This is part of the free list building system I teach and is available step by- step on my blog. This is a technique I use to stay on track when submitting to Giveaway Sites.

Since there are many list building giveaway sites running promotions concurrently it can be hard to keep track of your daily tasks.

I find this spreadsheet keeps me on top of things. I Hope this video helps you…

If you haven’t seen it already… here is the video..

I have always been a very sporty person and I find this clip a very moving and motivational piece.

Alex Jeffreys

As you may know by now I am lucky enough to be mentored by Alex Jeffreys. Alex is a very successful entrepreneur from several businesses he has started. He has generously offered to give his own time to a select bunch of people and mentor them on business building.

Having a mentor is like having a motivational guiding force - even if you are blindfolded they will help you find your way to success. I believe we can all be successful in everything we put our minds to, all it takes sometimes is someone to provide that first spark.

One of the most helpful things I’ve learnt from Alex is how to plan so that I can make more money and work less hours. You can watch the same two videos he gave to me here >> http://postlaunchprofits.com/workless

Alex’s mentor style or niche may not suit everyone but I want you to seek out a mentor that can help you achieve your goals in your specific area.

The problem is, everyone has an opinion; ask ten different people how to start a business and you will get ten different answers. The same goes for asking advice on how to get fit, how to find a bargain in real estate, how to make a good presentation, how to throw a good party… etc… etc.

So what seperates the good advice from the bad advice? Who should you listen to?

I’ve learnt this important lesson: Only take advice from people who have already gone through what you are trying to accomplish. With that in mind here are five qualities that you should look for in a mentor:

1. Success - if your mentor isn’t successful then how do you expect them to help you become successful?
2. Rags to riches story - if you’ve had a tough life you probably want to make sure your mentor can relate to you. If their family has always had money, then they probably wont understand what you went through and where you need help in life.
3. Time- If they dont have the time to spare, they won’t be able to help you.
4. Abundance of knowledge - the job of a mentor is to help you with the problems you face in life and not just the problems you face with your business or career.
5. Good heart - there are a lot of things in this world that are unethical to do but yet legal. You want someone with good morals to help you or else you may be asked to do unethical things.

This video provides some good tips on how you can approach a possible mentor.

If you found either video or this information helpful I’d love to hear from you. You can send me your comments below.

To your success,
Ryan Price

For the last few weeks I have been using TweetLater to manage my twitter automation and grow my business.  I plan to use the scheduled tweet function and other functions soon.

Tweet Later is a free tool that integrates with your twitter account.  Once I had an account, I set up the automatic relpy feature to send automated thank you notes to new followers, and automatically follow them back.

Now I can’t stress this point enough but when you write your automated reply try to make it sound like you are talking to your new follower and only them.  Dont  try and sell them something with this first welcome message. Very few people like that.  Be careful even if you’re giving away something for free.  The purpose of this message is to say hello and welcome.  Most people take a dim view of you when you do any kind of self-promotion with this message.  If your message smells remotely like, “Hi, thanks for the follow, now buy my stuff or do something that will benefit me or check out how cool I am,” then you really are misusing this welcome message.  Don’t send what you wouldn’t like to receive from others.

You should try to think about what you want your followers to do and how you would like to engage them.  Do you want them to write you a message back?  In this case your automated message may read:

“Hi, Thanks for the follow, nice to meet you!  How are you?”

Or do you want them to join your cause? then your automated message may read:

“Hi thanks for supporting diabetes awareness. Get more info about the charity here www…”

By using the second technique you can move a significant share of your Twitter followers on to your email list where you can continue to develop a trusting relationship over time.

To do this you put an opt-in email subscription form on the page where your new Twitter visitors are directed - and promise to send them the free report via email as soon as they join your list (and confirm their subscription)!

You can do this in many different ways.

1. You could make it mandatory to opt-in - in which case, you should make a strong case for WHY your new Twitter follower might want that report.  Highlight the value inside it, show how it will benefit your prospect’s life.

