Are you getting a lot of spam from Twitter? If so, then you may want to check out TrueTwit. TrueTwit is a validation service for Twitter. If you decide to use it, keep in mind that this will create an extra step for people who want to follow you. However, those who are truly interested in receiving your Tweets won’t mind the validation process. It’s another good way to keep the robots from getting into your inbox.

This morning, I got Parker off to school and then I took Liza in to the doctor for a check-up. After a clean bill of health, I took her to school too.
Now, I’m sitting in my office space in North Mankato ready for work. Dawn of Creative Ad Solutions was kind enough to offer me a space in part of her building in lower North Mankato. It’s nice to get out of my home office space once in awhile. I’m lucky because all I need to do to pack up my office is grab my laptop, a few files, my cell phone, my magic jack phone (saves on cell minutes), and my password book.
Now it’s time to get started on Coach Mary’s Aweber account. I need to set up an account for her, create a web form, and post the html code to her WordPress website. Then I need to set up a campaign for the her teleclass, which is coming up on May 18.

Later!

Are you monitoring your website traffic? If not, you need to start and an easy way to do so is by signing up for a Google Analytics account. Once you sign up, you can copy the HTML code and place it on each page of your website. Okay, if you aren’t skilled in that area, then send the code to your web guru and ask him or her to put it on your website for you.
By monitoring the reports, you’ll find out how many visitors have been to your site and where they came from. For example, let’s say you recently posted a news release on webpr.com. If you put a link to your website in the article, Google Analytics will show you how many people visited your site from clicking on that link. Then you’ll know which marketing campaigns are working and which are not.

You’ll also learn:

• the length of time spent on each page of your site
• what browser visitors are using (i.e. Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox)
• source of the traffic
• keywords used in their search

If you don’t want to have to sign in and out of Google Analytics and monitor the reports yourself, your virtual assistant can do that for you. Just be sure to discuss the reports during your weekly or bi-weekly telephone calls.

If you’d like to see a sample report, post a comment here or send me an email. I’d be glad to show you one of my reports.

To your success!
