Playing With The Code

Posted in: categorized by Steven on April 2, 2010 | View Comments

Hi there,

Today I’m going to make it very quick because the video explains everything. In this video I’ll touch on a tool that I use really often in my professional life. The tool is pretty straight forward to me since I use it everyday but it may not be the case for you if today is the first time that you see it.

Watch the video and see for yourself.

You may never have to use this tool but now you know that I can

Have a great day! Take advantage of the sun if you get a chance today. I just went for a walk outside a few minutes ago and let me tell you that it was well worth it.

Speak to you soon!

All there is to know about Blogology

Posted in: categorized by Steven on March 18, 2010 | View Comments

In this post I’m going to do my best to answer most of the questions that you’ve asked me about Blogology (the only blog mastering training available in Ottawa). Let’s jump right into it.

1. Is it still possible to register? We’ve closed the door last week but if you really want to get in and get a chance to learn the basics of blogging and a few secrets that are unknown to most blogger online join my newsletter (by clicking on the word newsletter) and I will make sure to provide you with a lease one occasion to join in next week.
2. Who should register? You should register if you are an individual or part of a small business looking at seriously increasing your visibility and your relevance online. In Blogology you will learn more than enough to get started and to promote yourself, your product or services to the world.
3. Who will be providing  the training?Believe it or not, I will be teaching you Blogology. If you don’t know much about me. My name is Steven Leconte and I’ve been operating in the world of IT and internet marketing for the last 10 years. I’m well versed in programming, web design, online marketing and social media.  Most of you probably joined the training because you know me but in case you haven’t met me or worked with me yet let me share a few things with you that will help you understand the incredible value that you’ll be getting while participating to Blogology. Over the last 90 days alone I have:
   1. Powered a website in less than 24 hours for someone who had lost everything on their blog;
   2. Powered a website for someone that in Thailand that I have never seen in my life. Him and is brother were new to the Internet and the help I provided them  with is helping them sell beautiful clothes to clever people;
   3. Powered a custom made report for some of my clients to help them track all the activities on their websites;
   4. Found an investor willing to invest over 40 000$ in my next investment project;
   5. Helped launched a freelancing business that made over 1000$ on the first day;
   6. Got interviewed by a radio in New Zealand;
   7. Started to put together the Blogology training program;
   8. Launched a free action oriented newsletter to help people grow their online businesses;
   9. Started working on my upcoming live training on social media training with a social media expert;
   10. and  much more.
4. I’m not in Ottawa (or I travel  a lot), can I still take the training? Of course, as long as you have access to Internet and an email address it will be possible for you to take part in this.
5. I don’t want to waste my time, will I really learn something?Of course you will. I know that your time is valuable and I wouldn’t want to waste your time. In fact I suggested to some people to pass on this training because I wasn’t 100% sure that it would be of enough value to them.
6. I don’t have a blog or a website? How can you teach me how to use one?By the end of the training you will have a blog or a website and you will know how to use it to add content (images, text, videos) and how to get some traffic to it.
7. Is it free? The blog setup is free. The training is free but you will have to pay to have your blog hosted by me so that I can support you and troubleshoot should there be a problem during the training. The cost for hosting will be 120$ for a year.
8. How long will the training be?The training will be about a month, maybe a little bit more. Since this is a very private group. I will take your feedback and we can go over some of the concept to make sure that you understand everything perfectly.
9. If I already have a blog hosted by you, do I still have to pay?If you are already one of  my client all I ask of you is to review your hosting package for a year and you’re in. If you received a discount as part of a previous promotion, you will have to pay the full 120$ for this year to have access to Blogology.
10. I’m so pumped, when does it start?It all started on April 3rd 2010 but I will obviously send you some information prior to April 3rd to help you get setup.
11. How do I pay? If you have a paypal account, hang tight. I will create a page on my site to help you proceed with your payment. If you happen to see me before April 3rd I’d be more than happy to take cash.
12. If I have any questions about Blogology what’s the best way to contact you?If you are on Twitter. Leave me a question with the hashtag #blogology. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, don’t worry, you will at the end of all this. For the time being you can send me an email by leaving a message on my contact page.  You know what, forget all that, just leave me a comment at the end of this post, way quicker.
13. The blog or website, will it be a fully designed one? No,  your blog or website will not be a fully designed one with a custom made logo but it will help you get by. If you are happy with it and decide that you want to continue to use it you are welcome to do so. If you want to add a little something to it let me know by the end of the training and I chance the design for you.

These are the questions that I’ve received so far. I hope that my answers will help you understand a little more what you’re getting into.  If I get more questions, I will add the answers here.

Talk to to you soon.

Steven Leconte, your webmaster

Alone with my Blackberry

Posted in: About Moi by Steven on March 10, 2010 | View Comments

The other day I tried to post something on my blog from my Blackberry and it didn’t work for me.

I got frustrated and gave up on it but I decided to try again.

So here we go again…

I’m on my Blackberry and I just took a picture of the long and lonely road that most people wallk on everyday when starting a business or a website.

How does business feels like this?

I learned this year that collaboration is the name of the game. If you feel like a loner in your market. I challenge you to change that and to try teamwork for a change.

If you work alone I’d be interested to know how it feels to do everything by yourself.

I use to love it until my business started to pick up then I hated it.

What’s your views on working in a business alone?

Lonely road to the top

My new youtube channel

Posted in: Make Money Online by Steven on March 8, 2010 | View Comments

Last week I create a new Youtube channel and recorded my first video. I haven’t recorded in a while so it may show but I wanted to put this information online for you to see because I think that it will inspire you to take action on your ideas.

Here’s the video if you haven’t had a chance to see it.

A lot of people have ideas but they don’t act on them. Acting on your ideas is the only way to produce results.

• If you want to lose wait, you go to the gym and eat less.
• If you want to get a better job, you apply for them.
• If you want to get a school degree its important to study.
• If you want to get out of debt you need to stop using your credit cards.
• If you want to by a house you need to start saving.
• If you want to learn a new language you need to practice.
• If you want to make more money, you need to start producing ideas.

You get the idea don’t you? Well in my video that I created in my new Youtube channel I’m showcasing an idea that produced more than 1 000 000$ within a very short period of time for the people that thought about it.

The only difference between them and some of you is that they actually went ahead, got out of their comfort zone and try it.

It is when you cross that line that beautiful things can happen.

This is true in all our human relationship but its also true in business and in life in general.

Do you have ideas that you’ve always been scared to try out? I’d like to hear from you on this, we all have such ideas.