2. You could permit the download and ask for opt-ins within the report itself.  That way you’ll get better qualified and interested subscribers who have actually consumed your free content, liked it, and want more.

3. You could do both… give away a download link, and at the same time ask them to opt-in so they can receive even more value from you.

So thats a quick intro to TweetLater and I’ll be unlocking new features and techniques with it soon but until then let me know how you use TweetLater…

Over the last few days I have discovered some *awesome* tips and techniques for using Twitter as part of your business.  I have finally signed up for an account and plan to implement a bunch of these techniques very soon.

Not quite sure what Twitter is?

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

Isn’t Twitter just a waste of time?

Chances are, many high profile people that you know, use Twitter.  From business marketers to authors to CEO’s, lots of professionals use Twitter to build relationships with customers, business partners and fans alike.  Thus, twitter is a vessel for easy communication with people you would not usually get a chance to meet.  Large businesses such as Cisco Systems, Jet Blue, Sun Microsystems and Whole Foods Market also use Twitter to provide product and service information.

So I have finally taken the plunge and signed up for an account to explore how Twitter can help my business.

I plan to explore a few *hot* techniques with Twitter that I will continue to post about here on my blog so you can take the best ones and use them for yourself.  Among the things I’ll be working on are:

1. Using web applicationsto help locate people to follow e.g. Twubble
2. Optimising your twitter profile to impress your visitors
3. Creating a landing page for your account URL to deliver a personal message… this is hot!
4. How to tweet… seems so simple hey? but it isnt
5. How to use Twitter to grow your business
6. How to use Tweet Later
7. How to get traffic and leads
8. Integrating other social media

and lots lots more…

Also, this one tip can save you hours and hours of keeping track and replying to comments - Awesome for more traffic!

Mini-Traffic-Project #2 - Video

For my second traffic generation project.  I am going to use video, a short instructional video on how to set up a word press blog.

You can view this video at the bottom of this post.

I am also using a website called tube mogul to submit my video to multiple video directories, including you tube, Yahoo, meta cafe, Google, blip TV and others.

You can sign up for an account for free at www.TubeMogul.com

Tube mogul will automatically uploaded and submit your videos to all of these sites once you have set it up

The steps are:

1.  Create your video.  I use Camtasia Studio but you can use free cam video software.
2. Upload your video to tube mogul and enter a title, description.
3. Launch your video on tube mogul.  This will upload and submit your video to multiple sites.

No need to worry about creating a video page on your website to upload to all you need to do is embed your video in your website from one of the video sites you submitted to.

For example, to embed my video below I copy and pasted the HTML code from YouTube in the Embed video box.

Ok now that traffic project is up and running its on to the next one…

Talk soon

P.S. Have a Happy New Year!!!

In my two years of Internet marketing and trying to build a list  I had never come across Giveaways websites untill Alex Jeffreys told me here that they are one of the best ways to explode your list.

Giveaway sites are used by Internet marketers to build their lists by offering a gift in a promotion.

It is typical for these promotions to hold hundreds of gifts, and therefore there are hundreds of people driving traffic to this one site.  By submitting your gift, to this site, you can potentially gain subscribers from the combined efforts of many people.

I am participating in my first giveaway this January and I am about to share with you the way I have set up my promotion.

First, you have to find a giveaway site that suits your niche.  There are many that focus on Internet marketing, but there are also lots that offer gifts on many other topics.

You then sign up to become a contributor to the giveaway and gain access to your back office, where you can upload your gift, including a photo or picture of it, title and description.

It is completely free, to sign up as a contributor.  However, you can upgrade to a paid member to gain the ability to upload more than one gift and sometimes earn bonus points towards contributor commission.  In my first giveaway I am signing up as a free contributor.

After uploading a photo of my e-book and entering a title and description  I created a special squeeze page for the giveaway containing a picture of the e-book and a list of benefits that they will get from downloading my e-book. 

