Wow Sally,
There are heaps of us all over the net now blushing and drying a tear!…. Are you just trying to ensure that this Yorkshireman buys a Scot a drink tomorrow??
What a cool video!
Seriously – and especially with the friend who knew a friend type story with Nikki and her fella!
That was almost like a mini pay it forwards story (like the film)
Anyway- I’m babysitting, hoping Sara doesn’t come in too late so I can get some sleep, OH and I need my sleep – cos I must be so much older than I feel – did you see Facebook – my daughter Kim had Twins just two hours ago… That takes my GRANDKIDS tally to SEVEN !!! …eeek!
Anyway – back to fb – then video time I think… lets see if Gullivers Travels finished before I fall asleep
See You TODAY!
Now go do your feed thingy

Hey Lisa, I did indeed say “y’all” that was you that got me saying that ha ha.
So so so many blogs just fall by the wayside, it’s a shame, but if everyone helps each other and sticks together we can hopefully stop that!
Smiling faces???? Most of them were grumpy ha ha, nah they were all lovely, I am gonna go do a quick video with the photos I took, and then a new blog post about how the meet up went.
So you’re a busy girl are ya? Well so long as it’s productive busy and not busy fool busy lol!
Always here if you need anything chick, catch ya later, Sally x
Hiya Sally.
Loved it! It really was an excellent video and you made a lot of great points. Although I did feel a bit ashamed that I have neglected my blog in favour of creating a product. (Must do a post on what I’ve been up to).
Anyway Sally, I am sure we will all succeed too and I look forward to more of your updates.
A’ the best,
David
Update: I did my next blog post. Thanks for the spur on.
I thought I had written a lot but it’s amazing how short the post looks. Still, I have done a fair amount, just not on my blog.
Cheers again Sally,

Hey David,
Yes you should feel ashamed, your poor lil blog!
But… I see you came back with a second comment saying you updated your blog so I wont be too hard on ya lol.
Your blog is your journal, remember what Alex told us, I post everything I do on mine and I can refer back to it in the future.
Will pop over and read your post for a catch up tonite, Jade is not well today so got do Mummy stuff (you got all the Daddy stuff to look forward to ha ha)
Speak to ya soon, Sally x

Great video Sally. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. There are many tangents to get lost in, in this business.. a ton of new things to learn and try. The IM niche has become fiercely competitive so using our knowledge to branch into other markets can be more fun. I’m passionate about research and planning a couple of new sites as a result. I haven’t updated my gailfay blog for a while, but intend to post much of my findings there soon. I’m having a great time but as yet haven’t been actively marketing. But I’m developing my plan and am very excited. I’ll keep checking in, here. You have a great blog and I enjoy your posts. I take my hat off to ya!
Twitter: sallyneill
says:
Hey Gail, glad you enjoyed the video, I normally do standard tutorials but I wanted to try something with a bit more “feeling” if you know what I mean.
Yep IM is very fierce, but it’s a challenge and fun!
I really really really hope you do update your regularly otherwise we wont know what ya are upto.
Good luck with the plans, remember don’t plan too much, I am guilty of that at times and end up not getting enough done.
Thanks for popping back again, always lovely to hear from you.
C ya later, Sally x
Hi Sally,
Wishing you a good time at Randy Smith’s Northallerton meet up. Too bad I’m here across the pond.
I feel this video post truly motivates all of us, especially if we feel like this business is just going to munch us up.
Thanks so much for the encouragement and reminding us that we are all in it together and how good this business truly is.
You are a true helper and I like your sense of humor and your down to earth personality.
We are all different and unique. We all have the same purpose. We all have different ideas.
All this is what makes our network of friends extremely valuable so, I just want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU SALLY! Thank you everyone!

Yeah would be so good if we could all meet up one day, it’s just so much more fun to meet offline, not just cos of the beer!
I like your sense of humor too, you always make me laugh.
When you gonna do a video I am DYING to hear your accent!!!
We have a lovely network of friends online, gonna be super powerful one day, we are very lucky.
That’s lovely to thank me and everyone else, very sweet, THANK YOU TOO!
Catch you later, vroom vroom lol, Sally

It was great to meet you at the weekend, I hope you had a great time and you didn’t get too drunk last night
Anyway this is the first time I’ve visited your blog and I have to say I’m highly impressed with the great content you have available on your blog.
I’ve just finished watching your blogging graveyard video and you’ve inspired me to leave you a comment and concentrate on blogging more myself as I haven’t done much of late as I’ve been working on my other projects.
Well done and thank you

