Tribal Marketing: Surprisingly Ethical Ways to Significantly Reduce Your Unsubscribe Rate And Easily Boost Profits
January 19th, 2010 by Vishen Lakhiani Read more about Creating Trust Online, Email MarketingUpdate: Hey guys, sorry about the audio earlier, but it has now, thankfully, been fixed thanks to our awesome video editor, Julian. You can now check out the video below.
I know what you’re thinking… ethical?? Will that even work?
YES. And I’m about to tell you why Max Simon’s new concept of “Tribal Marketing” will actually work far better than any other short-term, shortcut, flavor-of-the-month marketing strategy that we often see come and go.
But first, a quick intro of who Max Simon is.
A couple weeks ago, Max Simon from GetSelfCentered.com came all the way over to Malaysia to hang out with me, Mike, and the whole MindValley crew.
Let’s just say we had a lot of fun 
And not to mention a lot of shared learnings. The people at my office loved him.
It was a great experience. You see, Max, who’s a great entrepreneur, marketer, and personal growth junkie, taught us this awesome concept that he calls “Tribal Marketing”.
So I thought I’d share this video of Max’s training to MindValley so you can learn EXACTLY what he taught us.
He’s a pretty cool kid, as you’ll see in the video below. It’s 30 minutes long, but Max shares with us his amazing secrets to Tribal Marketing. Be patient, let it load and let me know what you think.

BTW, It’s a YouTube playlist and should run seamlessly. However, if you run into any problems, you can also click next to view videos 2, 3 and 4. Alternatively if the playlist does not work at all for you — check below. I’ve posted individual videos
What to look out for in this video:
- Why mass marketing is dead and how tribes have formed in its place
- Top 5 outdated fears that still control many marketers (and how these mistakes actually hold them back from having a LOYAL and RESPONSIVE following)
- 7 qualities you should (and CAN) attract so you won’t ever again worry about squeezing dimes out of your following cause they’ll be more than happy to throw dollars at you
BTW, Oh, and if you’re not familiar with Max, he’s well known for his Public Displays of Meditation, his Enlightened Entrepreneur Experience seminars, and for his work with the Chopra Center for Wellbeing.

I couldn’t get any sound on the video!!!
No sound.….
I do not have volume on Max Simon’s video. I upgraded to the latest Adobe flash player, downloaded JW player and still no volume. I’m not having an audio problem on any other videos. I’ve checked by listening to 4 videos on other sites.
I’d love to hear this—can you help?
Thanks,
Lois
Is it just me or is there no sound in this video?
Hi Vishen,
Great content as usually from you guys — but I’m having some problems with the audio for this video. It plays, but there’s no sound. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Ian
The volume do not work on the tribal marketing video sir. I was pump to listen and then no volume.
Rick
No Sound on the video? I have tried on both PC and Macs but cannot hear the audio
For some reason, audio is not working.…?
(PC w/Vista and FireFox.)
Is it working for others?
No sound on the video!?
no sound on the video…
Well guys — there is STILL no sound on that video. I can hear the sound on other videos on your site so the problem is not on my end. It seems.
Let me know when it is fixed.
Hi, There’s no sound coming from the video can you fix it ? I would really like to hear what Max Simon had to say. I never heard or knew who Max Simon.
Does anyone has this problem also ?
Thanks , Shel
Hmmm. I’m not hearing anything while this video is playing. I’ve used a couple of different video players that are having no problems reproducing sounds from other videos, so I conclude there’s something wrong with this one. Too bad; there was a lot of hype and promise about this concept I was looking forward to learning about.
Hi
The sound is not working in the video.
Is it me… or is there no sound with this video?
For some reason the sound does not work on your video! I’ve tried it in multiple browsers and I get the same result. Please let me know when you’ve resolved the issue. Thanks. ~Paul
Hey Vishen Lakhiani. I can’t hear the sound in the video. Is it my problem or the videos?
There’s no audio with “Tribal Marketing by Max Simon”! I opened this link in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and IE — nothing! Nada! Bupkis!
Now the sound works but it is only 9 mins … before (and still as noted in the blog text) it was supposed to be 30 mins. Looks like the other parts are split up onto YouTube so you’ve lost me now — can’t be bothered …
The videos worked wonderfully.
Yes, we will more and more specialize in internet marketing. We are looking for niches and in niches we are looking for tribes — like-minded people. I would not have found the word trive, but it is exactly what it is and I like it.
