Alex Jeffreys Student Blog Competition Result
Hey Everyone,
Really short post, I am super busy with a ton of stuff but wanted to quickly mention this…
You may or may not remember that wayyyyyy back on Tuesday 12th May I wrote this post:
Basically, I had been on one of my Marketing With Alex Jeffreys student coaching calls.
We had been informed on the call that there would a competition…
To win, you had to get the most traffic to your blog over a 4 week period.
Well…. you will never guess what, I WON IT!
How cool !
I didn’t even know I had won.
I have not been on skype or the coaching forum for a few days as I am just back from a weekend in Liverpool.
PLUS I am trying to get everything sorted for my holiday to Gran Canaria this Saturday with my Mum and Jade.
Glyn Lafferty, one of my fellow students sent me an email congratulating me.
And I was like, what’s he on about???
So I hopped over to the forum and sure enough Glyn was right, I seen that I won.
Ecstatic is an understatement!
I was literally over the moon, buzzing yet again.
If you know me at all, you will know who I phoned…my Mum.
She actually thought I won $2000 cash ha ha, awww bless her.
But I explained it’s wayyyyy better than winning $2000 cash.
I will get a shiny new blog redesign and my own profit pulling platform.
In time, that will generate me much more than $2000.
Where did my traffic come from?
If you want to see my traffic results read this previous post here:
My Final Blog Traffic Stats Post
On the above blog post is a video named “Sally’s Secret Sauce Traffic Blogs“.
That video details the 10 blogs that sent my blogs the most traffic, so if you need traffic, visit those blogs.
Coaching Update…
This time around, working online has been such a steep learning curve.
I am completely out of my comfort zone, and feel like a newbie again.
I could never have imagined how much I would learn in such a short space of time.
But what I can say is that everything Alex has taught me so far is working a treat.
I am getting really encouraging signs that I will make a ton of money online.
If you are losing faith, please don’t, I have lost faith many times since starting this coaching.
But I stuck at it, and you need to do the same.
Keep working away, implement what Alex is teaching, and results WILL come for you.
Personal Update
I am currently writing a free ebook on my favorite wordpress plugins, which is taking longer than expected.
And I am soon to do my first interview with David Taylor.
He practically blackmailed me into doing it!
Because he asked so nicely, is a fellow student AND a fellow Scot, I felt I couldn’t say no.
Hopefully, I can share some good tips on the interview from what I have learned so far.
I am also writing a couple of testimonials for some products I was lucky to be given free access too.
PLUS I am trying to pack my suitcase for my holiday to gran canaria!
Who ever said they only work 2 hours online must be HAVING A LAUGH!!!
Well that’s all for now.
I don’t know when I get my new blog, but I will be sure to let you know when I do.
I will miss my little plain jane blog, it served me well.
BUT it just goes to show you don’t need a beautiful high tech blog, with all the bells and whistles to get a ton of traffic to it.
Plain blogs get traffic too.
Speak soon, Sally
ps. I will be sure to let you all know the exact methods I used to get traffic to my blog, so you can use them for your own blog.

Hey Abizer,
Thank you, was good to win something for once, I am not known for winning anything!
Yes I think overcoming my fears was one of the best things I have done, Alex helped me do that and I will forever be grateful to him.
I finished the interview with David Taylor last night, he was very nervous, reminded me of when I did my first interview too.
Now he has done one, there will be no stopping him.
Hope to see you move forward and maybe line up some interviews yourself, it’s a super fast way to create an instant product, so get started asap.

Hi Sally, wow, well done you! I laughed at your comment about ’2 hours online’ as I agree that it takes far, far more to be successful online. I guess that comes once you are immensely successful and have everything ready and automated. Getting to that stage requires a far greater input of time.
Enjoy the journey.
