When You Feel Like Giving Up

There have been some rough spots to my Internet marketing plan this month, mainly because I was attacked by the "you'll never do it, so why not give up" bug.

I caught it when I went to a four hour seminar given by a well-known local Internet marketer. I was thinking of signing up for his 'Train the Trainer' course and when I mentioned the possibility, he replied with an astonished "you want to be a trainer?"

Right away, the negative virus started eating away at my self-esteem. Never mind that I already do trainings. Never mind that the feedback after my workshops is always very positive. I suddenly felt that I was too old and too underqualified to continue. All because of one negative germ.

So what helped turn me around? I found this video on youtube. If you feel like giving up, have a listen - especially to what she had to say about her teacher. And let me know what you think.

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