Hey Craig,
Yeah it was a blast at Randy’s and very cool to meet you too, and you looked like your photo too ha ha, sometimes you don’t recognize people!
I like my little plain blog, it’s not got all the bells and whistles but it does it’s job all the same.
Yeah you should always spare a little time to blog, products are of course very important but so is relationship building and blogs (as you know I’m sure) are the perfect way to do it.
I will need to pop back over to the IMA forum again, everyone is always raving about it, so I guess it’s my “bad” that I don’t do enough forum socializing lol.
Speak to you soon, Sally

Hi Sally, really great to meet you yesterday. What a blast, came home today because I’m buzzing with ideas…and arrived home to fine I sold a book! No wthat’s a turn around! Ha ha ha.

See you at the weekend.
Enjoy the journey.

Yeeeeha on the sale! Well done!
Just gotta get a sale a day now, then 2 sales then 3 sales and on and on and on.
Remember and take action on all of your ideas, don’t just sit on them.
And do what I do, event blogging…(Alex taught me it)
Get a really powerful, personal blog post wrote about your experiences at Northallerton and tell everyone your ideas, what your gonna do and everyone will make you accountable and kick your ass to get it done.
Yep we are a super duper cool crowd, see you in London!!

Wow Sally what a great video,
I like the reference to the blog graveyard, as I have only recently posted the last post and testament on several of mine, where my heart was not really in them.
Your Facebook post drew me, a stranger for too long, back into my feeddemon account and all the great blogs that lie ignored in there.
This business can be maddening at times and yet all it takes sometimes is a friend to point out that there is an easier way to solve your problem.
We all have our own skill sets and when we put them together we all benefit.
I look forward to finally meeting you next weekend
here’s to our success

Hey Igor, are ya counting the days til Alex and Dean’s Event? I am, have my camera at the ready haha.
I hate to see blogs “dying” it’s horrid, I never even wanted a blog, but Alex drummed it into us how important they were and I stuck it out.
I love my little blog now, wouldn’t be without it, I think it’s also pushed me to do more and learn more or I wouldn’t have had anything to write about!
I completely agree we all have varied skills and by pooling or pulling lol, them together we can all really really help other.
Kickstart your blogging again, do a pain post, tell us all what happened, why your blog almost died a death, and get right back into it!
You will have lots to say on your London return too, so it will be perfect timing to give it a go again.
See you in a few days, Sally
Where are the announcements for all the meetings? I love meeting like minded individuals in person. The video was very well done, as I am used to the Animoto or Camtasia styles! Thanks for the extra effort that went into that.

Hi Trudy,
Well the Northallerton meetups are help every month in the UK and you can see more details here:
http://www.randysmith.co.uk/NorthallertonMeets/
For most other events you would need to be on the person holding the event’s mailing or optin list.
Facebook events are a very popular method of announcing events too, so keep your eyes peeled.
Yep I use camtasia too, but that was simply using the camtasia add on within powerpoint, very easy to do, glad you liked it.

Aww!
Wow – you featured me in your video! I’m humbled; I really am. You’ve done so much to help me, and yet I did one small thing for you and look how you’ve thanked me! (As well as all the thanks at the time, of course!). What an honour to be featured in your video!
I’m writing War & Peace at the moment as I’m doing a blog post about my holiday to Rome – sure, it may not be relevant in the world of internet marketing, but I had such a great time that I want to share it with as many people as possible! So yes, my blog does look a little neglected at the moment, but I hope in the next couple of days to finish off the Rome post…
That, plus working full time and preparing to move house means my online presence has dwindled somewhat of late – once I’ve moved and got the internet up & running then I’m planning on coming back with a vengeance. Sometimes you need to take a little break to avoid total burnout.
I’m gutted that I won’t be able to meet you at Alex & Dean’s event next weekend; typical timing that it’s just before I move house (& I have to put down a hefty deposit etc – so I’m going to be living on beans for the next couple of months!). I’ll definitely have to try to make one of Randy’s meet ups instead.
Anyway, I totally agree with your point – together, we can get so much more done than if we fumble around in the wilderness by ourselves. Team Sally all the way!

