Well it was the last of the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Webinars last night. And what a great course it has been. Alex Jeffreys has been a truly great mentor and imparted some great knowledge to us a long the way. But the end of the course doesn’t mean the end of out journey. It is up to each one of us now to continue to apply what we know, continue to fail forward, re-plan and make ongoing progress towards our own individual goals. Let’s make Alex Jeffreys proud of us and roll on Vegas!
We all started from different starting positions in terms of technical abilities and the amount of time we can commit to it. But there is one thing that is certain for all of us that have the passion and desire to stick at this - they will be successful in the end. No doubt about it. There are so many examples of tangible successes already within the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course but do not worry if you have not had the results of these other people yet. It will come; As long as you maintain your commitment to your goals and apply what Alex teaches.
Alex Jeffreys concluded his coaching programme today for the initial intake of some 500 students. How many are left still standing is unknown. Some never started, some fell by the wayside, some found it “too tough” and some just decided that Alex Jeffreys wasn’t the mentor or coach for them. I can’t say I feel particularly sorry for those who didn’t emerge into the sunshine from this Alex Jeffreys course. They made their decision - for whatever reason. They certainly had the same opportunity as those who finished did.
I guess it is like a University course, in some respects… some finish, some don’t. In life some people win while others lose. Anyway, I don’t want to focus on any of that too much longer. You can go to my thread on winners and losers if you are interested enough in the REASONS for this.
Some students were unable to make this last webinar for work reasons or family committments, so this summary is for them - and for any lurkers who come here wanting to avail themselves of free information.
OK. Get a cup of tea or that poison that some of you drink called coffee and settle in coz the Gazz-Man is gonna end this Alex Jeffrey’s coaching course with a BIG banging post. I haven’t done that for a while and now seems like an appropriate time. I might slap some people around a bit too coz I’m a bit frustrated with the attitude of some. So, click away now if you are a precious flower who only blooms at midnight when there is nobody around to see you.
There is something special to me in creating a thing so wonderful that it will outlast your own mortality. I refer to people like Shakespeare and the great painters like Renoir, Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Co and the great musicians like Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Bach and so many others. Then we have the great actors - John Wayne, Greta Garbo, Paul Newman, Vanessa Redgrave, Audrey Hepburn etc, etc. And all the wonderful authors and sculptors and other artisans throughout history.
These people are immortal. Their memory lives on long after they have gone.
I talk about the lady in this You-Tube clip a lot. I believe she has a most angelic and haunting voice.

[WARNING - ADULT CONTENT: The Gazz-Man becomes rather amorous and canoodling when this song is played... heh, heh I had to self-censor and delete the bit that I had written after that. I do have SOME decorum, not a LOT, but some - LOL! I know that kids are now reading my "stuff" so I gotta be a bit circumspect. Darn!]
Early on the in Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course, Alex told us of the importance of having good fresh content on your Blogs. If you give value to your visitors they will come back for more. Simple as that. I have made sure I regularly put out new content on my Blog and made sure every week I put up several new posts. But how/where do I get the ideas from to write my content?
Well, I apply another technique that Alex Jeffreys taught is – I keep a journal, plus I record ideas and make notes all the time. I have a spreadsheet continually open as I am ‘working’ at my computer and I just drop notes and reminders into it whenever something pops into my head so I don’t forget !! Since the Alex Jeffreys Coaching course started I have had no problem in keeping my material fresh, but where else can you go if you have writers block?
Well her are a few ideas that I can instantly think of (I’m sure there are more!):-
Private Label Rights (PLR); you can use this material for free, rewrite it if you want to make it your own and put your own personality onto the content.
Article Directories; Excellent resource, just using one site, such as Ezine Articles and you will be overwhelmed with the amount of material written.
This is a very short tutorial video in response to a question raised by Gary Simpson on how to upload videos to YouYube and Viddler. The other question that Gary raised was to do with spam commenting, unfortunatly there is no real way to stop the “spammers” for the time being on YouTube, although I have read that they do take the problem of spamming very seriously and are in the process of looking at a captcha system that may deter this practise.
You basicaly have on of two choices you turn off the comment tab completely or you have to keep tabs on your individual accounts and delete any offending comments that appear, a bit of a problem though if you are running multiple accounts !
Anyway please find the tutorial video below, my apologies to Gary though, unfortunatly I could not obtain very good photos of his “girl” I had to make do with low res thumbnails but, I think he will be happy enough.
