<strong>* Catch Up </strong><br />
<strong>* Facebook Resources That Are VERY Handy</strong><br />
<strong> * <strong></strong>Reminder, Meet Up &#8211; Sat 4th Feb!</strong><br />

<p>=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Hi Everyone <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Not much of a catch up this week as I&#8217;ve had a lot of time off dealing with some family &#8216;stuff&#8217;<br />
I&#8217;m so glad I&#8217;m an internet marketer and can take time out whenever I feel like it <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got my meet up this Saturday, and a few bits to catch up on myself over the next couple of days, and then next weke I should be back into full swing <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>One thing I did notice while working less &#8211; was how often I would check into facebook from my iPhone!<br />
Even with them constantly changing things &#8211; It does seem like the site isn&#8217;t going anywhere&#8230; So I&#8217;ve prepared an article to hopefully help anyone who has yet to increase their exposure on facebook.<br />
<em>(see below)</em></p>
<p>Well that was a brief catch up wasn&#8217;t it&#8230;lol</p>
<p>Chat soon<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />
=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>*</big></big><big><big> Facebook Resources That Are VERY Handy</big></big></strong></p>
<p>OK &#8211; so we&#8217;ve all heard of facebook, and hopefully most of us have a profile for ourselves?<br />
Mine is <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RandolfSmith" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/RandolfSmith?referer=');">http://www.facebook.com/RandolfSmith</a></p>
<p>Personal profiles are where everyone starts, and to a degree you can post links as well as the usual jokes and funny pics and videos &#8211; which all lead to more exposure of your profile and hence your sites<em> (provided you&#8217;ve added them to your profile)&#8230;.</em><br />
BUT &#8211; if you want to get more and more links and visits back to your sites from Facebook &#8211; then you&#8217;ll find using some tools and getting some like pages built can really help.<br />
I have various like pages for different sites that I promote<em> (not all finished yet )</em> so to give you some ideas here are mine:<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/RandySmithPage?sk=app_161135967280006" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/RandySmithPage?sk=app_161135967280006&amp;referer=');">Randy Smith</a> page &#8211; a personal page promoting me and anything I want to link to<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/NorthallertonMarketingMeetup?sk=app_113963502018946" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/NorthallertonMarketingMeetup?sk=app_113963502018946&amp;referer=');">Northallerton Meet Up</a> page &#8211; just promoting my monthly meet ups<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/WizardWebServicesNorthYorks?sk=app_197184557015015" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/WizardWebServicesNorthYorks?sk=app_197184557015015&amp;referer=');">WizardWebServices</a> page &#8211; for my offline local service promotions<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/InternetMarketingApprenticePage?sk=app_4949752878" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/InternetMarketingApprenticePage?sk=app_4949752878&amp;referer=');">Internet Marketing Apprentice</a> page &#8211; set up initially to promote IMA<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/KrystalsCraftCornerCommunity/156620304440379?sk=app_267539843305128" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/pages/KrystalsCraftCornerCommunity/156620304440379?sk=app_267539843305128&amp;referer=');">KrystalsCraftCorner</a> Community page &#8211; a page for Rachel to eventually sell her craft items</p>
<p><strong>So as you can see &#8211; you can build pages for all sorts of opportunitys.</strong><br />
<strong>How</strong> &#8211; you might ask&#8230;..lol<br />
Well I&#8217;ve used a range of tools to get mine built&#8230;.<br />
For my own page I used John Thornhill &amp; Dave Nicholsons &#8216;<a href="../recommendz/lpbpro/" target="_blank">Like Page Builder</a>&#8216; &#8211; which is one of the easiest tools I&#8217;ve used due to their step by step videos <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<em>(they also have the pages hosted on a secure server with an SSL certificate &#8211; so there are no challenges with favebook showing the page since their last rule changes!)</em></p>
<p>I got a little more complex with the WizardWebServices one &#8211; as I own an SSL certificate for that domain&#8230;. But what a chew on that is! Getting the ceretificate is one thing, invloving a cost and a few emails back and forth, and then understanding all the techy aspects was enough to put me off doing that again&#8230; haha<br />
Craig my partner in IMA sorted the IMA one, so I&#8217;m not sure how he went about that. And the Northallerton Meet Up Page was a gift from the lovely <a href="http://sallyneill.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/sallyneill.com/?referer=');">Sally Neill</a> &#8211; who used a program she pays for monthly at a higher rate than <a href="../recommendz/lpbpro/" target="_blank">Like Page Builder</a>.- I like the wso pricing for the pro version of like page builder &#8211; as it includes a developer license as well as the SSL, so you could even build these for other people and charge for the service <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The one for Rachel was totally unique, in that she wanted her page to do so much more in the future, so I used a blog theme that also reduces the pages to facebook and mobile sizes, then I needed to find a way to get past the SSL certification and have facebook show the page!<br />
