Well I’m really enjoying this, loads of familiar things but learning even more new things.

This week I’ve:…

• Added AdSense adverts, just waiting for them to be approved, but all looks well, ads are appearing.  Really important thing is not to click on your own ads.  Google pays you when someone clicks on an add, so clealy it would be fraud if you sat there clicking on your own links.
• The control panel on AdSense is really great, you can get rid of hose innapropriate add types with just a single click.
• Added links to my other sites, I’ve linked a couple of Beekeeping society websites that I look after.
• Added links to these posts, which is really easy, and a great way to send people to plaxces whre they can get even more information.

Week 2 came round quickly 

In week 2 I’ve changed the theme to Flexibility 3.  Loads of bells and whistes, but John’s starting us off easy, step by step.  We’ve put our own header image on the site and removed a couple of features that we’re not ready to use yet, unil they are configured.  We’ve now got to post, to add some content to the site.

John has a couple of plugins he recommends; dofollow and sharebar.  Dofollow helps those who leave messages on your blog to get their site crawled by the search engines.  Normally WordPress doesn’t let this happen.  Sharebar provides easy ways for your reader to spread the message aout your blog.  It’s that box to the left with the social networks showing.  Go on, click on one, and then you could be letting the world know that you are following this programme too.

Getting ready to hear the cash registers ringing John has shown us to sign up to Adsense.  Done that, just awaiting a reply from Google.

An now back to the posing whilst we await week 3.

Wow! I’ve just met John Thornhill and joined his Partnership to Success programme.  This is a years worth of coaching on the topic of Internet Marketing.  John’s being doing this for over 10 years since deciding fitting doors onto cars on the production line wasn’t for him.

The course consists of online videos, a whole heap of them each month delivered by email drips once per week.  There’s videos for the PC/Mac, iPad, iPod and iPhone.  Also included are the pdf text copy of the video.

John’s approach is a simple step by step, with everything explained and shown on the videos.  He’s also got a forum for questions and you can reach him by phone too.

Week 1 saw me get this website up and running, replacing a tired one that I’d had there for a few years.  For those who haven’t done this before he leas you by the hand to sign up with a hosting company he recommends, set up an email account, install wordpress, register with ClickBank and start writing articles on your blog.  John has also got us a special deal with graphics for the site, and he shows you how to order them up.
