Evaluating my plans

2006-10-12T18:08:00.000Z

And long term goals has left me with some choices to make.As part of these goals and plans I need to think about allthe blogs I have and how I will utilise my time in doing themto maximise productivity.Its not about maximising money, but productivity.For this reason I have spend spending less time writingabout what I am doing in the marketing side of things here.I am glad to have been spending

Are you streching your base?Networking and building your bottom base is key to getting somewhere online.. after all the broader your reach the better.I have been busy getting things up, reaching others..Where.. here... and also... here...Have you set yours up yet?Also I have set up a great lens for those who use the IM forums.. check it out here..

I have to admit it.. it was FAR better than I expected!

2006-09-21T17:29:00.000Z

Unless you have had your hand in the sand, or been away from yourpc over a week, you will have no doubt heard all about the very viralcontroversal "death of adsense" book that spread like wildfire overthe last 8 days!Well it certainly caused a rumpus in the IM niche.. from all angles!There was speculation on what the second book would be like andwhat was going to be "pitched" at us... something

A powerful way to boost your response..and sales!

Need to boost your sales?There are many ways to go about improving both, testingand tracking things will show you alot about what you do rightand what doesn't work.Often it is the little changes that will make the biggest differencesan example maybe your headlines, one of the most importantparts of your whole website.It is important to test to see what "grabs"

Dr Mani....

2006-09-11T22:10:00.000Z

An update on the funds raised so far this year....Over $26,000 for those deserving kids.An amazing achievement.I only have ONE problem with it all..I just hope I don't get flamed for this!!!Considering how many multi millionaires thereare in the IM niche I am suprised at the fact thegoal has yet to be reached.Don't get me wrong I am not going to "bash" anyonehere but I will say...Why has that

24 hours of blogging...

2006-09-10T00:40:00.000Z

All for a very very good cause too.I would hazard a guess many of you have heard ofDr Mani, the Heart surgeon who is also an internetmarketer.. as well as being a top bloke!Dr Mani is going through a 24 period of non-stopblogging in order to raise awareness and funds toenable children to have much needed surgery.These children would not have this chance wereit not for Dr Mani and.........YOU..

"Lynns offer"

2006-09-07T23:39:00.000Z

Well it amazes me the offers some people pass up.Lynn Terry, a marketer who's blogs you should be reading..offers a link back to your site, from a pr4 page too.That is a "page rank" of 4, for those who wonder, and its a fairlygood link to get in my book.So, as this blog did have a pr4 itself but has dipped due tothe lack on my part from not being online till recently it isan offer to make the

Back and raring to go...

2006-08-08T14:33:00.000Z

I am back online, and will not be losing my connection again...as you know I was in a bad situation with housing, and now I amin a permanent place, back on Portland, right behind the beach... nice.I have learnt some great lesson with all the troubles, and the time spent offline.I hope to get back into the groove as quickly as possible..Great to be back.Take care,Rob

"That time of the year again"

2006-04-12T13:49:00.000Z

Beautiful days here again and that time of year when people enjoy the outdoors more.That means for some its less time online and more time offline.However by spending more productive time online it may give you a great advantage come winter...Are you using the seasons in your plans?Do you make the most of the seasons in your marketing efforts?We all know off seasonal marketing.

"The Apprentice"

2006-03-28T12:20:00.000Z

I bet a fair few of you have been watching this program.. in the US and here in the UK.Interesting to hear Alan Sugar complaining how he felt that the "your fired" catchphrase was an American phrase and that he felt it was a blatant copy of Trump and that he doesn't like to use it, he would rather use the Brit term, "your sacked"...Eh?Is the UK version who a whole copy of the US version? I mean

"Blogging tips"

2006-03-23T10:36:00.000Z

I have recently had an email asking me how long I have blogged, how to make a blog work, what to blog about, how often to post and felt it best to answer on here so others can read my own thoughts on the matter as well as send the email to person in question.Interesting questions no doubt many people will ask at some point, I am not an expert but having said that I have blogged for quite some