That was a challenge easily met by using a free service that I found on facebook!<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/SocialServer?sk=app_129405620492063" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/SocialServer?sk=app_129405620492063&amp;referer=');">Social Server</a> have a page you can go to on facebook, like it and add your name and email to use their FREE adapter!<br />
This then allows you to add your non-secure page into their system and they give you a secure link that shows your pages on facebook!</p>
<p>This was a great find for doing Rachels pages, as it meant I could add any content she wanted to her blog, and then onto the facebook page by using <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SocialServer?sk=app_129405620492063" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.facebook.com/SocialServer?sk=app_129405620492063&amp;referer=');">social server</a> to adapt it into a secure page!<br />
So once she has some better photos, she&#8217;ll be able to actually list items for sale on facebook &#8230; but do so on her like page and community, thereby getting others who visit to share the links and attract even more traffic for her.</p>
<p><strong>And at the end of the day &#8211; if we&#8217;re in business online &#8211; we do want to use facebook for traffic don&#8217;t we?</strong>&#8230; It&#8217;s not just for fun videos and pictures, or letting people know what the weather is like in our part of the world&#8230;lol<br />
In fact &#8211; with new software coming out all the time, it&#8217;s getting easier to run a business and have facebook as a major part of the traffic generation, tools like reward/reveal widgets and like page builders, as well as other sites that link our posts from blogs and twitter to facebook walls too<em> (I covered that in an earlier post with a video for twitterfeed)</em>, mean we can even make a full time living helping local business as well as building our own sites.</p>
<p><strong>Before long if you do start seeing results from facebook, you may well want to consider <a href="http://www.keybrokersocial.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.keybrokersocial.com/?referer=');">social media marketing</a> as a serious part of your online efforts.</strong> That could even lead to using other services both on and off facebook.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve seen people go to fiverr and pay for a certain number of &#8216;likes&#8217; or &#8216;comments&#8217; on their pages</strong>. Which can help you look more professional but doesn&#8217;t really bring in hoards of traffic.<br />
<strong>Other avenues to consider are facebook advertising</strong>, which unlike the big G, can still be bought very very cheaply.<br />
This would get you real and targeted visitors to your pages, and many people use these ads to drive traffic that is highly targeted yet inexpensive to pages or offers they have on their facebook like pages!<br />
I have to admit it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve discussed with people doing it, but not yet tried myself due to a bad experience with Google ads once, where I went way over budget in a matter of just a couple of hours&#8230;lol &#8211; That said in the past year alone the amount of active users of facebook has shot up to over 700 million, generating over 100 BILLION hits per day!<br />
With at least 50% of these users logging in on a daily basis. Therefore it&#8217;s obvious that there is a huge amount of traffic available using Facebook Ads!<br />
Although if I was going to be building and managing more sites for local small business as well as my own, I might well consider using a broker who could guide me in the right direction and make sure I didn&#8217;t spend more than I budgeted for. &#8211; Especially with so many small businesses now using <a href="http://www.keybrokersocial.com/facebook-for-small-businesses" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.keybrokersocial.com/facebook-for-small-businesses?referer=');">facebook for business</a>,  It&#8217;s something I believe we&#8217;ll all need to check out at some point.</p>
<p>And from figures I&#8217;ve had shared with me by people using facebook for business, It does seem to be the easiest way to get some guaranteed traffic to your facebook pages and offers.<br />
<strong>Even simple ads saying things along the lines of -<em> &#8220;If you love babies &#8211; click like&#8221;</em></strong> seem to get a very targeted response from young mums liking and thereby sharing the page with their lists of friends &#8211; who in turn pop along to check what their friend has liked and see all the goodies on offer!<br />
Another method would be using a like/reward feature, where the new prospect clicks like and then automatically adds a post to their wall saying something along the line of<em> &#8220;I just got a great freebie from xyz site&#8221;</em> &#8211; this allows them to get the freebie, cost you just one advert &#8211; but potentially goes viral as more and more of their friends visit to grab the freebie!</p>
<p>So feel free to take another look at facebook and &#8216;like&#8217; pages, and do consider using facebook ads if you have a good broker or resource to refer to, as it&#8217;s certainly getting me more and more traffic from my own efforts and I still have more methods to implement yet!</p>
