Get Yourself A Website

First of all, I don’t do HTML. I did learn, but I would rather spend time writing my content than trying to remember codes. Many web hosts use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). They also support HTML, if you’d rather use it.

Find an inexpensive hosting service that has all kinds of neat features and is really easy to do. Ask your friends and associates who they use.

Show off your photos, display your eBay or craft items for sale, even send a newsletter in no time.

When you find a hosting service with all of the features you love, just make sure that the server isn’t too slow. Otherwise, all the great features won’t make up for the frustration when it takes hours to update your site. - See I told you I have already made every mistake you can think of. Maybe this blog should be called What Not To Do.

Now have you started planning your website?

Until next time,

Carol

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

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

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
