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.

Among some of the questions he wants to ask me are:

• what I did before I entered cyberspace
• how I got started on the Internet
• what I would never do again in relation to Internet Marketing
• what tips do I have for anyone starting out

This interview is open to everyone and will take place on January 2nd at 5pm EST.

This translates to:

• January 3rd 9am on the East Coast of Australia

Please check Timezone Converter for your time.

If you visit George Kedourie dot com, he has kindly set up an option where you can type in any questions you may have for me, and there will be a recording made for those of you where the time difference is simply not appropriate. Questions will also be taken on the call so I look forward to you joining us.

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.

There is a free keyword suggestion tool that you may be interested in using for your own research into keywords. It is one of my favorites and have been busily playing with it and learning a whole lot about the phrases that people key into search engines everyday. If you go too fast or keep on searching, after a while this message is displayed on the screen wanting to check whether you are human or a robot, lol, so you are given a code clear it and keep on searching.

Mike Mindel who is one of the co-founders of Wordtracker is keeping us all up to date with the challenge and doing a great job with it. Be warned though, if he finds out that any of you are competing with his niches, he has promised to find you and eat you

So having checked in for today its time I did some more research and get up to speed for the team meeting tonight.

Now I have to tell you why I have this Facebook profile. I actually joined Facebook last month and hadn’t bothered to fill in any details. I did the same with Stumbleupon and Squidoo

This is all related back to my journey on learning how this Internet Marketing business works. The journey I started when I joined the 21st Century Academy and was introduced to the concept of making money while you sleep. Very cool idea… So I set up some profiles and I happened to come across the www.thirtydaychallenge.com and decided to join in and give it a go.

The challenge is to make your first $10 on the Internet in 30 days. The reason I was so interested is because this thirty day challenge is all about the new marketing strategies using Web 2.0 which is a whole new article in itself, but the gist of it is to use marketing tools and applications that are not just available on your laptop. You can extend yourself onto iPods and iPhones so you are downloadable in the form of podcasts and videos. Well not you but your content that is

Making money while you sleep is something that everyone dreams of and it is possible to do if you just give it a go. The challenge has already started and there is a bit to catch up on if you are interested. It’s a great way to learn and the best thing is that it is free to join. It’s their way of paying it forward so give it a go and learn from some very talented Internet Marketers.

Seeing as this is a test, I will sign off now and see how it looks in Facebook…

To Your Success
