Tips for Better Blogging Results - Things I Wish I had Done Right from the Start - Part 1
I invited a friend in Florida to join ActiveRain, and I am trying to give her as much help as I can on how to quickly maximize her blog. As I was typing up today's "lesson," I thought "this would probably be a good series that will hopefully help others." So here goes--Lesson 1:
When you first sign up for ActiveRain, you are given an amazing amount of information--so much so that your head spins! Where do you start? Take a deep breath! If I could go back to the beginning, what advice do I wish someone had given me?
First of all, sign up for courses at ActiveRain University. I put this off until January 2011. It was on my "to do" list. If you want to really know what you are doing, put this at the TOP of your to-do list and get over there right now and sign up! It takes about one hour of your day on a webinar--the best hour you will spend that day. Will you understand everything that is being talked about? Probably not, but you can take the classes again as you develop more of an understanding.

Before you take the class, however, I would suggest that you download two things if you don't have them already: Firefox (Mozilla.com) and Scribefire. At least you will then be familiar with the platform that will be used in class! Don't feel that you need to learn Scribefire before you go--just have it installed and available on you "Tools" from Firefox (automatically installed there) so you are not completely confused.
That is enough for today--take the classes!
