Well here I am almost a month later after I told you I was doing a major overhaul of my blog and if memory serves me correctly I said I would be done in a couple of days. So much for meeting my deadline. I just ran into many unexpected problems along the way and the final straw was when I couldn’t get online for three days. Three days may not seem like much but in Internet time it’s like an eternity. And if I’m going to be perfectly honest with you I must admit that I just got lazy for awhile and took some time off to boot.

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.

Hopefully this will be my last post using this theme. Not that I don’t like this theme it’s just that I’ve grown tired of it and I think it’s time for a change. This theme was actually a little hard to maintain. Some things just didn’t work right and I had to do too much coding to correct them. Hopefully I can spend less time coding and more time posting as this new theme is much easier to maintain. I’ve been pondering changing it for some time now but there just never seems to be enough time in the day.

I am noticing more and more the use of automation to gain Twitter followers. People that have 20 to 30 thousand followers and still growing by leaps and bounds. I thought the whole point of Twitter was to find a group of people, or followers as Twitter calls them, that you wanted to interact with. If you are using one of these tools you need to be careful as you will assuredly attract some undesirables.

Most online entrepreneurs believe that a website is all that is required to succeed. It’s true that a website gives you an identity on the Internet, makes you approachable to your potential clients, and eventually, becomes a source of income. However, there’s a multitude of sites on the Internet, and the probability of your website getting lost in this jumble is quite high. This is where list building becomes obligatory.

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.

I mentioned a few posts back that I joined Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program. It’s really called “Marketing With Alex”. The first webinar was November 24th, 2008. That’s not even 4 weeks ago and I have learned so much in so little time. We’ve had 4 or 5 webinars in this time and you talk about great information that Alex is giving us.

Lucky for me all webinars have been around 6:00pm Eastern Time, as I live on the east coast in Massachusetts. Alex and others live in the UK and it’s 5 hours ahead of me so we don’t even start until 11:00pm his time. And I must tell you these are marathons going from 3 to 6 hours.
