It Keeps Getting Better All The Time…

I just logged into my Sweetie Saturday Report Club membership to grab my February goodies and as always, I’m impressed. If you’re not familiar with the The Report Club, it’s put together by one of my favorite and ultra-practical Internet marketing teachers, Alice Seba. The club is an incredibly affordable way to receive concise, no-fluff, no fad guidance for your online business.

This month’s report is all about creative ways for using WordPress – and was put together guest writer and tech expert, Lynette Chandler. The quick guide offers 40 types of sites you can build with WordPress (it’s not just for blogs anymore) and tons of suggesting for adding features and functionality to your websites.

Allen discusses information overload versus potential meaning overload.

Use Free Tools First
 
My previous articles focused on using free or low cost programs to start up an internet marketing venture.  I recommended Ed Dale’s Thrity Day Challenge and Thirty Day Challenge Plus programs.  If you followed them you would have become familiar with another excellent free tool called WordPressDirect.  With just those programs I have successfully designed and published seven or eight websites and have begun to earn money through Google Adsense.
 
Get the Essentials Second
 
If you followed the steps offered in Ed’s free program you would discover that Ed does recommend you eventually purchases some lost cost tools.  To effective promote your business you are going to want to eventually host your web pages on somewhere other that WordPress.  You are going to want to collect email address and send out automated responses when your readers sign up for your newsletter or buy a program from you.  You will likely want to expedite some of the keyword and content research. 
 
All this can be done on a limited budget of less than $100 a month.  I personally opted to host my pages at Hostgater, use AWeber autoresponder service and purchased Market Samurai to help with reseach.
 
Taking the Big Leap to Success

 
I’m at a point where I’m almost confortable with blogging.  I have learned to get behind the scenes and tweak my blogs a bit.  I am still do research on keywords and I have decided on a particular niche for a product yet. So now after keeping a tightly reigned in budget. Why would I decide to take such a big leap as buying into Frank Kern’s Mass Control 2.0?  Several reasons.
 
It just seems like the timing and the price is right this time. Since retiring in December, I have the time to devote to the business now.  Frank’s programs always offer a lot of bang for the buck and this one was even priced within reach.  On top of that, Marty Rozmanith of WordPressDirect sweetened the deal with an offer that offset my cost by almost half.  Marty is offering an upgrade to a new Platinum level WPD membership at a fantastic price AND by signing up for Mass Control 2.0 though his link I am getting that Platinum membership for four months FREE.    That in itself saves me $800.  So this brings my cost of MC 2.0 to $1200.  I’m willing to give that a chance.

In a recent article by Glenn Ferguson,  Getting Out of Your Recession, Ferguson suggest we review the facts and determine if we are personally experiencing the key factors that define a recession.  The primary cause of a recession sited is reduced spending by the consumer.  All the incentive programs recommended by our political leaders are designed to do one thing, encourage us the consumers to spend money more freely.

Of course, the other four items listed in Ferguson’s article tend to put a major damper on our inclination to spend our nest eggs, these being: reduced production, growing unemployment, declining personal income and unstable stock markets.