I then put my autoresponder code at the bottom of the page to collect their name and e-mail address and send them to the download page.  This page acts to confirm to the customer what they are downloading and the benefits of receiving my product in return for the contact details.   This means they have to join my list, should they wish to receive my free gift.  I also put and no spam/privacy policy statement below my form. 

Once they’ve entered their details, they are sent to a download page, where they can download their free e-book and are also presented with a one time offer.  This one-time offer is a small up sell.  This is another of my products that they may purchase at a special price.

It is in your best interests to make this one time offer highly relevant to the product that they are downloading.  They are more likely to purchase the one-time offer, if it is highly relevant to the gift since you know they are interested in that topic.  It will not make sense to them to buy a product totally unrelated to what they are interested in the first place.

So there you have it.  I am offering a free e-book that has great value to the niche that my giveaway services and people can download it by joining my list.  I am offering some highly relevant instructional videos, as my one-time offer.  If these people purchase these videos, I can make some bonus cash.  However, my focus is on building a list and for those who joined my list, to build a relationship with them through e-mail.

I hear to do well on these giveaway sites, you have to promote your gift with an affiliate link that they provide you.  The idea is that they want as many people sending traffic to the site as possible.  Over the next couple of days I will be implementing this.  I’m not sure exactly how I will do that but here are a few ways I could think off top of my head:

1. advertise the giveaway on your blog
2. tweet about it on twitter
3. write articles on the topic for article directories and provide a link to get free e-book’s
4. e-mail your existing list and friends.
5. Create and upload the video promoting the giveaway, and your free e-book

I will follow up with some more posts in January, about how this giveaway is going.

Till then, goes searching for some giveaway sites yourself.

Thanks in part to a conversation with Mark Austin (you can check his post on Traffic Generation here<<) I had the idea of posting the process and results of my traffic generatin endeavours here on my blog and calling them “mini-traffic-projects”.

Hopefully some of them will turn into HUGE traffic projects and start pulling large amounts of traffic to my blog and PPP but I’ll start with baby steps. 

The aim is to quickly set up lots of different mini-traffic-projects and then with the tracking I have set up through google analytics spend more time on the ones that are pulling the best.

The projects that dont pull much traffic may be tweaked later but the focus will be on making the most out of the top 2 or 3 techniques that show me the greatest returns in the next few weeks.

So here we go…

MINI-TRAFFIC-PROJECT #1 - SQUIDOO

Squidoo is a website designed to make it easy for anyone, for free, to set up a single page on a topic he or she knows or cares a lot about.  They encourage you to create a lens which is just another name for a single page website.

My goal is to provide some interesting and useful content on my lens and by adding some links create a way for readers of my lens to visit my blog and PPP - Simple hey?

Ok, lets get started.

Go to squidoo.com and type in what you want to make a page about to get started. 

TIP #1: Think of one idea you want to write about and be specific.  This should concisely describe what your lens will be about and you can use this as your lens heading and url in subsequent steps.  If you have more than one idea to write about put that down on paper and create a second lens later.  Keep one idea per lens.

When choosing a category i typically choose business but choose a category that is relevant to your topic of discussion.

Now its time to add content to your lens.  By adding text modules you can enter text, pictures, upload photos and create just about anything - just click on the “edit” button next to each module.

TIP #2: to add a link into your text cut and paste this:

 <a href=”http://YOUR_LINK.com” target=”_new”>YOUR_TEXT</a>

This will make your text a clickable link to what ever url you enter.

Then click publish.

You can see my Squidoo lens here<<

Leave a comment on my Squidoo lens.

You can then email your friends about your new lens and start promoting it on the web.

TIP #3: In a couple of day your lens will be reviewed and you will be able to submit it to groups on Squidoo - this is a powerful way of getting lots of people who are interested in the same topic to view your lens.

Ok, so I have my first lens up and running.  I’ll be back in a couple of days to tell you the effect on my traffic.  For now its onto looking to start my next mini-traffic-project…

Talk soon.