<p>I hope this revisit and the resource links help <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>In this Post<br />
<strong>* Catch Up &amp; Controversy</strong><br />
<strong> * A Round Up Of WSO&#8217;s I&#8217;ve looked at</strong><br />
<strong> * Last Meet Up of 2011 (with special guest)</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====<br />
<big><big><br />
</big></big><strong><big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Here we go again&#8230;&#8230;<br />
Another post full of excuses as to why I haven&#8217;t got much done&#8230;.lol<br />
OK &#8211; we had our November meet up on the 12th, which was a great event as <a href="http://www.learn-to-blog.org/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.learn-to-blog.org/?referer=');">Mandy Allen</a> took over and put on a great workshop that everyone enjoyed and benefited from.<br />
Speaking of which &#8211; the December one is close now too &#8211; see below for details.</p>
<p>Then I fully intended to get busy last week&#8230;.but&#8230; (;))<br />
I ended up taking time out to help a daughter complete her move, more time out to help my Step Mum with some chorses that were too difficult for her now, and more time out to start the Christmas shopping!<br />
Add to that the usual dose of webinars and work for John Thornhill, updates to my membership sites, starting a new site for Rachel to sell some handmade craft items on, buying a heap of plugins and wso&#8217;s that I hope will come in useful sooner rather than later&#8230;&#8230; and I&#8217;m left wondering what to mention in this post</p>
<p>I guess I can start with a mention of <strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/IMA" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/IMA?referer=');">Internet Marketing Apprentice</a> and <a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com/?referer=');">RandysMoreMonthly</a>, as it&#8217;s those whom have the new downloads added for members <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p>Also worthy of a mention is a<strong> <a href="http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/copy-this-blog/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.johnthornhill.com/blog/copy-this-blog/?referer=');">freebie video John has just added to his brand new blog</a></strong> &#8211; It shows how he has installed and configured his cool looking new blog with a free theme that is certainly flexible!<br />
I&#8217;m very tempted myself &#8211; but it&#8217;ll probably get moved down my priority list&#8230; lol<br />
Do feel free to watch the video on John&#8217;s blog though, as he even shows you when he messes up &#8211; which proves we&#8217;re all human&#8230;.haha</p>
<p><strong>CONTROVERTIAL:</strong><br />
I also spent far too long trying to finish reading an ebook that fascinated me&#8230; totally NOT  Internet Marketing&#8230; but if you enjoy a fascinating read &#8211; check this:<br />
<strong><a href="http://thecrowhouse.com/Documents/Earths%20Forbidden%20Secrets%20Part%20One.pdf" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/thecrowhouse.com/Documents/Earths_20Forbidden_20Secrets_20Part_20One.pdf?referer=');">Earths Fobidden Secrets</a> by Max Igan of <a href="http://www.thecrowhouse.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.thecrowhouse.com?referer=');">thecrowhouse.com</a> &#8230;..</strong></p>
<p><strong>WARNING,</strong> This contains some controvertial information that some wont want to read or believe. Of particular concern is the Sumerian writings section &#8211; The Sumerian writings are perhaps the oldest record of an actual civilization that we have any real knowledge of and, through clay tablets, cylinder seals and stele, the Sumerians have provided us with a graphic and richly detailed version of mans early histories including the story of creation, both of the earth and of man. &#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>EVEN THOUGH</strong> &#8211; It has now been universally agreed by both scholars and Theologians alike that the biblical story of creation does indeed have its basis in the Babylonian ‘Enuma Elish’ which itself is undoubtedly an abbreviated versions of the much earlier Sumerian texts. This can be easily confirmed as a great many parallels that can be seen in the Sumerian account when it’s compared to the Babylonian and Christian creation stories. It appears obvious that both of the latter accounts were heavily influenced by the much longer and more detailed Sumerian story.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure some people will take offence at what theologians and historians believe. So please &#8211; if you are a creationist, I&#8217;m happy to respect your right to believe whatever you wish, I merely said I thought this was a fascinating read. And yes &#8211; I am aware that one archbishop or pope centuries ago said that<em> &#8216;The Devil came to earth early to duplicate the Bible so that when the bible was written it would look like a copy&#8217;</em>&#8230; so everyone can feel sound in their own beliefs <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<em>(If anything &#8211; creationists may love parts of this ebook, as it certainly knocks Darwin into touch with some of the Out Of Place Artifacts found over the years! <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</em></p>
<p>Anyways &#8211; You&#8217;ve been warned, and I&#8217;m only saying I thought it a fascinating read <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong>Moving on:</strong></p>
