News Flash - Exclusive 1 Hour Alex Jeffreys’ Interview Coming Soon!!!!
Posted on 25. Nov, 2009 by Derrick.
I know its been a while since my last post, mainly because there has been some major changes in my focus, however I have not forgotten the great opportunity that exists online. I’ve been trying to organise an interview with Alex Jeffreys for quite some time now, and have had delays due to our both our hectic schedules and a mistake on the timezone difference causing me to miss a previous scheduled interview a couple of months ago. But i’m happy to say that a couple of weeks ago I finally got a chance to do an exclusive 1 hour interview with Alex Jeffreys. So stay tuned! - I’ll be posting the entire interview with transcript in the next couple of days.
If there are any questions you may have - let me know, and I’ll aim to get the answers from Alex when I get a the chance to do a follow up interview

Posted on 03. Feb, 2009 by Derrick.
I got a burst of inspiration yesterday afternoon and made a parody of Steve Ballmer doing his “Monkey Dance”. It’ll probably be my final video entry for the Alex Jeffrey’s Video Competition. Actually make that definitely since the competition ends in 2 days 
I saw this clip a while ago and its pretty funny seeing Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft - one of the worlds biggest companies going crazy, running around shouting and jumping up and down. I couldn’t resist doing something with it. . so here it is - if you like - please DIGG it (click on the icon just above this text) and leave me some feedback love. Enjoy!

Progress Update : 2009 Week 2 January 12th-18th
Posted on 20. Jan, 2009 by Derrick.
Ok, So a couple of days late. . but I have legitate excuses (Difficultly uploading video to Youtube - for some reason, it wouldn’t accept my HD version, and attempted nearly 10 times - the file was huge - over 700MB :). .Anyways, here’s my progress report for 12th to 18th of January. (times are approximate, as there were a few times when I was in deep concentration on making the video, I forgot to start the timer
My Achievements:
- Brainstormed Ideas for Video Contest & Produced and Uploaded first Video (~16 hours+)
- Researched Wordpress themes and revamped my blog ~ 15 hours
- Initiated my first Joint Venture Project - I’ll reveal more of this later ~ 4 hours
- Writing 2 Key articles - one on article writing, the other on directory submission ~ 9 hours
- Spending a very small amount of time on Traffic Generation ~ 2 hours (I think this is a little inaccurate - probably more closer to 4-5 hours and this was mostly oil rig hopping - visiting and commenting on other peoples blogs)
Below is a nice coloured graph showing you the breakdown:
Work Breakdown Jan 12th -18th 2009 - Click to enlarge
Now that I have showed you what I have done - Lets check what the RESULTS are
My Key Performance Indicators from the goals I set in January were based on the following : Income, Visitors, and my list building. As I have been focusing on producing content and updating my site (and subsequently very little on traffic generation) my results this week, have not suprisingly been bad :) Firstly here are my google Analytics stats:
Google Analytics - Jan 12-18th 2009 - Click to Enlarge
As you can see I nearly dipped to ZERO on the 16th, but I was luckily able to resurrect my traffic after I finally uploaded my Video to YouTube. I have to say its very discouraging when you aren’t getting traffic, but its an adrenalin ride when you do:)
Ok. big question : have I made any money? And the answer is NO. . in fact I’ve spent some money (spent $70 buying the WooTheme to update the look and feel of my site). But I know I will very soon. . How about my list? No subscribers yet either, but again I do have a plan. . so this will change very soon
One other bit of good news is that I have climbed in the Alexa Rankings - I’m now proud to say I’m at 580,385 Check it out below:
Alexa Rankings 18th Jan 2009 - Click to enlarge
Oh, and one other thing. . I just passed 1000 friends on twitter :). . so all in all despite not being good to my bank account, it has been a good week :). . .
Well that’s it for week 2.
My plan this week is to continue working on my blog usability and functionality, adding lots of quality content, and spend more time in traffic generation activities
Would love to hear any questions you may have or your thoughts on how I could be more productive, or where you feel I need to focus my energies for the coming weeks - post your comments in the box below

Module 5 : Traffic Tornadoes - 5 Key Traffic Generating Strategies
Posted on 09. Jan, 2009 by Derrick.
Hi Guys,
Just had our first Coaching session for 2009 with Alex Jeffreys.
Before I get to the key points, I just wanted to say that technology never ceases to amaze and excite me. Even though this is about my 6th or 7th conference web call, I’m still excited as ever by the power of this technology. . (Yes I am a geek
The Ability to do a live web coaching seminar to people all over the world and interact is amazing. Because of this technology, we are all able to have a class together, and get a ton of great information on the web conference, plus hear students ask live questions and add even more great information.
Besides the quality information being shared, one of the biggest advantages I’ve found by being part of this program has been great community of students who not only have been very supportive but just as importantly been sources of inspiration and knowledge in helping me build this blog :). .
So thank-you to all those who have offered your help and support!
Today’s session on Traffic Tornadoes was excellent. While the information may not be new. . the value of having someone who knows what he is talking about, and showing you live how to use the technology is fantastic. There ’s so much information out there, so its always great to have someone give you the big picture and show you what’s important. Here are the FIVE KEY WAYS we covered today to help generate Traffic:
- Writing Articles
- How to Network Online, Research your market (Using Google, Yahoo and Alexa) & Make More Links.
- Press Releases
- Giveaways
- Ebay Traffic
To motivate us to put these strategies in place, Alex announced a new Traffic Competition to see who can get listed as No.1 on Google for the search term Alex Jeffreys. Whoever gets the coveted spot (currently occupied by Alex’s own website - www.MarketingWithYou.com wins the $1000.00. (ps - I believe this competition is only available to students of his current coaching program, in case you got excited but are not a student of Alex’s
I gotta go out right now, But I’ll be posting again very soon to expand on some of the traffic techniques listed above as well as our extra session on Video Marketing with Maria Andros. . Stay tuned!

December 2008, First Progress Report
Posted on 03. Jan, 2009 by Derrick.
Ok. . I have been meaning to do this report a while ago, but now that a whole month has passed, I thought I would do a complete month report on what results I have achieved and how much time and money I have invested so far:
Web Traffic Statistics
So first up are the statistics: below is the google analytics for the month of December. Bear in mind this current Blog was only established on the 21st December (prior to that I was using my personal domain name) so really it is for the first 10 days and over christmas. Click on the image to open into a full size image:
Just over 100 Visits - So nothing amazing there (Yet) - and haven’t reached my initial target of 1000 visitors.
Google Analytics Dec 2008
But what have I actually achieved in this time?
1. Got my head around wordpress and an understanding of how to set up a word press blog
2. Learnt about some of the best ways to get traffic and started using them.
3. Started to get to know some of the other students!
Capital Invested:
- Alex Jeffreys‘ Coaching Program : US$497
- Domain Names : US7.69
- Aweber Autoresponder Account : US$19/Month
- Screencapture Software US$89.00
- WebHosting US$24.95
Total Costs Accrued : $637.64
Time Invested
Total Time : 87 Hours (Approximately 2 Weeks full time)
Breakdown Of Time Dec 2008
So what are the takeaways. Looking at the time breakdown, I definitely probably shouldn’t have spent so much time working on the look and feel of the blog itself, and spent a bit more time on traffic generation strategies. I think that would be the main takeaway, focus more on the things that will make the biggest impact on my blog.
Also I’ve been rather picky with the look of my site. . you may notice the site changing quite a bit as I find the right look for it, to the left is a screen shot of how it looked before. .any comments thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated. The reason i’ve changed from that theme, is because I was told by other students, they thought it looked too comical and not serious enough - what do you think?
