When I started my blog, I committed to it for a year and to post once a week, so I am not sure if I will graduate at Yakezie, but I thought I would join the community anyway.

 

Welcome! I am just like you…I joined the Yakezie community even though I only get 1-2 posts out a week.


hehe good to see I am not a lone then :)

Glad to be part of the movement and hope to add some value.

Just figured out that this is where my intro post belonged. Whoops!

I joined the Yakezie challenge today October 7, 2010 and my Alexa rank is currently 11,656,453 so Ive got some serious work to do.

A bit embarassing, but I am where I am.

Considering my startign point, I'm hoping to break 500,000 by the

end of my six months in the challenge.

I write about

investing as well as personal finance.

I started this blog because I grew tired of seeing my friends and family lose large amounts of money

during bear markets, so I created a course to teach people how to avoid

these large losses.

I am still working on said course but plan to complete it this year.

Looking forward to working with all of you.Laugh


Welcome, when I first started the challenge I had no idea how fast I would move up the rankings. If you promote well, you'll beat your goal well before the 6 months. I never did any guest posting and Im almost at 100,000 and my blog just turned 6 months old. So what I'm trying to say is get out on the social networks and promote your posts and we'll do what we can to move you up in the rankings.
 


That's about where I started too! After a week and a half I'm already down to about 2 million. Still a long ways to go :)

It's been a long time coming. I should've joined the Yakezie Challenge a year ago.
Well, I'm here now.  I've been blogging off and on going on 2 years now. After some serious reflection and time management / productivity self education, I'm back on! Boy, have I missed it.
Oh, my current Alexa traffic rank is 980,200. Just in the past couple weeks, it's gone down about 450,000. That's not too bad, but it good be soooo much better.

Whew… it has taken since November but I'm finally able to post my intro post on this forum! I have no idea why I has having such issues with creating a log-in for this forum. =)

 

When I first started and made my annoucement post by rank was 1,672,589. As of today it is now 565,504. Quite an improvement!

Hi Denise, 

 

The site looks great. One thing you may want to consider is moving your RSS icon, and social media icons, closer to the top of your home page. Like right below your navigation bar. People expect them to be there, so it makes it easier for your readers to find them. The space where you have the "Play Now" and "Download" buttons may be better utilized with an email subscription form. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice.  I will try to rearrange some things to see how it looks. 

 

Are there any email subscription forms that you suggest?  I think there is an option with feed burner but I don't know much about it.

Don't bother with Feedburner's email subscribe.  Get a real subscription service.  GetResponse and MailChimp both have free options.  I'm using MailChimp's and am happy to do so.
