Ask for advice when stuck!!
Never be too proud to ask for advice from somebody who's been at this game for longer than yourself.
I've had a good day today, I've taken some advice from a guy who was one of Alex's students from the first course that he did. His name is Mark Terrell. I've started to get to know Mark really by e-mail and other comments he has been leaving on my blog, which I have to say at this point are much appreciated, just the same as everybody else's comments that have been left. When you're in my position a complete newbie at this game when you start to get comments on your blog it means a lot and it doesn't really matter whether they're negative or not because what you really need to know is, am I doing it right is it going to work and what do the visitors think of it.
Looking at my Google analytics statistics it was clear I had to try and get advice how to get traffic to my blog. Having signed up for auto tweeting, Mark very kindly gave me some assistance to get auto tweeting setup correctly. Having done this we started to talk about traffic and blogs in general; the advice Mark gave me was this: Go through everybody on the student's blog list and leave a comment of some description on each of the blogs. He told me, even if you know nothing about the subject on the post leave a comment introducing yourself and saying that you were going round all the member's blog and saying hi and leaving a comment as and where possible. This in turn will get people to visit your blog and leave comments this is really what we are after. This will provoke traffic between all the member's blogs.
The next step is to find a list of the top blogs in Internet marketing niche, have a look at each one of them in turn and leave a comment on each one, obviously with your name and blog address left with a comment. By doing all this you will get your name around the Internet, yes it will take time but at this stage this does not matter. We are not in a get rich quick scheme-we are getting rich for ever!!
I know some of us are further ahead of the others on this course I guess there are other people in the same position as myself so I hope this post will help you generate a little traffic to your blogs as well.
Thanks mark for your time, Hope your dinner was not too cold!!
All the best catch you next time.
Regards Steve.
