Ahhhhh internet marketing - the boon and bane of so many of us. I’ve had so much triumph and so much trouble in this field that it’s almost like an addiction. One of the ways that I feed that addiction is to watch hours and hours of instructional videos! I’ve gathered a bunch of videos that helped me when I was first starting out and I’m still finding good ones everyday to add to this playlist. Grab some popcorn and put on a good pair of headphones for these!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So I heve a huge collection of saved playlists over at YouTube from when I was first learning - I love learning from video - and I thought that I would share these playlists with you!
These are videos may not be for the experienced or intermediate marketer (we have other information in here for you and soon we’ll be offering you even more!). But they are amazing for people who are just starting out or need to brush up on the fundamentals.
So grab a drink and kick back, a notebook is always good to jot down any ideas you may have and start watching!

What do you think about the subscribe buttons on this site?
I always wondered where people got that nice list of buttons that offer you more than one way to subscribe to their feed and today I finally found the simplest answer to that question!
Below is a screenshot of the many services you can add to your list (but of course don’t go too crazy, sometimes less is more and if you haven’t heard of them you probably shouldn’t have it on your site!)

The tool is located on the TopRank Blog at http://www.toprankblog.com/tools/rss-buttons/
Not only can you choose between the number of options and images you display but you can also select your method of output. You decide whether you want to host the images and code on your own website or if you just want to simplify it and use their premade links. An added plus is the ability to customize the links to your specific blogging or cms platform, definitely handy if you’re not totally sure what you’re doing!
Check it out today! Cheers!

Many social networks give you the tools to find out what’s hot and establish yourself quickly. Let me explain how these systems work.
Every time a Blog or website ‘pings’ one of these social networks they take the ‘category name’ of your Blog post and turn it into a tag. There are also plug ins for Wordpress that allow you to define your own tags. The social network then takes these ‘tags’ and turns them into links that go to all the posts they have on these topics.