<p>Anyways&#8230;. It&#8217;s happened &#8211; I saw the TV commercials with CocaCola&#8217;s Santa and truck with lights&#8230; So I&#8217;m guessing it really must be nearly Christmas! <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
So if I don&#8217;t email again&#8230;<strong> I better wish all you USA readers a happy thanksgiving <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong>&#8230; as for the rest of us&#8230; Do we chill with the Yanks, go Christmas shopping or try and get stuff done before it really is Christmas??<br />
With only 6 weeks left of this year &#8211; I figure a bit of everything is in order <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><strong><big><big>* A Round Up Of &#8216;Some of the&#8217; WSO&#8217;s I&#8217;ve looked at:</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Yep &#8211; Once you&#8217;re in the WSO section of the warrior forum, It&#8217;s hard not to notice stuff that seems very useful and really cheap!!<br />
I wonder if anyone remembers the post I did ages ago that said more and more people would be promoting these just to earn comissions?</p>
<p>Well I could list a hundred here quite literally, but rather than jump on the me too bandwagon, I figured I&#8217;d just list the ones I&#8217;ve bought or am seriously interested in over this last week or so:<br />
Whether they fit with your own business models etc. &#8211; I don&#8217;t know &#8230; hence as usual, I would onbly suggest buying stuff you will actually use!</p>

<p><strong>WP Instant</strong><br />
I love this &#8211; all the pages and plugins easily added<br />

<p><a href="http://randolfsmith.com/checked/WPInstant">http://randolfsmith.com/checked/WPInstant</a><br />
And at a great price too!<br />
&#8212;-</p>
<p>OR &#8211; If you want EVERYTHING DONE FOR YOU<br />
<strong>Take a look at this Drip Fed Blog offer:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://randolfsmith.com/checked/DripFedBlog">http://randolfsmith.com/checked/DripFedBlog</a></p>
<p>Not cheap and I&#8217;m still considering it myself<br />
to be blatantly honest&#8230;. But it does look so<br />
tempting&#8230; especially if you tweak it once it&#8217;s<br />
set up<br />
But hey &#8211; decide for yourself<br />
It certainly seems to have a lot of potential!</p>
<p>I&#8217;d better stop at that or you&#8217;ll be telling me<br />

<p>In this Post<br />
<strong>* Catch Up</strong><br />
<strong> * The Free Gift I Promised You</strong><br />
<strong> * Competition Feedback</strong><br />
<strong> * Don&#8217;t forget the Meet Up</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====<br />
<big><big><br />
</big></big><strong><big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry to say it was a sad weekend for me and mine <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I stayed over at Rachels house saturday night, and on Sunday morning her girls got up at 8.30am ish and let the cats in and the chickens out as they love to do most mornings.</p>
<p>Rachel and I were watching TV in bed and the girls came back up to play in their room.<br />
At 9am I went downstairs to make coffees, Only to find that in that short time span someone has entered the house<br />
and helped themselves to over a hundred pounds out of my wallet. My uniquely made engagement ring <em>(inscribed with out initials and a heart)</em>, and my 48hour old iPad, along with Rachels tobacco and the girls savings jar!<br />
Naturally this lead to a good part of the day speaking to the police and csi.</p>
<p>I doubt we&#8217;ll see any of the stolen goods again. But what&#8217;s worse than losing some property &#8211; is the thought that someone chanced it and entered the house.<br />
Too many &#8220;what if&#8217;s&#8221; to think about, so now Rachel is scouring the internet looking at cctv and alarm systems!</p>
<p>We shouldn&#8217;t have to worry to live in this world, Or feel violated when we&#8217;ve done nothing wrong, but hey&#8230;<br />
It&#8217;s not a perfect world.</p>
<p>I rarely discuss religion, but for now I will say that my thoughts going out into the universe, are that the thief gets what he deserves 3 times over!<br />
Now I&#8217;ll get back to allowing the universe to right the situation and restore the balance.</p>
<p><strong>[Added Note]</strong> &#8211; I have had so many emails from subscribers and answered them all, but just in case you got caught in a spam filter and didn&#8217;t get a reply&#8230; <strong>THANK YOU to everyone for their concern and thoughts</strong>. PLUS, An update on the searching Rachel did for alarm and cctv systems&#8230;. After browsing a lot of sites and forums, she had finally convinced me that she should have a dog! &#8211; she&#8217;s wanted one for an age, but I always talked her out of it, as they are not a pet to be taken lightly, they come with responsibilities!&#8230; <strong>That said</strong> &#8211; As she found one she loved the look of in an online classified ad, Hours later&#8230;I happened to bump into my gardner from many years ago, and while chatting about the weekends events he told me of a dog he could no longer care for due to work commitments&#8230;<strong> lo and behold.</strong>&#8230; The same one Rachel had seen&#8230; so guess what, We&#8217;re off to see it today! &#8211; <strong>Perhaps the universe decided it was meant to be??</strong><br />
<strong>And if so</strong> &#8211; then it&#8217;s already working on the karma aspect of the weekends events.. so watch out criminal &#8211; Your time is running out!</p>
<p><strong>Meanwhile -</strong> I have the freebie I said I was preparing for you. It&#8217;s taken a little longer as I didn&#8217;t much feel like doing anything Sunday!<br />
