Alex’s $1,000 challenge
I’ve been hit by the dreaded cold this weekend, which has put me back a few days as I have been so washed out. I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to post or visit other blogs, so it’s time to start catching up now.
However, before the cold really hit me I managed to listen to Alex’s 4th module on Social Media Money and there was some great information as ever on that session.
He’s set us a challenge to see who can drive the most traffic to their blog.
Now I know that there are lots of the other students who are much further on than I am in terms of being set up, having a bigger readership and having lots of other ways of driving traffic to their blogs.
But am I worried by this? No!
Each one of us is different, thank goodness!
We each have a different way of doing things and those of us who are further behind needn’t worry as long as we keep on going.
Maybe I’m a tortoise at the moment rather than a hare, but I know I will get there and that is the most important thing to me in the end.
So how am I getting traffic to my blog?
Well one of the things I have done is put a link to my blog in all the Christmas letters I have sent out to my family and friends.
I’ve been telling people at work what I am doing.
But until I finally get my ppp up and running (and thanks to everyone who is giving me a hand with that) I haven’t got the free report to give them.
So I’m going to concentrate on getting that sorted out and then I’ll work on generating traffic. I’ll let you know what I’m doing when I really get going.
In the meantime I’ll keep going with visiting blogs, learning from others and preparing for Christmas.
I’ll update you soon!
I don’t have an E-book either. I am still getting caught up with everything. Just wanted to say visit. I added you to my bloglist. Please do the same.

Hi Peggy
There are lots of us in the early stages of this journey but I’m sure we’ll all get to where we want to be eventually.
I’ve added you to my blogroll so I’ll drop over to see you every so often.
Hi Hilliary, thanks for your message on my blog. Sorry to hear you have been sick. . I’ve been having major issues as well (last week it my computer – my hard drive died) anwyays. Great idea adding your web address to your Christmas cards 🙂 I think I’ve missed the boat with that one! Thanks for adding me to your blog roll by the way! So how’s your profit pulling platform going? have you managed to get it up now?

Hi Derrick
Thanks for your kind comments. I’ll hopefully get my ppp up and running soon. I confirmed with Alex tonight that he thought we should have it on a separate domain and I’m just waiting for the hosting to come up on that.
As for the comment attachment, I found it at http://ianandbeckycarteronline.com/?p=29 the link for commentluv is in the sidebar – and it’s free.

Hey thanks for that! just realised you also have two other bits I’m trying to get on my site as well – the shortened post thingy that alex was talking about and the bit that tells you how many words and how long it would take to read.. is that part of your theme, or you got that as an add on?
thanks again!

Hi Hilary,
How are you feeling now? I’ve also got the cold that’s going round – perhaps it’s something to do with being in the UK and having this miserable weather! Like you, I also haven’t caught up yet – I’ve spent practically the last 3 days in bed (yes, Xmas Day & Boxing Day!) so my original plans have been thwarted. Hoping to get back to it all soon. I haven’t done my PPP yet, that’s going to be my next thing, so I’ll probably be back asking for help shortly!
Take care, get well soon!

Hi Nikki
I really empathise with you as it is so frustrating to be laid low when all you want to do is to get on.
It’s a frosty but sunny morning in East Anglia so we’re hoping to go to the coast to blow away the colds and the cobwebs before visiting my in-laws.
Then I’m helping my daughter to make her first posh dress for a party next weekend, have piles of ironing to do etc etc, so my internet time is somehwat limited. Never mind, we’ll get there at our own pace.
Mark thanks for your video just been checking out your other posts too, which have some really ehlpful information as ever. Thank you, I’ll really try to catch up soon!
Hilary
