How Time Flies

Hi all, It’s been months since my last post, not very professional is it !

I’ve not been slacking tho’ .. Over the last 6 months I’ve had quite a few ups and downs happen within the family life but I’m not going to moan on about how hard things can get, I will however mention the positive things that have/are happening.

1. I have been requested to build 3 websites for a local company and am in the final stages of completion :-)

2. I am creating a graphics package for a client which I may carry on with and release as a WSO . Since I started using Photoshop properly I am amazed on how simple making great graphics can be. I’ve owned PS for nearly 2 years but only recently started using it correctly.

3. I am in the process of creating a website totally devoted to brand new internet marketers (newbies) – This will be a complete online A~Z resource centre for people just taking their first steps and then moving up to the more intermediate levels.
It will take up a lot of  my bandwidth but the site will be completely free to all to join. I hope to get my costs reimbursed via affiliate sales and possibly optional donations.  I’ll keep you posted on this venture

4. And finally!!!…A couple of months ago I  finally reopened my Resale Rights For You site, It has had a great start with over 70 new members joining, in case you have never heard of it before i’ll just give you a quick insight…

As a free member you have access to many new download products just released as well as list building reports you can use to increase your own lists (they all come with MRR or PLR). There are 1000′s articles you can do what you want with.. edit & republish to ezines etc giving you more exposure. In the video area there is an ever growing beginner tutorial list as well as a full WordPress section.

Also, you can advertise any of your own products on site, just upload your product details via the online form and have your product displayed to the whole world – All for FREE!. You also have access to the creator section where you are able to create some great looking ebook covers, squeezepages,videosales pages & finally a graphics creator (some sites charge up to $10 per month for this service alone but it’s all available to you for free).. I’m hoping to add a banner creator too once I can secure the rights.

All the above can be accessed as a free member but if you choose to take the really cheap upgrade option you can have all the above including many of the latest premium products I am not allowed to give away – Just one or two downloads will save you more than the upgrade cost. There is a video course download area bringing you the best in full marketing courses (again with MRR) and also entry to my library containing an extra 650+ (and growing) products, these are mainly from 2010 and a few from beyond but are still sold elsewhere for many $$$, lastly, I will be bring the occasional offer on products I am not allowed to add to membership sites but at a price that I guarantee will not be beaten. Talking of guarantees – If your not happy – you get your money back … ‘Simples!’

As you can see, Along with my 50hr a week day job, family commitments etc I’ve not been sat on my laurels twiddling my thumbs lol.  I am determined to succeed in my online ventures and quit the day job in order to be completely self sufficient. My next projects I have lined up include development of products for the android market, this will take a little time but hey!.. It keeps me off the streets :-)

Well I think I’ve gone on long enough so till the next update take care and every success to each and every one of you!

P.S. Please take a look at my Resale Rights website,  It’s for people just like you.

Learn How to Use Web Analytics to Drive Results

If you want to run a profitable website, understanding how to interpret and use web analytics is vital to your success. You can find out what you’re doing right, and duplicate it. You can also find out what you’re doing wrong and avoid it.

The problem is, getting started with web analytics, and more specifically, Google Analytics, is a cumbersome task. And trust me, I know. Right now I’m working to implement advanced analytics tracking into the DIYthemes.com website.

While doing research, I stumbled on three fantastic resources that will help you understand and use web analytics. So, I figured, why not share them?

Occam’s Razor

“Analytics is vitally important, and no one explains it more elegantly, more simply, or more powerfully than Avinash Kaushik.” – Seth Godin

If you haven’t read Avinash Kaushik’s blog, Occam’s Razor, you should. During my research, his blog has been, by far, one of the best resources for web analytics tips.

More specifically, here are two articles I found extremely helpful:

* 3 Advanced Web Analytics Visitor Segments
* Beginner’s Guide to Web Data Analysis

Also, if you’re interested in learning about web analytics, Avinash literally wrote the book on the subject. Find it here on Amazon (affiliate link).
Measuring Success

If you use Google Analytics like I do here, you’ll need more specific information on how to use Google Analytics to drive results. That’s where Brian Clifton’s blog, Measuring Success, comes in. Here are a couple awesome articles from his site:

* How to Track Social Media with Google Analytics
* How to Choose Between Advanced Segments and Filters in Google Analytics

If you’re interested, Brian Clifton wrote the book on Google Analytics. Find it here on Amazon (affiliate link).

VKI Studios

If you’re anything like me, you probably have limited knowledge of Google Analytics—meaning, you know how to check keywords, referring traffic, and top content. If you’re looking to become a Google Analytics power user, VKI studios created a great quick-start guide.

Thats it! Hope you found this enjoyable reading, see you soon & don’t forget…feel free to comment.

It’s Been A While!

Hi all, Its been a while since my last post as I am now back at my daily job and time has been tight. Being off work for so long has made me appreciate time itself, especially now where my free time has just been slashed to a couple of hours a day. However, this has made me more determined to accelerate my efforts in order to return back to the free and easy lifestyle.

I have spent a lot of my time doing research on many aspects of marketing and it really does surprise me on the various ways in which you can ‘strike it rich’. If all sources are right then we would all be millionaires within the week…but as we know..all is not gospel by many many marketers.

