What I Didn’t Learn At School

Here is a new weekly post I will try to do every Friday. My recomendations for #FollowFriday on Twitter and why I follow them. Many people just list the people they are following on twitter without even giving a reason on why they follow that person. Is he or she a fun person? Doe’s he or she post valuable tweets? Do you got some kind of connection or did they do anything special for you? That what I will use this new and weekly blog post for. To give the people I follow some extra cred.

Week 37: The people you should follow on twitter and why.

@PeterParks is a top Internet Marketer that is trained by the legend Frank Kern And Super Affiliate Ewen Chia. This week Peter Parks was launching his new super coaching program called Aggressive Affiliates. Where he opened up for 300 students that where highly motivated to join in. I must admit I did not sign up for his class, but I received a from a black hat marketer that wanted to sell me Peter Parks coaching program for $50. I claimed he had downloaded everything and I could download it from him. That’s just crazy stuff. So I contacted Peter on Twitter, got his email addresses and forwarded the mail to him. This proves two things, Peter Parks care about the people following him and he helps other that helps him. All over great guy.

@SeanDonahoe is a highly successful entrepreneur, author and innovative marketer. I started to follow Sean Donahoe some time ago and mostly because he tweets a lot of good SEO tips. I look at myself an Marketer with very good SEO skills so every tips that Sean Donahoe provides are alway well appreciated. Sean Danahoe’s blog is also very informative. He covers everything from SEO, Social Media and other marketing techniques. Sean also introduced me to Odiogo, that is a service that makes mp3 files of all your blog posts.

@AndrewWarner is  the the man behind one of my favourite websites at the moment mixergy.com. Mixergy is a place where the ambitious learn from a mix of experienced mentors as Andrew put’s it. And it’s absolutly true. Andrew Warner has put himself out there and interviewed I guess over 100 startup entrepreneurs, and counting, about their story of success. Now I haven’t really connected that good with Andrew at the moment, but in many of his live interviews he uses twitter to pick questions fro his guests, and he have always brought my questions up on every show. Thanks Andrew, and this is why I follow you.

Last I want to thank my ReTweeters this week.
They are all developers and designers of the website 44tips.com and did a real good job of picking up my Review of their website yesterday. And I guess they liked it too since they ReTweeted my blog post and got my blog even more visitors yesterday. Thank you for the ReTweets and thanks for a great website

That’s my #FollowFriday of week 37. Be active on twitter and contact me at @skavhellen or ReTweet my blogposts to get mentioned on next week’s #FollowFriday.

For a long time I have been using Google reader for all my RSS Feed’s and later turned more and more over to LazyFeed to get more inspiration for new sites in the topics that I’m interested in. Now I’m looking at 44tips.com, something completely fresh and cool that in the end of the day might be my new startup page.

One of my marketing strategies to get more traffic and build backlinks is to comment on other blogs. I want to be one of the first to comment on a blog for 2 reasons:

1. I get more traffic that way since there is a bigger chance that other comment readers are reading the first comments then the 48th comment.
2. I have a bigger chance of getting noticed by the blogs owner for the same reason as described above.

Here is my 44tips.com Review
To keep track of all the latest blog posts on the blogs that I follow I use Google Reader, but after trying out 44tips.com I now see that login in to Google reader to catch up on important blogs is a lot of job and takes time that 44tips.com saves me.

As an Internet Marketer I’m also monitoring my Twitter, Facebook and a few other social medias. I’m searching for pictures for my blog posts and  I often watch youtube clips on various topics. And don’t forget music. I always need my music when I’m working and I stream it from youtube or get the latest re-mixes from many different music sites.

Am I getting to the point soon?
Yes! My point is, 44tips.com has gathered all this information on one nice start page. You can connect to every social network and at the same time get faster to your bookmarked websites and follow all your RSS subscribes sites in one place. It’s super awesome and time saving from an Internet Marketing view.

You should absolutely try it out.
