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.

Want to cut through the ‘Geek Speak’ … save time, money and frustration?

Do you have some knowledge, but need more?

You don’t have to be a technical to use the Internet and there is always help to be found. But do you feel that you could be more productive and effective if you just knew ‘How-To’.

What about understanding the Geeks? Do you sometimes feel that they are deliberately trying to confuse you? Just can’t understand what they mean, or sometimes what they’re saying.

How about Reading Instructions? Just plain confusing?

Wouldn’t it be great to have someone take you by the hand and walk you through “How-To” do something and show you the steps you need to take??? Better still, how about being able to reference this help, whenever you need it, not when someone is available to help you??

Help is at hand!

Join me for my How-To Teleseminar Series and I will show you, live, “How-To”:
