I'm Famous (Almost)

As part of the traffic generation course I've been taking, I had to research information about the top ten Google sites for my chosen keywords. While checking one of them, I came across an Amazon ad for a physical book. Part of the blurb about this book sounded like it could have been written by me, so I investigated further.

Amazon allowed viewing of various parts of the text, which was quite interesting and well written. Called "Creative Computer Crafts", it features a number of projects and guess what else I found? My website, was listed as a recommended resource. The book was written a few years ago and is on the shelves of over 100 public libraries (mainly in the states).

So here I've been famous for all this time and didn't know it. You can bet that everyone I talk to hears about it now though. I'm not about to let my rise to fame go unnoticed. And the book is going out of print, so I have to brag while I can.

Okay, lest I burst with pride, tell me your success stories and remind me I'm not the only one with something to crow about.

    Hi there, Mrs C. Great to come across your blog. Pleased I'm not the only older generation who's been bitten by the internet bug.
    I'm currently constructing my first website, and will let you know when it's done. Do you have one of your own? Would love to have a look.
    Regards

    Hi there Steve. Nice to meet you. I would love to see your site when it's done. I have a number of Wordpress blogs (as well as this Blogger one) that are listed on the right under "what I'm working on". My Creative Home Computing site has probably been running the longest and I'm getting more traffic now. I even make enough adsense money to buy the odd hamburger now and then.

    Keep in touch.

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
