Blog World Expo – Advice from Tim Ferriss

A nice video interview with Tim. You two do have similar philosiphies! Tim's 4 hour work week is the bomb too by the way!

It is something good to see someone younger than you being so successful in blogging world right?

It's so great that you got to meet Tim Ferriss and get a quote from him. I'm a big fan of his book, The 4-Hour Workweek which inspired me to write my first book, Boss of Me!. I live, breathe and eat Tim's work smart, play hard mantra. Great work!

A very nice advice for people to pay attention for, thanks john

Oh man Blog World Expo would have been worth the ticket price just to talk to this guy! I love his book...it fuels my life!

Great advice. Is SEO consultant's job in danger? As SEO-All-In-One is all you need for SEOing.

Great advice from Tim. I love his book, it's a great manifesto.

John + Tim together? Count them in for the power win! I can imagine the energy you're generating being so close! :D

BTW, I've used many services including Viddler, and found Vimeo and blip.tv to have the highest quality. I'd like to use Viddler more, but as you can see in the movie above, it has some vertical aliasing problems which are blocky/ugly.

Here's more of my findings, if you'd like to see:

Hey, great video, John!

But, I'd like to do a little suggestion: please, put some text document containing dialogs, because sometimes it's very difficult to understand what is being talked and I don't wanna miss any information. :)

If you publish some text file, I can offer my help to translate it to Portuguese, so you'd have a bigger audience.

I prefer videos and texts in original Language, but some people don't. :)

John chow,

Are you publish your videos on viddler because it's better than youtube?

thanks

Good tips. I especially agree about networking. You really have to put yourself & your blog out there because in the end, no one is going to do it for you. And he has a great blog.

very good advice.. hmmm time to find my passion

I've heard of Tim but had not heard him until now. I should check out his book.

The review of the book seems good , i ll have to check it out thanks for the info John

Pictures are better than videos man wake up!

Yeah... was simple suggestions. But great suggestions. I also like the idea of writing articles for people.. not for the search engine.

Have read some stuff from Tim.. and wow.. that guy must be very fun to meet in person, and to talk about general stuff.

4 hour work week is a great read.

Tim Ferris is the MAN. Simple advice but exactly what I realized recently... its too late to try to brown nose the big shots like Jon Chow, Digg power users, and anyone else in the blogosphere that is influential...

Take advantage of the many outlets of meeting them... Most of them are down to earth people... who you have a much better chance of winning over or charming via in face meeting than email.

Good advice, slight problem with me living in the UK. I would love to attend and meet up with people but it's just too god damn expensive. Any fellow UK bloggers/IM's here?

Some good advice that some people really need to take to heart.

Acutally I noticed that Viddler is what Gary Vee uses and he has 10s of 1000s of visits a day do it seems to be able to handle the traffic and great video quality as John says.

Tim Ferris is fantastic. He really forces you to cut the bull of what is busy and what is just busywork

Connecting with bloggers in your area on Craig's List or something might be a good way to network in your local area. Definitely a good way to stand out in someone's eyes, meeting them in person.

Hey John, what program do you use to edit your videos? Is it free? I am looking for something free and easy. Just simple editing and text would be nice. Thanks!

Great advice he has. The first chance I get at meeting other bloggers in person, you bet I'll be on it. And I love that everyone keeps talking about writing for your readers first and the search engines will follow.

Why do you use viddler these days to host your videos John?
