Everyone working online knows how important it is to start building an email list and having an opt-in form available for people to subscribe to our lists.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, I see so many blog owners using the wrong method of applying their opt-in forms to their blogs. One of my pet hates is getting to blog, start reading the content and then 60 seconds later up comes a pop up that covers the screen and stops me reading.

Now I know that it’s their blog and they can apply what they want to it. But isn’t the point of a blog to allow people to read our content?

So why would we want to interrupt our visitors when they’re reading?

I don’t like pop ups on a blog or those ones that slide up from the bottom and I know I’m not alone in this. Personally if I get to a blog, start reading the content and a pop up then stops me reading I’m going to leave the blog altogether, unless those few lines that I’ve read have really grabbed my attention.

There are other ways of adding an opt-in form to our blogs. We can place them in our side bars, as I have done over on the right of the blog. Or we can add them to our blog posts, as I have also done.

I was recently asked how I added the opt-in forms to my blog posts so to answer the question I created a video showing people how it’s done

Don’t worry, we don’t have to set this up for every post as we set it up once and it’s automatically added to every post on your blog, both new and old

Watch the video below and see if this method suits you better.

To download the plugin mentioned in the video visit:

Once you’ve set it up it’s time to generate traffic to your blogs in order for people to subscribe to your list.

Which brings me onto my next point:

Are you really happy with the traffic your receive to your blog? What if I told you that there’s a Brand New FREE video available that can show you how to Triple Your Blog Traffic and it’s available from beneath this post, or over on the right of the screen, with instant access so you can get started straight away

How cool is that?

As long as you take action and apply everything then it’s a win win

I really hope that you’ve found this post helpful and if you have please do me a favour and help me spread the word by using the buttons below to tell your friends and followers.

As you know I love to read and reply to your comments so please leave me one below and tell whether you found this post and video helpful.

Out of curiosity can you also share your views on using pop ups on blogs, I’m interested to see how many people feel the same way as I do.

Until next time: View, Enjoy and then Apply 

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!

Third attempt: Take a look through the settings and see how to alter screen speed, ha ha found it Performance: Disable display acceleration during capture. So off I went again creating my first Power Point video, I got to the end of the second slide and stopped to check my work. Sheeesh where’s my voice gone?? Delete it and start again!

Fourth attempt: Check settings for audio, errrr record from CD Player? Ok, select my headset from the list and get recording again. So I then recorded the first 2 slides and checked the results on Camtasia. Animations and voice working together as one, rinky dinky doo lets get on with the rest of the slides.

I then recorded each slide individually and checked it before moving onto the next one. During the process I found that I had to select my headset for the audio unit every time I wanted to record a new slide.

I finally got to the end slide and now just had to put them all together in Camtasia and enter the Transitions from one slide to the next. That was simple enough as Sally had shown us how to do that, so it was now time to save the video.

And now it’s time to show it to the world, so allow me to introduce my very first Power Point presentation: Learn With Sally, The Journey So Far

Oh and don’t forget you can now watch it full screen as it’s shot in HD

To get your hands on the first modules follow the link to Learn With Sally The Replays

As you know I love to read and reply to your comments so please tell me what you thought of the video and if you have any additional tips for me please feel free to leave them below.

What a busy Bank holiday weekend I’ve had. It’s a shame the calender on my phone doesn’t show Bank Holidays, wedding anniversaries and the day my daughter goes off on her first ever holiday without the parents

I said that I would put the Top Ten Traffic results on my blog today and after a very busy weekend I’ve finally managed it……. ye-ha

You see after receiving the entries for the video challenge I just had to put some of them to use, which meant more learning, applying, correcting, applying, correcting again arggg but I got there and am I pleased, you betcha I’m pleased, so much so you can have another ye-ha

As well as watching the videos from the challenge I’ve also had the pleasure of watching the ones from Learn With Sally. As this weeks module is about creating videos, I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and create a video of The Top Ten Traffic Sources for the period of the video challenge.

So without further ado, grab yourself a coffee and pull up a chair. Then watch the new video in HD, which means you can watch it full screen and not lose any quality

Lets see who’s in the square window today

Your shout!

As you know I love to read and reply to your comments.

So what did you think of the challenge?

Would you consider holding one yourself, or would you like me to hold another one with a larger time frame?

Don’t forget next week I’ll show you my Top Ten Traffic Sources, will you be in there?

Until next time… Popcorn!!

I’ve got an idea for a bit of a challenge and want to invite you all to take part….

The challenge is to make a video and post it on your blogs. It can be of anything you feel comfortable doing and if you’ve never created a video then this is your push to do so.

We’re all able to carry out certain tasks on our PC’s so why not record yourself doing one of them?

I’m no Spielberg but I have created a few videos and how I got started was by recording myself setting up an auto reply message on Outlook Express. It’s a simple video, which is displayed lower in the post, and it has been my most popular with over 2,900 views. It was created with free software so all it cost me was my time, so there’s no excuse!

