Dean, I got your e-book on setting up a blog. I am a currently a student of Alex jeffreys ( great is’nt he) any way I am very much a newbie. When you talk about seting up a domain name and website, are you talkink about a different on from what I have already set up with Alex and his coaching programme or the same one.

Hi again Dean, you seem to be getting loads of comments, well done my boy.
Sitting here with laptop on my knees listening to the rain lashing
against the window and the near gale force wind.
I’m in Cornwall just about 3 miles inland from the Atlantic, my North Westerly
horizon. listening to nit I for one wouild not want to be on any yacht tomorrow, best of luck Alex Jeffreys hope you have a supply of paper bags!
Wonder if you have looked at the Forum I have put up yet. If not pop over and register, there are already around 20 members and posts are already picking up in number, excellent
link is http://www.g4usbmarketing.com/forum
I have just changed my blog theme for a three column one with widgets and have been working at editing and fine tuning. At last after 4 days
analytics has started to work so I had done it ok it just took that long to kick in. Learning all thre time.
Anyway, nic eto touch base with another friend I have yet to meet.

Dean…
I’ve been searching through your ebook and your site regarding your affiliate link. I was looking to find out how to change it the way you did using http://www.deanholland/uses/hostgator
I keep looking for the details but can’t find it. Is that something you can share with me?
Much appreciated,

Dean,
That report was a great 30 page read!
For someone who might see WordPress as the devil, you really turn it into an angel!
A recommended resource for anyone wanting to setup a blog!

Hi Dean !
Happy to see you’re business is booming !
I am a student of Alex Jeffrey. I left you my email address in the opt in box to get your book and I have read it.
I must say it’s very professional !
My blog is not ready yet since I’m having some problems because I already had accounts with WordPress and Hostgator and I made a mess !
So if people type the name of my website they will be redirected to Alex’s page which is at marcelbonin.com/listbuilding.
It’ll be ready soon ! (just gotta fix a couple things first)
Anyway, I’ll let you know when it’s ready.
Thanks !
Your book is great ! (can’t wait to pass it around …)
Marcel.

You eBook is great. I have some questions about the mechanics of the books construction. I have been working on content for my own ebook and would like to discuss the options I have found for going from my text into the actual book ready for distribution. I look foward to hearing from you.

“Hi folks

This is because your site(s) are not currently indexed within the Google search engine just yet. Give it a few days, keep on posting to your blog and eventually it will be indexed.
You may find that your sites are indexed more quickly in Yahoo and MSN though.

Hi, my name is Paul Hamilton and I am also one of Alex’s students. I just thought I would say Hi. I haven’t had chance to pop by and say Hi before because I am playing catch up. It’s really brilliant to see the progress you have made in such a short space of time. [good on you!].I downloaded your ebook and it’s really good. I wonder if you could do me a big favour and add me to your blogroll, and maybe you would pay my site a visit and leave a comment. Thanks very much. Paul

Dean, a great e-book and a non techy way of writing. For me thats a big thing as I am a newbie on Alex jeffreys coaching programme. He is a wonderful mentor and provides great support. Just trying to get the platform launched at present so its not easy if not done before. You have achieved a lot in a short space of time. Congratulations, I’ll be back!!!

Hey Dean!
Just finished your ebook, great job for sure! I’m taking baby steps here for now making sure that I stay focused!
One thing I wondered if anyone else has had trouble getting unmuted from the Webinar’s? I have yet to figure that one out! Tried several times but no luck?
Take care Dean!

Hi Dean,
Glad to see you got everything up and running. I love the ebook. You have inspired me to create on of my own. I have given it top priority on my list of goals for 2009.
I am having a video creation marathon this weekend to make tutorials for our fellow students and am taking requests. Go by my Hub page and vote on which topic you would like me to cover. If you don’t see the topic you want, go to my blog and make a suggestion and I will add it to the poll.
Since you have such a big following, I would appreciate it if you could help me get the word out. The more input I get, the more I can help our fellow students get up to speed.

Hi Dean. I’m having trouble following your ebook. where you need to paste the google analytics code. I can’t find anything that resembles “design” and “theme editor” in my blog admin in hostgator (wordpress)
Can you help me?

Hi Dean. I visited your site based on a response you made on Warrior Forum. I use Firefox 3.0.4 and cannot see your form to enter my details. I had to come back using IE (ugh!) to fill the form. This is not the first site I have visited that has this challenge.

