New Advanced Lesson Added to Traffic Rush
I’ve developed a home study course on the usage of StumbleUpon to drive traffic to your website. This project is the account of my progress in developing and marketing that course. The course is now LIVE, is called Traffic Rush and you can enroll right now at http://www.traffic-rush.net/.
How to Ask For Stumbles Without Being a Jerk!
I’ve been working on part #14 of Traffic Rush which is probably my favourite lesson of all - “How to Build a Massive, Loyal Fan Base” and that was supposed to include a section about asking your friends for stumbles but the original lesson is already too big and I found some more I wanted to say about it so I decided to split it out into it’s own lesson.
However, I didn’t really want to extend the course so I have merged two of the other lessons into a single one. I have merged “Using Web 2.0 to Virally Increase Your StumbleUpon Exposure” and “Power Tools for Getting the Edge in StumbleUpon” into a single lesson which I’ve called “Viral Web 2.0 Integration & Cutting Edge Power Tools”. I have adjusted the curriculum accordingly.
The Dangers of Writing As You Go Along
I’ve been working on this course for a long time (mainly due to procrastination on my part!) and a few people have suggested to me that instead of developing the whole thing up front, that I should simply write one or two lessons and release them and then continue to work on it while the earlier lessons are released.
While this sounds like a good idea in principal, the downside is that it does not allow for later editing. I find that I am constantly going back and editing the lessons I have already written as I write the new material and of course I wouldn’t be able to just add entire lessons and shuffle things around like I just have if I was just releasing the content one step at a time.
I do wonder if that is just me though? I know several other people who have released courses, coaching programs etc on an on-going basis without having much material up front and they simply write it as they go along. I like to keep fiddling with things! Shame I don’t spot more of my typos when I fiddle :-)
I know some of you have been waiting for this course for ages but the end result will be much better this way and it really isn’t far off now!

I think you’re just teasing us by making us wait, Caroline ;)
A fine marketing strategy though…