SPAM blogs using the comment function!Listen up... if you like this blog, by all means comment, share what you learn etc, but dont SPAM the blog, ok it bothers me when I spend an hour having to remove them, but it will do YOUR business more harm than good.WHY?Well how do you think it looks when you post lots of the same spammy comments on peoples blogs? Do you presume people will think .. "well

"Getting back into the loop... slowly"

2006-02-24T11:08:00.000Z

As many of you will know I have been offline for a while now due to being in temporary accomodation.I have a place now but am not yet online at home.. I will get that sorted out next so I can get back into the loop, and continue with my online work attempts.It is shocking what you miss once you fall out of the loop, its shocking what I have forgotten, also how fast things move online.As some of

"Change"

2005-04-26T15:39:00.000Z

I have been thinking alot about everything I am doing online, and I have to say I have real proof that the "marketing niche" is not the best to start into.. I started a new blog, as mentioned in previous post.. and thats two weeks old, and has had more unique hits than this one.. which is...over a year old!!So.. what to do about it? Well I have been thinking of turning all the lessons from here

I set up a yahoo page, and posted a picture of me on there.So if you want to see what I look like.. (why?) lol...Here ya go... Click here. :-)Take care,Rob.

"Yahoo ads"

2005-04-15T16:59:00.000Z

Interesting to note yahoo will be doing ads much like google do at the moment.I hadn't kept up to date with all this as I have had so much to get on with, but with the fact that yahoo may use ads without the little "ads by yahoo" as google do, it could be an interesting alternative to google.While google state in the TOS that they are not happy to have their ads on pages with competing ads, such

2005-04-13T11:59:00.000Z

"There is no where quite like it"I hope to share some nuggets we have here on Portland.Most of you will have at least heard of Portland, or Portland bill.Famous more for the stone than anything else.But hey, I realised that most people, even when they come here miss most of the REAL gems here. So hows that to help my marketing?What am I doing?Most of my domains centre around Portland, so I feel

"Blog+traffic"

2005-04-12T20:11:00.000Z

A harsh but timely lesson for me, and one I feel will also be of interest to you.Blogs as you know I think are great, they can be started free, by anyone, and used for almost any topic.They have a great advantage over static sites, and that is they are updated far more often, so get spidered by the search engines far better and faster.They also give you a great start on the writing curve, lets

" Traffic secrets"

2005-04-06T12:30:00.000Z

The traffic secrets by John Reese is on the go again.Traffic secrets is not a cheap product to buy in monetary terms, but I would bet my last pound, (which aint that far off ) :-) it is worth 100 times the price when put into practice.I'll regret not having the means to buy Traffic secrets, but I do have alot of John's free newsletters, and they are awesome, so I do have lessons from him to

"You obviously liked the listbuilder"

2005-04-05T10:24:00.000Z

I am amazed at the conversion rate of this viral list, it took just over 30 views to get the first 5 sign ups!Thats a great conversion, and I hope those of you that DID get it, will like it as much as I do, and that it helps your frofit margin to grow.The idea itself is a great example of good viral marketing.If you haven't got it yet, best to be quick. :-)Take care,Rob

"A great idea?"

2005-04-04T20:52:00.000Z

Take a look at this post on my other blog... this one here and think about how YOU could use that, I am sure that some ideas will spark up in your mind.It IS the simple things that succeed, and these are simple, but very effective.I think it will provide me with a massive boost to my list. ;-)Take care and enjoy.Rob

Visulisation is a powerful thing.Interesting story about Jenson Button the F1 racer, who before each race, sits on a yoga ball with his eyes closed, he "goes through the race" in his mind, actually mimicing the revs, gear changes, the whole cabaoodle..every metre of the track."Often I will visualise the race within two of three seconds of the actual time it takes" he said.And the paper says he is

"King on writing"

2005-03-23T17:54:00.000Z

What a great "little" book by Stephen King, and a refreshing chance to read his writing thats NOT in the "horror genre".It makes sense to read this sort of book as it IS people like him that get read and he KNOWS writing.I know some don't like his work, but you have to give credit where due, and he DOES his job better than most.The fact is if you can't learn from someone like this, you "aint

