On this coming Monday's Oprah [Monday 22] she'll be talking about a new book and DVD called "Crazy Sexy Cancer". Here's some great news for Gaiam's affiliates; Gaiam has the exclusive rights to the DVD! The DVD is now available through the Gaiam website [on pre-order; the release date will be December]. Check out the product detail page for Crazy Sexy Cancer here.
Here's a brief summary [taken from the CrazySexyCancer.com website] on what the documentary is about...
"Crazy Sexy Cancer is an irreverent and uplifting documentary about a young woman looking for a cure and finding her life. In 2003, 31-year-old actress/photographer Kris Carr was diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer. Weeks later she began filming her story. Taking a seemingly tragic situation and turning it into a creative expression, Kris shares her inspirational story of survival with courage, strength, and lots of humor.
With experimental treatment as her only option, Kris became determined to find answers where there were none. She traveled throughout the country interviewing experts in alternative medicine as she tenaciously dove head first into a fascinating and often hilarious holistic world. Along the way, she met other vivacious young women determined to become survivors. Their stories are as poignant and exciting as the women who tell them. As Kris's amazing journey unfolds, she realizes that healing is about truly living rather than fighting.
Crazy Sexy Cancer is more than a film, it's an attitude! It's about rising to the challenge of life, and no matter what, refusing to give up who you are at your core. This story is as funny as it is frightening, as joyous as it is outrageous. Ultimately, Crazy Sexy Cancer is a thought provoking film about, friendship, love and growing up."
If you login to your Gaiam Linkshare account you'll find a selection of text links for Crazy Sexy Cancer. [Banners will be available by the end of business Monday].
If you have any questions, or need anything from the Gaiam AM team to promote "Crazy Sexy Cancer" please get in touch with us at: Gaiam.Affiliates@amwso.com. This really is a product that will make a difference to people's lives.

The Secret (The compelling and life-changing film featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show!)
If you're not using video on your website yet you're missing out on a huge opportunity to increase your customer's responsiveness to targeted offers.
With the ever growing population of broadband users in the United States video has become mainstream. If you look for the most popular sites on the Internet you'll see that YouTube.com is now the 8th most popular website in the world. It is estimated that 65% of Internet users in the United States have broadband access, and that number is expected to grow to at least 80% by 2010.
Gaiam is using a service called Web Video Zone that has been created by Joe Chapuis to host their video clips. His software converts raw video files and plays them inside a video player. Not only that. You can embed your Linkshare affiliate links into the video files too!
Please check out an example of this tool in action here (promoting 'The Secret').
You'll notice that:
1. The Gaiam logo on the top left hand corner of the video player is a clickable affiliate link. (You'll have to check your cookie cache to see the LinkShare cookie dropped via WebVideoZone's software).
2. The text between the "Add To Site" and "Share" buttons that says "Buy The Secret DVD Now!" is a clickable affiliate link.
3. When the video is done there is a message to; "Click on the video screen to buy "The Secret". This leads to the Gaiam landing page for 'The Secret' through an affiliate link.
4. Anyone can add the video to their site via the "Add To Site" button : which of course includes an affiliate link.
5. You can email a friend a link to the video via the "Share" button : which of course includes an affiliate link.
The videos created through the WebVideoZone system are thoroughly customizable and 100% viral! Plus, and this is where it gets really good, it's really easy to add the videos to your site with your Linkshare Affiliate ID embedded into them. Literally anyone can do it. (Gaiam does the hard work from our end). To add the video file you saw on the landing page above, all you have to do is go to this page. You then add you Linkshare ID, and cut a paste the resulting HTML code into your website. EASY. All videos that you add to you website(s) -- hosted by WebVideoZone -- and that you distribute, will have your affiliate ID embedded into them.
Are you ready to start implementing videos into your site? If you are, follow the instructions below
1. Visit this page.
2. Click the links to watch the videos.
3. Select the video(s) that will appeal to your target group. Make up a landing page that you feel makes the best connection with your audience.
4. Write an audience-relevant article and add the video for maximum pre-selling impact.
5. Alternatively, if you already have a page that you feel one or more of the videos will fit perfectly on, then you're ready to go!
6. To embed a video to your webpage simply follow these instructions:
Enter your unique Linkshare Affiliate ID code in the box on the page. Do not enter a link. You need to provide your unique Linkshare Affiliate ID code that is contained within your affiliate links.
After entering your code, press the "Get Code" button, and paste the resulting HTML code in to your webpage.
That's it!
Here's a suggestion :
Browse existing articles and look for places within the content where a video would be work well.