Hey Nikki,
Yep you may think it’s a small thing, but it was a very BIG GESTURE in my eyes and very much appreciated.
I am glad you are being more personal on your blog, just because we do I.M doesn’t mean we can’t talk about our personal lives (within reason lol) I have blogged about everything and anything, and people like it, and I like when other people give me a peek into their lives too.
Yep you’re a busy girl right now, but I bet once your settled you will get into a good routine and start churning out some fab products.
It’s hard working fulltime AND running an online business but you can do it!
Yep, it’s a shame you can’t come I am dying to meet you in person and hear the posh accent, ha ha, ok ok I will shut up abt the accent now I promise.
Hopefully SEE you soon chick, good luck with the move and I hope the new house is a very happy home for ya!

p.s Loving Team Sally, I am sooooooo stealing it.

says:
Well, as you’ve pointed out above, we’re all in this together. One of my friends at work today said “Teamwork makes the dream work” which I’d never heard before as a saying, but I think your video highlights that very point.
It’s like the acronym TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More (which was drilled into me at school about a thousand years ago!).
And I want to be on Team Sally! Yep, I’m definitely liking the sound of Team Sally – maybe I’ll get some t-shirts made or something!
You know I’ve been working on a new product, well, I had a wake-up call yesterday – apparently using brand / trademark names in domain names isn’t allowed…see my latest blog post for the full story. So that’s a setback, as now I need to establish whether I can carry on using the graphics I already have (that have the name Facebook within it), or whether I should err on the side of caution and remove the word Facebook altogether. I think what I may do is just add a bit fat disclaimer at the bottom. Randy has already offered his opinion & advice on this issue which I’m really grateful for – I love how easy it can be to ask the experts!!
I can’t wait to move house, 9 days at the time of typing! Woohoo!
Yes, I will definitely have to meet up with you soon, hopefully once I’ve moved that’ll be the last big thing I’ll have to deal with for a while!
Speak soon,
Nikki xx
P.S. Please feel free to use Team Sally! Ha ha!

Hey Sally,
great to meet you yesterday at Randy’s meet up, It was nice to actually meet everyone in person.
I can’t believe how many big names were there. I think I am still a bit star struck now, it was kinda like meeting somebody famous.
Loved the video by the way. I have just started blog hopping again and had noticed that some blogs have as you say, have become graveyards, some have not been updated for over a year.
It was sad to see and for me it hit home to not let my blog end up like that and keep the posts and content going as often as I can.
People just have to understand that if everything is not going as planned they have to remain focused and not give up and eventually the success will come.
Hope to see you at a meet up in the future.
By the way look out for my next post which is going to be based around yesterdays meet up.
Thanks Sally,
Lee.

Hi Miss Sally,
Where are the tissues when you need them!!
I just sat down thinking “Cool, Sally has done a new blog post & I wonder how the weekend went…..started watching the video and then thought Oh Oooh where are the tissues!”
I am a sook at the best of times!
I love this online world, and I love the community we are creating. I feel like we are a little tribe all internet connected by this amazing tool called the internet.
And yes I do believe we will succeed.
There is a saying I often use…..
“No One Succeeds Alone”
It comes from one of my favourite books “The One Minute Millionaire” about a mother fighting to save her children and has to generate a million dollars in 90 days.
That saying is so true it isn’t funny.
Together we will all succeed, we will push each other when we need to, encourage each other when we need to and most of all believe in each other.
Hope you had an awesome weekend.
Have to go read my bubba a story for bed.
Cheers

Yep we do have the best community online, we all come from different countries, different backgrounds, different coaching programs but it makes no difference, we have bonded really well which is just fabulous for us all.
I will need to read the one minute millionaire, never read it before.
Hope your keeping well chick, and hopefully catch ya on skype soon, rushing off to Jade’s school sports day!

You will like “The One Minute Millionaire” it is written by “Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G.Allen”
The book is written as 2 books side by side. The right side tells the story and the left side is the business book.
I always read the right side. It motivates me more.
One of my all time favourites, I read at least once a year.
The story is about a single mother, fighting to save her children from being taken from her. She has to generate 1 million dollars in 90 days ethically.
She meets a mentor and learns how to create wealth.
It was the book that got me started on the internet and on my online path.
I read it for the first time when I was pregnant with Taya and it has stuck with me ever since.
Definitely go buy it or borrow from the library.

Yes, we should not neglect our blog. Some of us forget blogging after they have made a product and endorse it. I agree with you Sally, our blog is our journal. We can write all things that happens to our lives and read them back after some years. It will serve as your diary.

Hey Juda,
My point exactly! Product creation is not the be all and end all.

