Hey I decided to make a video to show how in the world I figured out how to get traffic for free and fast to your website or blog without paying anything.

To save time I signed up to Youtube and created my account. I included everything necessary to upload videos and even created my own channel.

Then I downloaded a free 30 day trial of Camtasia Studio 6 to make my free videos with. I made my first video and uploaded it to Youtube and watched the results.

Man, last night was awesome!  We listened in on four solid hours with Alex Jeffreys and I have five full pages of notes to go through.  Module 6 is where we are at the moment and Alex called it “Triple Threat Affiliate.”  This apparently is the name Andrew Fox gave Alex after he showed him how he doubled his income without growing his list by using unique tactics in his email marketing campaign.

As I get into my fourth month of building my online business with the help of my mentor Alex Jeffreys, I decided to write a post about the man who has been the rock of my business.

First of all I need to say that I have been online for over five years and have made a little money here and there but I had no direction and I had no “real” goals.

I finally figured out that most of the successful marketers online had some sort of training or knew the right people so I decided I needed a mentor and so I chose Alex Jeffreys as my mentor.

Due to a question about RSS Feeds I decided to write a quick post about it.  When you arrive on any particular blog and you like the content that it contains, you may want to get updates about that blog without having to visit it all the time to see if new content was added.

There are a multitude of RSS readers out there and as far as I know, all you have to do it copy and paste the rss feed page url into your reader.  If you click my orange subscribe button on this page you will see my rss feeds page.  Copy and paste the url of the feed page in your rss feeder and presto, you will get all new content from now on automatically.

If you want to know how to get people to come back to your blog, then let me suggest to you that you begin to interact with the people who leave comments on your blog.  Many people go and leave comments on blogs just to promote their products and get backlinks to their own website.

Remember guys, Alex Jeffreys warned to “Not Pimp Your Sh-t!”  People who read your comments can tell if you are trying to sell to them or not so just don’t do it.  If you are offering real value when commenting on other people’s blogs it will pay off over time.

As I strive to make my online business a success, I find that the tools you use will help determine that success.  Many people online use a variety of services for their business and as I come across successful websites, I take the time to see what tools and services they use so that I can eventually duplicate their success.

Below you will find essential tools that I use to create products for my online business.  You may use some of the same tools or you may have something else that works better.  I am always open to new suggestions so your comments will be appreciated.

If you are anything like me, then during your trek to earn money online you have no doubt amassed a collection of private label rights or master resell rights products on your hard drive.  The question I have for you is, “Did you buy them to resell or did you buy them to use?” 

For me it was to resell but just like many of you, I never got around to selling much of anything let alone even using the products I purchased.  As I finally take a serious look at my online business and how I am running it, I have realized that I have a massive amount of wealth on my hard drive.

As we go through this coaching with Alex Jeffreys, I can’t help but wonder how in the world am I going so fast through this process.  I am completely grateful to Alex for his coaching and motivation to help me succeed in all of the places where I failed before.

Alex has asked his students to make a YouTube video telling people what they have learned and  to make it interesting he is offering an incentive to make the video.  So I downloaded the free trial of Camtasia 6 which I am going to purchase anyways, and captured myself doing a PowerPoint presentation.

I have noticed that when I focus on writing content for my blog, that is all i end up with.  What good is the content if there are no visitors to read them and comment on them.  Isn’t that why we started a blog for anyways?

I have also seen a sharp drop in visits to my blog when I stop visiting and commenting on other peoples blogs.  So I have decided that I need to do two very important things in order to make my own blog effective and social.

• Provide Valuable Content

As I try to generate more traffic to my blog, I find that there are really a ton of different ways to do this.  On this very day as I was trying to install some necessary widgets on my sidebar, I had an idea.  What if there was a way to have my blog posts in a widget that someone could then put on their website?

As I searched in Google, I came across Widgetbox.com.  In about half an hour I came up with this little widget that shows my most recent posts and has links directly to the post embedded in the widget.  Also I have a logo at the top that links to my blog.
