      Thanks Rebecca! I hadn’t written about Advanced Marketing Institute before. Nice to hear from you!

    How do you find these obscure websites that provide such wonderful information. You are like a walking or writing encyclopedia

    • Janice Wald

      Hi! Thank you so much for the reblog! I am so flattered! I’m glad you found it interesting, and I hope your readers do too.
      Janice

  2. awesomeausterity

    Janice – I love you!! I’ve just increased my score from 22% to 50% let’s see how my page views correspond! I am really enjoying your blog- it is so helpful. Thank you for all your help.

    • Janice Wald

      Thank you so much! I’m so glad! What label did you get? My headline was spiritual. Your comments made me feel great! Thank you!

      • awesomeausterity

        I got intellectual and spiritual – which I think was ok since it’s an informative piece. Can’t wait to write my next headline now!

    • Janice Wald

      Hi,
      I meant to ask you–what tweak did you make to your headline to get it to jump from 22% to 50%, and what were your page views on it?
      I typed in the headline “formula” I learned from Jon Morrow. My result was 12%! However, the “spiritual” comments were so glowing, I let the headline stand. My page views were just okay.
      That’s why I’m curious. I’d like to learn from what you did. Thanks,
      Janice

      • awesomeausterity

        I can’t remember – I think maybe I took out a number and added in ‘easy’ page views were really poor though- I don’t blame you though I think maybe the topic just wasn’t interesting or maybe I posted on Facebook at the wrong time, I also had an ongoing post generating a lot of buzz at the same time and I wonder if it distracted some of my regular readers. I used the tool again for my next post and it performed well above average. I’m still getting most of my traffic from Facebook so I’m not sure my title is playing that strong a role at present. I’ll keep using the tool though.

    Thanks for the insight 🙂 I’ll definitely try this! Really like your blog, keep doing what you’re doing! The layout is also very nice 🙂

    • Janice Wald

      Hi Natasha!
      I think we met in the WordPress Community Pool, yes? I really appreciate your feedback and that of the people in our class. However, you, and the others mentioned the layout. Do you mean the camel? Thanks again for the input and being so supportive.
      Janice

      • Natasha B

        Hey!
        Yes, we did 🙂
        By layout yes i meant the image and the wooden backdrop, they make it really interesting plus the way the menus have been arranged, it’s simple to navigate.
        No problem, always willing to help a fellow blogger, all the best, looking forward to more!

    • Janice Wald

      Thanks so much Natasha. Sounds like you had a nice time networking at the Meet and Greet. I’m glad.
      Janice

    • Janice Wald

      Hi,
      Thank you so much for the positive feedback. When you say “the background” do you mean the camel? Some people think I should get a more “professional” look. What do you think? Thanks again,
      Janice

      • Julia

        At the end of the day what are the “professional colours”? :))) I think no matter what you write about, your blog needs to be welcoming and as most people are very visual, pictures and background colours are important but really your passion gives personality and substance to your page:) I think you can change the camel but otherwise you are good:) Julia

    Thanks for the tips! Have you ever used the CoSchedule Headline Analyzer? It’s AWESOME and also FREE. It breaks down your headline and tells you why you got the score you did, based on word mix, length, emotion, etc. And they also have a “Power Words Cheatsheet” with over 200 power words. Check it out at http://coschedule.com/headline-analyzer.

    • Janice Wald

      Thanks so much. I’d heard of Co-Schedule, but I am so happy with Hootsuite I haven’t checked it out primarily because I believe there’s a minimal charge with Co-Schedule while Hootsuite if free. There’s no charge to use their headline analyzer? I hadn’t heard of it. Thank you for telling my readers about it. I will bookmark it and check it out tomorrow. Excited. Did you contrast it with the one I recommended in this post? I wonder which is preferable. Yours sounds pretty good. Off to bookmark it right now. Thank you again for recommending it.
      Janice

      • Janice Wald

        I bookmarked it. If it works out for me, maybe I can write a future blog post about it. =)
        Thanks again,
        Janice

    • Janice Wald

      Hi Daniela
      , I wanted you to know I used the Co-Schedule Headline Analyzer you recommended. It was actually fun! I kept experimenting until the number went up. Ultimately, it gave me a 77, up from 74, and 75. It said it was an A+ which was strange since at school 77 is a C!
      I wanted to let you know page views on the post are amazingly high, especially for a Tuesday. It’s hard to know how the post would have done if I hadn’t used Co-Schedule’s analyzer, but so far, early returns are terrific! Thank you again!
      Janice

    That is really attention-grabbing, You’re a very professional blogger. I’ve joined your feed and look ahead to in the hunt for more of your great post. Also, I have shared your web site in my social networks

    • Janice Wald

      One reason I really appreciate you sharing my writing with your social networks is I get very limited exposure on Facebook. I promote my posts in their groups, but virtually none of my FB friends are bloggers. Are yours?
      Janice

  8. Janice Wald

    Hi Loren,
    Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for your kind words and following me in your reader. Thank you as well for getting my writing more exposure by sharing it. All this validation means a lot.
    As far as the article, read my latest comment to Daniela. I used the Co-Schedule Analyzer she recommended, and my post went viral! Coincidence? Who knows, but I will definitely try it again. Thanks for writing.
    Janice
