wave-logoOkay. You know you want to get in on the Google Wave thing. Right? Well, if you’re finding it hard to get an invite (though I find that hard to imagine!) you can get them here. I’ve just noticed that I have 25 sitting around waiting to be doled out.

What do you have to do? Not a lot. Really. Okay. There’s no real requirement other than leaving a comment (and obviously filling in your email address which only I’ll be able to see.) I’ll send out the first 25 respondents the invite through Google’s Wave invite system (which looks like this since you probably don’t know ;) ):

Now, if you were so inclined and wanted to also get in on the new video service beta invites from Vidli.com, click here and fill out their three box form.

Easy Peasey!

They are hiring a new Social Media person to help with their launch of what seems like an amazing video licensing and monetization service that will allow anyone to easily monetize uploaded online videos. If nothing else, you’ll want an early invitation to check them out. And you can get that now!

Thanks for your support. RSS subscriptions are always a welcome gift from all of you as well ;)

How Could Vidli.com Monetize a Video of Blue Footed Boobies?

Just a quickie post today before I get to brave the elements (and worse, holiday shoppers!) During my morning reading routine I came across this way too cute video of an actual mating dance between two Blue Footed Boobies. It is possibly the most bizarre and cutest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. Betting it will be for you as well. If you aren’t able to see the video, here’s the link to the Blue Footed Booby Mating Dance on YouTube.

Now, if plumdiggity, instead of just posting that video up on Youtube, had used Vidli.com, The Official Video Licensor, they might have been able to make some money.

I’m not sure how many views it will take, but if nearly 40,000 people are interested in the video content you create, you can bet some of them are going to be willing to pay to see it.

And this is where Vidli comes in. The company is nearing its launch and has opened up beta invitation sign ups. They are also looking for a Social Media Person to bring on board. As such they’ve concocted a unique contest for folks like me to garner support from great folks like you. If you can take 37 seconds or less and click through to sign up for a FREE Vidli.com beta invitation, you’d be doing me the HUGEST favor.

You won’t regret it. Honest. And think of all those adorable little blue footed boobies just waiting for your love and affection! ;)

What Does Holding a Camera Still for 2:48 Gets You?

How about 5,669,208 views (as of this post date)?

Uhm, that’s a lot of people viewing a really funny and entertaining video of a kid bopping around to the sights and sounds of a Beyonce video.

What might have happened if Cory’s dad had helped me out by signing up for a free beta invite from Vidli.com and taken advantage of the Official Video Licensor’s ability to help you monetize your online videos?

Over 5 1/2 MILLION views? Thinking there’s some change to be made there!

Help Get James D Kirk Hired at Vidli.comWell, the answer to that question, in my case, is actually very easy! If you are into online video in any sense, then eventually you are going to hear about Vidli.com and their rather unique approach to making money with online video. They’ve created an interesting approach to monetizing video you own the copyright to. I’ve become enamored with what they’re doing, and am hoping to land a permanent gig with all the groovy folks working and developing there.

So, how can you help? Simple. Sean Murphy, co-founder of Vidli has created an competition that will land the top five referrers an opportunity to interview for the Social Media position they are hoping to fill soon. All you have to do is click to Hire James D Kirk.

Help Hire James D KirkYou will be redirected to the Vidli sign up page where, if you do sign up for a FREE beta invite, they will credit me with a point for the sign up. Top 5 referrers by Dec. 21 will be invited to interview for the full time gig.

If you know me at all, then you’re aware I spend a lot of time online and share a decent amount of attention in the social media world. Having the chance to jump into a full time position in social media marketing would be a logical step in my career.

Your help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance for sharing this with others that might help a fellow out.
