Stuck in Traffic!
Posted by: | Comments2010 is here! Its time to do it big! I am still looking to make my first bit of significant cash online. I have no doubt it will happen more sooner than later. The key to making money on line is getting traffic and building a list. I am now concentrating on specific traffic strategies and am starting to see results. One of the first strategies I am using is called blog hopping and am getting great results. I am visiting various blogs within my niche and commenting on them and inevitably I am receiving traffic from the blog owner and also the people who look at the blog’s comments. It’s working great. I have also researched some keywords and have been using those keywords, once I am ready to post on my blog. I can’t say things have happened overnight, but I am slowly but surely gaining a following using the traffic methods I have learned in Alex Jeffrey’s and Dean Holland’s marketing classes. I’ll be discussing these methods a bit more in detail in my next post. Drop by and see me…Darren.

Get your Welcome Video up fast!!!!
Posted by: | CommentsI hope your New Year is off to a great start!!!! I told you I would be back to give you some more information for recording a welcome video. Before I get into that, I wanted to talk about a comment I received and expand on it a bit. How brave do you have to be to do a video? Not very brave… trust me on that one! I find that many people are reluctant to record videos because they are afraid. Afraid of what? Afraid they might mess up, afraid they might stumble over their words, and just plain afraid of being in front of the camera. Get over it! You have to come out of your comfort zone to accomplish anything! Here’s the kicker… we are our own worst critics. Your video is probably not as bad as you think it is. Remember: People want to connect and see the person behind the words. Now that’s out of the way… on to better things.
Let’s get ready to record your video. First you’ll need to record it with something… I prefer to use my Flip Video Camcorder. Once your video is recorded, you’ll need to upload it to a host. I like to use Tube Mogul because it uploads it to many different hosts at one time. Keep in mind you’ll need to have a youtube or metacafe account before you can use TubeMogul, but it is a great way to upload your video to 1 or more hosts at a time. Once your video is uploaded get your embed code and you are ready to roll, well almost ready. You’ll need to visit your blog’s back page and and install the flash video plugin. Once this is installed, you are ready to go. All you need to do now is take a text box from your widget page and drag it to where you want to install the video then paste your video embed code into the text box, and your video is almost ready to show the world. All you need to do is one little thing . On your text box where you installed the embed code you’ll need to adjust the height and width of your video, by changing the the numbers which correspond to them. Keep in mind the embed code has four places where the height and width of your video need to be changed. Once you change these, hit save and close on your text box and go to your blog and you should be broadcasting to the world. So what are you waiting on??? Hop to it!!!!
