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

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
