Hi It is Carol Harridge here.

I would like to welcome you to my Blog!

I continue to learn and grow on my journey to learn how to be successful with online Internet Marketing. I love this, as I love learning and sharing what I have learned with others.

I am working hard to put my blog together so it will really benefit you the readers.  I have great plans for my blog so please stay tuned.

I have aligned myself with some wonderful, clever people in the online marketing world.

Whereas I went on a big, expensive, journey for a couple of years, I have now found the people I trust to learn from.

They include Tony Sharpe Internet Marketer extraordinaire, Avril Harper and John Thornhill eBay PowerSellers and Internet Marketers, Daniel Sumner and Dave Nicholson – Internet Marketers extraordinaire and part of John Thornhill’s team, Steve Barrows brilliant graphics and website graphics etc designer from planet-divinity and the fabulous Alex Jeffreys and his fantastic support person Garry Parkes.

Alex is my Mentor, as is John Thornhill.

I have learned much from them.  I knew absolutely blot, zilch even though I had spent an absolute fortune we did not have over the last 2 years+ trying to learn how to make an income online.  I spent thousands on an eBay course as well as on Internet Marketing programs etc.  What I found was the people took my money and that was the last I heard of them.  They were not there for support or assistance of any kind at all.  As I was entering in to a new world, a world that uses a completely different language than the one I was used to there was much to learn.  I am an extremely self-motivated person and when I am passionate about something I will give it my heart and soul.  But when I did and hit stumbling blocks and there was noone there to assist you over the hurdles, the programs went back on the shelf.

This was until I met the people I have mentioned above.  They are there for you.  They and their teams help you over the hurdles.  Things I just didn’t understand I now do understand.  I know I have much, much more to learn, but that is great as I love learning very much.  More importantly I love sharing with other people what I have learned.

I have learned so much thanks to those people, things I am going to share with you over time.

To show you some of what I have learned :-how  to register a domain name, get a host, edit DNS settings, wait for DNS settings to propagate, setup an email account for my new domain name, registered that new email address, registered with ClickBank, set up my FTP – FileZilla and know how to use it, created my blog which has come a long way but still has more to go, learned how to use WordPress for my blog, how to create categories, how to create links, how to insert audio, video and images, how to post to my blog,  registered with Google adsense, downloaded blog themes, extracted those files, how to add adsense to my blog, how to upload themes and change them, how to register with aWeber, created a list, how to edit confirmation settings, how to set up welcome emails, how to get my aweber code and blog codes and add them to my blog, how to add the header and footer graphics to my blog that you can see on my blog, how to remove titles from banners, how to customise and remove RSS button, how to backup my blog and how to upgrade my blog, how to remove adsense from posts, how to add YouTube videos, how to set up my own YouTube station, how to find my niche to write my first ebook about, named my product so I could purchase the domain name of the same name, worked out what kind of graphics and ordered them, drafted my ebook, arranged the chapters, wrote it myself, added hyperlinks, complete audio reading of eBook. automatically loading audio readings of each individual page, how to embed videos in to my eBook , embedded several help, support and training videos, how to use Camtasia studio, added camtasia studio videos, how to add graphics and pictures, checklists and homework, screenshots,  how to convert it to pdf, created my own sales page with all the relevant sections, how to create the sales page in XSite Pro 2, how to save the website, basic html skills and how and when to use them, gathered testimonials and inserted them, added a guarantee, sourced and added appropriate bonus products, created a 7 day mini course and an optin for this, created a new list for my potential customers in aWeber, got the HTML code, added a confirmation email, added the mini course to aWeber, ordered opt-in graphics that matched the theme of my site, added those graphics, edited the aWeber code, created an Affiliate page, added Affiliate material, added the aWeber code and optin to the Affiliate’s page, added the Affiliate’s page to the main template for my website, created download and thank you pages, added my product to Clickbank, my contact details to ClickBank, added links to the Affiliate page, uploaded and tested everything, made a test order (it all worked hallelujah!), applied for ClickBank approval which I received (the only thing I needed to do for them was add a disclaimer for eBay).

I have also learned about Profit Pulling Platforms, ListBuilding With Alex, how to put Google Analytics on all my sites, faster Google indexing tactics, traffic techniques – forums, articles, press releases, blogging, twitter, giveaways, eBay, Viral Marketing, Joint Ventures, Social Media, YouTube Videos, Traffic Geyser, Maria Andros Video Marketing and so much more….

I have created 3 videos that follow.  They are now on my YouTube Channel at http://www.YouTube.com/awesomelifenow

This first one is the Welcome To My Blog Video.  I am going to eventually have that at the top of my Blog.

The second is my Video for my soon to be released eBook

I still have so many things I need and want to do.

I definitely love writing and so will be creating many articles about my niche areas associated with my products and websites and submitting them to Article Directories.

I will definitely be creating more videos.

I want to be able to get in to the Forums and share and learn more.

I have joined Twitter and need to continue to learn to use it properly so I can answer all the great people who have twittered me and are following me.  I need to contact the ones I have chosen to follow, so if I have not responded to you yet it is only because I have not found out quite how to do that yet nor have the time to do so but it is on my To Do List to do so.

I need to add things to my blog as well as visit other people’s blogs and leave my comments for them.  If I have not done so it is not because I do not want to.

On my journey I have also been quite ill for several months as well as I have conditions from 2 previous accidents.  When I have available time those issues have not affected me I have spent the time in learning and applying all the above.

I am going to be asking for people who will be my Joint Venture partners for my product launch.  I already have some great people who have said they will do so.

I am going to spend this afternoon adding to my optin box on my blog which has gone a little awry and hopefully will be fixed tomorrow.  I am going to add a statement about 7 keys to online marketing success and create those 7 items and add them to my aWeber so people can have access to this for FREE.

I also will be adding my Video welcome to my blog, and visiting other people’s blogs.  I will be going in to Twitter and answering the great people who have Twittered me.

I have been reading Alex Jeffrey’s books.  I have finished Milk the eBay Cash Cow and also the brilliant Newbie’s Nightmares.   I am about to start Guru’s Dream.  I have watched all of his ListBuilding Videos and been part of every Webinar that has been run.

I believe Experience Is The Greatest Teacher.  I believe in aligning yourself with great Mentors and Coaches and learning from them and sharing that learning with others.

I am looking forward excitedly to continue to work with them and learn from them and share this information with those who stay with me for my journey and what a journey it will be….

Until next time,
