Hi to all and its Christmas Eve..and all is quiet..finally!
Firstly may you all have a Great Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year.
All my thanks to my fellow bloggers, students and followers who have been sharing this journey from total Kaos to now confusion on the internet. The last 4 weeks have been unbelievable in what I have learnt and the people that I have meet on line and more importantly the sincerity of others who have shown great heart in helping and supporting complete strangers.
The spirit of Christmas in both my mind and my heart is certainly still alive and don’t believe those who tell you that it no longer exists. The greatest gift is to give of ourselves without the expectation of material gain but in the pleasure of knowing that you helped.
There are a number of Universal Laws, which you may be aware of and certainly the Law of Reciprocity is alive and well…what ever you give willingly you will get back three fold…
What a great thing to have waiting for us when we least expect it…thanks to you all!
On the Blogging Front
I have been a little amiss in not detailing what Ihave been up to in my quest to understand blogging and how to build a network and build a list.. Over the last 4 days the plan has been very simple, as that is all I know at this stage…
1. Visit other Students websites and say…Hey…and hope that they will return the favour..
2. I am now officially on..Twitter…boy has that been interesting…it is so quick in people noticing you, not all good to be the way. I got onto the people that Alex Jeffreys, John Reece, Mike Filsame, and others are following and spent several hours going through them and following them who have been in turn following me…pretty good stuff and inspiring to boot.
3. I am now on Technorati and have put my sites on this as favoured and also went to The Friday Report and favoured them, to get back in return…hey thanks to a tip off from another student
4. I am now on Delicious..and haven’t quite worked out how to use this yet..but I am working on it..
5. I have changed the blog around and added a MyBlogLog on to it to get some more interested people to register
6. I have made my first video and sent our a post on this…and will do a bit more of this on the Fortunate500 site about this.
7. Freebies is the next on the list and this is in progress to offer and send out as a special to social network
8. Keep going to set up the Social Network to make this the engine to drive traffic to my blog site.
9. Of course I need to finish my first ebook that is in progress…hope to have done after Christmas..
Well if that won’t keep me busy for a while I don’t know what will but there has been a lot going on and a lot planned. I have to say the work being done by Dean Holland, Garry Parkes, Nigel Yip, Gary Simpson has been inspiring and sets a fantastic standard to shot for because now I can see what can be done..where as before starting this course I didn’t know…
The gives me a good idea…in my next post I have a surprise about something I learnt recently about an experience model, which Alex was talking about in one of the calls I will tell you later.
Its late on Christmas eve here in Aussie land and time to wait for Father Christmas to visit, so I will sign off now and please all have a GREAT CHRISTMAS..and may this day last 365 days a year in your heart!!
Best wishes…Paul

Hey Paul,
You were kind enough to leave a comment on my blog asking about blog carnivals. It’s a simple method you can add to your lisst of tools in your posts. I just posted a video telling all how it’s done.
Have a great Christmas.
Jeff.
Hi Paul
Thanks very much for visiting my http://AlanNeath.com blog and leaving a comment, naturally i have added you to my blog roll.
Looking around all the students including your own pages it is amazing to see the rich diversity and knowledge being shared.
You are certainly comfortable with running your blog which is well designed, nice to see the snow flurry too, so have a great Christmas.
Alan
Hi Alan and Jeff..

Hi Paul, Just popped in to say hi,
I have something very special for you.
I just spent the last two days writing and mapping out how to get free traffic to your website or blog within days. I have actually showed your students and my friends one of the techniques I use to get over 1000 + unique visitors a day to my car audio site for the last 4 years. I also show how they can get listed on the first page of Google within days. These are proven tested white hat strategies.
PS: I just heard about half of Alex’s students still don’t have a blog up.
That is why I have put together a huge wordpress video course that shows them step by step exactly what to do. Many students have already grabbed them. If you would like to put a link on your site to the wordpress videos I will put a link to any product you are promoting.
Here are the videos, http://www.vincecraine.com
let me me know – and check out my proven traffic strategy.

Hi Paul,
Just got an email from Coleen. She said you were a rip-snorter bloke and that I should come and say howdy coz you are a fellow Oz. I think I heard you on the Q&A#2.
Interesting observation – see the post where you asked a question about Technorati? See how it has received 29 responses? Pretty good huh? What does that tell you? Ask more questions? LOL!
Paul, there are some members of the F500 who are so choc-full of info that they LOVE to get it out. That is what I like about this team within the team.
Anyway, I have a page up on the dumbest, most el-stoopido thing I have ever done in relation to List Building. Come and have a read. You will probably get a few laughs too. Little Nixster has been there AND on my “Black Hat” page. Need I say more?
Regards

Hi Paul! I loved your article. It was full of ideas for driving traffic, and I, like the rest of the students, are looking for those tips right now. 🙂 I am going to check out Technorati. I have seen so many people talking about it! That is on my “to-do” list. 🙂
Have a wonderful New Year!

Hey Paul
Firstly I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and thank you for your best wishes. I really like the fact that you mentioned about the “Law of Reciprocity” as it has been an idea that’s been badgering me all though last few weeks.
Anyway it’s great to see that you’ve done so much and have created a plan of action, in fact it puts me to shame that I have been slightly laid back a bit during the past week because of Christmas etc… Guess I must crack on lol….
All the best and have a wonderful prosperous New Year!!!!
Nigel
Anyway I look forward to your new eBook and can
