MOBILE PHONE TRENDING MARKETING
PART 2
PART 2 – Getting Started
Browser Set Up
Setting Up FireFox
If you already have FireFox set
up that's great. If not, please go to
the folder where you saved the install program and install FireFox. During or
just after the install it will ask you whether or not you want FireFox to be
your default Browser. It is NOT necessary that it is your default browser. If
you want to keep I.E. or whatever other browser as your default Browser, just
check the "Don't ask me again" box and click NO. If you do, click yes.
SEO for FireFox Add On
Now that you have FireFox installed, open the program
if it is not already and go to: http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html and
download the SEO for FireFox add on.
scroll down the page for install instructions.
Google Tool Bar for FireFox Add On
Go here: https://addons.mozilla.org and in the search field at the top of the
page, search for "Google Toolbar".
Install the tool bar. FireFox
will walk you through the process. You may need to sign up for a Google account
to get this tool bar. It's been a while
so; sorry I don't remember. If you do
that's fine, you will have to anyway. If
you already have a Google account, set up a separate Google account for the
purposes of this system. Google will allow you several accounts.
Don't Get Carried Away
There are hundreds of FireFox Add
On's but for our purposes you only need these two. any more and things can get confusing. Not to
mention the fact that you can get lost and or loose track of time cruising all
the Add On's that are available. Let's stick to business.
Now Set Up Your Bookmarks Toolbar
When you save a link in Internet
Explorer in your “Favorites” are called “Favorites”. In Mozilla the same
feature is available to accomplish the same purpose, but instead you save links
to what’s called your Bookmarks and those saved links are called bookmarks. In
FireFox you can set up different a “Bookmarks Toolbar” button for different
categories of sites with different purposes. Therefore you can keep all of your
hot trends related sites in one Toolbar button.
Click on the button and you will only see the sites links or bookmarks
you have save to that “Bookmarks Toolbar” button.
To make sure your “Bookmarks
Toolbar” is visible, just right click as shown in the following
screenshot. If “Bookmarks Toolbar” is
not checked in the drop down, click/select it and it will appear on as one or
more buttons in the header of FireFox GUI (Graphical User Interface).
In FireFox, click on
"Bookmarks" at the top of the browser then click on "Organize Bookmarks".
When Mozilla opens up your
bookmarks data it will be titled “Library” on the Title Bar.
Right click on "Bookmarks
Toolbar" as shown above and select "New folder..." by left
clicking on "New folder...".
Now follow the directions in red in the screenshot of the new folder
dialogue window below, an naming the folder Hot Trends:
If you were to close the
"Library" window now, you would see a new tab has appeared on your
"Bookmarks Toolbar" named “Hot Trends”. When you click on it, it will
of course be empty because we haven't saved any page links to it yet.
Now let’s set up more folder/tabs on your "Bookmarks
Toolbar" exactly the same way you did Hot Trends. They will be set up and named in this order:
1. Hot
Trends (You’ve already set up)
2. HT
Blogs
3. SB
Sites 4. SN Sites
5.
Now we will want to set our Hot
Trends business home page, research pages and tracking pages into our Hot
Trends "Bookmarks Toolbar" tab.
But first we need to set them up on your
iGOOGLE.
Customizing Your Hot Trends iGoogle Page
Ok, now that we have the Add On's
set up in FireFox along our initial bookmark tabs, let's set up your default
home page.
Assuming you have set up a
separate or new Goocle account, Go to GOOGLE at www.google.com and
login. Just click on "Sign In"
in the top right hand corner of the page.
Once you are logged in click on
"My Account"
in the top right hand corner of this page.
That will deliver your main account product set up features page.
Most will go in your Hot Trends
folder/tab but not all. Just follow the
instructions for each folder/tab as we go. Now bookmark your Google “My
Account” page into your Hot Trends folder/tab.
Book mark all of the following
pages into your "Bookmarks Toolbar" Hot Trends folder in the
following order:
In your FireFox Browser, go to:
Hot Trends
www.google.com/trends/hottrends
Google Trends
http://google.com/trends (Different in that it will allow you to
compare trend sites instead of just listing hot trends of the day.)

Google Alerts
Now let's set up your Blogger Blogs Tab.