"Get out of my inbox"

2005-03-21T20:33:00.000Z

These last few weeks I have started to unsubscribe from a few ezine /newsletters.Why? Well it's not because of who writes them thats for sure, a few of them have been big names, but lately I have got fed up with those that seem to email you two or three times in a day..Is there any need for this?I don't think so.... Treat people how you like to be treated, so I would never send you two or three

"Blogging is taking off"

2005-03-09T20:17:00.000Z

As you know I have been blogging for a while now, and they are great, its hard to believe how much gets written when you get going.At first it seems a bit daunting looking a blank screen, but once you think ok.. I'll write whatever comes to mind.. it does start to get flowing.I have said before its a great way to start.Blogging is "the lazy man's website".. not to imply I am lazy, though I maybe

I don't know if many of you watched Donald Trump's program "The Apprentice", as far as I am aware there is a second one showing in the US.I watched the first one here in the UK and it was a very interesting program, with some good tips and ideas that provided some good insights.Well here in the UK there is a british version being shown at the moment, its the same format, well......its identical

"The Horse and Cart"

2005-02-23T17:04:00.000Z

Once it was horse and carts that roamed the streets, rag and bone men, who sold their wares to all the families in the streets, buying and selling alsorts from and to the families.Steptoe and son springs to mind.. ;-)Rags and junk was the commom theme, how hard it must have been to "start up" with the competition there was.They all wanted a nice pretty shop in reality.. but without the means to

"Accountability"

2005-02-21T14:00:00.000Z

Is a key part of getting things done, we are all accountable to someone.For most of us thats the boss.. :-(But it does ensure you "get the work done".. as Marlon says. "If it aint done it aint done".So as a positive and I hope a productive boosting measure, I have started a blog, that I will post my "goals" and "things to do" onto, and make myself accountable to....anyone who reads it!!Far better

"A great response" I have at last got my site "out there" and I delivered the flyers, well HALF of them, (oh yes offline marketing, something that should be done more). And I am pleased with the response I have had so far. It seems the average response to be of about 1 - 2 % so to get 20 odd out of 500, is GREAT.!! :-) Better than I expected. I will keep track of everything, and I will get

The biggest challenge. Having been busy this last few days, I am facing and taking on the biggest challenge, in my mind, as we are all different and have different skills, in my learning curve so far. Though it is a key part in success online, and its something that I want to learn, rather than outsource, as people do. Of course there will be time when things have to be outsourced simply for

Having to take a break, has as surely as you know allowed me to take a step back, and coming back online, seeing things in a newer perspective, and I like it. :) Being more productive with my time will and has fired up my motivation to a new level. Being more productive is also allowing me to be more focused, and

So she does know it WILL get through it, and boy does she try. :) She also now has started to walk without

It has held me up an awful lot, even though I use

"Muck to brass" The progress of technology is quite scary when you look at the speed of it and how things become "out of date" so fast. Everyone knows that no company started off with the perfect product, and that is an important point to think about. Most things we buy have started off quite rough around the edges, yet they also improve over time. Imagine if they had not actually brought

"Feedback, critical to success" Often feedback is not what you WANT to hear but is often what you NEED to hear. Feedback gives you a different perspective, and possibly highlights things that would otherwise go missed. For this reason feedback can be a very big influence on your path to success. Its how you react to the feedback that counts. What you DO with that feedback. I AM glad to hear

"Visualise EVERYTHING" Well the plan is underway, by which I mean, set in motion, and now the hard work starts, AND I hope pays off. The odd thing is, at each step you DO something, your mind throws up the OTHER things you have to do, making the task seem that much MORE than you thought. But the MORE I do, the LESS I have to do. So onwards and upwards. : ) It is exciting times, and an

I dont think it all boils down to that myself. We can know some great people, yet not benefit from them simply because we dont see what they can offer to us. Its no good mixing with great people if

