Hello!
I have been at my mothers again, that is why you haven’t heard much from me. The thing about my family is that they don’t really understand about internet marketing, and they don’t understand that it’s important for me to work! They do not see “playing on the computer” as work, which makes it difficult to do anything while I am there. I tend to get accused of being unsociable!
Back to traffic - the competition I spoke about in December closed and I am delighted to say that Jim Gallgher of www.kotobot.com won the prize with a huge amount of traffic. Well done Jim!
You may well notice that many of the tips I have given here are ones that Jim has suggested, what a fantastic reward for being so helpful to so many people.
Last week we had a bonus module on the coaching course by Alex Jeffreys. It was given by the wonderful Maria Andros who is also known as the Queen of Video. She is great and gave huge amounts of information and tips on video marketing. The new competition is about making a video, there will be two prizes of $1,500 dollars each. Maria Andros will help Alex judge the videos, so it’s very exciting. I am also pleased that Maria recommends one of the products that I also use, Traffic Geyserwhich is a real plus for spreading out traffic all over the internet - over forty different sites including RSS feeds and podcasts.
I am about half way through catching up with module five on the coaching programme, so I will be writing more about this tomorrow when I finish it. It is high calibre stuff, very interesting and as always Alex manages to put things over in a really easy to understand way.
So, I will be back again tomorrow to give more of the outstanding information that is provided. Until then,
Best wishes,
Ruth

Hello,
There is something that is bugging me, I have to say. You know when people say: “Oh I am at page one of Google” why do they never say what they put in? I can be page one of google if I put in Ruth Stewart Marketing, but I think it’s not likely that many people will put that into Google. If I put in list building Alex Jeffreys then I am not on page one - position one is www.nicheweapons.com, and fellow student - congratulations Austin!
I guess my point is, so long as something of yours is on the internet, then you could be Google number one depending on how specific a title you put in.
Wouldn’t it be good if one of us could knock Tellman Knudson off the top spot when we put list building into Google? Now that would be a great achievement.
Back to videos, anyone serious about videos may like to take a look at www.videomarketingqueen.com this lady, Maria Andros is the top dollar for making videos, it might be good to go and have a look at hers.
Ok, now I need to get back to work, I will speak to you all again soon,
Best wishes,
Ruth

Hello there!
Hello!
I have been busy today making another video (what me? Obsessed? Noooooooooo!). I have started to write a little ebook with step by step pictures for…..well anyone really. I have downloaded a free trial of Sony Vegas Pro 8, which is a programme so I can put voice and music to the slides. It’s pretty expensive at £415 but we will see what has happened after the thirty day trial! It’s a good way to see if its worth it.
So maybe by the end of the evening I might have a video with voice, which will be good and an improvement. It depends on how this software goes, there are lots of buttons on it. Still I will give it a whirl. I need to wander round a few more blogs as well because I haven’t visited everyone yet.
So, still lots to do, as usual! Still I am trying to be productive. If I ever get a chance to have some quality time to myself it will be a good thing too - I am trying to sort my messes - as Raymond Aaron says - and now I have a desk to put my laptop on which is great. So things moving in the right direction.
I have to get a hang of the To Do List, and the Did List, I am trying to get better at them, but it’s not really become a habit yet.
Right, got to get off now and do some work,
Best wishes to you all!
Ruth

At last here they are! I really hope you enjoy them!
I knew nothing at all about videos but I sort of taught myself with the help of YouTube. If you want to know anything about them or how to do anything with videos I will do my best to help.
I have to go now and try and install some widgets! I’ll let you know how I get on.
Best wishes,
Ruth

Hello,
Well no videos on because I realized I had made a spelling mistake on the video - and it was only Alex Jeffreys name - and you know I offered to proofread for him! Sorry about that Alex!
Now it’s corrected the clip is up and I am happy to say I have done another one. It makes me laugh, the second one, because there is practically a fanfare when a picture of Alex comes up. I hope I can put them both up here, then you can see them, and perhaps let me know what you think, if you would.
I must say I downloaded some software called Snag-it which I would highly recommend. It’s really easy to use and at the moment they have a free 30 day trial. You don’t need to give them your credit card and then cancel it later (which can be a pain in the neck) you simply have it for the 30 days.
You can then use it to take *photos* of anything on your screen. So to get Alex picture, I went to his report Guru’s Dream, and then snagged his photo, cropped it a bit (Snagged-it has a cropping feature) and put it on the slide. Voila! One picture of the man on my video!
I can’t tell you how much good it will do having YouTube videos on the web just yet, but I will let you know. I can tell you though, that making videos is great fun.
Anyway, hopefully later I really will get the videos up on here!
Best wishes,
Ruth
