Ning and Social Networking

I'm in social networking mode these days. Although I can't say Facebook makes any sense to me really (although all my kids love it), I've been squidooing my little heart out and I've even made a dollar sharing their ads! So far on squidoo.com, I've got a lens on life-long learning, one on Toronto, and one I just started on the Canadian National Exhibition.

My newest find is ning.com where you can create your own social network. Establish yourself as an expert, have fun, and collect friends along the way - so far I have only one (oh, well).

Ning is easy to set-up and you can make it public or private. It's free and like I said it's fun. Add videos, photos, text, it's just like having your own Facebook. Hmm - guess that means I understand Facebook more than I realized. The hardest thing I find is keeping it active. As administrator, you aren't notified when someone comments like you are with a blog. You need to keep going into your forum and answering comments, interacting, and starting discussions. It's a little more time intensive than it seems at first. Oh, well.

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Kevin Riley Course - Step By Step

I've decided to work my way through one of Kevin Riley's courses here for the sake of myself and everyone else. This particular course is called "How To Make a Bundle of Cash in Just 3 Days". I received it last year, so can't guarantee that he is still offering it. Still, if we do the steps together, we should make some progress. Your idea of bundle and mine may be different. My main goal is to learn the process. Kevin suggests finding affiliate products that offer 100% commission. He has a number of them that are used as lead generators. Do a Google search and you will probably find a number of possibilities. I like to purchase the products first to make sure I'm recommending something I won't be ashamed to be associated with. You want to select products that have a good sales page, including an attention grabbing headline, interesting content, cover image, bullets used, testimonials, a call to action that asks for the sale, and a guarantee. First ste

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol
