Life Happens
Goodness! I have been away for a bit, life happens! Wedding reception, car broke, new tires, dogs and KIDS! 5 of them!(kids, not dogs) Been a real busy week, but I did get to finally watch the videos that Dean made for us. AND (drum roll please) I am over 1000 followers on TWITTER!!!
So we are in module 3 of Dean Holland’s Starting with Marketing and it’s all about TRAFFIC! Dean made us some videos about the different ways he gets traffic to his site and he’s doing pretty well! We all know if you want to be an internet marketer, you gotta have traffic to your website!
My favorite is blog hopping, it is where you visit blogs, and leave comments on them. Not just any blog, but blogs in your chosen field or ‘niche’. Your name is shown as a link to your website (in your comment) and people can read your comment and click on your name. That will take them to the website you entered when you left the comment! Cool, huh? It’s called TRAFFIC!!I love to surf the blogs and leave comments. I really like reading what other people are doing and saying, I could get lost in it!!
Dean also talked about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Still a little fuzzy there, but we are going to have a special guest who is an expert in SEO come talk to us on a webinar! Good thing because I don’t understand too much about SEO and it is something I have always wanted to learn!! And the coolest thing about all of this??? The expert is a friend of mine!! Woo-Hoo! I didn’t even know he was the expert on SEO!! (maybe I should read my emails?!?)
Dean also said don’t write blog posts for the search engines!! We need to write our own blog posts naturally, (can you tell??) Little by little the search engines will find us! This is so NOT a get rich quick scheme! And it’s so much FUN!
Hope y’all are having a fantastic week and remember…. life happens and you still gotta stay FOCUSED!

Just got done watching the module 5 minutes ago and found that while new to the whole blogging / twitter thing, I do know a thing or two about paid search, particulary Google Adwords. I have been promoting my other business using a geo-targeted ad campaign so when people in my area type in “it consultant” or “computer repair” our company shows up in the sponsored search results. Though for now, I do like the idea of “free” traffic even better!
Take care,
Ralph
