'Kismet My Version' is a videoke contest

I want to look back to wonderful memories such as this and say ."I've done something outrageous."  And 22 Tango Records thought of this.  Well it's Cattski's... her mind at work.  She seems to never run out of things to think about.  I think this videoke event is a really good idea


Have fun making your own videos.


Here's the mechanics (drafted by Cattski and reposted from Squidoo):

1) If you're...

A girl...


A boy...


If you're both (uhm that didn't sound right...hahaha!) or if you want to sing with a partner, sing the duet version.


2) Use your web cam, phone cam or any type of video device and FILM YOURSELF (or ask someone to do it for you) while you sing Kismet with the VIDEOKE/MINUS ONE YouTube vids below. Make sure you have a working pair of computer speakers so the accompaniment will be picked up by your PC's microphone! (This has been done before by a lot of people, I'm sure you can figure this out). Be creative. Come up with your own style, apply gimmicks etc, you're free to do whatever you want, but please we beg you, don't go naked!

3) Upload your own Kismet video on YouTube, Facebook and send a link or PM Cattski on Facebook via www.facebook.com/cattski.espina, www.facebook.com/CATTSKI, or you can email the YouTube link to cattskiespina@yahoo.com. You may also tweet her.

4) Deadline of submission is December 11. The winner gets an entire Kismet Merchandise (CD, shirt and journal) and will sing his, her or their version of Kismet together with the band (Zafra or Cattski) on December 12 for the KISMET MY VERSION LIVE at the Outpost.

Cheers!

About Squidoo And What It Can Do For You

A month ago, while surfing for more opportunities online, I accidentally stumbled upon Squidoo. This is one of Seth Godin's brilliant innovations in and for the internet. How I got there is another story - I really can't remember and I think it's not that important for now.

In most undertakings, the hardest part is how to start and my response to situations like these is to go through the FAQ pages and read everything there is to know and understand about its service. It took me weeks to painfully untangle the cobwebs but I finally built my pages last week and over the weekend.

Squidoo is a user-based online service that allows you to earn (yes earn) while talking about things you are passionate about. Speaking of earning, the user generates income mainly from Google Adsense plus other earning options such as sponsored modules by Amazon.com, CafePress.com, and what have you.

The good part about Squidoo is that unlike Google Adsense where the minimum quota for payment is $100, this Godin masterpiece allows you to reset your payment release amount to as low as $1. This means that by the time your income hits $1, you get paid (via PayPal by the way - Google Adsense still insists on cheques).

Ok so now you ask what is there to talk about? Heck anything. It can be anything under the sun. No really. I scoured the Squidoo pages and I find lots of topics that you cannot imagine you can find there.

My first lenses (the Squidoo moniker for a webpage is lens) are Cebu Guitar Festival and a page about Arnold Ang, its founder. Of course I'll be making more but I have to take it slow... I just realized that working in Squidoo can be really addictive.

You should start posting your Squidoo lenses too. It's fun guaranteed.
