This week on the Partnership To Success course we are on the subject of advanced blogging.

John has shown us various different elements we can add to our blogs if we want to.

Below is a list of the various elements we have been shown.

• Adding images
• Adding videos
• Adding content to header and footer
• Adding banner ads to posts
• Widgets
• Legal disclaimers

The elements we add are totally of our own choosing so it is a case of our personal choice of what we wanted to add or not.

At the moment I have added some images and a legal disclaimer as I am quite happy with everything else as it is.

I may later use some of the other elements as and when I feel there is a need for them on my blog. The main thing here is we have been given some extra choices to use as and where we see fit to use them.

This week  on the Partnership To Success course we are still in the list building phase, we are creating a pop up opt in form to go on our blogs

First of all I had to set up a new list in Aweber. I then had to write a new confirmation email so that when anyone subscribes to my list they will be thanked and told what will happen next.

The next step was to upload some graphics to my blog these graphics will make part of the opt in form that I am putting onto my blog. Read the rest of this entry

Ok so I have just completed week 4 of the Partnership To Success course. This week it was a little bit more technical which was ok for me as I quite enjoy the technical side of things. So here is a run down of what I have been up to on the course.

Register an account with Aweber this is an auto responder that will help to build mailing lists of subscribers you can check them out here.

We then had to setup a list, a confirmation message and an opt-in form in aweber then we added our opt-in form onto our blogs. Read the rest of this entry

This week on Partnership To Success we had to block or unblock the ad categories in our Google Adsense account. What this does is lets us choose what type of ads we want or don’t want shown on our blogs or websites.

So as an example the content on my blog here at www.robertchenery.com is based around Internet marketing so I would want ads showing that relate to the content on my blog which is Internet Marketing and Business.

So I can restrict Google from showing ads about Dating or Dining Out and other non related topics. Read the rest of this entry

Week 2 Partnership To Success

Ok so here I am on week 2 of John Thornhill’s Partnership To Success program & I am really enjoying it so far.

So this week we have had to install a new theme on our wordpress blogs this gives it a totally different appearance. Below is an image of how the old blog looked when I first set it up. If you compare it to how it looks now you will see that there is a huge difference. Read the rest of this entry

Ok this week is week one of the Partnership To Success course. I will take you through what we have learned so far. Some of the tutorials I had already done as I do have a little bit of background knowledge and already had some things in place before I started the Partnership To Success programme.

We were first taught how to research for a domain name that reflected who we are so ideally for me the best domain name is robertchenery.com fortunately I do already own this domain name so I didn’t need to undertake this task.

The next step was to register our domain name and webhosting with D9 hosting .We then had to set up an email account and test it to make sure everything was working ok. I again already had hosting and already had registered my domain name. Read the rest of this entry
