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.

 When your blog is up, you can use RSS feed to for a more continual readership to the blog You can also use  Aweber for readership signup. Remember to get it online now. “You don’t need to get it right, just get it running” After you get it running go to www.google.com/addurl/ .
    What is a blog really good for? It keeps you accountable, and it will motivate you (I need motivation) and it has momentum. Once you start to write on your blog you will find that it gets easier to write. I’m finding that it really does get easier.
   If you have a favorite radio station it has a call sign, my favorite station is W.I.I.F.M. (What’s In It For Me) Alex gave us this acronym and it kind of sticks in my mind. Make sure that your blog gives good value for continued readership.
   Do a story about how you started , your family or, as I am doing here, about my building a six figure business from scratch. Your blog needs to be updated once or twice a week.
   Social sites are a good way to send people to your site. When they come to your site encourage them to visit your squeeze page and build a list.
   If you create value the rest of your business will take shape.
   How are blogs powerful? They are fast to put up- other people send people your way- they provide value to you-  build a readership-and they build you a list.
   A good acronym is KISS keep it simple stupid. A blog needs have a basic story,
your story. Tell the readership how you started. I started in a land, far,far away called……..OOPs, lost my head for a moment.
   There are three types of people: People who don’t learn from their mistakes, People who learn from their mistakes, and people who learn form the mistakes of others. So align wourself with someone who has done what you plan to do and learn from their mistakes.
