Creative Video Production on a WHIM

On a whim, thinking I was doing something easy, on Sunday afternoon 7 days ago (sept 2), I set up my iphone on a tripod with a clamp to steady it, spouted out 6 tips segments, page opener plus sales page message before a big storm with raindrops came pelting (I was outside in the woods on a deck far above land). The camera was 3 ‘ from me and I was by myself.  Put video clips  into imovie ( Mon,sept 3) added a logo and a tad of music and was “in business”.

With my trusted VA’s help, we created a beautiful (3) training videos page with webinar slot/sales page location at the end of the bar and an imbedded video explaining what it was all about ( sept 5), plus bonus flowchart/transcript material. Shared the complementary training videos as prelude to my webinar ” How to Convert your Property into the Oasis of your Dreams” yesterday (Sat sept 8).

Launched this campaign “5 Tips to Immediately Improve your Property” on thurs,sept 6 at 6 pm ST ( waaay too late) . BUT… had 89 ppl opt- in immediately and got very favorable reviews of the video training. 14 showed up for the webinar on Sat ( less than 2 days after launch).

I guess the webinar would have been enough. Who knows…will leave it “live until Tues at NOON”, then do the live follow-up video. Sadly, I must change sales page and three will be NO MORE opportunity to do the PREWORK as a SPROUT.  Now must head into sharing the event instead!

Up Level your Life Without Breaking the Bank

Its hard to believe that 8 months I’ve been working on my PLACE system and now it is ready to share. So , first a webinar training 5 part series on P.L.A.C.E  which finished yesteday after 9 weeks. Then the beta event in Cashiers, in late August, which tested the material in front of an audience. Now we are launching the Create your Oasis : Landscape Design for Today’s Lifestyle. There is a string of pearly winding around this material and I hope it will reach many and transform their lives…and the health of the earth, ONE GARDEN AT A TIME.    http://landscapeyourlife.com/oasis/

Did I mention that the BOOK is set to arrive soon…stay tuned!

Landscape Your Life (LYL) beta event a great success!

Late August in western NC is a great place to study garden design surrounded by dahlias, late summer wildflowers and knowledgeable experts! Mary Palmer Dargan, asla instructed the beta event goers with her version of the perfect landscape design learning weekend. 2 full days of lectures, both of which had 4 hours of field study to beautiful, mature mountain gardens and receptions at Chattooga Gardens and the Dixons completed the event. Day 3 was an optional design studio where students brought their projects and received first hand instruction.

We’re getting geared up for the Atlanta Create Your Oasis: Landscape Design for Today’s Lifestyle to be held at the Atlanta History Center October 5-6-7, 2012. Please visit our website for more details. 

Landscape Your Life Debuts Poppy!

 

When Hugh and I decided to write the next book, we thought about our lifestyle, vision and mission.

What  fresh, new, creative and different ways we could communicate the transformation we offer? This appealed to us, two seasoned war horses standing and nickering at the gate.

So, we shot this little film with jimbo Marshall.

My mother is not certain she likes it since I wear make-up and a lab coat, but she is supportive. My, oh so sophisticated, European expat brother suggested it was a bit, hmmm, well…hee-haw. HEE-HAW!  What did you expect when you mix a Mary Palmer in a lab coat wearing make-up, with a testimonial from a Poppy…well, just click and see!
