Update and a Case Study for Alex Jeffreys Students

Hope everyone is well and putting into action the steps to build a solid foundation to an online business. I thought this morning I’d put up a general catch up post as we have had so many comments, that it’s easy to loose valuable responses along the way. Just a reminder don’t forget to vote in the poll, the video option just has the most votes at the moment, so if you want your preference to win get your vote in now.

 

BIG NEWS FIRST! Have you seen that the man himself, Alex Jeffreys, has posted a very long and complimentary post on the blog to us all? In fact, he is that impressed with how we have all pulled together on the site and helped one another that he is going to make a case study of us all. Wow, how cool is that??? I think that can only be beneficial to all who have commented, contributed and those that appear in the Blogroll as even more people will visit here and then pop on over to your sites as well. It’s win-win all around, so I urge anyone who has been holding back until now – get involved – everybody gains in the long run and at the same time we can help and support one another.

 

So here follows some key topics that have been covered over just the last 2 days and help for those who want to know how to do something.

Proof a Blog really generates traffic

Right folks, yesterday my blog went crazy – in a nice way :) I had loads of visitors and over 20 comments.  Do you know the other day when I was well pleased with my traffic stats and posted the proof for all to see. Well yesterday I had over 125 visitors. 125 visitors from no blog a week ago – can you believe that?????

Wow! Now I don’t say this to boast or brag. I’m telling you to encourage you to do this same. The more of us that do this, then we will have a thriving community that will only be of benefit to us all.  Thanks to all those that contributed by commenting or emailing or just popping by and having a read. I really appreciate it. I will respond to all the comments/emails but please be patient as I’m trying to manage my time the best I can.

Now for giving something back to you all. I am going to make a video for you but first I’d like to poll you to find the thing that is holding you back and make that the subject of the video.

These are the options available. Voting is anonymous, instantaneous and you will see the results immediately. Let me know what Video you think would be the most beneficial to you right now by voting below:-







 
Please vote. It only takes 1 click and I’ll have the video made for you early next week. Thanks

What Works in Online Marketing?

Hi again,

Only 1 day to go before Alex’s Coaching Course starts. Just can’t wait.

I’m now getting a few visitors to my site and a few of you are even getting involved and leaving comments. I was thinking we must have a mix of different readers with varying experiences here. For those who have had some success in making money online what has worked for you?

It would be interesting to know what others have made some success at, however small. I think we can all progress further if we help one another. That’s my intention on this site. While doing the mentoring with Alex I promise I’ll keep you updated with exactly the steps I am taking so you can all learn from my experiences.

So anyone willing to say what has worked for them in the past? What courses or mentors they have used and do they think it has been worth it? Even the ones that haven’t worked out are still worth knowing about as we can always learn from negatives as well.

Promoting your blog/website through videos

Hope you all had a good weekend. I know I did. I feel really confident that the steps I am taking will ultimately make me a very successful business. I know Alex had massive success in a short space of time so if I put the effort in why shouldn’t I. Alex is no better or different to me (I’m sure he doesn’t have 2 brains!) and I’m really glad I’ve signed up for Alex’s Coaching Course and going to be mentored by him. Today’s the last full day before he stops taking anyone else.

I mentioned yesterday about finding a killer tool (and it’s FREE) that you should add to your business tool’s arsenal if you want to get more traffic to your site. Take a look at this short video I created this morning.

I’m really pleased with myself that I worked how to do it all. I’ve seen the power of videos before but never thought it would be so, so easy to do. I could of hosted it myself but decided to sign up for YouTube as more people will no doubt see it there.

Let me know what you think. If you want me to do a video about how to take a video (if you know what I mean!!) then just drop me a comment.

Until next time.

More Progress

I mentioned in an earlier post about I’m a firm believer if you really want to succeed in any project you have to take some action every single day. Small steps lead to big things. I certainly feel I’m making progress.

First, I’ve had a couple of emails over the weekend from people reading my blog and I’ve now had some comments! To infinity and beyond !! … well everyone has to start somewhere.

Still ploughing through Alex’s material and tomorrow I hope to have up on the blog something that may be of interest to many. It’s something that puts a lot of people off because they thing it’s

  • too difficult,
  • or too expensive,
  • or the killer of everyone – it will take too much time.

I’ve found some free software that can really be a killer tool for getting traffic and yet it puts those 3 excuses above (which is really all they are) to bed!. 

Stay tuned.