Hi Dean,
I am just giving myself a big pat on the back why! because i have just got my blog set up and as i am a newbie it is a big step in the right direction and it was all down to your book so thanks a lot mate.
Anyway mate i was just wandering is there any chance you can pop over and take a look at it for me, i know it is not the best but it is a start and as Alex says just get it out there and tweak it later so that is what i have done but i am not sure i have chosen a very good theme for the blog, also mate what plug ins would you recommend i would love to add my own blogroll of students, anyway take a look mate and any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
My blog is at http://www.grahamscarisbrick.com
Thanks a lot mate and keep up the awesome job you are doing.
Graham.

TESTIMONIAL
Without your book I’d still be trying to put all the pieces together and getting nowhere fast. Tonight I have found a theme I liked for my blog, followed your instructions for installing a blog through Fantastico, changing the theme, installing Google Analytics, made my first post, installed a couple of plug-ins, set up dedicated email addresses…the list goes on!
With your book I’ve gone from having no web presence and lots of confusion, to having a fully functional blog in literally a couple of hours. Your instructions are straightforward and easy to follow even for those of us that aren’t that tech-minded!
Absolutely brilliant – thank you so much!

Hi Dean,
Your ebook was great reading for me. Someone beat me to the punch about the WordPress 2.7 problem with adding Google Analytics. Please let me know how to insert the code in the new format. You might want to take a look at my website to see my review of your ebook. Also how did you insert your link for Hostgator in the text?
Thanks

Hey Bob
I have upgraded to WordPress 2.7 and use Semilogic’s google analytics widget to add the google analytics code to my blog.
It is super easy to set up. you can get it at http://www.semiologic.com/software/marketing/google-analytics/
or read about how i used it here: http://ryans1.com/online-business-building/setting-up-google-analytics
Let us know if it works for you.

Hello Dean, Wow just what I was looking for to complement my new wordpress video package.
I emailed a lot of my marketing friends to find something that I could give-away or sell for a very very low cost to build my list.
Then I was offered the videos with resale rights so I spent the last week setting out the platform to sell these. It was a learning experience as you well know with your ebook,
example trying to get the videos to download automatically and setting up the pages with paypal to link to each other as well as a-weber.
Well after many hours I am ready to
showcase my first project.
Please tell your visitors about this new DVD set that shows the techniques and strategies in WordPress such as how to set up the plug ins, how to drive traffic and how to make money using your blog.
I asked the software developer if I could give this away to build my list and he said no but he did tell me I could sell it for the price of a McDonalds Lunch witch everyone could afford, Your book and my videos will work great together. Check out my videos here,

Thanks for the Book
Sincerely Vince

Wanted to give you a big thanks for your Blog Set Up Guide! Very interesting and I wish to send it to several friends, as blogging is still a mystery to them! The mystery for me was how to make money from my blog and that mystery is unraveling thanks to the Golden Week Giveaway, thanks for being there Dean. I have book marked your blog. And have I have just downloaded your book Blog Traffic and I sincerely look forward to reading it. Please see my blog: popevictoria.blogspot.com. Caribbean Online is all about things in life that I enjoy here! I just opened an account at HubPages, will let you know when its up and going. Have to confess I fell into a slump with my blog and now I am fully motivated again. I have to change style and find that my friends and family prefer my first blog, over all the rest. It is exciting to learn again as I am a former newspaper writer and photographer, and the online world is immense! I live in St. Martin, French Caribbean, aboard my yacht with my family. Here’s to you mate, thanks again! regards Victoria (oceanquill)

Hello Dean,
Just finished reading through your Blog Setup Guide and I thought it was well written and the material presented quite clearly and simply. Interesting that I just started my first blog a day before I received this Guide – it would definitely have shortened my setup time. Very useful information presented.
In my opinion, it is a ‘must read’ for anyone about to set up a blog. Congratulations on a first rate ‘ first product’.
Regards,
Richard

Dean, I have been trying to get an email through to you for weeks. I have tried the telephone number that was given and the support email address when I started the turbotrafficsystem courses. I am requesting a confirmation from you or your team that handles customer issues. I have stopped the recurring payments at my bank. I did not want to say this to you on a public medium but you left me no choice.