Influence. The dog bounded after the ball as I gently threw it along the sea wall, the ball was thrown at a chase-able speed for her. (she is almost 13, and for an alsation thats quite an age) :^) I glanced up as she walked at a pace back towards me, with the ball in her mouth and her tongue drapped out of one side, bobbing up and down with her pace. My stomach suddenly knotted for a brief

Work on yourself. This is an important point to keep in mind on your learning curve. Work harder on yourself than your work. Success is an attitude, a way of being. Rich people dont act that way because they are rich, they are rich because they act that way. Successful people dont act that way because they are successful, they are successful because they act that way. Personal growth is

Limitations are self imposed. If there is one thing I have heard that really rings the bell, it is this... "You are only limited by yourself and your actions". So whats stopping ya.. :^) Lets be honest here... if you didnt think you WERE capable of achieveing your dreams, you wouldnt have them. If you couldnt see yourself in reality as you do in your dreams then you wont reach them. You

You are what you read. I dont know about you but I love reading and it has a been a massive part of my life. Reading is self education. Self eduacation is the best education. ; ) You can never read to many books, but you can certainly read to few. And a book you DONT read is a book that CANT help you. While a child we learn to read, then we read to learn. Sadly alot of people leave school

Direct mail. Here in the uk there is a program on the tv called "Brassed off Britain", the program covers issues that "brass" people off. Basically things that bother us, annoy us. Among the things covered are "banks", "home improvements", "mobiles", "new cars", "new homes", and others. Services and consumables, etc. Interesting to see just how things bother us and what things bother us

Individuality. I have absolutely no doubt most of you have heard of it being important to your chances of success. At least important to getting people to KNOW you for being "different", for being "you". Today I notice another great example of the importance of individuality in business. How many of you as I am are subscribers to various list of various marketers and "gurus". Il bet many of

A daily dose. I have decided that I am going to try to post everyday now. Why? If we stop and listen to our heads, aint there an awful lot going on up there.. ; ) Therefore I feel its best to get things written down that I can share, that way I de-clutter my head. I dont know where all my readers are, but here in the south uk, we have had some fantastic weather, and most of us Brits like to

The mind. Last week an extraordinary thing happened. I was to be honest facing a few serious problems in my life.. offline, and I was and im not ashamed to say it, slightly scared. I was facing eviction.. you may not notice anything in my writing, as I am always striving to be positive at any given time, in any given situation, so I try to not let it effect my writing. : ) But it was a serious

I have something to share with you all. You will notice that I have a few links to forums on this blog and I think you should all be visiting forums for help and guidance, as they are a wealth of information, on most things we NEED to learn or WANT to learn. You will learn alot more if you post to the forums too. But it can be hard to get posting. We have all been there sometime, maybe with

The Fishermen........ As I stood on the clifftop.. scanning the beauitful horizon all around me..well its an Island (sort of), I watched as the sun set slowly on the sea, sunburst red clouds stretching overhead and behind me.. a line of shimmering red/orange on the sea coming from the sun towards me... Soaking up the beautiful range of natures colours. :^) I glanced around at the horizon,

It was a valuable visual lesson learnt. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, warming my face as i sat on the bench in the quiet local square, i sat scanning the book i had just got from the local library, taking a breather. I lifted my face every few minutes to look around.. out of habit. ( i am deaf so use eyes more than most ) ; ) On two sides of the square are two pubs with

Where do you learn..... Or where do you go for any answers? A great place to learn and ask questions, seek feedback is on forums. Forums are a great place to ask for advice and help, the people that use the forums are very genuine and honest in my mind, and its rare that you wont find answers that you seek. If the answers are not readily available, often people will go out of their way to

We all start somewhere...the important thing is just... :-) To start... I read that alot, and it seems to be the one thing that alot of us have a problem with. But the best thing is to just...start. Once you start it should only inspire the confidence to carry on DOING. Doing is that what produces results, no matter what the results. Whatever the result you can improve on that. John Reese
