Too Powerful for Youtube…

Video Removed From Youtube:

This strategy was so powerful youtube removed it. I’m not sure why, but I guess they don’t want us dominating social media. Don’t worry, they won’t stop us! We’ll be a little more covert from now on…

I will have to make this announcement tomorrow. Get on the list and I’ll find another server to upload it to that can handle such a heavy duty traffic load.

This is totally crazy, but I guess now I’m going to have to be a little more secretive and not quite as open about how we can dominate social media. I’m not sure how anyone at youtube found out, but I suspect that they had someone watching this.

I apologize for the delay. I really wanted to share this video with you tonight. I’ll keep you posted, make sure your on the email list.

Aloha,
Brian

Disappointed. At first I thought I was doing something wrong. Because youtube said the video had been pulled for some reason. Then a few minutes late you told the reason why. I think all these things the social media (like facebook kicking people out, and youtube not showing this video are doing) are violating our freedom of speech.

Bill, you’re absolutely right. You have to play within their rules or else you can’t play the game. I’ve totally mastered every nuance with Facebook, youtube pulling this video is weird. This is also why you need to be using multiple social media accounts so if you ever do get banned (it does happen to people sometimes), you don’t have all your eggs in one basket. Fortunately, I’ve never been banned from any social site. This is actually the worst social media blunder that’s ever happened to me, which isn’t so bad :)

Nevermind, at least we were kept in suspense.

If it was too big, why not do it in separate parts?
My motto is “You can’t tell me it can’t be done!” and therefore, you have to think laterally about this challenge. I have my own challenges to conquer and have my hands full, however, where there is a will, there is a way!

@Marie Absolutely! I’ll have it up later today. Just a minor delay, nothing that can’t be worked around.

Brian,

What I love is how a delay like this works to increase the anticipation, curiosity and mystery of “The Mania”. All because you guys are sharp enough to use marketing ju jitsu on the momentum and direct it where you want it to go.

By trying to stop you, or at least slow you down, YouTube is ultimately going to help you have an even bigger impact.

A more cynical person than I might even think this was all a part of your master plan, but then the cynical guy wouldn’t be following you this far would he?

I believe in you, love you and am reminding myself patience is still considered a virtue.

Unlimited Blessings,

Dean,
It actually wasn’t planned. I know some people may not believe it, but I’d rather honor my word than trick people. It’s actually a little embarassing to have the video pulled, LOL :)

Brian, I know how excited you were about this and I am absolutely certain that you were momentarily stunned when the video was pulled.

I am also just as certain that you are not likely to let that or anything else stop you. You are on a mission!

I am with you.

Disappointed that you are advocating multiple social media accounts. I would prefer to play it straight. As you have mastered the social media for money surely you could evangelize best practise for your followers? Or am just essentially English reserved lol

Look forward to watching the progress!

looking forward to seeing the video. You are right you have to play within their rules or you cant play at all…. I had all my YouTube channels pulled yesterday, have no idea why.. but they are gone… so I set about putting all my videos back up again… only have another 10 to go… to bad about all the friends and subscribers… must have been doing something wrong I gues :-)
