How has he established the Tiger Brand?

Over the years Tiger Woods has built a golfing empire. His success playing golf has allowed him to receive hefty royalties from endorsements such as books and apparel. Tiger has positioned himself in such a way that these royalties function as “derivatives” to pay him and his family over and over again. In essence the Tiger Woods brand/image is iconic to golfers around the world, because no one can deny that he’s one of the best at his business. THAT WAS UNTIL THE 2010 SCANDAL!

What has actually changed?

Unfortunately for the Tiger Woods brand/image (and ultimately his family), his personal set backs may negatively impact on his business in 2010. Unless he can remain focused and somehow restore his image in the public eye, the Tiger Woods brand/image and business will ultimately suffer.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

But it doesn’t have to be that way for his business. Nor does it have to be that way for internet marketing or online business. In fact, because of social media sites like FaceBook, YouTube and Twitter, the online marketing business is thriving in 2010 and well beyond. And yes they are free advertising platforms for all types of opportunities. But only if they are used correctly.

What’s the correlation?

So exactly what does Tiger Woods and internet marketing have to do with a home based business opportunity? In a one word answer, they both incorporate “branding.” The Tiger Woods association with golf is synonymous, because he has branded his image to represent one of golfs elite players. Those that are successful online marketers have learned this and have built their home based business empires by replicating the process.

The brilliance behind the Tiger Woods model is that he figured out this one simple strategy. Once the dust settles, he’ll continue building the Tiger Woods name in association with golfs elite again. This will once again provide him with derivatives that will pay him and his family over a lifetime.

As we already know, YouTube is one of the best social media sites on the planet for video marketing. Since Google owns YouTube, it’s only natural that YouTube videos get preference on Google’s search engine results. So you have to be using YouTube as one of your platforms in social media to promote your internet business… right? Sure you are, but be careful how you use it. The reason is that YouTube is canceling accounts for users that are aggressively using their services. If you’re going to use YouTube as a video marketing platform, then you’re going to have to play by their rules.

Those that have success with internet marketing have done so with YouTube. But what do you have to do to get YouTube to cancel your account? Here are some of the most common answers. If you have more that one account (with the same internet provider address) then that’s a red flag. Anyone that is using electronic software to automatically add friends, post comments or ratings are subject to getting their account canceled. Those that upload duplicate videos of the same content also stand the chance of getting their account suspended or terminated.

If you have violated YouTube’s community guide lines ( http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines ) and your account has been canceled, then you can e-mail their support desk and request that they reinstate your channel(s). Mostly likely they’ll tell you NO, and you’ll have to start over. Yeah I know, that stinks! I have heard of one person that has had their account reinstated, but I don’t know of anyone personally.

If YouTube canceled your account, and you cannot get it reinstated, what do you do next? How are you going to continue video marketing? What about all of those videos and the time spent creating them? The short answer is to start over.

First-
Create a new account, but this time use a NEW email address.

Second-
If you have those old videos stored on a hard drive or disk somewhere, then you’ll be back up to speed quicker. Only use those videos if you make slight changes to them, because if you post the exact same videos then you may get flagged again.

Third-
You might want to consider using other social media sites that I personally use like www.DailyMotion.com or www.Viddler.com and www.MetaCafe.com (just to name a few) along with your new YouTube account.

Finally-
You’ll want to call your internet service provider and request a new “IP” address.

The moral of the story is that YouTube provides a great platform to brand yourself. And this is what you should be doing for your business in the first place. No more spamming, that’s what MySpace has turned into.
