The BlogTactics Blog Setup Guide Videos Page is back up, listing all 55 current videos, that’s almost 3 hours worth of wordpress blog lessons!

I think it’s worth mentioning that some marketing/blogging “guru’s” are also offering similar videos, but they charge you for them.

I set up BlogTactics to share what I have learnt (and am still learning) about blogging and I intend to keep adding more useful videos here for you for free.

I don’t need to earn a living from this blog, I have many other websites, blogs and info products that take care of that for me, although I do sometimes recommend products that cost money, but only those which I am using myself and have found valuable to my own business.

and I tend to “promote” them by making a video for you to show exactly how to use them and how they work, so that it’s easy for you to decide whether they have value to your own online business…

You can view the whole list on the BlogTactics Videos page, but I thought I’d give you a quick recap on some of the more popular ones: -

Wow!

not only did 2007 zoom by, but 2008 seems to be trying to do the same…

I can’t believe this is my first post of 2008 on here, sorry about that!

I do have an “excuse” though, I’ve been fairly busy working on a few new projects that are almost ready for release.

the new BlogTactics WordPress themes are done and I’ll be adding them along with some videos on how to get the most out of them over the next week or so, as they have some fairly neat “features” built in.

I’ll also be posting a bunch of new videos to help you make the most of your blogs in 2008

The new videos include:

1. adding a RSS directory Ping List to your WordPress blog, including where to get my list of sites to ping to use
2. how to get backlinks from your facebook profile page
3. making a favicon for your site
4. adding a favicon to your blog or website
5. using Stumbleupon.com to stumble your sites for traffic
6. adding the Technorati widget to your blog
7. adding the MyBlogLog widget to your blog
8. adding the BlogCatalog widget to your blog
9. increasing your alexa rank
10. setting up a squidoo page
11. using hubpages for traffic

It’s been over a week since I added any new tips, for which I apologise!

I’m working on a new set of videos and tips which will inclde stuff like how to configure your blog, how to add plugins and themes, and how to configure them, as well as which you need to use, as well as some other essential web 2 stuff.

If you want to get staright in to the web 2 stuff to start getting traffic to your site then check out Atomic Blogging by Alvin Phang, who’s a real cool guy (I’ve spoken with him quite a few times over the last month) and he knows his stuff.

I only started this blog at the end of July (24th) and didn’t start posting regularly until August 20th, and yet this month I’ve already had over 600 visits!

How?

2 reasons, first I read Alvin’s Atomic Blogging and have used what he shows in the manual, and it works!

Second, I’ve been using some video submissions as well, which you can read about here IMTesting

I’m not going to claim to be a blogging pro, I’m an internet marketer and I use blogs as just one part of my business to make money online.

I use them for two reasons, first they’re so simple to set up and run, and second they are very effective.

I’ve set up this blog to share what I have learnt so far about running a successful blog, as well as what I learn in the future.

I’m going to start with the basic stuff, so if you’re already up and running with your blog then you may want to come back again in a couple of weeks once I’ve gone through all the beginner stuff.

Wherever possible I use videos to show you how to do the different things necessary to get up and running and optimize your blog, as it tends to be a lot quicker and easier to follow a video where you see me demonstrating what you need to do, rather than having to follow long winded text instructions.
