Hey there, I’m back again with a few more take-aways from the NAMS affiliate marketing seminar of last week. Not only was it exciting and full of GREAT information, it was so much fun meeting new, like-minded solopreneurs. Clicking on this link will bring you to the sign up page for the next one this August, which is definitely filling up FAST.
In the last post I mentioned Denise Wakeman’s terrific presentation and blog critiques; what I want to add is that she has wonderful resources at her website for learning all about the biz of blogging. You can check them out here and be on your way to a much better blog. An effective one will pull traffic into your world from all over cyberspace, which is exactly what you want.
Another take-away from last week’s conference is the unbelievable potential in that crazy little tool called social media. Okay, I understand that this may be elementary for many of you, but like many other newbies, I wondered if I really needed to go that route. The answer to that is a simple, but resounding, YES.
There are virtually unlimited resources available (pun intended) to dig into Twitter, Facebook, or any of the other hundreds of social networks out there today. Tomorrow there will be more. Although the use of many were recommended by the various presenters, I liked that Bob ‘The Teacher’ Jenkins advised us to start with one – and not try to learn them all this week. That resonated well with me.
In a day or two I will share the most important take-away of all, for me personally. Implementing it will help determine the course of my business succcess, and even perhaps in which direction it will go. I highly recommend it, having already started myself this past week. Look for this post later this week.
Until then, keep taking those baby steps that will surely lead to giant rewards.
I was also at the NAMS3 conference last month and came home with my head just about exploding with great information.
Also among my favorite presenters was Denise Wakeman. Her “Hot Seat” analysis of three participants’ blogs was eye opening and informative. I liked the way she dissected each blog and pointed out their strengths as well as weaknesses. Plus, Denise gave suggestions how to improve each, which served as lessons for us all.
NAMS3 also convinced me that I’ll finally have to jump into the social media pool -something I’ve been resisting for a long time. But all the speakers at NAMS drove home the importance of using these tools to drive traffic to our websites and blogs.
Thanks to you Tiiu, for also being a valuable and easy to understand resource for us solopreneurs, start up and established!
