Internet Geek Girl

The last Ze Frank Show. The show premiered with the March 17, 2006 episode and ends today, exactly one year later. *sigh*. I?m really sad. I suppose for people like me, who purchase feelings all the time (listen to the song ? lyrics below), I?m used to this. Possession and loss?ebb and flow. Well, I just want to bow my head in honor of Ze Frank today. What a great idea, and so well executed. As a marketer, it?s hard not to just smile, in awe of one person?s creativity, passion and commitment. Oh yeah, and hot shot meetings in Hollywood.

Very impressive. Plus, it?s always good to know when to make an exit. I look forward to seeing what else Ze Frank comes up with and wish him tons of success and happiness! Now, that brings me to another ending. The last episode of the Sopranos starts on April 8^th. I just realized today that April 8th is Easter. Re-birth, juxtaposed with the beginning of the end. I cried when I saw the last Ze Frank video clip, but it’s nothing like I will cry when the Sopranos ends.

It doesn?t really matter that I own all the DVDs and watch the show on HBO on Demand all the time. I?m glad I can do those things. I?m glad I can go back and watch all the Ze Frank shows I missed. But there is nothing like being actively in production ? alive!

Farewell to Ze Frank?s show. As for the Sopranos ? well, you will be hearing more about that. I?m a quintessential Jersey Girl (thanks to the Christian Affiliate Marketers for noticing).

I host a party whenever a new season launches, complete with antipasto, lasagna and great red wine! I suppose there is always something new to get excited about. It?ll be hard to replace Tony Soprano! But I guess, ?Hallelujah, it’s a brand new day!?

BTW – Great news, in case you don?t already know: Ze Frank will be the keynote speaker at this year?s Affiliate Summit in July. I hope you?ll be there in Miami. I know I will!

Questions: How has social media impacted your business, your marketing plan? Have you even thought about it? Have you taken action? Yes, one needs to understand the nuts and bolts of internet marketing, but I believe it really comes down to art! Creativity, and capturing hearts and minds! Getting someone to purchase a feeling. What do you think?

Fade to music?.
This is a sad sad song about leaving
This is the price you pay when you purchase a feeling
It’s where the conversation slowly fades and you start saying
“Hey there, do you have a ride for me?
‘Cause it’s late and I’ve got to go to bed.”
This is a sweet sweet song about beginnings
These are the first few words that you say in the morning
It’s when you start singing, “Hey, I’m only (insert your age here)”
Hallelujah, it’s a brand new day (a-chicka quack quack)
Hallelujah, it’s a brand new day