But regardless &#8211; It&#8217;s done now and I sincerely hope it helps you.</p>
<p>See below for the details.<br />
There is also a reminder in this email about the meet up on Saturday, along with some details of a competition I will be running to allow 3 of my readers to get a camtasia license as a prize, and 3 to get a snagit license.</p>
<p>So on with the show <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Chat soon<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />

<p><strong><big><big>* The Free Gift I Promised You</big></big></strong><big><big><br />
</big></big><br />
OK, now for some good news <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I have just put the finishing touches on a bunch of wordpress themes I bought the rights for.</p>
<p>And knowing how big wordpress is, <strong>I&#8217;m giving you some free professional themes, with all the rights to use them, sell them or give them away yourselves</strong> <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em><strong>I&#8217;ve set the pages up to give 100 themes free just for landing on my squeeze page.</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/?referer=');"><img src="http://www.randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/images/freewp.jpg" alt="Free WordPress Themes" /></a><br />
Then for an optin the reader can claim another 200.<br />
<strong>So they get 300 professional wordpress themes FREE</strong><br />
<em>(exsisting subscribers don&#8217;t need to optin &#8211; just look for yesterdays email with the subscriber gifts page link in it)</em></p>
<p><strong>Then there is a small upsell of just $7 to download another 700 themes</strong> making a grand total of 1000 pro themes!</p>
<p><strong>AND&#8230;.</strong><br />
I think this is a major advantage for all my readers who invest the $7&#8230;<br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><strong>You also get all the pages to edit and copy the same system yourself.</strong></span></p>
<p>Hence you can generate goodwill with the free themes,<br />
Build your list with the extra 200, And monetize it with the $7 sales.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve also created 3 videos for the buyers</strong> to show step by step how to set it all up <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Part 2 and 3 are private for buyers, but part 1 is on youtube here:</span></strong><br />
<object width="560" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8UYnXzUtUy4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8UYnXzUtUy4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>For those who might be wondering how to get some traffic to the page and build their list&#8230;<br />
I would suggest things like</p>
<p>Mailing whatever list you may have,</p>
<p>Posting on Twitter, Facebook and other social sites.</p>
<p>Adding a forum sig to your forum profiles,</p>
<p>Or better yet,<br />
Join some giveaways using <a href="../recommends/PBG2/" target="_blank">Keiths Push Button Giveaways 2.0</a></p>
<p>Or learn how to run your own giveaway free with <a href="../recommends/TGM/" target="_blank">Kerry &amp; John&#8217;s course at The Giveaway Masterclass</a></p>
<p><strong>Anyways</strong><br />
You can see the first page here:<br />
<strong><a href="http://randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/?referer=');">http://randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/</a></strong></p>
<p>Naturally it&#8217;s up to you to decide whether the $7 investment in the extra themes and the website will help in your online efforts, So I&#8217;ll leave it to you to check the page and the video <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I hope the themes come in useful even if you don&#8217;t use them to build your business <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Pop over and collect your<strong> <a href="http://www.randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmith.co.uk/FreeThemes/?referer=');">300 free wordpress themes</a></strong> now:</p>
<p>Enjoy <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

</big></big></small></small></big></big>=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>* Competition Feedback</big></big></strong></p>
<p>I mentioned that I have 3 snagit and 3 camtasia licenses up for grabs and asked for feedback on what to have as a competition for my readers and subscribers,<br />
Most suggestions involved things like<br />
Who could generate the most traffic to my site,<br />
Or make the most affiliated sales of my products,<br />
Or create videos linking to me,<br />
Or guest posting on my blog</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p><strong>What I really wanted to try and do</strong> was to ensure that even newbies who are struggling to get started could stand a chance of winning, as I know many struggle and would love a camtasia or snagit license, but could never afford one.</p>
<p>So I have come up with something that will help me to know what you find useful, AND will help people take action,<br />
AND may help others in the process. All the while giving everyone a fair chance to win.<em> (everyone that takes action that is)</em></p>
<p>So watch out for my email in a few days that will give you the details of how you can enter and win <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Trust me &#8211; this will be something for everyone <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And hey &#8211; even if you already have copies of these products<br />