Here’s a few ideas you could start with:

Cloaking affiliate links

Adding an image to a page or blog

Creating a payment button

Creating an Image

Creating an eBook cover

Creating a Hyperlink

Branding an eBook

How to create an ebook

An HTML lesson

Creating an auto reply message

Gmail tips

Twitter tips

Facebook tips

Adding something to your blogs

There are endless topics that you could cover but for now just pick one that you’re comfortable doing. Maybe something you do day in day out. Maybe you have a skill that some of us don’t, in which case show us it. You never know it could lead to another string in your bow.

By all means visit my YouTube Channel and get some ideas from the videos I’ve created. Maybe you think I made mistakes in them or could have explained something better, if so make the same videos and correct my mistakes. Don’t let your voice put you off, you can tell that I haven’t had any elocution lessons cor I even have to remember my T’s and H’s

The only rules are:

1. It must be suitable for everyone to watch.
2. It must be created from today onwards.

Please Note: I will check all videos and if any were created before today they will not be allowed in the challenge.

You have until Monday 22^nd August to create your video and submit your post details to me with the URL and a sentence or two about the post/video. I will then write a post on Tuesday 23^rd and I will link to every post that is taking part.

Now think about this: As I said we all have skills in different fields so this could highlight your skills to people that need them. Now imagine an additional income stream created from your skill. Never mind Fiverr this could link you to each other directly and solve any outsourcing problems. You never know we may even build our own little team of contacts.

If you’ve never done this before don’t worry. I’ve placed a video below showing you how to upload to YouTube and then how to place the videos on your blogs.

There is free software available for creating your videos:

CamStudio

Screen Cap Studio

Jing

I got started using Camstudio and it’s really easy to use as I detail in a video in a previous post: The software I use to create these videos

Ok as promised at the start of the post: I’m showing you my first ever video:

I didn’t do too bad……did I? So come on lets get filming, yeah? Any job you’re comfortable doing will be spot on, I promise you

Here’s how you upload them to YouTube and then onto your blogs, please excuse my coughs:

So are you up for the challenge?

Would your friends be up for it?

Will you help me get the word out about the challenge?

As an added bonus the following week, 30^th August, I’ll create another video showing everyone my top ten traffic sources for the period of the challenge. Meaning those that help me spread the word of the challenge have a very good chance of being mentioned, and linked to, on the 30^th as well.

Will you be in that top ten?

So what do you think, are you up for the challenge?

Until next time, shoot to thrill

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.

Facebook: Is ranked number 2 in the world, so we can see how popular that is. Again I thought this would be a huge time sucking magnet and avoided it like the plague.

YouTube: Is ranked at number 3 and I already had my account there but thanks to Sally, I now have it set up correctly so that Twitter and Facebook are now notified when I upload a new video.

Twitter: Has an Alexa ranking of 9 and always ranks well in my traffic sources. It takes a maximum of 30 minutes of my time each day to thank people for their ReTweets, mentions and to update my Twitter lists.

LinkedIn: Is ranked at 13 and is viewed as being more professional and used more for business than pleasure.

So after last weeks module I’ve been setting up new accounts, tweaking old ones and now have my blog comments automatically sent to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn so the content is always being updated and it all links back to my blog, bringing me fresh traffic.

To  set up your own Twitterfeed watch the video below and follow suit.

To get started simply visit Twitterfeed and sign up an account.

Then you can tap into all of that lovely free traffic

Full credit has to go to Sally Neill not only for showing me the error of my ways but also for showing me how to set up the Twitterfeed in the first place.

Time to ask a favour…… During this weeks webinar Sally announced that there’s a competition to see who can generate the most traffic to their blogs and as you know I do love a competition

So the favour I’m asking of you is to help get the word out about this post. Please use the tools available below to spread the word on the Social Media sites.

Why not go one better and link up on them as well, then we can share each others content and make the most of all that free traffic. You can either use the links above or hit the Follow Me tab on the right

As you know I love to read and reply to your comments so please tell me what you think:

Did the post help you in anyway?

Do you know of any other free traffic sources that can be automated?

Until next time, don’t be anti social….

I’m really excited today as I’ve just purchased Camtasia Studio and have been checking it out. I’ve previously created my videos using CamStudio Pro, which I thought was ok for the price but now that I’ve tried Camtasia I’m kinda blown away.

Having received an email from one of my readers, asking how I’d set my blog up with automated emails to thank people for commenting, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone.

So today I’ve created a video showing everyone exactly how I’ve set the emails up, which I’ve placed below.

If you’ve ever created videos you’ll know that you get those eerrr ummm moments that sound terrible when you play the videos back and those delays when the screen change seems to take forever. Well I’m still having some of those er um moments and the screen change delays are part and parcel I think. Normally if I have to many I would stop the video and start all over again getting a little more worked up with each new attempt.

Not any more!

Before trying to create this video I had a quick look around the Camtasia studio and had a look at how to edit, which was easy as there’s a video demonstration

So off I went to create the video. I opened up the recorder, set the screen size and hit record. Up came a little box saying to hit F10 when done and then a counter, 3 2 1 and I was recording.

I created the video in one take and when the screen seemed to take forever to change I smiled and thought of the editing facility. I still had a few er um moments but I’m working on those

Another feature of this software is the ability to blur part of the screen. Normally I’d have to remove email addresses etc or work the screen size around what I’m comfortable showing in public. Not any more. As you’ll see in the video I’m now able to blur those areas, however on a moving screen this was a little testing but I think I’ve cracked it. Let me know what you think.

Oh yeah the content of the video, ha ha

Setting up automated emails so as to thank people for commenting on our blogs.

I actually use two plugins for this:

WordPress Thread Comment: Places my reply in a box beneath the comment I’m replying to and sends the commenter an email containing my reply, allowing them to continue the conversation

Thank Me Later: Sends out an automated email thanking people for commenting on my blog. This is a really cool plugin as you can include all of your links and promotions.

They’re simple to install and set up as I demonstrate in the video below.

During the video I mentioned that by using WordPress Thread Comment you may find that you have 2 Gravatars displayed when replying to comments. I have previously created a video showing people how to remove the 2^nd image, so if you’re affected by this issue please watch How to add a Gravatar to your WordPress Blog

If you’re interested in creating your own videos and can’t afford Camtasia then there’s a free option available at ScreenCapStudio.com which is really good for building your confidence and getting you started.

As you know I love to read your comments so please let me know what you thought of my first video using Camtasia and whether it helped you out with setting up the automated emails.

Oh and please use the buttons below to spread the word of this post to your Friends and Followers, thanks.

Until next time, 

I’ve had a few emails from my readers asking how I add the following text to the comment section of my WordPress Blog:

Until next time, take care

Hello all, thanks for stopping by.

It seems ages since I last wrote a blog post but as my regular readers know the majority of my time is being spent with my mother, who has recently being diagnosed with vascular dementia. As she is both deaf and partially sighted she needs a family member with her most of the time to help keep her calm and try to explain things to her, as well as helping the staff and doctors with their communications.

Although I haven’t been posting to my blog, or blog hopping, as much as I would have liked I have been working behind the scenes on other aspects of my business and getting the ball rolling on the plans I have for this year, (better late than never): I’ve been updating my eBay store, adding new products and creating Thank You pages with back end sales on offer, most of which are now my products

If you’re an eBay seller you’re probably thinking “Thank You Pages for a physical product? I thought the download days had gone!” and you’d be right. eBay no longer allow the sale of downloadable goods, but this is where we have to think outside the box. I’ll write a detailed post on how I do this in the near future as it could help you bring in an extra source of income.

I’ve also purchased Master Resale Rights to a collection of squeeze pages, as they fit in with this years plans, and have uploaded them to their very own domain: Squeeze Page Templates

I’ve also added a new page to my blog inviting other bloggers to guest post, which I think would be helpful to both myself, due to my lack of time, and the blogger as it can increase their traffic as well as highlight their knowledge and writing skills. If you’re interested in submitting a guest post please follow the link above. There aren’t any set rules as such but I do have a few guidelines in place and if you stick to them then your post could be published very soon

Although I haven’t been blog hopping as much as I would have liked, I have done some and I have found two posts and a video (thanks Randy) that I simply have to pass on to you as I found them really helpful and I know that if they help me they’ll help others like me. The posts are in relation to Article Marketing, well more article writing than marketing, but extremely helpful for your Article Marketing campaigns.
One is by Eamon Diamond entitled Duplicate Content and the other is a guest post by Fran Aslam on Zahid Yakoob’s blog entitled Article writing – Effective Strategies to Overcome Writers Block If you’re struggling to write articles in any way then I highly recommend that you check the posts out.

The video I have to mention is aimed at bloggers that use Twitter and/or Facebook. It was created by Sally Neill and is only 8 minutes long, so grab a coffee, or a Guinness Bill and pop over to Sally’s Video Entitled Increase Blog Traffic Add Your Blog Comments Feed To Facebook + Twitter and if you enjoy the posts and video be sure to leave a comment on them, please.

As we know, a very large part of Internet Marketing is generating traffic to our sites and the three links above can help you improve your traffic so please do yourself a favour and take time out to visit them, the rewards are endless and all yours

I will start my blog hopping again very soon and will start by returning visits to those people that have left comments for me. I appreciate all the comments being left and will make my way through them in the near future. If you would like to be amongst the first blogs I visit then please leave your comment below.

Maybe you have found some excellent posts that you would like to tell others about, if so please leave a comment and do so, just miss off the http://www. and you’ll avoid the spam folder, but I’ll keep an eye on that just in case

Oh…… if you use twitter please hit the Tweet button

Until next time, keep smiling
