Just got off the phone with Alex Jeffreys. Guess what? I taught him a thing or two as you will see in this video of the conversation. Seriously though, really enjoyed doing this but it was hard work. I think all the effort will be worth it in the long run though. Anyway I won’t waffle on anymore as the video says it all and it is the first ever that I star in !!! I can see the offers of Hollywood stardom coming in already, LOL. 

Oh, and for those that haven’t worked it out …. it’s my contribution to the Alex Jeffreys Video competition to be judged by both him and Maria Andros. Let me know what you think ????

Finally got around to doing my super-duper changes to the way my complete Stundent Blogroll is displayed on the screen. So, for those that haven’t quite noticed or worked out what changes I have done they can be split into 4 bits:

1. Main BlogRoll
This consists of two bits and both can be expandable/collapsable by clicking the arrows (or the small square box on some browsers!). The first bit is titled ‘Top Links’ that conists of 4 links at the moment that are automatically expanded to be visible and include links that I directly add.

The second is titled ‘Most Active Blogs’ and is intended to be exactly what it says. You see I thought about what is the real use and benefit of a Blogroll, and it is clearly to go quickly and easily to those blogs with things happening on them. At the moment the count stands at 59 entries and these are initially ‘hidden’ but can, by clicking the arrow to the immediate left of the entry, be expanded to reveal the entries. Now I want to get this count down to no more than 50 so I will be adding/removing entries from the list as time goes by. Initially, in preparing this initial list of 59 I made a crude subjective attempt of deciding who should be on this list based on my own visits to the blogs, the frequency of posting/commenting on the blog and general level of contribution to the overall Alex Jeffreys Community. I know for a fact I will have missed some obvious candidates (whoops, I can think or some already!) but it was my first stab at it and I will be adding/removing to it as time goes by. Remember my target is to have no more than 50 so anybody added will mean someone is removed!! (Plus also I have to loose 9 to start off with!!). Also, remember there is no precise scientific formulae I am using for who is on or off. If you feel you are worthy of inclusion compared to other entries on it and feel I’ve inadvertently missed you off then please let me know. (You don’t have to say who you think you should replace, just let me know you think your blog is sufficient to be added and I’ll decide who is replaced.)

Well morning all. The holiday season is nearly over and my self-imposed exile (well semi-retreat really) is almost over. I’m looking top get back into the full swing of things after my family-time commitments over the festive period. Some things are more important than the $1,000 traffic competition that recently ended. So how did you do in it? My stats seemed to hold up fairly well even without my active participation but it is only now that I am going to seriously start using some of the techniques that others wrote about on their own blogs which was a condition of the competition if you recall. I do notice many sites didn’t reveal at all what they were up to regarding the competition and this is a shame as all contributions to our community only strengthen it. I’m really looking forward to the next Alex Jeffreys module though

Profit Pulling Project Newsletter
Right, next Wednesday 7th January sees the release of the much anticipated Issue 2 of the Profit Pulling Project newsletter. If you didn’t get the Launch Issue here it is here with no opt-in so you can see just exactly what you are missing out on NOW. (Yes you can read it immediately by clicking on this link or pressing right-clicking and save to download it. No messing, no optin, just get it NOW!). (REMEMBER, though if you want to get future issues you need to register in the box at the top left of this page).

Well a New Year is nearly upon us and it is the time of year we start to think of the year ahead and making some New Year’s resolutions. Now for those who are planning on building a highly successful on-line business it is a particularly important time. Planning is crucial. For those presently doing the mentorship course with Alex Jeffreys – remember way back on our first webinar, ‘Forward to Basics’? I hope so, because it is crucial to have those plans in place to ensure we have a firm foundation to build our business on. All the ‘small steps’ we take towards our goals, as written in our plan, take us in the right direction and have a cumulative impact when all added together.

Now notice the word “written” in the above paragraph? You see a plan in your head is just a dream, a thought, an intention. To make it become reality you have to do a bit more and one way of ensuring that is by making yourself accountable. Now I reveal at the end of this post my precise goals for the coming year. Why? Well because announcing them to the world makes them more ‘real’ than just a thought and more importantly it makes me accountable. I do not like to fail and having my goals up for the world to see is one way of instilling the drive and determination to make me succeed. You see I will succeed I told you here. Will you?

How are you going about trying to win the $1,000 prize money in the Traffic Generation competition? Well looking around the sites I see some interesting ideas sprouting up. One of the best ones that caught my eye was another competition that is run by a fellow student to give away a further $200 in prize money. Now the competition is brought you by Joe Trueman and can be found here. It’s a good creative idea and deserves your support and hey you can win another $200 !!

But how can you yourself generate traffic? Well, if your scratching your head searching for some magic button that you press and hey presto it comes in floods well it’s not going to happen. Those who signed up with our mentor Alex Jeffreys did so for a reason, to find out what he does and copy it. The fast-track to success is to follow a proven model and apply it and that is exactly what you should be doing now. So how I’m I applying the knowledge that Alex has imparted to us?
