  • Splash Page for SLH Mastery

    angrycrab.png

    First, the SeaLifeHits surf badges are the usual Turtles today not Angry Crabs.  Maybe tomorrow.

    Yesterday, I told you I was going to work on the splash pages I needed to qualify for SeaLifeHits Mastery challenge in ClickTrackProfits. I got one done. Here is what I came up with.

    Attacking Fish

    I would love to know what you think about it. The more feedback I can get the better. So, please, take a few seconds, view the page and let me know what you think – good and bad. I really appreciate your time and efforts to provide feedback.

    Also, as predicted yesterday, creating this squeeze page took me a lot longer than it should. As you probably noticed, I used Adkreator to create the page. It made creating the page fairly easy. The thing that slowed me down the most was picking a template to use. There is almost 200 squeeze page templates and I looked at every one before I picked one. Then, I had to figure out a workaround for an Adkreator limitation. It doesn’t provide a way to assign a URL to the button. I got around this by making the whole page a link. You got to do what you got to do.

    I call it a limitation but I think it actually is an advantage for many part-time affiliate marketers. Adkreator is designed to produce very professional looking graphics for those of us who have no desire to become graphic artists. It is not uncommon to reduce functionality in order to make use easier. I think Adkreator has done an outstanding job combining ease of use with functionality. I am sure you have used software that has so much functionality that it becomes very difficult to use.

    This was very true of the video editor I used called VideoPad by NCH Software. This software lets you combine videos, add images, modify sound tracks and I am sure much, much more. All I needed to do was create a short clip from a longer video. Creating the short clip was no problem but saving it. I found another one of my workarounds to save the clip. I exported it and that seems to have saved it but I still don’t know how to just save an edited video even after reading and watching all the tutorials. Maybe I will figure it out next time I use the software.

    Now I need to move on to the second splash page I need (no guarantee it will be done tomorrow) and continue my quest for Angry Crabs.

  • A Productive Day at CTP

    I missed a few days of posting on Steem regretfully. But what is did for me is give me a direction for this and my Steem blogs. I am going focus on my ClickTrackProfit experiences. Lord knows there are many, many things to write about. Below is my first post along those lines.

    I swore I was going to post here everyday. Well, that didn’t work out. I absolutely have to make this a priority. I will never get better at creating posts if I don’t work at it. Hopefully, today’s accomplishments made time available.

    I have been working on the various Mastery tasks in ClickTrackProfits. In particular, I have been working on the mastery tasks for SeaLifeHits Traffic Exchange. One of the tasks to obtain Mastery of SeaLifeHits is titled ‘Surf Badges’. Completing this task requires claiming all the turtle badges 50-1000 15 times. I finished that task today. It takes a long time to surf 1000 sites. I don’t have to do that any more – YEAH!

    I do still have to complete the ‘Surf More’ tasks which requires claiming all the Angry Crab badges 50-1000 10 times and I only have 1. The problem with this task is I never know when the Angry Crab badges are going to be used instead of the Turtle badges. I just have to login everyday and surf 50 sites to see if it is a Turtle or Angry Crab badge day. (And there are days with no badges.) It doesn’t take that long to surf 50 sites so that isn’t a big deal. It is just a matter of them showing up. I will get there.

  • Steem Day 2

    Hello everyone,

    I made it to Steem for the second time. This time was much easier than yesterday. I managed to log right in, at least for blogging and all the other features that allows me to do. I am looking forward to exploring others blogs and commenting as appropriate.

    I discovered this morning that I received several badges; e.g., my 1st post. I will have to investigate what the badges mean and what badges are available. I also noticed the number after my name had changed from 25 to 28. One more thing to investigate and learn what it means. I am going to guess that the number is some type of rating. But, I will find out.

    I am sure you noticed how terrible my blog’s header looks. One more thing for me learn about and fix. I can do graphics at an elementary level but they take me a long time because I don’t do them very often. I want to look around in Steem and see what others do for blog headers. Hopefully, I can get some inspiration from others.

    This morning in SteemSavvy, I learned about payment is Steem. This is definitely a lesson I will definitely view more than once to make sure I understand. I know next to nothing about crypto currencies so yet another topic I need to learn about to fully understand Steem.

    I need to start my research so I am going to end this entry for now.

    As always, I thank everyone who takes the time to read my posts and encourage all comments. I need all the help I can get to become proficient in Steem.

    Thank You,
    Bob Caine

    Logged in without a problem - YEAH!

  • My First Steem Post

    The following post was my very first adventure into Steem. I am going to copy the posts I created in Steem before I installed SteemPress and then I will try a short post to learn how SteemPress works.

    Hello Steem World,

    My name is Bob Caine and I am brand new to the world of Steem. I have been learning about Steem through the training on ClickTrackProfit and SteemSavvy. At the moment, I am on information overload trying to understand the ins and outs of Steem. I realized that the only way I am really going to learn how Steem works is by using it.

    I spent a good 30 minutes this morning just trying to get logged in to follow Jon Olson. But the age old trial and error method finally was successful as you can tell by the fact I am posting this blog entry. I plan on posting several times a week just to report on my Steem Educational Journey. Once I get more comfortable with the functions of Steem, I will expand the focus of my posts.

    I know there is a lot to learn and am going to take Jon’s advice. I will not try to rush to learn it all. I will take my time and make sure I understand what I am learning. I have already discovered that there is a whole new way to stylize my posts that I have to learn.

    Wish me luck. All advice is welcome and encouraged.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my first post,
    Bob Caine

    I Will Find the KEY!
