It’s very late here now, but I could not go to bed without posting this. There was a list of the Top 100 Australian Blogs posted by Meg Tsiamis over at Dipping Into The Blogpond which is a blog with an Aussie focus, and I was thrilled to find out that I made that list! As far as I know, it is the first time I have made it and at number 81, it is a great start for me. The top three blogs are Problogger, Entrepreneurs Journey, and lifehack.org.

Meg uses three variables which are the Alexa ranking for Australia, the Alexa ranking for the US, and the Technorati ranking of a blog to determine the numbers. To learn more of how she does this, read it here.

Aside from this successful blog, Meg also facilitates the BUMPzee Australian Blogs Community and owns and runs dlook which is an Australian Online Business Directory, and from what I saw, there is also a dlook dating site if anyone is interested! Kudos to Meg for running such successful businesses.

Blogging is quite a community affair. I remember when I first started Buzzing with Ange and I used to wonder how to get people to read it. Twelve months later, I have made it into a Top 100 list. Not bad for a stay at home mother of two who has had quite a varied number of roles in her lifetime to date.

The social media has been a worthwhile area to be involved in with building a blogging community and learning how to drive traffic to my site. I must say that it has all been a very fun way of getting to know people too and the reasons why they blog.

Now it is really getting late here.

I will go to sleep smiling and grateful.

Dedicated to Success

Making a contribution to others is a great experience. Just last night, my partner was reading through some of my older posts. He doesn’t get much time to read my blog and so he thought he would make the effort.

I was out with the girls for dinner so he was left to his own devices, and he must have been missing me to do some reading. I received a text from him later into the night to say that what I wrote was really inspiring … and that’s coming from a man who normally reads the NBA news and results!

Today, I want to give you this inspiring story of life to pay it forward to your friends. Live your life and do the things you love before it’s too late. Show your enthusiasm for life so that others will be touched by what you do. Create your day from the moment you wake up and say I’m having a great day! The rest will follow.

I will leave you to enjoy this.

My daughters love these shoes and I just cannot wear them. I like the crab on these ones. What do you think. Interesting.

Now what would Croc shoes have to do with Copywriting I hear you ask. Well, actually nothing, or not these ones at least. I heard on the grapevine that Trevor “Toe Cracker” Crook, a fellow Aussie, Pay it Forward entrepreneur and the master of copywriting himself, is hosting a free webinar for TaggZilla on the 20th of November. Just a couple of days away and he wants YOU to be there to listen in on how he has helped many clients increase their returns by up to as much as 300% just by changing one letter.

Have you ever wondered why you may be missing out on sales of your products when you put so much work into marketing them? Here is just a little of what Trevor will be revealing in the webinar:

• How adding one single letter to an advert increased results 300%
• How Trevor has written simple 1-2 page letters, several have achieved a staggering 8% response or more just from one letter! Another 2 page letter generated $4.0 million for his client.
• A one word change increased CTR 800% even though his client biatched and moaned and said the word didn’t make sense. Trevor “toecracked” him and said just do it. He’s not biatching now!
• A headline test of similar wording which pulled a 1700% difference in results.
• The 7 second tip which turned a company around $1.6 million in net cash in 1 year.
• The 20 minute phone call which increased sales $2.159 million in 30 days.


Thrilla on TaggZilla

This webinar has been tagged the Thrilla on TaggZilla as Trevor spills the beans on how to achieve this. He says that the words you choose and the words you use, determine how successful you are as an entrepreneur. To his credit, one of his clients headlines was so powerful that it made it onto the David Letterman Show.

To get all the details and register for the event, go here now. I for one can’t wait to hear what he has to say… and if you want to know about the Croc shoes, well you just have to watch the video he released as part of the promo to find out.
