Yesterday I had an opportunity to do a small joint venture with fellow marketer and Alex Jeffreys student Tim Owen. I hadn’t spoken to Tim during the coaching period up until yesterday but I am really glad we had the chance to get acquainted.

Before presenting an offer to his subscriber list, Tim likes to “warm them up” a little first by briefly introducing his JV partner to them via video and that is what I want to blog about here. (more…)

I have been putting off doing this video for weeks but with the competition deadline looming in about 24 hours from now I finally got my entry together and uploaded to Youtube. I don’t think the video is that great or has any chance of winning the $1,000 first prize Alex Jeffreys has offered for the best entry, but I wanted to blog about my experience in finally getting this video done, rather than getting it perfect.

As part of my continued efforts to drive visitors to DavidWalker.tv ahead of the Alex Jeffreys traffic competition closing on Friday, I am excited to report that one of my blog posts made the front page of Sphinn, a niche social bookmarking website! While my server didn’t melt from the influx of new visitors it goes to show how powerful using social bookmarking websites can be to drive both traffic and backlinks to your content. (more…)

When I wrote a post about how I was going to increase traffic to my blog a couple of weeks ago I did not consider one powerful method which could not only increase visitors, but also improve my search engine rankings as well. The method I failed to spot but am now just beginning to get into in a big way is article marketing. Better still, I am taking a “hands-off” approach to this aspect of my business and intend to outsource it completely! (more…)

Is it we are both young, good looking and on top of our game?

Of course, but the answer for the purposes of this blog post is we are both using video to brand and market ourselves online.

OK, so Maria Andros may be a famous video marketer watched by millions of people on Youtube everyday whereas I am an internet nobody with little more than a webcam and a dream, but hey, we all have to start somewhere. (more…)

Last night’s coaching webinar with Alex Jeffreys was all about driving targeted traffic to your blog. Traffic, or visitors as people who arrived at your website used to be referred to before the internet became trendy, is the lifeblood of any online business. If nobody visits your website then there is no interaction, no relationships are formed and ultimately no sales are made. Without visitors to read what you are putting out there, a blog may as well not exist. (more…)

When Perry Belcher, who has over 100,000 followers talks about Twitter, you listen. He argues you should treat Twitter and indeed other social media platforms as a party. Nobody goes to a party with the intention to sell to the other guests. If you did, then you would be thought of as an asshole. Unfortunately today, I became that asshole at the party

Not intentionally, of course. I have worked hard on building my Twitter following and try to put out a lot of good, relevant and useful content out there. (more…)

Just a quick post to round off what has been another busy week and I thought I’d showcase my brand new Twitter background! I have had a Twitter account for around 18 months or so but only started using it seriously since April this year. In that time, I have exploded my following from around 500 Twitter users to over 36,000 and thought it was about time I had a professional background to compliment my account. (more…)
