One Step Back, Two Steps Forward and The Journey Continues

bubble man with screenHi all, thanks for stopping by.

Since getting over my blog issues, which I detailed in my last post, I’ve been busy catching up with my Learn With Sally coaching, which had been going really well until the blog issues kicked in :( Obviously those issues took priority as without a blog there’s not much point in trying to apply more to it ;)

Anyway I’m now getting back on track and have been catching up with the modules. I now had to create a Power Point Presentation so I thought; Ok I’ll create one about the Learn With Sally coaching and my journey so far.

Although I’ve created many videos before I’ve never created one with Power Point and I don’t mind admitting that it caused some frustration.

During the first recording the animations came in really slow and seemed to sit in mid flight for what seemed an age whilst I was talking about the relevant point. I stopped recording after the first slide and went to check my work: Rubbish, delete it and start again!

Second attempt: Close all other programs and try again. Same issues with the same results, animations sitting mid screen whilst I’m talking about them. Delete it and start again!

Learn With SallyHi all, thanks for stopping by….

I’ve just completed the second module of our Learn With Sally coaching and I have to be honest and say that this coaching, although only at week 3, has already highlighted some errors that I have been making online.

The module was Traffic Foundations and setting up accounts on Social Media sites. Now I don’t mind admitting that other than Twitter and more recently Google Plus I haven’t tapped into them at all.

My thinking was that they would be a time magnet and I wouldn’t be able to get anything done in my already busy schedule. So I just left them to those that use them and carried on regardless.

What a foolish mistake that was because nearly all of them can be automated.

We are all aware of Alexa Ranking so let me pass on some info that Sally gave us this week.

Google Plus: The brand new Google social media network, that is Google’s attempt at taking on Facebook, gained 10 million users in just 16 days. Any google site will automatically rank as number 1 so the ranking for Google Plus can be a little misleading but 10 million users in just 16 days tells us all we need to know about its popularity, especially when we bear in mind that it is currently invite only.
