Last night Joel and I facilitated our first live teleconference as part of the support for the Income Blogging Guide delegates.
We used https://www.hidefconferencing.com/ for the teleconference service.
With this service, as moderator, you can mute all other callers. They can request to speak through a “hand-raising” feature, and you can mute and un-mute individuals online. It’s real simple.
Last week we tested it and all worked fine.
We sent out the invite email to all the membership sign-ups.
Yesterday, we tested it again. Being our first one, we wanted everything to go well.
“First impressions count”, we thought.
“How many do you think will turn up?” I asked Joel.
“Hopefully, all of them!”
“I doubt it. It would be nice to have a few on, to get the questions started”.
The time was getting closer to the actual start.
“Shall we test again?”
“Yeah – let’s”
We did and all was working fine.
We wrote our opening script and decided who would open and what we would say.
We both logged into the teleconference service, 10 minutes before the actual start time.
We waited, nervously.
Someone joined us.
Another joined. Then another. Then another. Then more and more.
We were up to capacity. There were no more lines available.
Joel pressed the ‘record’ button and we were off!
Over ninety minutes of keen and eager individuals asked us question after question after question. It was great fun.
Just some of the topics we covered included:
- Advantages of premium themes
- How to start Guest posting
- How and where to get great header banners designed
- How to reduce your hosting overheads by using add-on domains
- The tactics to triple your back-links, every time you post a blog
- Choosing a niche
- Having a hook and how to be different to the competition
- Traffic getting plugins
- Using a static page as a home page
- Transferring a site to WordPress
- Getting e-book covers designed
We finished.
“I hope I pressed the record button” stated Joel
“Yeah, so do I!”
He had.
We added the recording to the private forum for all those who couldn’t make the live call.
I came off the call on a high. The adrenaline, I suppose, of being able to help people and being able to answer all their questions.
It’s such a great feeling when you have very keen and excited people wanting to progress their on-line business. It makes it easier when people are positive, energized and thankful.
Joel and I hold our next one in a week’s time and I cannot wait. I hope it goes as well.

Andrew
is highly knowledgeable about blogs, and you can get your blog up and running
successfully and fast. Andrew has helped me immeasurably with
my blog and he is patient and good natured and a wonderful teacher. 
I
was impressed with the excellent service. 
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business. 
I wanted a stylish website that presented my original abstract art in a visually attractive way. Andrew came highly recommended to me as a "no nonsense" practitioner. He does exactly what he says he will do: I give him the parameters to work within and he provides a quick and precise service. You will receive nothing but the best from Andrew!
Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
Andrew is the real deal and he knows his stuff! His customer service is superb and he gets your work done FAST! You won't need to wait around for endless weeks to see results. Most importantly he works on the site as if it's his own, thus you are assured that you will get the best quality service. I now give Andrew all of my new and old sites to work on. Trust me; you cannot go wrong with this gentleman!
I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
Andrew Rondeau is the genius behind http://www.webuildyourblog.com.
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.
The best blog builder, and the best blog maintenance, I've ever met is Andrew Rondeau. This fellow is an authentic professional in every sense of the word. He's lightning fast, knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He goes the extra mile. He's able to share his passion for his work and products without being pushy. He as other great internet skills, too, but his most impressive attribute is mastery of website building.
Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
Andrew
at WeBuildYourBlog.com is the most responsive and flexible person
I've worked with.

Paypal or credit card is the payment. The promotion has gone well. Hard work, though! With the numbers we have signed up, we will be closing access to the membership very soon.
Andrew
I can imagine how exciting the feeling that has been. It’s just so nice to have a work that has something to do with helping people. That’s bliss! It’s very seldom that we find it in our previous corporate jobs.
