Hi Guys,

I have been working at this “Internet Marketing Game” and “Make Money Online” dream for a while now and quite a lot of my friends and family know this. However I have only had limited success. However I have learnt some good stuff along the way and I would like to share these with you so that you may be able to implement them into your own business.

Now please don’t think that I am some kind of expert.

However, I perhaps believed that I did not really know stuff which would or could HELP people, which in fact when I thought about it is just not true.

So here goes, should I sell you this knowledge???

Well the answer is NO. What I want to share with you or teach you are things you can find freely on Google, and can quite easily learn yourself, but what I want to know is if you would you like me to teach you via this blog about these following simple web and internet marketing skills. And I will do this in video format to make it easier.

Now don’t expect me to be foot perfect but i think i have learned enough over the last year to be able to guide you through the following tasks if you would like some freindly NO COST help

1. Building a website using Wordpress (This site “BLOG” you are looking at runs on Wordpress)

2. Setting up an Autoresponder (This is a piece of software that can send out emails to your prospects at time intervals you select)

3. Designing a graphic header using Photoshop Elements (Photoshop Elements is the cheapo version of Photoshop)

4. How to buy a domain name and set it up so that it displays your webpage.

5. How to set up an account on Clickbank (Clickbank is a service which allows you to sell downloadable products) so you can sell your own product.

6. How to install a free web tracking tool called Stat Counter on your website (If you are interested I can shoot a video of my own Stat Counter account to see how this works.

7. Making a video using Camtasia (Camtasia is a software which allows you to record what is happening on your screen)

8. Showing you how to use a service called Twitter which allows you to interact and keep an online diary of what you do day to day.

9. How to set up an account with SKYPE (Skype is an instant messenger which works on VOIP) For non technical people this means Voice over Internet Protocol. And in even simpler terms. It will allow you to use your computer to speak with someone else who has a computer anywhere in the world, and it does not cost anything.

10. How to use SKYPE to do conference calls (You can have calls between 4 people at a time

11. How to set up a Google Account for email and other uses.

12. How to use a website called Site Solutions to check if your webpage is set up correctly.

13. How to set up a You Tube account and upload your first video

14. How to use an online survey tool for creating surveys and for gathering information

15. And finally you can just ask me a question on the blog here and i’ll try and answer it. If I do not know the answer then i will try to find it for you and give you my take.

Why am I doing this? Well i suppose it’s because i can, i have that knowledge and it will be fun to do some videos teaching others, i enjoy that

Just so you know, my name is Richard Smith and i do not make my living from the internet although that is my plan for the future. I do run my own IT Recruitment company and this is my main business at the moment.

I hope i can help you with some of the above tasks and will try my best to point you in the right direction.

I would love to hear your comments on the blog and please ask me anything that may help YOU.

Before you go make sure to grab a copy of a great book called “The Gurus Dream” it is this book which has led me to writing this post and changing my viewpoint about the internet and i think it will help a lot of people who are trying to start a business on the internet

All the best

Richard
