Synchronicity is a great thing isn’t it? Weird too! I’d been thinking about blog audio for a while now and thought a post was kind of overdue when, all of a sudden, some new options came to my attention.
Hmmm, thinks I – maybe a post showing the options is in order here…
Let’s take a step back for a minute and analyze how we find Keyword Phrases to target, optimize our content for, get ‘traffic’ which, if we’ve got it right, will equal sales – “YAY!” ( but is this the ONLY way?)
At the risk of flying into the face of all that’s holy me say NO!
I’m a great fan of Google Alerts. You type in your keyword phrase query and Google will send you an email about sites on the WWW that are relevant. A great way of finding ideas/news related to your market!
This came into my Inbox today! Blimey, I can promote myself on the telly!
You’ve been smart enough to get yourself a self-hosted Wordpress blog so don’t let yourself down when it comes to Wordpress security. Let’s be careful out there!
Are you really serious about protecting your Wordpress blog from a hack attack?
Not everybody wants to Tweet! Some of us, horror of horrors, actually think Facebook is a load of bollox, wastes time and is an excuse for avoiding work while AT work!
BUT, getting on top of Social Networking is a ‘must do’ – how to reconcile?
I’m a massive fan of Anthony Fernando ( well it’s Doctor Anthony actually!) of Market Samurai. He’s recently come up with a new training/explanatory video which is MEGA!
The most succinct explanation of how basic blog monetization works I’ve seen to date.
It’s a lonely old business working from home, you can become a bit of a recluse if you’re not careful. Being in touch with like-minded people around the world helps.
This video reminds me of the possibility and power of global friendships!
A nice Firefox add on has spurred me on to do something I’ve been meaning to look at for ages – adding HTML links to my Gmail signature. This lovely app. goes farther…
…I can add my Networking icons too! Happy days!
For some reason GMail’s default ’signature’ set up (via your Settings tab) does not accept HTML but WiseStamp sorts that for you (it’s free too!)
While text blogging, with some static images or photos, remains the most popular form of blogging today here’s a tip! Lot’s of people have Broadband these days.
So a video blog and/or audio blog ( using podcasts) might be your way forward.
I had to laugh the other day when I read that, when deciding if video or audio should be your chosen format ( I have a face for radio!), you should upload your photo to a ‘Hot Or Not?‘ type site.
Marketing your site with video is an absolute must, and something I’ll be covering in more tutorials in the future, but here’s an overview and an example.
This video took me 30 minutes to create and has already made sales for me!
The online application I used is free for videos of 30 seconds or less so try it out first – it’s addictive though and my sister is hooked on it and uses it constantly to create funky photo slideshows.

P.S. No, I won't share your info with anyone, ever! Both the puppy and I hate Spam with a vengeance!
