My 30 day IM diary – day 13

It’s Monday, and a new week is waiting to be explored :-)

I hope you like Mondays like I do, it’s like springtime, full of hope and promise, but also secrets and uncertainty…. Are you up for this weeks adventure?

So, back to me and what I did today… am I being a little self centered here?
Oh well, as long as you learn something right?

Today I read my finished Ebook again and corrected some errors and rephrased some poor sentences…

I join in on our weekly mastermind group and had a lot of fun listening and sharing with the others…

I put out an email to my list, asking them if they would be interested in exchanging a testimonial for a review copy of my product…. 3 people have answered yes so far.

My ezine article for my review site was approved, and my site is climbing the search engine rankings.

Then I went and visited my mother, had a very nice dinner and watch old funny movies for hours…. I just love to take time of like that!

Oh, and my graphics are all done for my product, only need to create the videos now…. and start to work on the sales page :-)

Well, all for now….. see you tomorrow!

My 30 day IM diary – day 12

Hi everybody… its Friday!

I’ll only post a quick one to day, I am letting myself go a little early :-)

So, what did I do?

Well I started using the Alexa rank boost surfer program I mentioned in the last post.

I ordered graphics for my new product…. YES MY OWN PRODUCT!
Still cant believe it myself…. remember I told you that Dave Nicholson is going to promote it… Well now John Thornhill is too…. WOW!

Ok, what else.. mails, Twitter …hmmm…

Oh yeah, I wrote two article and posted one on my new review site www.cb-predator-review.com and submitted the other one to 3 article directories.. Ezine, ArticleDashBoard and GoArticles….

And bookmarked as well!

So, that’s it… See you maybe Sunday or Monday.

Talk soon!

My 30 day IM diary – day 11

Wow I did it… I finished my very first E-book!

It is just such an amazing feeling!

The book ended up containing 4 moduels and will have 15 videos…. Haven’t done the videos yet, but I will :-)

Now I just have to come up with the perfect name…. I dont really like the one I already have… It needs more Wow effect!

After that comes graphics… about $67-$275. Then the sales page, download page, squeeze page, JV pages and so on. I need to create an account at click bank and reqruite JV partners…. oh and get some testimonials… Want to review my product in exchange for a testiomonial? Just put a comment on the blog and I’ll put you on my list :-)

I have a lot of work to do and now I’m even considering doing another product (maybe even two) as an upsell….

I just cant wait to see my product up on click bank :-)

What else have I been doing… Oh, getting Twitter followers, reading mails and working on improving my new review site…

By the way, I found this cool way of getting a top Alexa ranking (Alexa ranking is a way to see how much traffic your site gets and thereby determine how popular it is). I know Alexa rankings are inacurate, it only counts a visitor if he/she has the Alexa ranking toolbar installed…

Get it here: http://www.alexa.com/toolbar

But what you can do, is install an Alexa widget on your blog or webpage and install the toolbar on your computer and set your start page to be your webpage. Then your visits counts as well!

Get widget here: http://www.alexa.com/siteowners/widgets

Another great way is to use an Alexa surfing service…  What it does it, you earn credits for surfing other members pages (you can do this in the back ground – no clicking involved) What is cool about this is… All members i required to have the Alexa toolbar installed, that means your traffic gets registered every time!

Ok, that was it for today… I’ll talk to you tomorrow!

My 30 day IM diary – day 9 And 10

Ok, I had to put the last two days in this combined post. The reason is, that me and my husband live at separate locations (only 5 min apart)… Now that’s a whole story in itself, but i works for us :-)

The thing is our kids live with each of us on separate days, and yesterday they where at his place. Now, my husband had to go to work very early and I had offered to drive him and then take the kids to kinder garden. That is why I had to stay at his place in order to get him to work early today.

When we spend time together we just lose track of time and that happend to us yesterday, so I kind of forgot to post, I know I’m sorry, but I’ll make it up to you today :-)

Ok, so what have I been doing for the past two days?

Well, I have been working my but of writing my new product and planning the launch and sales process. The product is in 4 modules and has a whole lot of video. I have now completed the first 3 text modules and hope to complete the E-book tomorrow. Then it is time to create the videos, I have planned 15 already.

I have also been studying sales copy tactics when I needed a break from my project and I just found this amazing e-book from Simon Hodgkinson. The e-book is called extreme influence and is all about how to create a killer hypnotic converting sales page. He talks about font, graphics and even cool NLP techniques!

If you are in to that kind of thing go take a look right here: Extreme Influence - and yes this is an affiliate link, hope you don’t mind :-)

Another thing I have been doing is working at my sales process for the product… Well, I actually got all  up and ended up with a product+2 upsells+downsells system.

If you dont know what up- and downsell is, I’ll briefly go in to that here:

The basic way it works is…. You have a product that sells for, let’s say $27, if people buy they get redirected to another page trying to sell them a related or extended product, for let’s say $67. If they pass on that, they get hit with another page trying to sell the same product with less bonus or the video is taken out or something else, but this time for a lower cost, let’s say $37. This can go on forever, but that wont be a good strategy :-)

For this method to work, the whole proces must be logical. I mean the upsells should complement the main product and the downsells should not just be a discount, but the same offer with less material in it.

Hope that makes sense :-)

As you can see, I have had 2 busy days and it is almost 11pm here in Denmark, so I am of to bed…

Talk to you soon!

My 30 day IM diary – day 8

Hi all :-)

It is day 8 in this diary, and it is Monday! – Like I said before, I like beginnings :-)

To day I was taking things slow…. I just spend the weekend on my (5 yo) sons birthday, needed to spend time meditating and running. I also ate to much in the weekend so I had a day on vegetable soup :-)

Ok, what did I do then?

