“Twitter Ye Not” – Frankie Howerd.
Sorry, but I’ll have to disagree with Frankie there. I can now Tweet you from the web, Tweet you using Twitter Tools from my blog, Tweet you from TweetDeck, and Tweet on your Twitterberry (is that right, Nicola?). Still need to hone my skills with hashtags, RT(?) etc. but I’m moving in the right direction. Twittertastic!
I also have some ads for my blog page after I managed to eventually discover that Adsense needed to be activated using widgets (thanks Steve). I hope to install a forum plugin over the weekend and I also now have a new Wordpress theme to play with, Thesis. I have made a few tweaks to it, but I can’t immediately see from the design options section how to start really giving it the look I want. I’m sure this is down to my ignorance as Thesis is said to be one of the best and most versatile themes available, and if I’ve learnt anything in the past few weeks, it’s that the answer is always hidden in there somewhere!
I still aim to carry on working as hard as possible on the site during the next couple of weeks and see where it is up to then. I have made quite a lot of progress from scratch over nearly two months now, and I couldn’t have done it without the Membership Club Magic programme. Nicola has been very helpful too, keeping me on my toes and definitely helping me to move along faster. But, to be clear, the majority of the direction, instruction, and ideas is contained within the programme webinars and ‘how-to’ videos, so I would highly recommend it to anyone considering setting up a website along these lines.
Having said all that, no site will be a success without you own commitment, ideas, and vision. I have had a couple of minor setbacks with my initial free offer idea, so that is taking longer than I’d hoped but I am waiting for some feedback on my third attempt now and I need to come up with another couple of ideas should that also not come off. I won’t stop until something is sorted! I also need to keep on top of my vision for the site and replace ideas that have already fallen by the wayside. My site traffic has been steady for the last couple of weeks, with a healthy mix of direct, search engine, and site referral traffic. Visit numbers are on course to increase this week.
So, it’s just keep going really! Thanks to everyone who has been watching my progress on the google groups and via the Money Gym blog. You can now follow me on Twitter too (my new favourite thing!). My Twitter name is PortsmouthMatt.
