So Do You Think You're Too Old?

Okay, so you want to learn Internet marketing, especially since you've retired and have a lot of extra time on your hands. Plus you wouldn't mind earning a little extra money in the process. But you think you're too old for such a big learning curve. After all, Internet marketing is for the young and energetic - or is it?

Meet GrannyBlogger, 85 years old and learning more every day. She's an affiliate for a number of products, including Kevin Riley's. And thanks to his tutoring, she's finished creating her second infoproduct and has it up for sale. She's also my mother and accompanied me to Atlanta last month to the NAMS Internet marketing conference. At her age, she didn't feel up to the long days of workshops, but she made sure to mingle in the evenings. Here's a video of her and Kevin Riley, who came from Japan to be an instructor. Doesn't look too old to me!

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
