Need to get some customer graphics for my website.

I don't have any experience with "fiver" but I do know Loes has done some great graphics. I would follow her lead.

My friend tried fiverr and loved the logo she got.

You can go to Fiverr and find someone there.

I would go with Loes. She has you covered. :)

Pay Per Click Marketing

Apparently, you would shorten your link. People click through and when they leave your site they get a pop up and you get a commission. Any thoughts?

No idea what that is. Personally though, I get these stupid commercial popups on my computer, just out of the blue, and bugs the heck out of me. I absolutely detest having something pop up when I wasn't even looking it up

I don´t know sorry :/

I would not do it

Yeah, I agree with you Tom and Katie. I think that it will leave my readers with a bad taste in their mouths and that is the opposite of what I am trying to achieve. Thank you all for your responses

Not heard of it

oh I have never heard of it, but would not like pop ups on my site something I myself do not like, but wish you well with it all might fit with what you have in mind

Most people hate pop ups and it could hurt your credability but that is just my thoughts. To each his own. Good luck

Yeah, that's true. Just join and read all the instructions.

hi you can Google it and see what is out there on it !! There are many ways to earn and some maybe not right for what we do on the lessons -both Bootcampm and Cert, course will keep us busy on the WA way --however you can focus on that type of thing if you want. People do well with those types on income producing ads clicking through --ads that pay you for the click--look here and many others have great teaching you can take

In Kyles training he said that social bookmarking is a bad idea. Does anyone know why?

I think several people are misunderstanding the term 'social bookmarking'.

Here's Wiki's take on it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking

Speaking of productivity, see this free ebook about contagious content http://www.marketo.com/_assets/uploads/Contagious-Content.pdf

Nice thread; however, I would not have used the term "Bad Idea". We cannot overlook the value of social branding for your good-self and your product or service. Social branding should be part our marketing plan, but if as I understand the point here, - spending all of you time or too much of your time on Social Sites is a time waster. Add another time wasters - Forums, Skyping, Groups, etc. Make your presence known and then get in an out and on to more productive activities

I liked this conversation because I was under the impression that you have to join Facebook, Twitter, etc. to enhance sales online. I am relieved this is not true.

I agree with Kyle.

I have a page per website on Facebook and G+.

When I make a post or page I share it on those pages, and on all the other share tabs I have on my sites. ( I have accounts for each share tab)

The I move on.

The " Then I move on" is the most important part of my post here :)

I say that it can be a bad idea simply because people end up hanging out on social when they could be investing this time into constructive processes to build their business.

Too many people think they are social marketing by simply being on a social network like Facebook. A lot can be said for the amount of time that people waste on social networks with no results.

If I was given a choice between having no social accounts at all and building content, I would choose building content in a heartbeat. Content leads to rankings, rankings lead to traffic, traffic leads to revenue.

It is few and far between that you will see any real tangible conversions from social, it is more an exercise in branding.

Hope this adds some clarity for you Michael.

Thanks Kyle but I was thinking about using services like Social ADR to create backlinks through social bookmarking.

Thanks Kyle you just lifted a load off my mind, I am not good at doing the social thing and don't have time for it and build my site to.Am going to be putting up a lot more content on my site over the next month or two, Looking for traffic.

Automated services like this are never a good idea. I don't recommend them Michael.

Don't feel like you have to do social Wayne, people throw around the term like it is the be all end all to business online. You can be very successful without knowing a lick of social these days and this will remain true for some time. It is not the "core" of a business, it is an accessory.

Kyle, just for my own education and the education of anyone that ever ask me. What is it about those services are a bad idea? Is it because of the search engines seeing it as spam or artificial in some way?

It is more that your social audience will see it as spam. If you are using social and not getting engagement when you post stuff, then it is 100% useless. If you spam people, you are going to have no friends and no engagement and automated tools are simply spam tools.

Thanks Kyle, appreciate your feedback and your prompt response. Love WA!

I am a beginner and do not know wat is social bookmarking.

Social bookmarking is when you spend time on social sites like facebook, google + ect. What Kyle is stating is the fact that spend more time being social that taking away time from working on your website. I personally never looked at it that way and must admit will reform my thinking as he makes perfect sense. Rich

OK. Thanks for the answer. One of the Big Bosses of Google should have said that 2014 becomes the year of Google+. I think I will focus on G+. I think it will help in the ranking in Google. But Kyle has right: priority here should be our website!
