Teleseminar: How To Attract Traffic Using MyBlogLog(Members Only)

admin — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:41:19 +0000

MyBlogLog is a blogging directory or community, for want of better description. Through MyBlogLog you can connect with other bloggers in your niche and develop a community.

Whilst the ’social networking’ aspects of MyBlogLog are there, one of the advantages of MyBlogLog is that you can attract traffic by using the right tools and tactics. These tatics are legal too!

The main advantage of listing with MyBlogLog, as with many other Blogging Directories, is the backlink from a high authority site to your site. Of course, you have to do some work to make sure that link is worthwhile.

In this weeks Video, I demonstrate:

How To Add MyBlogLog Avatars to your blog comments

For instance, everytime I enter How To Videos Central, my blog system automatically inserts a link to my sales page for my interactive learning package. Or, when I enter the term - free teleseminars - my teleseminars page on this blog is linked?

Well with the plugin that I demonstrate in this weeks Teleseminar, it is entirely possible!

Teleseminar: How To Add Redirect Links Through Your Blog(Members Only)

admin — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:10:32 +0000

When you are promoting someone elses products or services, generally as an affiliate, or you want to link to a site that has large and unwieldy URL, a redirect link using your own website address can be much friendlier. There is also the fact that your affiliate link is hidden from view.

When you use a redirect link through your website address, you are not only branding your site, you are providing a user friendly address that should be easier to remember. The question is how do you do that on a website, or a blog?

In this video, I demonstrate how to easily add a plug-in and set up redirect links through your blog.

If you find my teleseminars and videos helpful, you may find my training package even more so. Please visit How To Videos Central for more information.

The plug-in for this video is available via http://urbangiraffe.com/resources/download/plugin/redirection.zip

To ensure that user friendly URLs can be used, I demonstrate how to set up your Permalink structure. The custom code to enter is

%category%/%postname%/

Eliminate the #1 Reason Why Most Businesses Fail To Get Their Businesses Online

admin — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:38:49 +0000

Over the last few years, I have been approached by friends, family and business colleagues who have been trying to get their online business up and running, asking for help. They have a really strong grasp on the marketing aspects - the need for a squeeze page, the need for an online newsletter, payment pages etc…. but they just can’t work out how to get the information to their website.

In fact, after attending a number of seminars, I find that many business people enrol in a fantastic coaching package or a product to help develop their business. They go home and start with their coaching, only to find that they aren’t shown how to do the ‘technical’ things to get their business live. Don’t get me wrong - the coaching packages are great value and well worth the investment, but many assume that the technical activities will be outsourced or the business owner knows how to do them theirselves. The situation as I see is that the business owner doesn’t know what they don’t know, cash flow is tight and they can’t afford to have a tech ‘on-call’ or to outsource the work, or they don’t know what needs to be outsourced on how much it should cost. This is extremely frustrating for the business owner and often, their project stalls or stops because of it.

After talking to a number of small business people and solopreneurs and listening to what challenges them the most, I have developed a package that will literally take you by the hand and lead you interactively through each step of the technical side of getting your business online. By the time you finish, you will know exactly what to do and how long it should take. With this knowledge, you can choose which activities you want to do yourself and what you want to outsource. Not only that, if you can’t get hold of your outsource team, you will be empowered to do some of the tasks yourself.

My system consists of a comprehensive Video training program that literally takes you by the hand and show you how to get your web presence online, quickly, effectively and inexpensively.

Through my videos, you will learn by seeing, hearing and being able to copy the exact steps that I show you. This program allows me to take you, step by step, through the process to get your web presence online. You actually get to see what is happening, as it happens, and see what the screen actually looks like as it occurs. Imagine being able to:

See exactly what should happen, what the screen looks like and what the exact mous movements are….
Copy the action, immediately, and ensure that you get the same results….
Review the lesson time and time again, whenever you need to…
Follow each lesson and have your web site / blog up and running in no time at all.

Not only that, you will have access to the online, interactive group tutoring session and be able to speak with others who are also experience technology challenges and be able to share your experiences with them. I will be present at the session and provide guidance on the best way to address the challenges.

Access to online support where you can ask questions and receive assistance. Those niggling little questions that have you stumped will generally be answered and sorted within a matter of hours.

This fantastic resource is available to you now. Learn how to auto pilot the tech stuff and get your site online now.

Teleseminar: How To Setup Your RSS Feed And Monetize It(Members Only)

admin — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:15:32 +0000

This teleseminar demonstrates how to seup your Wordpress Blog to ‘burn’ the RSS feed through Feedburner, how to monetize the feed and how to use RSS to get your blog indexed quickly by Google.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a great way to get your blog posts to your readers desktops. When utilized correctly, RSS will deliver your formatted posts directly to your readers desktop with links and all in tact. It is an excellent way to deliver your newsletter and a fantastic alternative to EMail. The two largest advantages that RSS has over email, is that it bypasses SPAM filters and it is very easy for readers to opt in / opt out.

For a reader to be able to use RSS, they will need a RSS Reader. There are a number of different flavours of RSS Readers: Web based like Google Reader or Bloglines; or a PC / Mac based application like FeedDemon. Some EMail clients have built in RSS readers, the latest version of Outlook finally integrated a RSS reader and Mozilla Thunderbird has an intergrated RSS Reader.

However, as with everything you do, you need to test and track your results. The standard RSS feed from Wordpress is not easy to track, which is why I use Feedburner as my RSS feed. Feedburner also has a bundle of other fantastic features to enhance your blog feed, and I discuss the majority of them in this teleseminar.

You will need the following plug-ins for your Blog to configure and format your RSS Feed.

Enjoy the video and happy Feed Burning! When you have your RSS Feed configured, post the link in the comments so others can subscribe to your feed.
