Weekly Recap: Twisted in TorontoWritten by Rosalind Gardner on June 7, 2008 · Comments (2) |
Well, just one more sleep until I’ll be on my way back Home Sweet Home and I’m thrilled.
While it’s wonderful to visit with friends and family here in Ontario, I can hardly wait to see my cat, my ‘western’ friends and my precious Desktop.
Here at my Mom’s place, I work from my laptop which is perched on an end table in the living room while sitting on a chair which is slightly askew to the table.
Working hunched over and twisted like a pretzel is hard on the old bod, which explains why I’ve barely blogged at all this week.
Fortunately, this week’s guest bloggers, Alexander Alaric and Malcolm Sheppard made excellent contributions.
If you too took a break from the web last week, here are the posts that have been made since my recap from Huntsville on May 28th:
- How to Connect with Influential People on Facebook
- Affiliates Can Make More Money with Amazon Unbox Video™ Referals in June
- Joint Ventures: An Ill-Conceived Proposal
- Five Tips to Make Your Blog More Sociable
- $50 Investment Increases Sales by 500%
‘Til next time, Blog and Prosper!

Hi Ros,
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I’ve learned from your “Super Affiliate Handbook”. I had been playing around with article marketing for a few months when I stumbled on to an ad for your book. I don’t even remember where I first saw it. I bought it and printed it out. I never saw the value of a full blown website until I began to “study” your information. Until then I was writiing articles and throwing up “squeeze pages” with really no results.
I have been pretty successful in sales over the years. It’s funny how I would never have thought for a moment that I could be successful at my sales profession without following basic fundamentals of sound business practises, like; giving value, (80% of my job in sales should be presenting value, 20% closing the deal), taking no short cuts, putting the client first by always going above and beyond what is expected, and presenting all of my sales material in an organized and professional manner, and doing everything I can to make a positive first impression.
Your book “Super Affiliate Handbook” helped me get back to “true north”. As simple as it should be to recognize the need for the same professionalism in my website efforts, I was taking shortcuts.
As a result of following your advice and process, I know that I can build a website that is content rich, and will eventually pay me well. I haven’t sold anything yet, because I haven’t promoted the site at all. I am still adding pages, tweaking the look, adding keywords, and so on. But even though I haven’t made a dime yet, I am confident that I will be compensated for my efforts as I continue to add valuable content to my site.
I just wanted to give a you testimony from someone who appreciates your attention to detail. The “Super Affiliate Handbook” is a must read in my opinion, for anyone who wants to know how to build a website. Thanks for all of your sound advice.

P.S–I’ve never blogged before and wasn’t sure how to get this message to you . Maybe I should have sent it to you by email, but I just wanted you to know that I like your stuff.

I don’t blame you for not blogging. Don’t feel bad your on vacation with your mom and family. Sometimes you’ve gotta put down the keyboard and enjoy being with your loved ones.
