A fellow marketing professional and blogger e-mailed me recently about some serious shenanigans that youtube is up to regarding censorship of users accounts with no explanation of what caused the precise reason for the consorship in the first place.
My friend’s name is Devon Brown and he’s known as the Success Renegade. Devon recently had his youtube account placed on “probation” which means he can not upload any videos to it and it basically has to sit there without being usable until someone at youtube says it’s o.k. for him to continue to upload useful videos.
Devon has a dedicated fan base and following, I like his work and have met him in person so I can say with confidence that he is a stand up guy and a true “Marketing Professional”.
I encourage you to go to Devon’s Blog and read about this dilema that is flat out Wrong! <—Click Here
This situation is not the only person that this has happened to and Devon give some examples of other sites and people that this has effected as well, he also goes in depth about the specific problem.
The bottom line is youtube who is owned by google is not a client friendly organization when it comes to providing customer service. Devon is asking for some help in spreading the word about this bogus corporate policy and I support him 100%.
Go check out his blog and leave a comment if you have ever had a bad customer service experience with a major online service provider?

I wouldn’t be known as “The Marketing Professional” if I was in no way influential. However influence, persuasion, leadership and just plain old power used in the wrong way can be a bad thing. Because I value my fans, clients, friends and family I am very careful about how I use my influence and who is in my shpere of influence.
When my friend and blogging extrordinaire Jeremy Schoemaker e-mailed me about Fast Company’s new Influence Project I had to take a look and learn more about it.
Here is just a small excerpt of what they say the influence project is all about:
“What the Influence Project aims to do is remove some of the mystery behind the inherent passivity of social network numbers. This experiment will show what happens when an individual takes an audience at rest and applies an unbalanced force–through suggestion, advice or direction–that converts it into an army of action.”
Here is where I need your help. As I write this post I am poised to crack the top ten percent of the most influential personalities online, I am at 89% which is 2,718 out of more than 26,500 people in the project – that’s as much as a small town!
Please click HERE
Your click on the link above will allow me to move up and attain “Top 10″ status in the Influence Project sphere of influence. To me it’s a big deal and your seemingly effortless click means more to me than you know.
I also want to recomend reading Jeremy’s blog and the Fast Company blog as well. Heck, if you get the chance grab a copy of Fast Company’s magazine which is on news stands nation wide – it’s a good read!
I will blog more about The Marketing Professional’s quest for Influence soon so check back and leave me a comment about your thoughts on Influence, ShoeMoney, Fast Company or me 
Here’s to Your Influence,
The Marketing Professional