Really nice comment, short and sweet but very true.

and it couldn’t have been more true this evening.
I had a very, very rough day…online. Fighting with HTML pages, aWeber, and more. I was frustrated in tears and ready to throw my computer threw the window…
but instead I was lead back to my email where I found a lovely email from Dawn…
just checking in and telling me about your post.
What timing. I started watching the video and the tears dried and a smile came to my face and warmth to my heart.
You are just the best when it comes to friends Sally…
It’s people like you that have kept me going in this game…
and it was your video that lightened my heart tonight and gave me a reason to smile…
I am blessed indeed.

I am glad the video was heart warming for ya, you’re toughing it out right now but all the hard work will pay off someday soon for you I just know it will.
So you stick at it chick, and one day you will look back at these days and SMILE!
You have always been a good friend to me and if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t even have Camtasia and been able to do all the videos I have done so far, so thank you!
If we do good things, good things really do come back to us, so Karma will be knocking on your door soon enough.
Speak to ya soon, Sally x
I’ve made the mistake before of neglecting and and allowing a blog to die. It took until I started blogging about something that I loved that blogging really clicked for me.
That and having a vibrant community to keep you motivated and inspired. Thanks for the video.

Hey Sally
Well I loved it of course as it gave me a nice warm feeling inside so thank you for making my day.
Can I be in Team Sally (lol)
What I really loved about your video was that you told it how it really is in marketing and didn’t put on this fancy act that it’s easy like a lot of the other experts do.
Plus you gave everyone that is having a hard time hope that there is light at the end of the tunnell.
Yes it is hard to make it online but it is soooooo much easier if people stick together and help each other get where they want to be.
I hope everyone can see from your video why building a relationship with other marketers is so important and it encourages them to go on and do it for themselves…
You have such a great talent for motivating people in a way that others can’t Sally and that is why I’m going to keep on at you and on at you until you open up your own coaching program.
You have been through so much and done so much for other people that I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that you are going to get the success you desire and you thoroughly deserve it.

I think by now we all kinda know that Marketing is not as easy as we were perhaps made out to believe when we first started online.
Glad you see the point of the video is making friends online and helping each other (you already do that anyway) but many people don’t and they are missing out big time.
If we look at many successful marketers, they didn’t make it on their own, they got help from other people… be that coaching, mentoring, jv partnerships, or even just “shout-outs” from their online friends.
My coaching program is on it’s way very soon …watch this space.

Hiya Sally, you got me at it again
Thank you for the mentions, I am touched and very grateful
Another excellent video and the message really did come across in such a way that even the brand new blogger can see that if we stick together we can all make it happen for each other.
I also have found blogs that are dormant and find it sad that people have thrown the towel in. Likewise when I visit a blog and see that the person isn’t receiving any comments I feel sad for them and want to shout out Get Blog Hopping and bring some traffic home.
Whilst talking to one of my brothers recently I was telling him about my blog and some of the other blogs I visit and he said that it sounds like we’re building our own little community, which I know we are but I didn’t realise it until he’d said it.
Its really funny how these things come together Sally. As you know when I find a little gem online I love to Pass it on as I know it’ll help others as it has helped me. I first started doing this with your video on creating ebook covers and have been doing it ever since.
When I saw Dawn’s fantastic offer of transcribing an interview I knew some people that would love the opportunity so I pointed them in Dawn’s direction.
For doing so Dawn made me a winner as well and has offered me a free transcription
and I got a copy of your eBook (great read by the way).
It couldn’t have come at a better time Sally, remember my last comment? I was saying about not being on Facebook yet as I wanted to create a quality product to offer my blog subscribers…….. well look what has happened now…. Just from Passing it on.
All I have to do now is find a person to target and think of the questions to ask……Which is why I wrote a post asking my readers for their advice.
Thanks again for the mentions Sally,
Respect and Regards,
Barry

Hey Barry, glad you like the graphics and pics I use, I always like to put a little twist or theme in my ebooks, sometimes ebooks are sooooooo boring, so it’s nice to have something to break up all the text.
Glad you like the video, yep it seems to be reducing grown men (and women) to tears, not quite the effect I was expecting, but I guess when you share your true feelings people can relate to it.
If we all share our little gems we really do help each other achieve success faster, too many people sit on the “gems” and don’t share them, kinda silly really!
That’s fab your gonna have your own super duper unique product to offer people and help them, cant wait to see what you come up with cos I know it will be a “beauty”.
I will pop over and read your post now, always happy to offer advice to my friends.