I have started to categorize marketers into 4 bands in which I think I can understand each level,

1. Already successful (Guru’s) – Not always the best to follow as there seems to be a lack of personalization from many them. I try to find their latest offerings and follow suit, these guys know what sells and they always appear to be high end products. I guess that the small bucks appeal to the small marketer have all but dissappeared but they are still wise to follow.

2. Reputable Marketers – These are the people who I believe can help me succeed to the next level. They have new products on a regular basis and at reasonable cost. They use the latest techniques to invite subscribers, A help desk which they personally answer and have a down to earth approach which is refreshing to find.

3. Newbies - This includes many marketers who are trying to make the grade and appear to be succeeding in their ventures. More concerned about proving their worth rather than making a quick buck. I watch these people with great interest as they work their way up and finding out what they have done to reach their current level.

4. The wannabies - Offer anything they think will rake in the cash without doing the research or desires of the customer they are trying to reach. I watch these closely so I learn how not to make the same mistakes as I believe they are making.

I have also changed a lot of my email settings to segragate each into their own folder enabling me to work to my system. Right or wrong I think I stand the best chance if I do it all this way.

Everyone has their own way of researching but I hope this gives another option which could be implemented to your way of thinking. Let me have your comments as I would like to know your thoughts.

I’ve just been updating a couple of things and thought I would share these plugins with you which in my opinion are amongst the best plugins WordPress have to offer. All are free and easy to use.

Just click on the links to go to the download area for each plugin

1. TweetThis
TweetThis is a great WordPress plugin to help you increase the likelihood for visitors to your blog to share your posts through Twitter. When you install the plugin, an invitation link is included at the end of your blog posts suggesting that readers “TweetThis” and share a link to the post they’re reading through their Twitter feed.


2. All in One SEO Pack

The All in One SEO Pack plugin allows you to add title tags, descriptions, keywords and more to every page and post published on your blog. Users consistently report a noticeable increase in traffic to their blogs from Google searches after installing and using the All in One SEO Pack plugin.

3. SEO Title Tag
The SEO Title Tag plugin allows you to override the automated title tags that WordPress sets for your blog posts and pages, so you can use keywords in your title tags that are far more search engine-friendly than the words in your actual post or page titles.

4. Google XML Sitemaps
Google XML Sitemaps is a plugin made with a specific search engine optimization benefit in mind – to help Google find every post and every page on your blog, index them and include them in search results. Helpful for blogs that want to get indexed by search engines quickly.

5. Simple Tags
The tagging functionality in WordPress is great, but the Simple Tags plugin takes it to a whole new level by boosting your blog’s search traffic.

I hope you find these useful :-)

I found this excellent post here and thought it needs to be shared.

Few would disagree that SEO is one of the most important aspects of having a top ranking website or blog. SEO should be used as an integral part of your overall ranking strategy, and is vitally important coupled with keyword research, on page SEO, back-linking, sitemaps and article submission creating an allround search engine dominating force. This article explores 5 essential tips for SEO domination that can be started right now.

1. Keywords are important – but the right keywords relevant to your site and on page SEO are vitally important. To optimise your webpage for your keywords involves placing your keywords in your Title tag (the thin blue line at the top of your page), within your H1 and H2 tags on your webpage and strategically placed within the first paragraph of your main text. Although some Internet Marketers do not consider this as important it is worth completing this step in your overall strategy. Search engines crawling the internet now have a better chance of finding your site and indexing your site for the keywords you chose.

2. Submiting articles to high ranking article sites is a sure way to receive traffic and increase your overall ranking with the search engines. The most popular article site is ezinearticles.com who follow strict guidelines for submission of your articles but in return you can receive free traffic and back links with very little effort. Outsourcing article writing is a very smart way to maximise the number of articles you can submit for a relatively small investment saving you time and the effort of writing articles yourself.

3. Back linking has become a very important aspect of traffic generation and search engine ranking. By receiving high PR (Page Rank) backlinks from as many sources as possible (naturally) search engines value your webpage as more important over time. Finding high ranking websites to submit links to can be difficult but well worth the effort – several tools exist to help find these and many products have been created to submit and find high PR relevant websites. These links add credibility to your site and have proven themselves to be highly effective in SEO domination.

4. Sitemap submission is also important allowing search engines to see your website. Submitting your site to the major search engines gives your site an extra boost when the robots crawl the net looking for new sites. Submitting your sitemap is relatively easy and some platforms such as wordpress have plugins which do this automatically for you. Do not forget this step in your overall strategy.

5. Keyword research is vital to your success and what can be the most exciting stage of SEO domination is finding the right keywords with minimal competition but targeted and relevant traffic. What keywords do your customers use to search for your product and are they buying when finding the information they need? Your goal is to find targetted keywords relevant to your site, and how your customers are searching when using those keywords – the good news is there are products available to help with this research and many forums also teach these skills.

The tips outlined above when used together will help increase your online presence and ensure the major search engines “find” your site in the maze that we call the Internet. Some of these tips alone can create massive amounts of traffic but ideally combining them all should become standard practise when lauching any new or existing site.