Loading Your Blogger Tab
Now you need to set up a tab
where you will keep your bookmarks for your Hot Trends Blogger Blogs as you
build them.
Refer to the"Browser Set
Up" section at the beginning of this chapter if you don't remember how to
set up a "Bookmarks Toolbar" tab.
Name it what ever you like. I named mine "HT Blogs" to keep it
short.
If you have a Blogger account, go
to your account and sign in to your "Dashboard Page". Bookmark this page to your "HT
Blogs" tab on your "Bookmarks Toolbar".
If you have not already signed up
for a Blogger account, you need to do so now:
Go to: www.blogger.com/start
NOTE: You should have already set
up a Google account when you signed up following the directions in the
"Getting Organized . . .) section of Chapter 2, and though you have not
used Blogger before, that Google account username and password will work for
Blogger. In fact it will work for just about any Google service you use.
Now that your are signed in and
viewing your "Dashboard" page, bookmark this page to your "HT
Blogs" tab on your "Bookmarks Toolbar".
If this is your first account
with blogger and you haven't used it before, I highly recommend you watch the
video tutorial at the bottom of your Blogger "Dashboard" page.
For now you are done with this
tab. You will load your different blog
pages into this tab as you create them. We will create your first blogger blot
later in this guide. But this reminds me, we need to take a little time to go
over keeping your Hot Trends Profit system organized.
I will cover all other aspects of using
Blogger later in this guide.
Staying Organized
As you set up your different
campaigns, you will want to keep records of what you did, how you did it and
what the results of each campaign were in the amount of traffic you developed
and the money you made.
In an effort to keep your Hot
Trends business separate from your other business efforts but still available
at the click of a browser tab, I'm recommending you use Google Spread Sheets or
Word Processor Documents..
Go to: http://docs.google.com Bookmark this page to your Hot Trends Tab.
Here you will be able to create
documents you can use to track your campaigns and have them all available right
in your browser along with your other hot trends Google pages.
You can use the word processor to
create documents you can later download in several different file formats such
as RTF, PDF, WORD etcetera.
Your spread sheets where you
organize your campaign information and results you can export in numerous file
formats including csv, text, Excel etcetera.
I will get to how you set up your
campaign documents in the appropriate section later in this guide. For now we are just getting our browser
system set up for maximum production in the least amount of time.
Always Be Prepared To Take Advantage
There is a lot to be said for
keeping your business organized to the point you are always prepared to take
advantage of an opportunity when it arises, or in some cases before an
opportunity even presents itself. However there is more to staying organized to
the point that your online marketing system is ready.
Starting a any small business
venture will place unprecedented demands on your organizational skills! While this Hot Trends Profit system is not
hard to keep organized, (The way I'm showing you how to do it), if you are the
type of person who strives to organize his or her projects and daily schedule
to achieve maximum efficiency, you can expect to make some pretty serious
profits with this system. However if you
are kind of hit and miss at keeping things organized, about all you can expect
is hit and miss profits.
The point will really come home
to you when you get 2 or 3 weeks down the road, and maybe have been paying more
attention to your primary source of income; then you find some time to do some
hot trends research, find something that has real money maker potential written
all over it and you realize you haven't kept up your files,records, tracking,
bookmarks or other organizational items and realize you're really not prepared
to take advantage of the opportunity in the timely fashion that is required in
this endeavor to make it profitable and you end up frustrated and maybe giving
up.
It's More Than Just Record Keeping
Internet Marketing doesn't just
require keeping clean records. You have
to keep your computer up with proper maintenance so you don't end up with some
MalWare or Virus problem. You need to
keep your registry clean, drives defragged, security updates current, automatic
virus scans scheduled etcetera.
If you are not in the habit of
doing regular maintenance on your computer or your computer is running slow,
has strange quirks about the way it works, take some time and look around on
line for some maintenance recommendations.
Here is a link to some good information I
found on maintaining a Windows PC. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/maintenance/Maintaining_Your_PC.htm
You should also check out this site if you
have any serious problems:
This maintenance list they have there is
great. I run through this every
Sunday: http://www.suggestafix.com/index.php?showtopic=27337
Make these things part of staying
organized and prepared so your computer will be prepared to see you through
your projects.
