Changing the Font & Style of Your H1 Tags

QUESTION: (Rhonda) I am having problems changing the font size of my H1text. Is this very important? If so, how do I go about changing it?

Changing the text and/or style of an H1 tag is simple in CSS.  It does not affect anything other than how the visitor sees it though (i.e., if you use a large font, it means nothing more than a smaller font, in SEO terms or how Google sees it).

You can change the H1 tag locally or in the CSS definition file.

If you want to change all of the H1 tag settings in your entire website, you would do this in the CSS file:

h1 {
font-size: 24px;
}

You would use the h1 tag as you normally would:
<h1>This is my H1 tag</h1>

You can define a class in the CSS file which allows you to define your new style whenever you wish anywhere on the site:

.h1style {
font-size: 24px;
}

You would add this class to your h1 tag, when you wish it:

<h1 class=”h1style”>This is my H1 Tag</h1>

* Remember to add the “.” when defining it in the CSS to classify it as a class.

Finally, you can do it locally using a style attribute (without the CSS file):

<h1 style=”font-size:24px;”>This is my H1 Tag</h1>

All of the above do the exact same thing.  Their use is based on how often you use the style and how you want it defined (whether globally or locally).

Also, remember you can add other styles to the same definition (like color):

<h1 style=”font-size:24px; color:red;”>This is my H1 Tag that is Red and 24px high</h1>

I find that being able to change the styles of my text for header and other standard tags to be quite invaluable!  Knowing a little bit of CSS can go a long way.  Give this a try!

The easiest thing to try first is the local definition using the style attribute. If this is working for you, consider creating or editing your own CSS file!

Good luck!  cheers…matt

Who is Behind Marketing Mind?

Matthew Bredel begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlightingMy name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer. For close to 10 years, I worked for a defense company which was an OK job, but I was so uninspired in life and frankly, I needed some more money. That is when I first discovered internet marketing! Now I admit that I didn't start making thousands in my first couple of months (in fact, I lost my shirt!), but I finally saw the "internet light"...

(Greg) I’ve learned about Clickbank, I’ve built a blog, tried a website, tried MLM with pre-made really nice landing pages, I know youtube, tried traffic geyser, facebook, myspace, PPC, tried Dillard’s magnetic sponsoring, Jonathan Budd’s MLM Launch Formula. ezine articles tried craigslist.org… after several failed attempts, I’m afraid to try one more. BUT, I still believe there’s money to be made on the net…

OK, I think this is a very fair question to ask (because I know many of you have experienced this!).

Now to be fair, I’m answering this in more general terms since I really do not know the details of your efforts or what you have tried to do.  But there is a pattern (at least in the question you pose) that is really worth addressing…

The one thing that popped out at me on your JustAskMatt question is the number of completely different things you have tried.  Lots of apples and oranges here.  When I first started, I went after affiliate marketing (in the Clickbank space to be exact).  I grinded away at one niche and one website.  I focused primarily on PPC at first.  And yes, I lost a couple of hundred bucks.  But I learned a lot and after a couple of months, I got my first sale.  It wasn’t profitable until the 4th month (and that was like a few bucks).

My point is to really fight for one thing and go with it.  The biggest problem with internet marketing are the distractions.  There are so many methods out there and “the next best thing” is always around the corner.  And it is fine to explore these things, but get the first one working first.

And I know, the “implied” second question: “Which one is best to do first?”

That is up to you.  One thing you do have right now is an understanding on what is out there.  Follow the one that works *best* for you.  Me personally, I am good at affiliate marketing and SEO.  I personally don’t like doing social media that much and I am not much of a salesman, so things like MLM’s I don’t pursue.  That is best for me.  Find your niche.  Then find the avenue that suites you best to monetize it.  And then just focus (good or bad).  Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?  Neither is this.

Hang in there Greg!  Despite what most adcopy may say, their WILL be hurdles to overcome.

cheers…matt
