Well thankfully the distraction of Christmas is out of the way again for another year, and it´s time to get cracking again.
Just before Christmas we had our fourth webcast in which we were taught about traffic generation. during the webcast Alex told us all that in a two week period we had to try and drive as much new traffic to our blogs as we could, and the person with the most traffic would win $1000 !
I have, in this time spent countless hours posting to other blogs ( Alex refers to it as oilrig hopping ) I have also gotten my blog listed on other web directories. The most enjoyable thing though, that I´ve been doing is making videos.
With the many programmes I have on my pc, I am hoping that a few of the videos I´ve made will cut the mustard. It is quite daunting when you look at the competition and quality of the work that your up against.
I don´t know how many hours the rest of the students are putting in to their respective blogs, but my daughter bought me a Christmas present this year that really made me laugh. As she handed me the parcel she told me it was a set of cutlery that would suit my present needs.
As I opened my present I was greeted to the sight of a beautiful silver fork and knife combined into one
She said that as I spent nearly every waking minute glued to my computer at least now I don´t have to put my mouse down to eat, don´t you just love your own kids =o)
With regards to the traffic I am managing to generate, at the moment it´s pretty low, but I hope that when the festive season comes to an end and things get back to normality the work I´ve put in will start to show some benefits.
Well It´s that time of the week again, our fourth webcast with Alex Jeffreys is tonight and I´m just making last minute preparations for the event. I have just been out and bought another seven reams of white paper, 50 assorted pens and pencils, I just hope this will be enough to cover all the notes I will be taking !
The progress that the students are making is nothing short of remarkable. It´s fabulous to see all the posts and comments that are flying between students who are trying so hard to give help and support to their fellow bloggers.
If tonights webcast is anything like the previous three, we are in for a great night !
