This is a list of some online free resources that I use which I mentioned in the interview:

StumbleUpon Toolbar for sending pages to my network of friends when I want to share something with them. Please note that you have to be registered with SU in order to use it. It is also available in IE browser here.

Strip Generator for creating comic strips which are fun to use to add into a post.

Thirty Day Challenge where I met George Kedourie and teaches about how to get free traffic to your blog.

TaggZilla dot com is a follow on from the Thirty Day Challenge and a fantastic resource site for support in with your Internet Marketing.

Off2Trade dot com is a site which you can surf to find free online resources to help your internet experience which have helped me streamline my time online.

HeadSpace2 is a great wordpress plugin for meta-tag generators making it easier to get search traffic for individual posts.

CommentLuv wordpress plugin as it parses the commenter’s latest post from their blog.

PodClass which is a Facebook application for running classes.

Camtasia Studio 3 free download to enable the making of tutorials or videos.

I Want Sandy is a virtual secretary.

Jott – I learned about this from Pearl over at Fresh Perspectives which sounds really great, however it is not available in Australia yet! I’m sure it will help some of you so I wanted to list it here.

I am sure you will all find something useful in this list so let me know what you think of them.

Thanks again to George Kedourie for suggesting this interview.

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.

I have to tell you that I have many projects going on at the moment that sometimes, I forget to let you know what’s going on. My work has become quite varied and I am involved in some JV’s which are keeping me very occupied to say the least. Oh… and btw, with Google’s latest PageRank update, my site now has a PageRank 3 which is pretty cool I think… and not only that, but following on from the last article re TaggZilla and ranking #1 with Google, little did I know that when I started with this blog, my other sites, and profiles on many of the social network sites, that I had my own little Site Club going on. They all have Page Ranks now

What this means is that this blog has provided some strength in the importance of all my other sites. So if you are a webmaster and into blogging, having links to all your other sites can improve the chance of building their PageRank as well. I guess that’s what they mean by link building with relevancy to the site.

The Measure of a Man

So why did I quote Sidney Poitier at the beginning of this post you may ask if I am talking about PageRank. Well, I like the quote for a start and to tell you the truth, I am not 100% sure that the PageRank really does show the Measure of a Man or site in this case. I am not going to get into a big discussion about this as my strengths do not lie here, I am just telling you what I know and what I have learned over the past year as a webmaster and blogger.

My personal opinion is that if you love what you do and your readers keep coming back, then just keep on doing it. If you have a monetized site, keep that monetized site. Whatever makes you happy is great for you. I love writing here as I can blab about whatever I like and most of the time, I send you off with something to think about. Don’t I.

So right now, I am Being in the Moment and giving you what I know, my thoughts as they stand at this moment. Living consciously and being genuine. It’s not always the case with most of us as we are afraid of what others might think of us. Am I generalizing here, please let me know if I am. Shed some light on why there are times that we may not be genuine or maybe you are afraid to. Either way, go and build your own Site Club and watch your PageRank develop in the next update or two.

This is what is so great about the TaggZilla team. Testing methods and sharing the experiences with all members so that they can all have a piece of the pie, so to speak.

So what is a Site Club you ask. A Site Club is like your own personal blogroll on one main site that feeds to all your other sites. I cannot give you Richard’s details as the data would then be polluted. But what I can tell you is that on your main site under your blogroll, you would have text or box ads that are links to your other sites.

Using these techniques the last site Richard put up was ranked #2 in 2 hours, but even better, for his key word phrase he was also ranked #3, #4, #5, and #6 . This has been very successful for other people in our group as well.

How do you think some of the members get their sites ranked on the front page of google within hours of going live. It is all a matter of finding your niche, researching keywords and longtail keywords (keyword phrases). If you have also done the Thirty Day Challenge, you will have been through the process of researching your niche.

The best thing about Taggzilla is that all the members are making a contribution towards helping each other succeed. There are some writing articles, some exchanging resources, and all who are giving a bit of linklove (which I wrote about in an earlier article) to each others sites. It’s a system that works.


The Ultimate TaggZilla Widget

Something else that I want to bring to your attention is the great widget which is in my right side column that actually gives you a running scroll of the articles being submitted to the Taggzilla site by members. You can get one of these widgets customized for any blog so get one for your blog and keep up with the informative articles which will tell you what is going on and have all the information right at your fingertips.
