Website Objectives

Posted on Thursday by Carol

What are your objectives concerning your website? Since I have a number of sites, I found it very helpful to write down my Internet plans for the year. Try to focus on your main objective for each site and decide on any regular features to incorporate.

For instance, with my Internet Marketing site, my objective is to journal my progress as I create information products and as I set up my first membership site online. In the past, I’ve written about a number of things related to Internet Marketing with no real focus on specific topics.

Provide regular weekly updates about your business – anything that your target market would find interesting. Answer frequently asked questions.

Why not create an editorial calendar for the year? The calendar will give you Continue reading →

Updating Website Content

Posted on Tuesday by Carol

pencilsI have started to follow my own advise and am updating the content on a number of the older posts on this blog. I installed a WordPress plugin called WP Simplicity that is making the job of finding suitable videos, images, and other companion content much easier. Since I have a lot of material in my archives, this will still move slowly, but bit by bit all of the information on this site will be relevant to online marketing today. I’m also adding audio under some of the posts I’ve written, for those of you who prefer to listen rather than read.

What have you been doing to keep your website current?

Creating a Screenr Tutorial

Posted on Tuesday by Carol

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell someone the steps to learn a computer concept. For instance, I recently found out how to create custom menus with WordPress and add pages that automatically go to another website. I tried to explain what I’d done but couldn’t quite get the message across.

Then I found Screenr and created a screencast to show what I meant. Screenr is a great program and made it easy to do my tutorial. I did have to re-do the session a number of times, first because I had to change the size of the screen I wanted to capture and then to shorten the lesson since Screenr videos are limited to five minutes.  Then I didn’t scroll down far enough on the page to see the ‘Publish’ button and wasn’t sure how to continue. Once I realized my mistake, the screencast didn’t take long to finish.

The service is free, easy, and fun to use. Once done, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, or add it to your own website as I have. Here is my final product.  I hope it encourages you to give Screenr a try yourself.
