Hi Everyone,

I haven’t been very active online lately because I’ve been very busy moving! I still have tons to unpack and organize, but I’m getting there. I couldn’t believe how much stuff I actually had! I guess after 17 years in the same place it all accumulates. But still, I really didn’t know I had room to fit all of that STUFF! There’s so much to do, I still haven’t changed my address (not enough time in the day as usual!.

Anyway, I have some really great stuff I’ll be putting up on my blog in the next few days. I’m really excited because I have so much to share with you, and not being able to be online much lately it’s all I’ve been thinking about!

Here are some hints as to what is coming – Great Social Media info, a really awesome How-To eBook, some great training sites and social sites, traffic tips and so much more!

So, check back soon!

Hi Everyone,

I downloaded Social Media Daily a while back, and finally had a chance to read over all of the information last night. Michele McPhearson has done a great job of putting together a daily social media plan designed to get traffic to your site.
She also gives a lot of great advice!

I am going to start implementing her daily checklist. This is something that will be very helpful to all of us!

Take care,

Hi Everyone,

I have been extra busy the last few days working on getting traffic to my site. Now that the holidays and my grandson’s birthday are over I’ll have much more time available!

Here are some things I’m doing to get some traffic to my blog:

Technorati Favorites Blog Exchange

- I went to Jack Humphreys blog and participated in the Technorati Favorites Blog Exchange. What you need to do is favorite Jack Humphreys blog on Technorati, then leave him a comment with your URL and your Technorati user name and he’ll favorite you back! You can also favorite everyone who left him comments with their information.

I’ve heard that this is working well for some of Alex Jeffreys other students, so I finally got a chance to try it out. I will be going back to Jack’s blog today to favorite everyone who left their info in their comments. I think this one is a really great idea and could work well for getting traffic.

Social Bookmarking

- I visited J.T.Martin’s blog and saw that he had a great idea for Alex’s Students to start utilizing social bookmarking when visiting each others blogs!When you go to a fellow student’s blog and read a post take a few extra minutes to bookmark their post. This is something that will be helpful to all of us!

After reading J.T.’s post I signed up for a free account atOnlyWire. You will need to create an account with each social bookmarking site listed, which will take a little time, but it’s worth it in the long run. With Onlywire you will be submitting to 20+ social bookmarking sites all at once which will save you a lot of time. OnlyWire has a Wordpress plugin you can use, or an html script you can paste into your site to to add the “bookmark and share” button.

Then, of course, you can visit some of the other student’s sights and bookmark their posts!

Other Social Bookmarking Sites

I also created an account at Digg, which is very popular.
Reddit is another good site to sign up with.

I’ll be creating a Squidoo lens tonight!

Have a great day!

Hi Everyone,

Here is a free plugin I came across a few days ago and wanted to share the info with you. It’s called Tweet My Blog. This powerful plugin works for you in 3 different ways:

- Every time you post to your blog you will automatically “ping” your Twitter account, and since your Twitter account will automatically contain a link back to your blog post you could end up driving a huge amount of traffic to your blog.

- You will also receive a blog “widget” that will automatically show your recent Twitter posts.

- The Twitter “pings” and the blog “widget” both contain a link back to Tweet My Blog that contains your affiliate link. So you will also make money as an affiliate.

The plugin is easy to install, and the directions are very good. This is a great way to start generating more traffic to your blog. And, remember, it’s FREE!

Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,

I am really excited to be starting Module 2 of Alex Jeffreys coaching tonight! So far I’ve been very happy with what Alex has been teaching us, and I know tonight’s coaching session will be just as great as the first session.

All of the other students are very nice and everyone is so willing to help each other. It feels good to be able to give support and to receive support from everyone who is sharing this journey to success!

I’m really looking forward to learning how to build a list. List building is one of the areas that I’ve had a very hard time with. I have no doubt that I will learn how though, Alex is THAT good.

So, keep following us while we learn!

Take Care,

Lori James
