My friend Garry Parkes made a brand new post over at his blog the other day that really should be of interest to all students in the Alex Jeffrey’s mentoring program.
Traffic is probably the biggest obstacle you’ll need to overcome before you are prepared for success and the best part about what is set to transpire here is that all traffic you’ll receive from this idea of Garry’s will be targeted – meaning those people who click on your link to visit your blog through his newsletter will be looking to find out what you are up to or what you may be offering on your blog. In addition to this, you’ll only need to do the work once and you are completely set up for as long as your links remain active in his edition.
Yes,there are many MANY resources and information products that cover Wordpress in some way or another, however piecing together the most essential things can be a huge pain in the ass! With that said, i’ve decided to put my experiences/knowledge on paper so to speak and share it you, the readers.
Although it’s not set in stone – at this stage the guide is focusing more on the following areas:
- Installing your blog in 5minutes or less
- Blog themes – what you should be looking for
- Plugins that i use and what they are used for
Following the examples created by others in the Alex Jeffrey’s program, i too have decided to setup a community listing for member blogs, but with a different approach.
Creating a huge list on a blogroll just is not a very good idea for a few reasons. When a web site’s page begins to contain an excessive amount of links, it begins to give a site a spam appearance… which is often frowned upon by search engines.
I’ve created a page branching off the main page which is reserved exclusively for member blogs. You’ll notice this link at the top entitled ‘friends’.
The offline and online world are not much different from one another. In order to be successful, a proper system needs to be in place, you’ll need to be organized and most importantly you’ll also need to take action if you are to profit well.
We’ve all heard the saying … “the most important thing you can do right now is to take action!” right? It is so true. With so many distractions on the Internet, your profiting ability will always suffer so long as distractions exist around you. I am not sure where i heard this, but they say that for every distraction causes a lapse of 11 minutes in time that is lost before before you are back on track.
To be successful online, a person almost always needs help from someone who has already been successful.
A mentor or a go-to person in other words.
When you have bought as many money making products and systems as i have and only experienced minimal success – you begin to wonder where along the line you went wrong!
In these days, guidance from a mentor can really determine whether or not you are successful or not online.
