called Bucket Explorer or the S3 Amazon Bucket Explorer. It does cost a little bit money to buy this but I think it’s not that expensive at all. I’ll just click on it and I’ll show you how much it costs. I bought this a while ago so I don’t quite remember how much it is. There you go, $50 once-off. So once you buy that, you can use this and it acts like a FTP server which allows you to upload all your files directly onto Amazon S3 and you pretty much just run it as though you’re using like FTP server.
So yeah, I highly recommend this one, Bucket Explorer to use with Amazon S3. The next thing I want to show you is…as I’ve showed you previously TubeMogul it’s a free service that allows you to distribute videos all across the Internet, to multiple websites and multiple video services. I currently use Traffic Geyser to also distribute not just only videos but also my podcasts, social bookmarks and also articles throughout the website, throughout the web. This is really a good piece of tool if you can afford to use it. It is $97 per month but it’s really, really powerful once you see how it’s used. So basically just follow the link that I’ve provided below here and you should be able to have access to the Traffic Geyser if you want to use it.
But I’ll just want to show you a quick demo if you just jump into my Traffic Geyser account of what potentially websites you can distribute at to. It goes out to hundreds and hundreds of websites. So let’s have a look here. For example, these are all the video websites that you can see that it goes out to. So there are 20 video websites that Traffic Geyser automatically distributes to once you distribute it once or upload it once to Traffic Geyser. Not only that, you also get podcast sites which there are seven of them, it will also send it out to blog sites for you, social bookmarking sites for you, also article sites for you and yeah, pretty much everything that you see there. It’s very, very powerful once you set all these up. It allows you to do quite a lot of things.
But the most important part as I mentioned previously in the first video if you saw that, is that it allows you to get lots and lots of backlinks and it allows you to move up to search engines very, very quickly as well. That’s how I successfully…everytime I create my videos, I automatically have it submitted by my virtual assistants to Traffic Geyser and send out to all those different websites out there allowing me to create lots of backlinks. At the moment, I’ve got probably tens and thousands of backlinks coming back to Tyroneshum.com which allows me to rank really well in certain areas of my videos.
So that’s the last thing that I recommend if you’re looking to spend a little bit money to host and get some affordable hosting services out here. These things are very, very powerful and these are the tools that I currently use to host all my videos on my website or on my blog and also to distribute it across the Internet. All right, that’s it for this video today, if you have any further questions, any comments or like to share this on FaceBook and to Tweet it, feel free to do so.
I’d love to hear some of your feedback as well, feel free just to leave your comments down below and I hope to see you soon. It’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com today and have a great day and we’ll catch you in the next video. Bye for now.
In today’s video, I will show you the top hosting sites that I use for free. I’ll show you how is it possible to use free distribution services online like YouTube, Viddler and Tubemogul to schedule, launch and distribute videos to different networks that will also automate traffic for your blog posts.
In the next part of the series, I’ll be showing you the affordable hosting services as well which can only cost you no more than 15cents per gigabyte of video. So join me as I take you through these solutions step by step.

Hi there, it’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. In today’s video tutorial, I want to show you some affordable and cheap hosting services that you can use to host all your videos and this was a question that was asked by one of my subscribers on my blog. What I wanted to share with you today is in two different parts.
The first part I’m going to share with you is a cheap solution or free solution I should say where you can host all your videos for free and then the second part, I’m going to show you an affordable, cheap hosting solution which will cost you no more than 15 cents a gigabyte of video which I’ll show you in the next part of the video.
So the first thing I want to show you are the video sites that I currently use to host all my videos for the blog. So let’s hop onto the first one that I want to show you here. The first one that you can see right here is YouTube and YouTube is a service that I use very, very highly to post all my videos up to 10 minutes long. It’s a free service and as long as you abide by their terms and conditions, you can post literally anything that you want.
You can easily dominate your niche inside YouTube. What I found is YouTube has over millions and millions of people coming through so it’s a very highly searched video site and you can easily dominate with a lot of traffic in general, traffic back to your blog or subscribers or wherever you want to drive traffic so I highly recommend using YouTube. The second one that I recommend as well is Viddler. Viddler is an excellent site as well. It’s a great site for people who need to post more than 10 minutes in their videos. YouTube has a restriction of 10 minutes unless you’re a partner with YouTube and a lot of people find it very difficult to be able to get the partnership agreement applied or sent and setup with YouTube. So if you want to post for videos that are longer than 10 minutes long, Viddler is a great place to be able to set that up and you can use it to do pretty much the same thing on what you do with YouTube.
I usually post all my video interviews here or anything that requires me to explain something that’s quite a lot more detail that requires more than 10 minutes. All right to speed it up and to get your video out into market much quicker, and distribute it across numerous sites, I recommend free service called TubeMogul. What TubeMogul allows you to do is to post to YouTube, Blip.tv, Metacafe, all those video sites that are out there and it allows you to post it out to numerous networks giving you lots of backlinks back to your website.
I’ll show you right now how it works on my system because I’m pretty sure a lot of you are probably out there thinking okay, if I post on YouTube, how do I get more backlinks back to my blog? And, you can do this with TubeMogul by getting a few backlinks from different multiple websites. So let’s just jump in to TubeMogul and I’ll show you my Uploads area. Just a little tip here just to share with you at the moment is that I have a lot of videos produced on the backend and I don’t usually distribute them until the day that comes to broadcasting or publishing on the blog. But there’s a really neat trick inside TubeMogul, it’s that you can upload as many videos as you want but just don’t publish them. Say for example, as I’ve mentioned previously, I usually schedule all my video posts out probably around about the beginning of the month. So I might create 10 videos for the month and I have them uploaded onto TubeMogul but they don’t get distributed or published online until the day that comes. It allows you to store your videos on there and what I get my virtual assistants to do is when the day does come out to distribute, I get them to launch it and send it off to the website then post onto the blog automatically for me. So that way, I’ve fast tracked all my videos and at the same I’ve streamlined my systems here so that I can free up my time to do other things. Let’s just hop in here, the most recent video that I’ve done is How To Get More Time Back Using These Productivity Tools. So I’ll click on this just to show you what I mean. All right, as you can see right here, I’ve got five services that I post up my videos to: YouTube, DailyMotion, Yahoo, Metacafe and Blip.tv and these five services allow me just to automatically post it out to those video sites which are all free to do.
But the beauty of doing this is that you post one video up to TubeMogul and it distributes to five multiple sites. Also, the great thing is if you click on More Sites here, you can post to all these other video sites which are all free as well. So if you have all the usernames setup and so forth, you can post to all these video sites for free which is really powerful because what will happen is that your content will get distributed across multiple video sites. Furthermore, allowing incurring in more backlinks into your own video and increasing your search engine ranking as well.
So this is a powerful way to be able to increase your video distribution and also upload and host your videos for free all online. I hope that sharing this with you will give you an idea on how I go about using these free services to post onto my blog. All these are all streamlined to setup on my system for my virtual assistants to complete for me. In my next video, I’ll be showing you exactly what hosting sites that are quite affordable and also cheap to use and you can check those out once I show you in the next video because I’m pretty sure if you have some membership sites or have any videos that you don’t want to post out to the public, these would be very, very good for you to use.
All right, that’s it for this video today. Any feedback, any comments, just leave back down on the blog here. Love you to post this onto FaceBook or Twitter and share with other people out there. If you’ve got any questions, just feel free to send them through and ask me as well. It’s Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com and I’ll talk to you soon in the next video.
