How to Generate Traffic for Your Website
I’ve been asked to be one of 3 keynote speakers/instructors in a 4-day intensive training class on how to generate passive income online. The course will be held here locally in Ottawa over 2 weekends (the weekends of August 12-13 and 19-20). Spacing is very limited, it’s already 50% sold out and it was only annouced yesterday! Anyone interested should contact Glenn Scott before the August 4th deadline to register. The cost of attending is $250/person, which is phenomally low considering that you get 3 speakers for substantially less than it would cost you to just have one of them speak individually!. This is a one-time opportunity, this course will only be offered this one time.
As an extra, this course will be recorded for resale later on DVD. I’ve already made arrangements with Glenn Scott to be able to resell the DVD here through FollowSteph.com, so if you’re not able to come, you can always purchase a DVD copy here when it becomes available. The price of the DVD has not yet been determined.
The course will cover 4 major topics:
Web design
This will by taught by Michael VanDusen who is the head of web design at Algonquin College here in Ottawa. He will use Dreamweaver MX as a tool for building websites which includes lab time (individual computers will be available during the lab time).
Google Adsense Revenue
Glenn Scott will teach how to generate passive income using Google Adsense on your websites. Although he has several streams of income (real estate properties, etc.), Google Adsense is what has allowed him to become financially free at the level he wants.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Glenn Scott wil also cover SEO principles which is very important in getting your site recognized and highly ranked by all the major search engines.
Traffic Generation (my section)
I will personally show you how to generate traffic to your website, be it for monetization, for a small business, etc. I will cover many topics such as blogging, how to get links to your website (link baiting), how to create valuable content, concepts online social networks, copywriting, Google Adwords, press releases, and so on. Basically I’ll show you many ways I’ve learned to make LandlordMax Property Management Software and FollowSteph.com grow in traffic to where they are today (they’ve both at least doubled in the last 6 months alone as shown in the graphs below).
To give you a little history, the concept for this course was actually born from a dinner I attended that was hosted by Glenn Scott entitled “How I Got Out of the Rat Race”. During this dinner many people were interested in learning more details on how he managed to become financially free and suggested he offer a course. And thus 4 weeks later this course was officially offered for this one and only time.
I’m very excited about this project! Not only will I be speaking/instructing one component of the course, but I will be donating my personal time for the other 3 course days to help Glenn and the other speakers/instructors with their components. I will field questions, help with lab times, etc. as I’m also very familiar with these topics. It’s a great opportunity to take advantage of several experts under one umbrella.
I look forward to seeing several of you there!

Recent Bought with Comment Spam
Having recently re-designed this blog and converted it to WordPress, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would be bombarded with comment spam. The good news is that it’s a predictable problem and there are solutions out there to help deal with this.
Without going into details, and thereby not giving the comment spammers any hints on how I’m blocking them, I’ve made some backend modifications to handle this issue. I believe that all the comment spam you might have recently seen has been removed. And as far as I can tell from monitoring the changes over the last few days, you shouldn’t see any more comment spam here again.

It looks like the re-design is now completed! All the data should be restored and all the old links should be automatically forwarding to the new urls. Feel free to drop me a comment to let me know what you think of the new design. And if you catch anything missing please let me know.

FollowSteph Website Re-design
As many of you might have noticed today FollowSteph.com‘s look and feel has substantially changed, as well not all the posts are there right now. That’s because I’m in the process of re-designing and re-implementing FollowSteph.com with WordPress, converting all the posts and data. All the old links will still work as expected, pointing to the right articles when I’m done.
So please bear with me as I convert the website. I expect I’ll be done sometime later tonight if all goes well!

Guest Writer Invitation
A very good customer and now friend of mine, Albert, who owns and runs a property management company using LandlordMax recently approached me asking if I would be interested in publishing guest articles. He suggested that he himself would be interested in providing an article about property management that I’m sure many of you would find very useful. After all what better source of information on managing your real estate properties is there than from someone who runs his own company managing real estate properties.
I think the idea of guest writers is so good (thank you Albert for suggesting it) that I’m sending an invitation to all of you who are interested in writing a guest articles about real estate, running a business, or tips on using LandlordMax. to please email me your articles and I will publish the most interesting ones I receive.
I can’t promise how many articles I will publish, that will depend on the quanity and quality of what I receive. However, for the articles that I do publish I will provide links to your website (including your logo) right from the article, giving you full credit. This is a good opportunity for many of you to get some great exposure, I easily get over 10,000 unique visitors here every month.
I eagerly await your emails.

FollowSteph Traffic is Exploding!
Normally I write once a week because I’m so busy running my company LandlordMax Property Management Software. However today I had the chance for the first time in a very long time to look at the statistics for this website (FollowSteph.com). What a good surprise it was! It went from nothing to 12,322 unique visitors a month in just 7 months! This growth is truly exponential as you can see in the graph below.
The site went from first being registered and created in June to
397 unique visitors per day seven months later in December! At this pace I suspect it’ll get 25k-50k unique visitors a month by the end of 2006 without a problem. Apparently a lot of you out there like this site, because a good portion of you also come back and read other articles (the logging tools only give me averages, not specifics, so unfortunately I can’t really be more detailed).
The best compliment a blog can get is high traffic because traffic means that you’re providing interesting and informative content. Thank you!