You could win another, and hold your own competition to give away your prize <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What I also want to do is ensure that loyal readers like you get a better chance of winning&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>So here&#8217;s a heads up:</strong></p>
<p>When you&#8217;re on the subscriber gifts page after joining my list to grab your free wordpress themes&#8230; or reading yesterdays email if you&#8217;re already on it<br />
Do take note of any other freebies you&#8217;ve downloaded in the past!<br />
The competition will be based on telling others which freebie you found most useful and why.</p>
<p>More details to come &#8211; but you might want to give that  question some thought<br />
<em>(Just don&#8217;t do anything yet til I announce the competition)</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be a fun one <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Warm Regards<br />

<p>In this Post<br />
<strong>* Catch Up</strong><br />
<strong> * The Giveaway Masterclass (FREE)</strong><br />
<strong> * Facebook Optin App</strong><br />
<strong> * Don&#8217;t forget the Meet Up</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====<br />
<big><big><br />
</big></big><strong><big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Not much of a Catch up as I&#8217;ve just been steady away working behind the scenes on my new sites and doing stuff for John Thornhill<br />
<em>(&amp; he&#8217;s such a slave driver!!) .</em>.<br />
OK &#8211; He&#8217;s a nice slave driver&#8230; but he still wont give me more cash without me doing more work&#8230;lol<br />
That said I have nearly finished preparing hundreds of WP Themes for my readers&#8230; so watch this space <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So anyways &#8211; he and Kerry Russel teamed up to GIVE you the first product I&#8217;m going to mention, So I suggest you take a look as it&#8217;s free!</p>
<p>The next is an app for getting REAL email addresses and making subscribing to your sites easier than ever!<br />
See what you think <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>** Meanwhile</strong>, I have added over 40 downloads to my membership at<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.randysmoremonthly.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randysmoremonthly.com/?referer=');">www.RandysMoreMonthly.com</a></strong><br />
<strong>So if you&#8217;re a member do log in and grab anything useful <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>And if you&#8217;re not</strong> &#8211; isn&#8217;t it worth considering trying it for a month just to grab over 40 IM related products<em> (With PLR or MRR)</em> for just $14 ??<br />
<em>(MoreMonthlyPlus download area has also been updated  <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</em></p>
<p><strong>ALSO:</strong><br />
I do have some cool IM stuff coming for you soon.<br />
<em>(Some free wp themes&#8230;nearly done, and a competition to WIN a free Camtasia and snagit license! &#8230; more on those soon)</em><br />
Meanwhile check out the links below and see if they can help you <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Chat soon<br />

<p><strong><big><big>* The Giveaway Masterclass (FREE)</big></big></strong><big><big><br />
</big></big><br />
As you may have noticed,<br />
This year I&#8217;ve been getting involved with giveaway events as they are a great way to build a list and get started online.<br />
I do keep mentioning <strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/PBG2" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/PBG2?referer=');">Push Button Giveaways2.0</a></strong></p>
<p>Login, Find an event, add some products and promote the event and hope that other people do the same and some people opt-in to receive your gifts.<br />
However, the real winner is the host of the giveaway event as they capitalize on the efforts of everyone promoting the event.<br />
So the best way to become really successful using giveaways is to create your own event right?</p>
<p>Think about that for a minute, you run an event and invite contributors. Each contributor promotes your event and you reap the rewards.</p>
<p>I know this works as I co hosted an event with Keith Purkiss a couple of months agao and added over 400 subscribers to my own lists!</p>
<p>So would you be interested in creating your own event, for free?</p>
<p>Yes, you read that right, John Thornhill and Kerry Russell have been working on something with that will show you how to create your own event for free.<br />
I&#8217;ve said enough, go and find out for yourself, and remember!<br />
This can be done for free and you can get started right away.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM?referer=');">http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM</a></strong></p>
<p>And yes &#8211; there is an upsell to have it all done for you&#8230;<br />
But as usual &#8211; you&#8217;ll need to decide for yourself whether you want to follow the masterclass and do the work yourself, or take the easier route if finances permit <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM?referer=');">http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM</a></strong></p>
<p>Either way &#8211; free is free and quality courses like this don&#8217;t come along everyday of the week <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><big><big><small><small><big><big><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>Randy</strong></em></span></big></big></small></small></big></big><big><big><small><small><big><big><br />
</big></big></small></small></big></big>=====</p>
