Well back to business. Alex Jeffreys put up a $1000 competition for the blog that gets the most traffic between Dec 19th to Jan 1st. Oops this kind of leaves me out as we are supposed to use Google Analytics to track traffic and hits to the site.  Being a little slow off the starting line, as usual with all this techie stuff. I am still behind, as I loaded the plugin but it I didn’t add it to the html. I have to figure how to do this now.I know the end result will be worth the labor I put into this. Are you listening ,Alex?
   The other students of Alex are at different levels of expertise , Some like me and others who have not  any great problems.  But we all have our goal of our Six Figure Income Business’.
   We have to tell how we are driving traffic to our blogs. So: 1) Fellow students can see what we are doing.  2) Adds great content.  3) We will have to take action. and  4) The value of this blog will attract more traffic to it.
   So I will have to kick this into overdrive and get the ball Rolling because I am behind and need to get in the game ASAP.

Well, the first module of Marketing With Alex was an eye opener. He called it Moving Forward to Basics. Most other people who mentor do so moving back to basics. We need to change our mindset to building our business not for ourselves but to the betterment of others.

This business is not a get rich quick scheme but a get rich forever system.
Alex brings out that you are either a winner or a loser based on whether or not you take action or not on the things that winners in this business need to do. Which the first order of business is to step outside your comfort zone.
A quote that he brings out is ” Don’t chase money, let money chase you.” I like that because it brings to mind “that what most people chase after is the most elusive to find” (an old chinese proverb ?).
The next order of business is to align yourself with someone that is credible, someone that is “walking the walk and talking the talk.” Which is why I am fortunate that Alex is my mentor, and someone who is being recognized by the internet marketing “gurus” as a rising star and a contender in the marketing field.
The next big order of business is to create a blog and start posting about our experiences with the mentoring process and build a readership.
I had a bit of a problem of getting a blog setup on my marketing website. Although I am using Wordppress, which is a very good platform, I couldn’t seem to get it to work. After confering with others and some digging of my own I finally got it up and running. Albiet a little later that the rest of my fellow students, oh well.
I willl continue the rest of Alex’s module on my next post a little while. I do not want to write a book on this post or bore anyone.
Later…..mike
