After creating a Google Analytics account, I posted a help request comment on what to do next. I had some good advice on how to add the Analytics Java script code to my blog and its working fine. But I’ve tried to edit the HTML code on my Profit Pulling Platform and it’s not working.
Looks like I need to revisit this ….. It looked so easy!
Will update everyone when i’ve fixed, but I’m not sure if I can fix it from an Internet Cafe.

When I signed up for the Alex Jeffries Marketing course, I had already booked my family holiday. I hadn’t expected to be out of work and reliant on what I learn being my future. With time running short after the second training module, I managed to sign up for a Google Analytics site and added the source code to my Blog and my site http:www.listbuilding-for-newbies.com
I’m currently over in Thailand and have found an Internet Cafe to see if I set up my Google Analytics correctly. Wow, although I messed up somewhere with the List Building site, I actually had traffic and comments on my site.
This is definately another step in the right direction.
Next task is to generate more traffic and see what I did wrong when trying to set up Google Analytics for http:www.listbuilding-for-newbies

I might be getting ahead of myself, but I’m flying to Thailand next week and want to make as much progress as possible whilst I have internet access.
Whilst I was going to buy a themed page for my blog, I’m short of money and WordPress 2.8 has 35 pages of themes. It’s really easy … select a style you like, upload and activate it. (I chose Press Play 1.1)
Next I need to learn about widgets. This will require me to upload files to my site, so I downloaded some free FTP software from File Zilla at http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Alex Jeffreys Marketing training provides the group of students with a Free Traffic Network Builder widget, the idea being to connect a network of bloggers in order to create a community.
After downloading the file, I fired up Zilla File and simplydragged it from my C: drive location to blog/wp-content/plugins. The next step is to activate the widget using the WordPress dashboard.
I’d been recommended a Social Networking widget called ‘Tell a Friend’ which I’ve also loaded in the same way. For more information on how to get ‘Tell a Friend’ look in my review section.

Couldn’t sleep very well. I left the seminar at 2:45am during the Q&A session and found out later that Alex continued for ages. I got up and thought okay, lets de-clutter the room and start to plan. The amount of things to do is daunting, but this is a fresh start.
My plans and pledge are a bit sketchy at the moment, but I can refine and expand things as I go along. The main thing was to take action now.
I logged on to Alex’s training forum and was pleasently suprised to see comments building up from other members offering support and downloads on ‘How to build a blog’ (thanks Tony McLaughlin).
Realising my blog would be central to my business, I searched for a host provider that supported cPanel and Fantasia. I decided to go with Just Host as they were voted number one for support and price, with a current offer of a free domain for life and a hosting account with lots of features for £2.95 per month.
A useful tip I’ve learned …..
One you’ve found a product or service you like on the internet, start your order, then close the window before completing. Sure enough this style of exit presented me with a pop up which linked to an online sales rep who offered me a one time 50% discount if I returned to complete my order …. Cool!
So I bought my domain and web space, which was available within minutes and went about following the tutorial on how to set up a WordPress blog using cPanel and Fantasia.
As you can see, things have worked and I can make posts. My next task is to improve the appearance of the blog and make it friendly to generate traffic, so tomorrow I want to learn about WordPress Themes and widgets.

I’ve signed up to be mentored by Alex Jeffreys. I didn’t go looking for it, the opportunity arose from being on Mike Filsane’s list having bought Launch Tree.
I watched the video pitch and started to take notice, maybe Alex is the one to get me out of my current financial mess. It’s been nearly 8 months since I last worked as a computer programmer, yet I’m still sinking my time and savings into internet schemes that haven’t earned me a penny.
The seminar started (for me) at 11pm titled “Forward to Basics” and to be honest, what we were being told wasn’t rocket science, just common sense about planning projects and identifying the key tasks needed to build an internet marketing business. But then Alex touched on how people actually spend their time on non productive aimless tasks.
Whilst the message was simple, was I doing it in my life? No!
Was I making money? No!
Did I have a direction? No!
So this Ah Ha moment at 2am on 7th July is something I have to take action on, otherwise I’ll continue to fail.
