Starting With Marketing Academy Week 3 Review: Traffic, Traffic, Traffic

SWMMiniSite3_Header
Dean Holland’s Starting with Marketing class is in its third, action packed week and I finally made the time to watch the 8 part web video module called “Traffic Tanks”, today.

This class actually covered a few things I am personally familiar with such as paid search or PPC and Google Analytics, which I have used both on The Computer Doctor website and for some of our customers.

“Traffic” means visitors to your web page, so Dean’s class this week covered five basic, traffic building areas that he has used successfully, driving up to 700 visitors to his website in ONE day. Now of course major websites can get millions of site visits or “hits”, but for personalized niche sites I will be more than happy to have a couple of hundred daily visits!

Starting with Marketing Academy Bonus Webcast and a Secret…

Sat in on a 30 minute webinar conducted by online marketing maven Dean Holland about 1 in the afternoon, 6pm UK time. Dean is from Great Britain and his personality is interlaced very well with the content of the class he is teaching.

About 4 weeks ago I got word of the class through an email from Alex Jeffreys, another online marketing guru who had recently tutored Dean on his successful ways of making money online. So as Dean is one of Alex’s most successful students, there is some motiviational “juice” here for me, as I consider the possibilities of becoming a big success.

Just Twittering About…

Day 3 with Twitter. Sixteen people “following” me and I am following 8 others. Exciting!

So I must confess the reason I signed up for twitter was to expand my network of folks so I can potentially market goods and/or services to them.

However when I began getting “spammed” with people following me with sales messages as their way of introduction to our relationship, I just tsk-tsked and made a note to NEVER be that blatant and crude with my approach.

Starting With Marketing Academy Week 2 Review

This is the second week in Dean Holland’s Starting With Marketing Academy, a compelling online classroom I have been attending in my journey to make more money online.

Turns out he has over SIXTY other students in his class–very impressive. I missed the live session but played back the slidedeck on Social Marketing.

I deal with technology at The Computer Doctor (celebrating our tenth year in business!) every day, mainly blocking websites like Facebook and Twitter!!) but the whole social networking stuff, being the private kind of guy that I am, has not held much appeal to me.

Starting With Marketing!

I recently joined Dean Holland’s Starting With Marketing Academy http://startingwithmarketing.com/
Dean has a lot of energy and enthusiasm for making money online and I enjoyed the first webinar he hosted last Sunday.
About 28 other folks are in the 6 week class, Dean’s first after emerging from the mentorship of Alex Jeffreys. The first session ran about 2.5 hours, included some nice Powerpoint type slides and his off-the-cuff teaching.
He covered the lesson plans for the next 6 weeks and gave us our first assignment–get web hosting. OK so I already have five or six websites, but as the goal was to get hosting then start a blog–I went looking for myname.com.
