Internet Marketing Update

Although it seems as though I may have dropped out of site judging from the lack of posts, I am still here. Still working away trying to learn Internet marketing. Starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel if I can just keep my focus.

I've been busy updating my blogs, making them keyword optimized, trying my hand at selling some affiliate products, ghostwriting, and generally spending all of my waking hours, except when I babysit my grandson, on the computer.

Starting to make a bit of adsense income - $20 so far. Lest you say hooray too quickly, they don't send me a cheque until I make at least $100. So it may be awhile.

Ghostwriting is probably the most lucrative so far, but with the research and my picky nature, it takes a lot of time. Just about perfect when I'm done, I must say, but not a great use of my time.

Just became a member of the Twitter league, takes a lot of time, but kind of fun. I'm not really used to social marketing yet.

And I am going to the World Internet Summit in Toronto next month. Four days of being with like-minded people will be good for my motivation. Not only that, I am taking my 84 year old mother as a birthday present to her. She is learning Internet marketing herself and is quite excited about it.

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

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

Jet Lag and NAMS 4

Okay, it wasn't a jet, but I did take a 747 to NAMS. And yes, I've been back for a week now. But it takes me a while to recover so you won't get all the juicy details for a bit longer yet. All I can say is I took loads of notes, hung out with some amazing people, and wish they didn't live so far away. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the sessions with Bob 'The Teacher' Jenkins, Karon Thackston, and Kathleen Gage. Of course all of the presenters were great, but those three I got the most from. And I had a 15 minute consultation with Mark Hendricks as well. The last NAMS I didn't think I had anything to discuss with him, but this time I forced myself to sign up. I was super nervous, but he was very easy to talk to, and he actually liked my idea for a membership site. I'll talk more about that another time. Once I get my notes organized, I'll give you my top ten takeaway points. Now the challenge is to do them, not stay in learning mode. So
