Named one of the "TOP 6" Marketing Consultants: About.com 2011

Now is your chance to MAKE-OVER your Blog to Achieve greater results in less time! This is NOT tips and tricks! It’s REAL training!!

 

Blog! Everyone says you need a blog. So you write. You post. You stress about what to write again. And after several posts, and hardly any traffic, let alone comments, you wonder why spend all the time? Well, blogging, when done RIGHT, is cornerstone to driving more traffic, engaging on Social Media sites, increasing opt-ins to your auto-responder, and eventually more paying customers! But it doesn’t matter how much you post if no one is reading them!

 

You might think you are doing the right thing. And maybe you are. But don’t you wish you had a EXPERT EYE that could take a look and give some feedback? What about a built in group of people ready to comment on it so it grows on search engines? This intensive was made for you. Spend 5 weeks with Ann and other bloggers and your blog will make REAL improvements (starts Thursday February 2 at 3pm PT/6pm ET through March 1, 2012 for 90 minutes).


Learn the smartest, simplest tips to maximize your blog for visibility in this powerful intensive!

 

“My blog traffic has gone up 74% on last month and I have had 815 visits (and it’s still includes a few days of my vacation). I have never had that many visitors before. Organic searches are at 14%. I am seeing an improvement already!” Louise

  • The single biggest mistake bloggers make;
  • Why your title really does matter;

I learned a great deal, 5 main blog topics and GoogleAdWords – the beginning of knowing how to search for keywords, etc. Thanks Ann, loving the overwhelm feeling. Keep encouraging me to move forward and not stay stuck because it’s so much info. ~Janice N.

This intensive will meet once a week via phone and screen share (webinar), for 1.5 hours, over the week you will work to make changes on your blog and comment on others blogs to attract traffic to yours. In addition, you will have access to a private group on facebook (you will need to friend Ann for access to the group) for continued support and questions throughout the week. Ann will coach you to bring success to the next level! In addition, you will make quality connections with other savvy business people and bloggers!

My biggest takeaway (it was a whole meal on wheels) is why I am blogging. Not to write. Not to dream. To connect with my audience and let them know I am the expert. To reel them in. To engage and to teach. The Parable Philosophy. I LOVE IT. I have a fountain of ideas – I only wish I could have written the six articles at once this morning. Instead of one. about my pot of coffee – the simple lesson that connects.~ Jen D.
