It’s been a while, mainly due to the fact I have something to look forward to in the new year, the removal of my wisdom teeth…

I am not sure how this is going to affect me as more often than not I don’t feel too wise anyway!

At least the pain will go.

So what have I been up to in the mean time?

I have integrated a customer registration form into my one time offer, this will allow me to follow up with customers with a different autoresponder sequence – a list of buyers is GOLD!  People that don’t purchase the oto will be followed up with emails written by the one and only Frank Kern (thanks to my Mass Control Monthly membership )

More planning – remember, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

My short term goals to achieve are:

• Drive 100 targeted visitors a day to my blog.
• Increase the page rank of my blog from PR1 to PR2.
• Post to my blog at least twice a week with one post targeted to a specific key phrase.
• Add the follow up series of emails, mentioned above, to my autoresponder.
• Start promoting the hell outta my squeeze page.
• Cover my Aweber cost twice over (already got a check for $50.16 this month)

My longer term goals are:

• Own a responsive 3000 strong mailing list in 90 days.
• Have an autopilot traffic stream in place.
• Create my own product.
• Quit my J.O.B

What are your goals and plans for the future?

And now on to my tip of the day…

In response to Theresa’s tip contest.

How to keep on top of being on top.

There are two important tools I use for this, both from Google.

The first is Google alerts, I have subscribed to my own name for obvious reasons but also any keywords or key phrases that are relevant to my blog and landing pages.  Google emails you an update each time a new web page is indexed that matches your alert.  You can also setup blog alerts using the Google blog search and add these to your alerts in exactly the same way.

The second tool is Google reader, I use this to read all of the rss feeds of all of the blogs I just so happen to be subscribed to, I have organised the feeds in to many different folders, such as Alex Jeffrey’s student blogs, do-follow blogs, blogs with CommentLuv installed, plus others.  You are then able to click on any folder, and in list view, can easily see the blog post titles and view anything that interests you or catches your eye.  (Make a note of the titles that grab your attention and start a swipe file).

Try them out…

You may wonder how you ever lived without them.

Awebber is an autoresponder service that gives you an automated way of following up with prospects and customers who request it.

Autoresponders are used by many online companies to pre sell and promote products to people who are interested. It is a well known fact that most people won’t buy something from a website on their first visit, so by using Awebber you can ensure that the site is promoted to help you make that sale.

What makes Awebber the best autoresponder service to use?

The number one reason I personally use Awebber is the fact that they have the best delivery rates in the industry.

If your messages aren’t getting through to your prospects then you aren’t ever going to make that sale.

Here are just some of the features of Awebber
