Inspiration:
James and Charles talk about how to
get the most out of the handbook. James
has recently completed an online bootcamp
with owners of the handbook. The next
online bootcamp starts November 15th.
James will be at
Webmaster World's
"PubCon" in Vegas on the
14th, 15th and 16th. This is an annual
meeting of webmasters and search engine
companies getting together to talk about
what is happening in the world of search
engines. The online bootcamp is basically
the process of walking people through
the handbook step by step on a very
specific timetable. James and Charles
review the online bootcamp and what
James thought about how he feels about
the success of the bootcamp. Participants
in the bootcamp appreciated the interactivity
of the bootcamp. It was also a big plus
that others like Mary and Jamie Ferguson
talking about their PAD experience and
Bronwyn talking about inbound links
– it wasn’t all James Martell talking
about the process. James and Charles
talk about the success of some students.
Some students aren’t aware that there
are online video tutorials accessible
on the updates page. Whenever someone
reading the handbook sees the video
icon in the handbook it is an indication
that there is a video available for
that subject. Staples has set up a service
that will allow owners of the handbook
to send them the handbook file to be
printed – normally this would not be
possible with such a large PDF file.
James and Charles talk about the importance
of taking each step one at a time and
not jumping ahead. The secret to doing
things is to not move to the next step
until you fully complete the one you
are working on. James says that as good
as the online bootcamp is, it really
isn’t necessary to make things work
if people just follow the steps in the
handbook. There are new things on the
updates page so be sure to login.