<p><strong><big><big>* Facebook Optin App</big></big></strong></p>
<p>The Facebook Optin App is now live.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/FBapp" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/FBapp?referer=');">http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/FBapp</a></strong></p>
<p>This app will allow you to make subscribing to your lists easier, AND it gets REAL email addresses that people use for their facebook accounts&#8230; so it should help with building a more responsive and genuine list for you.<br />
Check it out if you&#8217;ve not seen it yet <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Just watch the video on the page:</p>

<p>In this Post<br />
<strong>* Catch Up</strong><br />
<strong> * A Freebie Worth Reading</strong><br />
<strong> * Advanced Notice Before The Big Boys Tell You &#8211; Another Cool Freebie</strong><br />
<strong> * Learn With Sally&#8230;. Very Interesting!</strong><br />
<strong> * Don&#8217;t forget the Meet Up</strong><br />
<strong> * Sign Off</strong></p>
<p>=====<br />
<big><big><br />
</big></big><strong><big><big>* Catch Up</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Just another quickie in terms of a catch up,<br />
I&#8217;ve still been working on <strong><a href="http://www.wizardwebservices.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.wizardwebservices.com/?referer=');">WizardWebServices (for Businesses in and around Northallerton who would like some website help)</a></strong> so I haven&#8217;t done a lot with my online stuff.<br />
That said I have been checking a few new products in between updating the site and reinstalling a script 5 times so far cos I keep messing it up&#8230;lol<br />
<em>(It makes me smile to see I can still mess things up and not know where I went wrong&#8230; But I&#8217;m determined to sort this fiddly script without asking for help&#8230;.<strong> IF I can</strong>!)</em></p>
<p><strong>I did find a cool free plugin</strong> to add thumbnails to the portfolio page of the site, the ones that you can click on to see a larger image and have a html link in the description!<br />
If you need something that does that &#8211; check out &#8211; <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/?referer=');">Next Gen Gallery<br />
</a>A free download and does a great job&#8230;. Here&#8217;s a page I created using the plugin:<br />
<a href="http://wizardwebservices.com/gallery" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/wizardwebservices.com/gallery?referer=');">http://wizardwebservices.com/gallery</a></p>
<p>So there&#8217;s one free plugin already&#8230;..<br />
<strong>Now onto the subject&#8230;.</strong><br />
<strong> It Never Rains But It Pours&#8230;.lol</strong><br />
It seems I&#8217;ve gone from having not a lot to recommend, to seeing a good few cool products and programs in the last couple of weeks!<br />
So I&#8217;ve mentioned another 3 below &#8211; two free and one paid product!<br />
As usual &#8211; take a look and decide for yourself whether any of them fit in with where your business is going <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Chat soon<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong><big><big><small><small><big><big>Randy</big></big></small></small></big></big></strong></em></span><br />

<p><strong><big><big>* A Freebie Worth Reading</big></big></strong><big><big><br />
</big></big><br />
As mentioned, I&#8217;ve spent most of the week getting my offline site built, along with a mobile version facebook like page, and all the various parts to have it ready<br />
to be seen, ;)<br />
Meanwhile &#8211; I have had an email or three between myself and Alex Jeffreys about his latest free report.</p>
<p>Starting with his affiliate manager, and then getting Alex himself to email me.<br />
Long story short, I&#8217;ve known him since 2006/7<br />
Anyways &#8211; I&#8217;ve already seen a few people mention the report called<strong> <a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/Unreported" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/Unreported?referer=');">&#8216;Unreported Marketing&#8217;</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>But I didn&#8217;t want to promote it UNTIL I had read it myself!</strong></p>
<p>I got my copy just before launch Tuesday night, but I wasn&#8217;t at home &#8230; tch!<br />
So I&#8217;ve read the whole thing this yesterday <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And being honest, I&#8217;m impressed. <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Listen, I didn&#8217;t want to use the copy &amp; paste email extoling the virtues of it.<br />
I would rather just be straight forward and tell you it&#8217;s worth reading!<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/Unreported" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/Unreported?referer=');">http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/Unreported</a></strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing techy on there to learn, but the story of Alex&#8217;s up&#8217;s and down&#8217;s carries a lot of personal lessons!<br />
PLUS &#8211; Having known and seen his progress over the years, I know all the little querks he mentions first hand.<br />
<em>(Heck I even spoke to the cartoon character he mentions, <strong>BEFORE</strong> I knew it was my good friend Sally Neill&#8230;.lol)</em></p>
<p>I also knew of some of the challenges he hit while growing his business first hand, and even tried to offer my support.<br />
But here he is, lessons learned and still raking in mega money!<br />
