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

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
