Day 12 - 2009 30DC

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Sorry for the lateness but the Day 12 Training Content page is now live.

On Day 12, a brand new module of Market Samurai is being released, one which will allow you to publish your article to your Wordpress Direct blog using Market Samurai and then submit directly to Traffic Bug. You’ll also be looking at your stats to start getting an idea of how your blog is doing.

GuruBob shows you how to analyse your traffic stats, using Google Analytics and Wordpress Direct Stats. Using Google Analytics, GuruBob outlines what to look for in the dashboard, principally being the traffic numbers and traffic sources. Also covered, is the Wordpress Direct stats page, which GuruBob breaks down to show you how it works and what to do if you had a WPD blog last year.

GuruBob also introduces and gives a brief outline a brand new tool in Market Samurai called the Stats Calculator, found in the Monetization module. The calculator will be covered further detail on another day, so all you need to know for now is that it makes it easier for you to assess the ratios of actions that are taking place in relation to your traffic.

Brent introduces the brand new Publish Content module in Market Samurai. Brent outlines the importance of having the right skill set to create and publish content manually, and then demonstrates how Market Samurai can streamline the process for you. Brent shows you a comparison of the steps involved when publishing content manually, compared to the Publish Content module which is able to automate and simplify the steps for you.

Anthony shows you how to use the Publish Content module in Market Samurai to publish an article directly to your Wordpress Direct blog. Anthony takes you through the entire process in detail, including how to tag relevant keywords in your blog post. This is done using your keyword research data from your category keywords which inspired the article, and changing the filters to produce keywords for use in the article.

And for you viewing pleasure we also have another Mindset Lesson With Karl - Today Karl talks about the key to being happy, by following a very simple principle, “stop feeling sorry for yourself”. Karl outlines how taking self-pity out of your daily thoughts can be a key to your success, both in your personal life and in your business.

By the close of Day 12 you should have familiarized yourself with the various traffic stats available to you for your Blog and have published a second article to your WPD blog this time using the new publish content module in Market Samurai.  After publishing your article, you should have also submitted the new article direct to Traffic Bug also using the new Market Samurai module.

I’m sure you’ll agree with me that Market Samurai just keeps getting better and better.

Speak to you soon,