I posted to my new review blog on CB Predator, and social bookmarked it.

I spent time on the second lesson from John Thornhills Master class, all about setting up a blog… I know most of this, but did learn a trick or two.

I bought access to the digital version of the 7 figure code from Mike Filsaime last Friday, and I spent a lot of time watching the seminar – good stuff!

I also spent time on Twitter and posting the link to a Giveaway event going on the next days: http://lady-angel.com/7/go/39

So I was productive but the overall picture of this day was… spending time on getting into shape and get my focus back.

I recomend you do this every now and again, it really helps you be more productive later on. It also helps you do the right things!

Ok, that is all for now…

Just one last thing to do today: We start our private master class gathered together form fellow students of Chris Freville… I really recommend you get into these kinds of community, inner circles. It will speed up your learning curve and your earning capacity!

My 30 day IM diary – day 7

What a day!

I did good and I did bad :-(

The good thing I did was…. I finished my new product launch blog, you can see it here:

http://www.cb-predator-review.com 

The CB Predator Review blog is dedicated to give an honest review of this new game changing software… I really hope to get a review copy or an interview before it goes live! It is people like Chris Fox and Mike Merz Jr who is behind this product…

If you go take a look you will notice, the launch starts in April, but you can sign up for a cool bonus already and get notification when the software launches!

I submitted the site to various social media sites, RSS aggregators and paid for a $10 submission pack from Social Marking…. Lets get some back links!

Ok, I also did bad today! – To err is human, to forgive devine!

I was a silly fool, who did not read all the ruels… I promoted my WSO at Warrior forum in the main forum… This is forbidden and I have been banned for a whole week!

I take pride in doing things right, this is a huge blow to my self esteem! I think I just got caught up in the excitement of my first WSO….

Well, lesson learned. And let this be a warning to all…. READ THE RUELS ON FORUMS!

The last thing I did was investigate the Multi Profit Website software and it looks pretty cool. Now I just need a niche to try it out!

Ok, that was it for today, see you tomorrow…

Oh almost forgot…. I grew my Twitter list on multiple accounts as well!

OK, signing off :-)

My 30 day IM diary – day 6

Wow, I had a great day today!

I should have been working on my new review site, but i didn’t.

In the morning I woke up with a super duper great idea…. And I worked all day putting it together.

I created two videos, a squeeze page and a sales page.

I created a new list in Aweber and got an opt-in form to put on the squeeze page.

I loaded the autoresponder with an email, giving away PLR rights to my videos!

Then I did something I had never done before…..

I signed up to become a full member of the Warrior forum… cost me $37, but I think it is well worth it!

Not yet a member, get access here - Warrior Forum

Next thing I did, was to create a WSO for access to FREE PLR to the videos!

Great Idea huh?

It has only been live 30 min but I have already 15 subscribers and still counting…. And the messages they leave at the forum is just to die for!

Ok, I’m all busted getting this to work, so I’ll go to bed early today… I think, I earned  it!

See you tomorrow!

My 30 day IM diary – day 5

Hi everybody

Hope you all enjoyed your tuesday?

I have been really productive today!

I started out by creating the last video for my newsletter all about how to use the free FTP program FileZilla. That was the last video in the series, all in all 13 helpfull IM videos!

Then I added a really great training course in 6 parts on product creation to the newsletter, this is really cool!

My Twitter account was updated, I now have more than 4000 followers!

Then I started on my new JV product launch for CB Preditor, to be released in April. I set up a review blog, It still needs some work and added a new Twitter account dedicated to this launch… When the site is ready I will post the link. I use Google Sniper to do my review site.

Then I contacted the CB Preditor team to get an interview and a review copy of the software, hope to see it go throuhg!

What else?

I got access to Multi Profits Websites  as a part of the bonus from Dave Nicholson, this is going to be huge, I look forward to spending time on this!

Well, thats it for today…. time is 10 PM, I worked a bit longer today, because I was so exited about this new product launch :-)

See you tomorrow…..

My 30 day IM diary – day 4

What a great day today!

It is Monday the first of february, a new month and a new week begins…. I just love beginnings!

Ok, lets be serious for a moment….

I have done good today! I managed to get back on track with my work, so now I am free to take the night off :-)

First of I created 2 new articles today and posted them to ezine, goarticles and articledashboard…. Take a look at them here, they are both on social media:

1) Introduction to Web 2.0

2) Let’s Build Some Traffic With Web 2.0!

I am still waiting for the ezine approvement, when that occurs, I will social bookmark them with digg.com

Next I created 2 new videos for my video newsletter. One on social media and the other on RSS feeds. The total amount of videos is now 12. I will create the final one tomorrow and then put in some bonus article series.

I also logged in to socialomph (a free version is available) and scheduled some tweets, and used my Twitter software to get some more subscribers. Speaking of Twitter software, there is a really cool new software that just released, people are going mad about it, it is really that good! The software is called Twitollower, you can go check it out if you like Twitter.

Last, but not least, I started on The John Thornhill masteclass program. This week we focus on some very basic stuff. Like finding a domain name, getting hosting and setting up an email. I already knows this stuff, but it just goes to show, that John is committed to help anybody (even a totally internet newbie) to succeed. I am looking forward to getting into the more hardcore stuff though :-)

Ok, that was it for today… how many hours you ask…. well, about 6 if you count checking email, and researching for the video!

Remember to use your potential!
