Phase 2 – Figure Out a Product
Phase 1, My Blog, is finished. I thought creating the blog was very straight forward and easy. This is probably because I had done most of tasks before. I am currently reading Bloggers Roadmap looking for ways to improve my blog. I have already found a couple of things one of which I have implemented.…
Phase 1 Wrap Up
I have finished Phase 1 of Partnership to Success (building the foundation). Overall, I would say that the training and videos are very well done. I thought the tasks during the 8 weeks for Phase 1 could have been accomplished easily in 6 weeks by anyone. I finished it in 4 weeks because I had done…
Week 8 – List Building
Week 8 is the end of Partnership to Success Phase 1. Phase 1 was all about getting my blog all set up. I will freely admit I am glad Phase 1 is ending. I think my blog is acceptable, not great but better than some I have seen. I also have to admit that I…
Week 7 – Essential Techniques
Week 7 is about getting my blog ready for the world. The first part of this is to add “legal stuff” to the blog. Guess what? There is a plugin for the legal pages. The plugin is WP InstaLegalPages. It contains the following nine legal pages. Affiliate Disclosure Amazon Affiliate Disclaimer (multiple countries available) Anti-Spam…
Week 6 – Monetizing the Blog
I just finished week 6 about monetizing the blog. Monetizing my blog certainly sounded exciting but this week was very dull. You might remember that last week I registered, updated in my case, at Google Adsense. You have to wait for Google to accept your application. I did get an acceptance after several days. First,…
Week 5 – Networking
There was almost nothing new this week from a learning prospective. Download a widget, install a widget, activate and set up the widget. I have done this several times before. So what was important this week is the use of the new widget. The widget is Widlink. This is not a widget anyone can find by searching…
Week 4 – Social Media
This week is about adding social media links to the blog and a couple of clean up tasks. I already had Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin accounts so there wasn’t really anything for me to do from the first video. I did think that I could use Skype as well but not so. I spent about…
Week 3 – Opt In Form
This week is about adding an opt in form to my blog. Unfortunately, this means I need to join Aweber. I say unfortunately because I already subscribe to TrafficWave. I don’t think I really need 2 autoresonders. I have 2 paid lead campaigns running with TrafficWave that I would have to throw away if I…
Week 2 – Reflections
Before I plunge into week 3, I thought I would pause and share my thoughts about the Partnership to Success program. With two weeks under my belt, I am impressed. The videos are very well done. Occasionally, the screens on the videos don’t match what I see. That is a because of a difference in…
Week 2 – Blog Appearance
This week is about improving the appearance of the blog. Boy does it need it. The first thing needed was a product called OptimizePress. This is like a super theme or widget, it can be either. I guess you use it as a widget if you already have a theme you like. I purchased the…
