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: -

I’ve been working on a Blog Carnival Submission service, it started as a project for my own business, but I figured as it works so well for me, I should be offering it to you as well!

I’ve been using the service myself for a few weeks now, but I’d like to introduce a just a few new people to make sure it’s absolutely spot on before I “go public” with it, so this is your opportunity to get in early…

If you’d like to get a free month’s worth of Blog Carnival Submission service then there’s two ways you can do so: -

1. Pick up a copy of Alvin Phang’s excellent Atomic Blogging using the link below and send a copy of your receipt to me -

My apologies, it’s been a little while since I’ve added a new video or new post, and next week is likely to be quite as well simply because I’m moving and and things are a bit “up in the air” right now.

However, my wonderful coder has managed to finish off another plugin for me, it’s a simple to use plugin that allows you to activate or de-activate multiple plugins at one time, so when you are setting up a new blog you no longer need to activate the plugins one by one!

I know this is going to save me a LOT of time!

I don’t often reveal my niche/test blogs, but if you pay attention in this video you’ll see a 2 or 3, including one that is not only totally automated, but also gets 100+ unique visitors a day without me doing anything to it since I set it up..

I even show you the stats, and if you pause the video and ignore the blip in March caused by the host, you can see that the traffic is actually growing month on month, and I’ve not even used any of my backlink strategies on this blog, as it was set up as a test for this plugin.

I guess you can say I’m pleased with the results!!!

So what’s this video about?

well, there’s a free WordPress plugin that you can use to have uniques content articles posted to your blog every day totally automatically, making the blog “hands free”.

I would still recommend posting your own content if it’s one of your “main” blogs, but this free plugin is a real time saver for sutomating “niche” blogs in different markets, and can easily be used to supplement your own blog posts if you find it difficult to post something every day..

BlogCatalog sent out an email earlier today mentioning a new blog widget from a site called JargonFish that’s supposed to “helpful resources” to your blog content.

it works by highlighting keywords in your posts that when a visitor click on will bring up a new “floating” box with these “helpful resources” in.

when you set up the widget you can choose which “resources” your widget displays, including Yahoo News, Flickr, Technorati, BlogCatalog, Amazon and ebay.

now here’s the bit that get’s me, the amazon and ebay feeds would seem to be using JargonFish’s own affiliate codes, as there is nowhere to input yours when you create the widget!

there is a payment information page in the setup area where you can choose to be paid by check, paypal or wire (wire only when balance is over $5k), but I can’t find any details at all that tell you what % revenue share there is, if any..

and to top it off the field for your paypal addess is limited to just 20 characters, so if your PayPal email address is over that (mine is 21) you can’t get paid via PayPal.
