In this module #3 which Alex calls ‘Social Media Money’, Alex explains why it is important to set up a blog (an online diary) in the process of building traffic. It might not be comfortable for everyone to start writing a blog especially if it involves themselves. What Alex is telling us to do is use this coaching program and in particular write about the progress we are making toward becoming a successful Internet Marketer.

We should be relaxed and write openly about our journey how we start off as a newbie to internet marketer and the progress we make.  We need to come across as genuine person who people will come to like and trust.  Alex encourages us to make our blog posts conversational as if speaking to our best friend. In our blog we need to align ourselves with Alex so that gives us instant credibility.

Writing a blog about our activity actually makes us accountable and you also get instant feedback from the market.

What we need to do is add great value to our blog so that people will want to come back for more. They recognize that we have something to offer and they want to find out more.

The blog needs to have traffic i.e. people need to come to our blog. Once we have people coming to our blog we want to bring them in to our funnel, which first collects their names, so we can market to them later.

The homework here does not look to much and I should be able to do this in time before the next module.

In all this session lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes. After a 10 minute break we went in to the question and answer session which lasted another 90 minutes. What with long days driving and these late sessions I find it difficult to stay awake during the question sessions. At least I will be able to replay the recording and go over things again. I know that what I write here is a fraction of what Alex is telling us and I just have time to scribble down the main points, but what I might decide to do at the end of this course is to expand these notes by going over the recordings again and compiling my own e-book to make available to anyone following my progress.

If you consider this informative and would like to have an e-book that goes into more detail, please let me know in your comment.

I will be reporting next on the homework from this module.
