We’ll start off by wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It’s hard to believe but yes, it’s 2010 and I wonder how many of you have made New Years resolutions. I used to make new resolutions every year but that’s when I was much younger. Now I figure I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m entitled to have a few vices so no more resolutions for me. Besides let’s face it, most of us have blown it by the end of January.

I was up late last night when the highly anticipated release of Alex Jeffreys latest ebook named Newbies Nightmare occurred. Believe me, all I wanted to do was to go to bed as I was so stinking tired.

But I knew this ebook was coming out and I wanted to read it as soon as I could. The Newbies Nightmare is a short 45 page ebook so I started reading it even though I could barely stay awake. I basically read the whole ebook with one eye closed but I couldn’t stop reading it until I finished. Yes it’s that good.

Back on Dec 23, 2008 I made a post here on how I was going to drive traffic to my blog. Well, I can tell you that I have done everything I said I was going to do except join Squidoo. And I did start to see an increase in traffic. Now before I say anymore or post an image of my results I want to state that in an earlier post I did say I would keep you up to date on how I was doing, good or bad.

This is how I was doing just a couple weeks after starting Alex Jeffreys coaching program.

Alex Jeffreys challenged myself and the rest of his students to step out of our comfort zone and create a video. All we had to do was to make a video and submit it to Youtube and the video that received the most views would win.

Sounds simple enough right, unless of course you’ve never done it before which is my case.

I’ve been working all week on this video contest. I didn’t have a camcorder so I had to borrow one and learn how to use it. Then I’ve been having nothing but trouble with the software. I did manage to finally record the video and next I had to figure out Youtube which this will be the first time I’ve submitted a video.

I’m going to be giving an audio interview with my fellow Marketing With Alex students Mark Call, Garry Parkes and Mark Austin. The interview will be posted sometime in January on StudentsOfAlex.com. I will let you know as I find out a few more details.

When I was asked if I wanted to do this at first I said you’ve got to be kidding me, what have I got to offer. There must be some more interesting people than me they could be interviewing. But then I thought why not me, I have as much to offer as anyone else.

David Smith is a fellow Alex Jeffreys student who I just met online last night.

I was just out perusing some Alex Jeffreys student blogs and I came across his name. Turns out he has either created or purchased over 100 videos on many tasks that any internet marketer is going to have to do at some point in time.

I dropped by his blog and posted a comment and I told him I would try and pass the word about his videos because I don’t think many of the students know about them.

I’m back. I finally managed to pry the snow blower and shovel out of my hand long enough to sit down and write this post. The last time I talked to you was last Friday and I told you how Alex Jeffreys was holding a competition for his students. He’s going to give away $1,000 to the one who has the most traffic to their blog in a two week period.

I also said I was going to tell you what I’m going to do to drive traffic to my blog before I do it, then I will post the results on my blog.
