I’ve Added Thank Me Later Plugin To My Blog

I noticed that when I comment on some blogs I sometimes get an email message a few days later thanking me for it. I thought this was a really nice touch so started to investigate how I could do it too. According to several internet marketers I asked, the best WordPress plugin for this is the Thank Me Later Plugin.

The plugin is completely free from the WordPress Plugin Directory and works on WordPress versions 3.1 or higher. So, I thought I would give it a go. After all, what have I got to lose? It’s another chance to keep my name out there.

Setting My Goals For Making Money Online In 2012

I know that a lot of internet marketers have already got their goals for 2012 all mapped out already. December seems to have crept up on me this year and I have to confess that I have only just got to thinking about setting goals for making money online in 2012.

What about you? Have you set yours yet? It’s not too late.

I’m sure you have heard the expression attributed to Benjamin Franklin:

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”

It’s so true. Another way of looking at is if you don’t know where you are going how are you going to get there?

When I first started online I had no clear picture of where I was going. I just sort of bumbled along trying this and trying that not really getting anywhere fast.

Recycle Your Old Blog Posts If Get Stuck For An Idea

making money on the internet Reading about Jane Fonda’s new workout DVD made me think about how you can recycle your old blog posts. Just as Jane has given a new twist to her original best selling exercise videos you can give a new twist to your old blog posts.

By the way this post came about from one of My 5 Top Tips For Getting Ideas For Blog Posts which I wrote a post about not long ago.

I am talking here about recycling your old blog posts by re-posting them on your blog. There are other ways of recycling old blog posts by posting them elsewhere but that will have to be a subject for another blog post.

How to Use Pretty Link Plugin To Track Your Affiliate Links

I installed the Free WordPress Pretty Link Plugin on Marc’s Milburn’s advice while ago when I revamped my blog but have to confess I had forgotten all about it until I saw it mentioned recently. ( Yes, I know, it’s those silver surfer grey cells! ).

Pretty Link is a URL shortener and tracker but with a difference.

With Pretty Link you can use your own domain to shorten the URL. Look at these links and you will see what I mean.

How To Get Your Download Page Banners To Open In A New Window

I was testing out my squeeze page funnel to make sure it all worked OK before I book a solo ad and I noticed that one of the affiliate banners I have on my download page for my Free Traffic Deluge report did not open in a new window.

Have you ever lost the page you were on after you click a banner that doesn’t open in a new window? I have many a time and it’s soooooooooooo annoying.

If you don’t notice that you have left the site you were on or forget to press the back button when you close the page you lose the page you were on where there were maybe other things you wanted to look at.

One if the things I read recently about SEO and getting traffic to my blog was that I should submit my blog to Technorati. They call it “claiming” your blog which you have to do with a claim code that looks like this 3JFEU6AJR6JY. Something I had completely overlooked until now.

Internet Marketing Guru Secrets DVDs Launched At Last!

It has taken an age but I have at long last launched the UK Internet Marketing Guru Secrets DVDs. The DVDs are from a UK Internet Marketing Workshop where some of the UK’s top internet marketing gurus revealed their secrets of making money on the internet.

I am ashamed to say that I started this project a couple of years ago when I was doing Nick Jame’s Cracking the Code Course. Then, I got sidetracked and this project took a bit of a backseat.

But looking back, during that time, I learned a ton of new stuff and got to know some very savvy internet marketers which I hope will all help me to make this project successful. So the time was not wasted.