I’ve always believed that you need a circle of friends within the same industry that you can interact with, because if you are trying to do it on your own – then where is that going to get you. Flat on your face, most likely.
You are a great lady and I am really happy to know you

Yeah I have been so lucky to get access to various products and programs thanks to simply helping others, just goes to show that you don’t have to be a pushy sales person to get forward online.
More marketers need to treat people as “real people” rather than seeing them as dollar signs.
Remember what Alex said “don’t chase money, let money chase me”
I know you also love to help others and share value too, so keep up the good work Linda, you can be part of my cool club anyday.

Hi Sally,
How many years have you been blogging? I have also seen some dead blogs that show on Google search results. I believe you’re tough enough to have stayed all these years. Despite the many factors that could have stopped you from blogging, you’re still here rockin’ the blogsphere. Keep it up!

Hi Paul
Erm I blogged years ago, when I didn’t know what I was doing… Then I had a year or so off and didn’t blog at all… then I started Marketing With Alex 3.0 (Alex Jeffreys coaching programme) and that started me blogging again in March 2010.
Yeah I guess many hurdles or roadblocks could have stopped me blogging, but instead I faced the fears and overcame the obstacles thankfully.
Thanks for saying I am rockin the blogsphere lol, that made me smile.
Speak soon, Sally

Hi David,

I mention it in my free skype ebook you can read here, if you are thinking of doing interviews too:

You could well be a pro already at interviews lol, but just incase your not.

Hi Sally,
Nice video that you got here. Internet marketing can be so frustrating but it can also be fun. I myself gain money from my blog but also enjoy the happiness from it because I can make new friends every day.

Hey Andrew, cool glad ya liked the video! Blogging is fun I like it, wouldn’t say I make a ton of money from it though, but then again thats not the purpose of my blog.
But yes, blogs are social magnets and you do make lots of lovely new friends, I completely agree with ya on that.
Catch ya later, Sally

Hey Sally,
I have to say I am not usually one to take the time to watch video posts but after seeing all the comments popping up on Facebook I thought I best check it out.
Glad I did as it’s a great video, I think you have captured the feelings of what most people go through
at times.
I have also seen a lot of dead blogs on my travels and have been very slack with my postings.
It is hard and for anyone to still be after a length of time is an achievement in itself.
Cheers,
James

Hey Paul,
Yeah I hate when people give up, it’s such a shame, no one I know will be failing, I won’t let them.
Of course you’re my friend…
You helped me set up my very first fan page with horrid FBML…
Then you helped me take it to the next level with Fast Fan Pages…
My fan page ROCKS cos of YOU.
“blogging superstar and relationship marketing supremo” ha ha ha that made me smile thanks Paul.
Speak to you soon, Sally
Great video good points about tapping into a market of people who want to read, because people who like to read use a higher level of conscience analysis when processing information. Wonderfully done!

Hi Sally,
love this video. You are right that this can be a tough but only if we make it so. Of course, the graveyard of blogs that went belly-up saddens me as well. Most people under-estimate the work that is involved and the maintenance it requires, consistently and persistently.
Thanks for letting us know that we are doing great
Love to hear that.
Keep up your great work as well !
Take care
Oliver

Hi Sally,
Nice post and video.The video is really motivational and reminded me that I started blogging as a passion and as time passed I have made it like a source of income more than a desire.I will try to get to the previous attitude so that I can enjoy it the most.

Hi Sally,
My first time to your blog – first I have to say I just LOVE your accent! Great video and message Sally. I do agree with you about what a difference it makes to partner with other entrepreneurs. Since I was introduced to blogger communities I’ve not only seen incredible growth on my blog, but more importantly, I’ve learned so much and made some incredible friends! Thanks for your inspirational message, and I look forward to returning.

Hi Sally, I am so thrilled to meet you. BTW, Devesh shared you with me and a few others. ie: He shared a lovely friend.
We online people are so COOL! ha ha. Love that.
Thought I don’t know any of the people you have shared (yet) this presentation was very touching.
You are so right, we can’t do it without out friends. I have so many new found friends that I did not expect to meet coming in… yet these people who I consider family have propelled me to heights I never thought about or realized existed.
WONDERFUL, presentation. Love the Accent! I’m a Yorkshire lass by trade, noticed Randy is too. He must be very cool as well! Currently in Canada, but OH… do I miss Jolly Old England. Can’t wait to take my two kids back ‘home’ to see where I started!
Thanks so much Sally. Lovely indeed. I hope to be seeing more of you and hope perhaps I will meet more of your ‘posse’ too!
