How To Keep Organized – 5 Tips

    One of the nightmares of the online digital world is the sheer volume of “stuff”. That stuff could be your own products that you’ve created. It might be PLR that you intend to rewrite and use. Maybe courses, Webinars or teleseminars you’ve attended. Reports, bonuses, and a plethora of freebies and giveaways. I’m sure there’s more!

    If you are diligent and highly methodical, as you download something you file it to its right place. If you’re less so, it gets dumped into an “I’ll get back to that later” folder and later never comes. Before you know it gigabytes have been swallowed by your lack of systematic administration.

    I’m no saint here: my drives (that’s plural) are full of stuff that I plan to do something with … if only I remembered that I had it before I downloaded it again, or can find it again! My drives are in dire need ofRead More »How To Keep Organized – 5 Tips

    WordPress, Cutline, Archives and Backup!

      There are time online when you are not just a marketer but you become a tech-head too. Yesterday I mucked up my blog.

      I had been using the Cutline theme by maestro Chris Pearson. It’s an older theme but I like it’s visual simplicity. I noticed in the Cutline Options sub-menu that you could create an Archives page easily.

      I clicked the “enable archives page” in Cutline Options. Then I set up the archive page in the Pages submenu. Voila … I had an archives page.

      Whoa!! Wait a minute. Now the Archives page is my default first page and I can’t figure out how to change it.  I failed to notice the little extra text underneath the ‘enable’ button that said this would make the Archives page my First Page. So no matter what I did, the Archives page hijacked my site and I couldn’t get my site to show my posts asRead More »WordPress, Cutline, Archives and Backup!

      Facebook engagement

      Key Tips on Managing Facebook Engagement

        People are using Facebook increasingly for business and many are wondering why they are having trouble getting noticed and so commented/liked and shared.

        Here are a few things to focus on to make sure your page improves.

        1. How many posts do you actually talk about yourself? Doing this occasionally is good – people get to see the personality of your business – but talking more than 1 in 5 posts about yourself can become wearying for your audience.
        2. Remember that this is a social network so be social, not one-way. Encourage communication and make sure you comment on peoples comments or at least like them. Remember to like their posts too.
        3. Create engaging posts – PostPlanner has some good starters for free on their site and if you look around you can be creative in how to get people talking – polls, questions, controversy, news stories, sharing fun videos .. once you ‘get it’ you’ll findRead More »Key Tips on Managing Facebook Engagement

        How To Really Get Your IM Business Rocking

          A lot of the time, people at the starting or bottom end of the internet marketing online business chain are not doing much but learning. Some of us become professional learners.

          We’re stuck in a state of mad desire to get a business happening and complete inertia – the more you learn the more confused you become and the more you realise there is to learn. We flick from forum to website to article in search of the Holy Grail that will lead us to internet riches.

          Well, here’s the news folks.

          The riches are right in front of you. What you need to do (and I’m talking to myself here as well!) is to buckle down, have a plan and stick to it until you get results. Then continue working it.

          Doesn’t matter whether it’s Article Marketing, Video Marketing, Information Product Creation, Freelancing, Google Adwords or whatever. Every system works. There are people whoRead More »How To Really Get Your IM Business Rocking

          Practice Makes Perfect: Get Habitual Results

            I run development programs with people who are looking to get more from their life. One thing people often say to me is, “I need to get results fast!”. I then ask them how long they’ve been living with this issue/problem/concern. Usually the answer is “years”. So it’s kind of unrealistic to expect instant results, don’t you think? Lots of people promise just that. What I can tell you after three decades in the people development industry is this: sustainable change on a personal level only comes about through changing your patterns of behaviour: your habitual ways of thinking, doing,… Read More »Practice Makes Perfect: Get Habitual Results

            Deleting Your Contacts in iPhone

              My contacts had become bloated with syncing between iPhone and Outlook so it was time for radical action.  I found no way to delete contacts from within iPhone. I did find ways to use Windows Address Book or Yahoo email but they seemed more convoluted so  how I did it. Export contacts from outlook to a dos csv format Check contents of export file Delete all contacts in outlook Sync iPhone again and choose to overwrite the contacts with the (now empty) Outlook Import contacts back into Outlook from the csv file (after cleaning up any duplicates and errors)