Okay module 4 of Alex Jeffreys coaching program was another jampacked three hour session.  This session was about driving traffic to your blog and using social media to do this.
 

Just two short months ago, I started this blog with nothing and I feel now that through this blog, I am creating value and providing useful information for many people. It really is beautiful to see a business grow from nothing.

In this coaching session, Alex Jeffreys said, if he showed as one million ways to make $1 million you wouldn’t make any money. The problem is, you wouldn’t spend enough time on the things that really need attention, and the things that really drive business. You would be overwhelmed with information… and this is how I feel, that is until I started the Alex Jeffreys coaching program. Now I have direction and am achieving results.

So now it is down to…

The Nuts and Bolts of Traffic Generation

 
…a topic. I have been totally confused with in the past.

Let’s get started.

Alex asked me in the coaching session. “If I want to go tuna fishing in the ocean, where would I fish?”  His answer was, “underneath an oil rig”. He was saying that in the whole entire ocean the best fishing is near and man-made structure. You see, on that man main structure grows algae and on that algae feeds clams, and these clams attract little fish, who attract big finish. The big fish attract large fish, and so on and so on.

Now how is this related to Internet marketing and my blog? Alex said to me “think of you blog as an oil rig”.  And when you add content to your blog, you are adding the algae to the rig. This algae attracts clams who start to comment on your blog, who attract customers, which are small fish, and once you start to learn how to catch the small fish it is only a matter of time until you start catching them faster. And soon you start to catch bigger fish.
But here’s the big tip to fast track is process, Alex told me to fish on other peoples oil rigs. He called it oil rig hopping

By commenting on other people’s blogs, you can engage in conversation and add value to other people’s blogs in a similar or related field. And if what you are saying is of good value, many people will click back to your blog to find out more about what you are talking about.

 ie. If you provide value, people will see it and want to learn more from you.

Oil rig hopping, must be the most powerful and simple traffic building tool ever. Blogs are sticky and people return to them frequently, so traffic can become evergreen and starting flow consistently

Now you must not waste too much time on this. So you have to plan a little.

You only want to be commenting on blogs that are in a similar niche, so go to Google and search for blogs with in your keyword group. Also, make a note of the gurus in your niche and start commenting on their blogs. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT  just say “hi great blog check out mine” you need to add value to the communication, try to write full articles in your comments if possible.

You can use blog commenting to find ideas to write about on your blog by simply commenting to someone’s post by saying ” wow, that’s great information, I really enjoyed that and I am going to write about it on my blog and link back to you”.

Just remember, always create value. Your blog is your business, build your business.

Spend some time on this step, then you can go back and look at your google analytics to see where the most traffic is coming from and concentrate on those blogs that send you the most traffic.

Quick SEO tip:

the Internet is built on keywords, so add keywords to your blog. Check out this fast keyword research tip:

Just type in your main keyword into Google and look at the top 10 organic searches. These will contain highly targeted keywords, that is why they are in the top 10 in the first place. You can use these keywords on your blog, and be guaranteed to have highly targeted keywords. How simple is that?!

Alex Jeffries, quoted Napoleon Hill when he said ” you can acquire more friends in two months, showing an interest in them than you could in two years trying to make them interested in you”, the take-away message being show a genuine interest in other people and their blogs.

And since it is Christmas. He also used the Christmas card analogy of when people receive a Christmas card they are usually quick to send a Christmas card back to that person. It is the rule of giving and receiving.

So remember, you must show interest and provide value first.

This is what I plan to do:

1. I will write some articles on traffic generation and create some videos to post on my blog.
2. I will visit my list of related blogs and engage in meaningful conversations that provides support or add value.
3. I will then post back on my blog to report the results of my traffic generation techniques and ask others for hints and tips on the subject.
    

Alex also talked about using twitter for Internet marketing however, this is a long post as it is so I think I might address twitter in another post soon.

Stay tuned for that,

Ryan
