As I thought I spent Christmas out of internet contact. At one point I had to drive 3 miles down the road and park in a lay-bay just to get reception on my wireless broadband to pick up my email.  Now I’m back but I’ve blown my chances in the competition. 
I can’t get my squeeze page to work.  When I enter my details and click the “send” button I just get garbage.  The good thing is the name and email is saved and the autoresponder sends out my first email.  So what I’ve done is put a link to the download page in the email.  Now at least I can start my adwords campaign and get some traffic coming in while I sort the problem out.

Happy New Year to you all I hope your year is going to be as exciting as mine is going to be!

Alex has set us a challenge for homework.  We have to drive as much traffic as possible to our blogs by January 1^st 2009.  The prize for the person with the most traffic judged by google analytics wins £1,000 !

That was Friday and we are now on day three. Luckily I had just got my blog up and running, having had to transfer it from another domain.  The only thing I know about driving traffic to your site is a very scanty knowledge of Google Adwords, so this is where I’ve started. So far on day three I’ve had 9 visits and 1 user, so I guess they’re all my visits.

I must do a plan as with Christmas coming up and It will be another five days lost through the holiday.  I find it very difficult drawing up a plan for something I know nothing about.

As I mentioned in my previous post I’m about four weeks into Alex Jeffery’s Coaching programme.  Wow! what a find this was. 

The reason I signed up was Alex’s massive enthusiasm.  Last night’s conference call was 2 hours on social marketing and community building.  I have certainly changed my views on this and could even become a convert.  I’ll be writing a lot more on this later as it’s proving to be very exciting but for now I’m off to do my home work!

Three months since my last post.  What’s been happening?  Well I’ve been really busy, I’ve been:-

finishing Daniel Wagner’s internet home study;

learning google adwords;

and I’m about four weeks into Alex Jeffery’s coaching programme.

More on these later but for now the main thing that’s been taking up my time is I’ve been going to to the gym! No ordinary Gym, this one is called “educogym“.  First they weigh and measure you and then you’re put on a diet and numerous supplements.  You then do a weight training programme for twenty minutes everyday for twelve days. After this session I had lost 14.5 pounds of fat and gained 0.5 pounds of muscle.  I continued on a different regime for a further two months and lost a further 8 pounds.

The difference to how you feel is far more dramatic than the weight loss.I feel years younger and the joint pain I was getting has gone.  When my sixpack is complete I might put the before and after photos up.
