The microphone was muted… Twice! But as they say the 3rd time is a charm.

Today as I was checking Google analytics I noticed I was getting traffic for the keyword phrase million dollar napkin. It was going to a post from the other day titled The Million Dollar Napkin (Don’t Worry Not An Affiliate Link)

So, I typed million dollar napkin into Google, and the blog post was in the 6th position… Pretty cool. I recorded this quick video showing a couple of the things I did to get this post ranked. Check it out, and hope it helps.

I’ve been on Matt’s list for years, and it is some great marketing. A special thanks to Ben Settle from the Copywriting Grab Bag for tweeting this, or I might have missed it.

Tonight Harlan Kilstein is holding a teleseminar with Matt Furey. The subject will be email marketing, and it will have great content. I plan on calling in to listen because Matt rarely does stuff like this.

Here is the link to the announcement The King Of Email Speaks. Here are the details for tonight’s call…

I’m running a teleseminar with a reclusive genius.

I say reclusive because he almost never speaks in public
(outside of his high priced mentoring group.)

He generally doesn’t get on the phone doing teleseminars either.

I refer to him as the King of Email.

He makes over $1,000,000 a month – most of it driven by email.

And I’m going to have him go over two emails with you that he
has written.

You will be shocked by the content and the call.

I urge you to set aside Tuesday, September 23 at 8PM
for the call.

Here’s the number to call in:

507-726-3200 the Pin code is 66249#

Oh, his name….

Matt Furey.

It’s going to be amazing.

Be there.

Be online early.

Peace.

Harlan

If you want to see some awesome email marketing head on over to his blog and join his email list… you will not be disappointed. Here is the link to Matt Furey Uncensored.

Right now as of today you can download a copy of the Fall 2008 issue of Matt Furey’s Mastermind Magazine. It has some ads he wrote, and would make a great addition to anyones swipe file. Not sure how long it will be up, so you should hop over there fast. Matt has a reputation of only leaving stuff like this up for a short time.

Ping.fm let’s you update 21 different social network site at once. Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, FriendFeed, Mashable, LinkedIn, Pownce, Plurk… are just a few of the sites supported. It’s easy to setup & start sending updates.

I like their description from their about page…

Ping.fm was created for the sole purpose of making it as easy as possible to share your posts with the world. Now you don’t have to fumble around the web in order to post anymore, you can just post once, and be done with it.

The idea came about when making some posts to Twitter and Tumblr. The idea of posting the exact same information in two places seemed a bit tedious, so Ping.fm was born.

I really like the control you have over which sites you can send your updates. When you setup each account you are given the option to include the site in any of three categories: Micro-blogs, Statuses or Blogs. You can pick one or all three, your choice.

When you send an update just pick which category from the drop down box & send. If you want it to go to all three the choice as default, then send.

It’s pretty cool. I’ve been using it the past week from my desktop, laptop & cell phone without any problems.

Right now it’s in beta & you can only get in with an invite.

Well, never fear… Keith is here with an invite for you. Today the invite code is “pingscompany”. They have been changing the code every few days, so if this one doesn’t work I’ll up date the code in the comment section below.

Happy Pinging!

08/04/2008 Update… the new beta code is “pingitlikeitshot”

Not sure?

I was in the not sure category. Many days I would do most of the tasks or activities to drive traffic or add links. Some days I would all of them… then other days I would get almost nothing done.

It became clear to me that I was inconsistent at best running this blog. It was time to get better organized… or organized in the first place.

Trying different organizing tools available didn’t help. I tried a day planner, several online application and even a to do list. But, I could not find one that worked… well actually one that I would work on a consistent basis.

Then one day while I was cleaning up around my desk I found an 3X5 index card holder. I suddenly remembered that I this was how I used this as a follow up system while in sales. It worked great even though it is a very low tech solution.

So, I figured it would probably work just as good for running this blog. The video shows the setup and how it works. It’s much easier to show than to try to write about it.

Here’s the video…
