In my new video, more than a year in the making, over 100 people from all seven continents contribute to show how people spread ideas and tell stories.
Here is a direct link to the video on YouTube.
How did you do THAT?
New free ebook about how the video was made.
As I was passing around the work-in-progress video that resulted in How will YOU create a World Wide Rave?, everyone had a question about some aspect of it. How did you come up with the name World Wide Rave? The music is cool—what is it? How did you get so many photos and videos from around the world? As I answered each question, I thought back on the more than one year that the video has been in the works and the more than 100 people from all seven continents who contributed to it.
I chronicle the making of the video in a new free ebook that you can download here How Will YOU Create a World Wide Rave? Making of the Video
What's so cool about ideas that spread is that people WANT to share.
Thanks to everybody who contributed. If you’d like to put a banner on your blog, please do! I'd be honored. You can point to this post.

That was awesome, so many people coming together.
To bad we can't start a RAVE on changing the Health of the world for a better world

Fantastic job on the video and the ebook David! Love the book too.

Nice work, David!
Man, you're both viral, and pervasive. I believe that's a part of the formula: to create compelling enough content to not only see a surge in adoption, but to see that adoption get outside your own echo chamber (did I REALLY say 'echo chamber'? Shame on me).
Well done. David, you are most definitely one of the most solid performers in this market. You continue to boil-down the essence of what's really vital into digestible, engaging guidance.
Thanks again for an excellent how-to (with moving pictures!). Looking forward to the book.
best,
Mark Alan Effinger

What a great WWR to be involved with! Lots of fun, and so cool for you to have so many people involved in so many places.
Looking forward to reading the book. I've already read the e-book of course!
As you know, we've adopted many of your previously outlined strategies (as written in the New Rules of Marketing and PR) for yBC, and they have had a huge impact. They absolutely work, and we are converts. Evangelists even!
Hope you are having a productive and interesting time in Istanbul.
Cheers
Mark

I am running a small internet marketing business as my side business. This has helped me cut time when I’m free from my busy schedule. I really get satisfaction when I am my own boss.

Awesome video. I loved your last book, can't wait to get my hands on this one! Keep up the fantastic work, you inspire us all!
...and thanks for commenting on my blog last week, I hope you don't mind my shameless plug :-)

Video is making an explosion online these days. I cant wait to read your book. One way I create traffic with video right now is by posting to http://www.Adwido.com the account is Free. Plus they help increase search engine traffic with targeted keyword campaigns.
