Rocket Profit – Shoemoney Behind The Scenes

by Jeremy Schoemaker on May 22, 2008 · 48 comments

I have wanted to do special behind the scenes videos at affiliate companies and other online advertising companies. I bounced the idea off of Rocket Profit and they were all in!. So they flew us to New York city to their headquarters, picked us up from the airport in their company limo, and put us up in some nice suites at the W in times square.

This is our first attempt at this and going forward we will be bringing along a professional video person (no offense tigh). The lighting was weird and they were doing street repairs so it was pretty loud…

Anyway if your company would like to fly us in and have us do a “Behind the Scenes” meeting your staff and asking what makes your company tick then please use the contact for or email tigh at shoemoney.com for more information.

What a great idea. I have been looking at different affiliate companies and these videos provide some great insight into the companies behind the websites.

Good idea, I enjoyed it.
Just the music running all the time in the background is a bit annoying.

I love the idea! Gives me a new outlook on this company! Way to go shoe, and way to go Rocket!

I think the video looks fine. Graphic inlays look cool too. If anything I’d invest in mics so there is always clear audio, since most of us are interested in what you have to say.

Really enjoyed the video but you have to cut the background music. Thanks

Great idea and I am sure it will only get better from here. When you have too many companies begging to fly you around, just call me.

Thats an awesome idea.
I am also doing the same thing, if anybody want to get such “behind the scenes” video done, pick me up, give me a suite, take me in Limo and I will get all set :mrgreen:

I am not sure that a small business could afford to have Shoe come out. Rocket is not a small business in my eyes. But you are right it is a great concept.

great idea but that vid was pretty brutal to watch

lol.. earning from parked domains I don’t think it’s shoe’s priority

That is a really really good idea. Even though the video wasn’t the best quality, I liked it :) for sure! :)

This is a great video series you’ll be doing. I can’t wait to see where you go next.

Haha all the companies would be a bankrupt soon if everyone starts this trend :)

It might be some one who is trying to make some bucks from this plug from Shoe :)

Amazing insight. I think it would be interesting to see you talk to an average aff manager as well though…

32 MoneyBites May 22, 2008 at 9:27 pm

It is a great idea and one that a few others like Tyler Cruz have done before.. It will be interesting to see who else takes him up on it..

Great! One of your best videos.
Looking forward to seeing more affiliates behind the scenes.

34 Terry Tay May 22, 2008 at 11:24 pm

Yeah, I agree the background music needs to go it’s somewhat distracting and definitely annoying ;-)
But overall a good concept for a video series and I’ll look forward to your next installment…without the background music of course ;-)

Video is coming into its own online. Really cool to see this all maturing.

These guys said “deals” about 200 times during the interview. Would make me *VERY* wary to work with them as an advertiser.

Very cool idea Jeremey. Well executed too!

Brilliant Idea. We are looking forward to seeing more of these as it shows us what other people are actually doing, awesome insight.

This kind of video gives you insights no written text could give you. Thanks a lot!

Hey that’s a clever idea…plus, now you get to travel around the country for free just to video tape meetings that the public is not normally invited into!

Nice Video, The music is not best of the world but, Like the scenes !

43 Syed Sameer May 24, 2008 at 10:23 pm

Shoemoney, you have your arms crossed all the time in the video, and this is a big no-no especially when you’re listening to someone. It conveys that you find them boring or that you are reserved / unapproachable.

Just my 2 cents. ;)

Reply

44 Web Marketeer May 25, 2008 at 2:16 am

Excellent concept indeed! Only crit is the production quality, which will no doubt be sorted come the next interview. As far as the body language issue is concerned, Syed has a point, but that is easy to adress once one is aware of it. Keep up the good work!

45 Geiger May 27, 2008 at 9:34 pm

I made it to 7 minutes and 15 seconds before I had to stop it because that background music made desk rage! (just like road rage but at a desk)

46 Bob May 28, 2008 at 9:59 pm

Thanks for that Video ,, hope to see more soon!
