Trying My Hand at Programming

There’s a bit of a change to the site I’d like to point out: check over on the right hand side, and you’ll see there a are two new pages: resources and signup.

Adding the pages wasn’t that big a deal really, and I hope it will be helpful to have the resources listed all in one place. If I’ve done this right, there should be a clickable link for everything I’ve listed. If not, or if the link doesn’t work, please leave me a post.

The sign up did take some actual programming, kind of. I had to generate the form through AWeber and then get it into the post. I’m still figuring out the delivery part of the signup bonus, but I’ll get it to you one way or the other. It still isn’t pretty, I obviously have more to learn, but I’m getting there.

I hope you’ll sign up for my list. Generally, I’ll use the newsletter to let you know when I’ve posted something new, what it is I’ve written about, and what new resources I’ve found. I don’t have much of a budget, so there won’t be many things for sale. I won’t recommend anything I haven’t already tried.

I’m using an autoresponder company called AWeber to handle the newsletter. In all my research, that company has been recommended time and again and with reviews way above those of any other service. I’ve also noticed that many of the newsletters I’m subscribed to either were already using AWeber or changed to it at some time over the course of my subscription. Aweber has extensive training available, and by all accounts offer great service. They even have a feature to check that the emails you’re sending out aren’t spammy (a free part of the basic service). I think this is important especially for us newbies, as we learn our way along this business. As you get ready to think about getting your list started (which should be high up in your priorities), do check out AWeber.