So I do feel reading his report will benefit many of my readers:</p>
<p>Hence I recommend you pop over and grab a copy, then read it as soon as possible, as there is a chance to leave him comments and win some coaching!<br />
<strong>Here&#8217;s the link for you</strong><br />

<p>OH, I&#8217;ll have some free wordpress themes for you in a few days, once I find time to get them uploaded, so I&#8217;ll update you as soon as they&#8217;re ready <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Meanwhile &#8211; check out Alex&#8217;s report, and I&#8217;ll talk to you soon.<br />
Later<br />

<p><strong><big><big>* Advanced Notice Before The Big Boys Tell You &#8211; Another Cool Freebie</big></big></strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a site that doesn&#8217;t officially launch til next week, so the big boys don&#8217;t have it in their schedule to tell you about yet&#8230;haha<br />
I&#8217;ve seen kerry working on this since April, and she&#8217;s packed a heap of content into it, <strong>as it was due to be on sale for $127</strong> !!!</p>
<p>However &#8211; she&#8217;s partnered up with John Thornhill on it and <strong>John convinced her to GIVE IT AWAY!</strong><br />
of course there will be an offer etc. &#8211; But you can access the main product for free  AND you can get in now and even promote your link BEFORE the big list owners if you&#8217;re quick!</p>
<p>So whether it&#8217;s just to learn from the product or to get a link out before the big boys &#8211; I would suggest you hurry along to the main page at:<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM?referer=');">http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/TGM</a></strong></p>
<p>And it gets even better becasue you don&#8217;t need any previous skills or experience, and it&#8217;s guaranteed to make you money from day one if you just watch the video&#8217;s and do as Kerry and John do.<br />
<strong>Kerry used this exact same system to go from newbie marketer, who struggled to build a TINY list of just 60 to EXPERT list builder who went on to add OVER 2600 subscribers to her list in just 90 days and generated OVER $1500 in sales.</strong></p>
<p>Some would say that they have gone mad because not only have they created a STEP BY STEP video course showing you how to do EXACTLY the same&#8230;.They are giving it away for FREE!<br />
Why don&#8217;t you go check out. I just know you will be impressed!<br />
<strong>And it&#8217;s TOTALLY free,</strong> so what do you have to lose expect a few minutes of your time<br />

<p><strong><big><big>* Learn With Sally&#8230;. Very Interesting!</big></big></strong></p>
<p>For one of the very few times I ever do this &#8211; I&#8217;m actually recommending a product I&#8217;ve not had access to <em>(yet)</em><br />
But let me explain!</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t something from some stranger who is just after making sales etc.<br />
This is from my very good friend <strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS?referer=');">Sally Neill</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Sally launched her own coaching program learn With Sally while I was on my holidays and I completely missed the chance to ask if I could take a look.<br />
With one thing and another I haven&#8217;t had time to give her a shout to ask for a nosey&#8230;.. <strong>BUT</strong></p>
<p>Yes &#8211; there has to be a but&#8230;lol &#8211; I do know a good number of the people who&#8217;ve taken<strong> <a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS?referer=');">Sally&#8217;s Coaching</a></strong>, and I&#8217;ve been touring their blogs and keeping an eye on whet they&#8217;ve been up to&#8230;<br />
And let me tell you<strong> the progress I&#8217;ve seen these guys make is nothing short of astounding!</strong></p>
<p>People have learned a massive ammount and taken action to increase their lists, income and experiences online. They&#8217;ve faced their fears and together with Sallys gentle Kicks in the rear &#8211; they&#8217;ve grown their businesses by leaps and bounds.<br />
So yeah &#8211; I signed up as an affiliate and took a quick look at what&#8217;s on offer.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what yopu get if you check out <a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS?referer=');"><strong>Learn With Sally &#8211; The Replays!</strong><br />
</a></p>
<p><strong>LWS Replay Package includes:</strong></p>
<p>Module 1: Blogging Superstar – Webinar Replay + 9 Video tutorials</p>
<p>Module 2: Traffic Foundations – Webinar Replay + 9 Video tutorials</p>
<p>Module 3 Social Media Succes – Webinar Replay + 12 Video Tutorials</p>
<p>Module 4: Video Mania Part 1 (Learn Camtasia) – Webinar Replay + 6 Video Tutorials</p>
<p><strong>So that&#8217;s 36 videos AND 4 webinars that were pure content and no pitching!</strong></p>
<p>Knowing Sally personally and having seen the progress her students have made, I recommend popping over and checking out her coaching to see what she has to say about it.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS?referer=');">http://www.randolfsmith.com/likes/LWS</a></strong></p>
<p>And I will be giving her a shout and asking for a review copy so I can mention it again once I&#8217;ve taken a full tour of the inside <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
But without even seeing it all &#8211; I am sure it&#8217;s a product that can and will help a lot of my readers, so I didn&#8217;t want to delay in sending you the link.<strong> Hope that&#8217;s OK with you <img src='http://randolfsmith.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
