So you want to be a Rock Star?

So you want to be a Rock Star?

 Greetings Bonanzlers!If Susan can do it so can you!

By now most of you have heard of Susan Boyle and her overnight success with her YouTube video highlighting her amazing performance on "Britain has Talent."  As of this writing her video has had over 62,000,000 views!  Well here is your opportunity at fame. 

We have a video section at Bonanzle that currently has one video of Bill back in the early days of Bonanzle listing two items for sale in two minutes or less.  Now you would think that for a site as fresh as Bonanzle that we would have tons of videos to assist buyers and sellers with the process.  This is where we need the help of our community.

We are seeking video submissions for various help topics at Bonanzle.  If your video is approved, we will upload it to our video section and you will be an instant rock star!  What type of videos are we looking for?  Well here is an example of some of the topics that might be of interest:

What are the steps to set up Google Base on Bonanzle?
How can I improve my sales on Bonanzle (Twitter, Facebook, Item traits, SEO, etc)?
How do I put my booth on Vacation on Bonanzle?
How do I checkout on Bonanzle?
How do I post an image in the forums on Bonanzle?
How do I use Google Analytics on Bonanzle?
How do I use Custom Seller Sort on Bonanzle?
How do I set up a “Saved Item Search” on Bonanzle?
How do I save an item to my wish list on Bonanzle?
How do I create a new forum thread on Bonanzle?
How do I have a private conversation in the live booth chat on Bonanzle?
How can I accept other forms of payment on Bonanzle?
How do I leave feedback on Bonanzle?
How do I make an offer on Bonanzle?
How do I make a Hand Picked List on Bonanzle?
How can I use the Image Cropper/editor on Bonanzle?
How can I add additional images to my item description on Bonanzle?
How do I set up shipping on Bonanzle?
How do I use the full size editor on Bonanzle?
How do I report a prohibited item on Bonanzle?
How do I favorite/unfavorite a booth on Bonanzle?
How do I leave an endorsement for a booth on Bonanzle?

The list goes on and on but the above titles should give you a good start.  When you are planning your video, try to put yourself in a newbie’s position and add content that you think would be most helpful.  All videos should have the name “Bonanzle” in the title.  It is probably best to keep the videos to a maximum of 3-5 minutes but we understand that some topics (optimization, etc.) can stretch much longer and others will be much shorter.  Please submit your video’s and any questions you may have to [email protected] (Subject line: “I want to help”).

We will provide a one-month premier membership to all videos that are approved for our help pages.  This membership is transferrable to another account if you like. As always, thank you for your help and continued support to improve our community.

Yes, Pieper, I’m on it! Sent Judy (bluepennylady) a message regarding this. Pam (TieTieAgain/MemoryCollector) did a presentation on ‘Pictures’. I’ll see if Judy can get that video for you, Mark.

Judy/ BluePenny – Parts 1-5 on title and description writing.

we need a basic simple video on how to use the HTML editor. Like how to get the buttons to work LOL

Oops, sorry Mark – so it was posted by you…great idea, Mark – LOL!

BargainBasement says: 05/30/09 at 04:49:39

Good idea! Wondering out loud….to be more grammatically correct, would it not be better to have the word on Bonanzle rather than the word at Bonanzle?

SunflowerAntics says: 05/30/09 at 06:08:35

Great idea Mark! Just wish I knew how to create one of those video tutorials! NICE thank you gift too!

Have a GREAT Bonanzle’n Day!
