“Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Fellow Bloggers, lend me your eyes…”

Well, poor old Alex Jeffreys’ head must be throbbing coz mine is from wearing those ear-muffs (headset) for 6 hours straight. What a session! So, I have a headache and I have writer’s cramp from taking 11 pages of hand-written notes.

Gee, did he cover some ground, or what? The $1,000 competition, blogging, marketing WITH people and not TO them (big hint there), 1st impressions, networking, keywords, “funny is money”, funneling, traffic tactics, twitter, you-tube, John Reese, Rich Schefron, Mike Filsaime, Andrew Fox… and all that was just from glancing at my notes.

I have arrows and asterisks and side-bar notes all over the pages. What a mess!

So, traffic… what have I been doing to attract and collect traffic? So far, I have:

1 – my Squeeze Page up (but not here right at this moment – will attend to that next week),
2 – been furiously blogging across all blogsites to interconnect the web-ring we are creating PLUS added a lot of content and resources here,
3 – aweber up and running,
4 – written a 72 page e-book on ACTION PLANNING (still waiting on covers etc),
5 – my Profit Pulling Platform in place,
6 – planned the upgrade of my blogsite and what it will look like,
7 – written about a dozen articles to create interest (still in various stages – some handwritten, some typed, one submitted),
8 – taken a position in Garry Parkes’ “Profit Pulling Project” newsletter as a guest columnist on motivational matters.

As much as I have done I would like to do more. In planning, at various stages, I have to:

1 – write more articles,
2 – investigate video to load to site,
3 – advertise my new ACTION PLANNER e-book on the site (teaser below),
4 – set up a twitter account,
5 – make this rusted out Lada-Niva bucket of sh*t weblog site FAR more pretty and functional (this has been something I have neglected for too long now),
6 – finish off another e-book (in fact, several of them),
7 – follow up many notes in my journal (too numerous to mention),
8 – visit several sites/forums that I am a member of and comment there on matters pertinent to what we are doing here (re: the oil rigs – LOL!).

But I will be guided by the fact that “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and neither will be this blogsite. Though I want to ditch the Lada soon! Otherwise my blog will get called Lada-Land. Or maybe La-La-Land would be more appropriate. Whatever.

So, what are you bloggerites doing to create a traffic surge to our sites?

Regards

Gary

PS: I’m gonna take some pills (something I hardly ever do) for this damn head-ache. Thanks a LOT Alex!

PPS: To all those who have left COMMENTS here – I thank you sincerely. If your blogroll is not up here yet then I apologise. I will get to the BIG backlog list as soon as I possibly can.

OK folks,

Over to you. What did you think of PPP#1?

Was it too basic, too technical, about right? Too short, too long?

Tell us all what you thought (please don’t make it too long) and give any suggestions you may have for improvement in the future (if you say ban my column then I’ll go away and have a cry then come back and beat you up – LOL).

Did Garry Parkes and the support crew do a good job or what?

Alright, alright, alright!

Enough emails askin’ me about this “PROJECT X” on the sly. Gee some people are sneaky. LOL!

I know many of you are wanting to know. I know I have been clandestine. I know I have been somewhat mysterious about this.

Project X is well and truly on steroids now. It is VERY advanced but I can’t release it yet. I want to make sure it is WORTHY of distribution to the troops coz it has awesome application to what we are all doing. So, I am gonna do something very scary for me… (deep breath)… I’m gonna… (I can hardly bear to do this)… OUTSOURCE the last bit.

I reckon I’m OK with the words and layout but I am SHIZENHOUZEN (made up “German” word for … well, you can guess) with e-Book covers and the like. So, I have a dude lined up but he can’t do anything till next week. Gee, you’d think it was getting close to Christmas, or something.

So, to prevent all those folks who have a sardine on their tongue (ie sitting there with baited breath) from asking, I have decided to do a little COMPETITION here. Here are the rules:

1 – You get to ask ONE simple question – no multiple Q’s (ie no “if not, why not?” stuff)

2 – I get to answer YES, NO or MAYBE.

3 – If my answer is MAYBE then you may just have to be a little more specific.

Wanna play?

Regards

Gary

What IS Project X?

PS1: If you ask your question then that’s it – only ONE per person. But you can come back and comment on what others have said. I just won’t answer you directly. Oh, ALSO, just to SPICE THINGS UP – to the FIRST person who drags it right out of me I will give you a prize. It will be something that I have done that has received accolades from all over the world so you will more than likely really like it yourself. I will send the prize privately via email and I will NAME the winner right here so it will be all above board, so to speak.

Howdy,

I just thought I would update you folks on the progress of “Project X .”

If you have read about my intrepid adventures in the Land of “Noof Noof” then you will know that Project X speared into my grey-matter while I was attending a bush wedding on the weekend. The full wrap up of that little jaunt is below this post so if you want to grab a tea or a coffee or a valium (LOL) then be my guest.

I’m not saying exactly what Project X is just yet. But I will say that it will have MASSIVE application and is very much in accordance with what our mentor and coach Alex Jeffreys alluded to in one of the first three Coaching Modules (not saying which one – heh…heh…).

Anyway, I have worked on Project X in a mad frenetic fit of activity. I will tell you it is an e-book and it is currently sitting at around 70 pages. Not bad from conception as a mere idea sitting in the State Forest in Noof Noof only two days ago to scribbling it madly onto paper to typing it all up myself in a frenzied period of massive activity starting at 5.30am this morning to 3.00pm now, huh? Now don’t read too much into that. It was the thinking, planning and drafting that allowed me to smash it wide open so quickly.

The final touches and proof reading and editing etc plus organising a nice cover and the pdf conversion will all take up lots more time. But Project X is no longer just a thought or a concept or a draft.

Project X is now REAL.
