I want you to notice what I’m using (and what you should be).

That link is like my own private research assistant.

It tells me what’s working and what’s not.

For example, take a look at this screen shot from a recent email campaign I did in one of my niche markets…

The year was 2004.

I had just finished my very first product and I was beaming from ear to ear.

The next step was to actually “sell it”.

But how?

Well I had heard about this thing called “Google Adwords”.

“It’s super simple” they said.

“Just a couple clicks and then WHAMO… tons of traffic to your site.”

Sounds easy right?

I thought so and so I jumped right in.

Sure enough, it only took a couple clicks and I was all setup and ready to go.

Then I “flipped the switch”.

Sometimes life (and business) can feel like a roller coaster.

Let me explain…

Last weekend was one of the best weekends we’ve ever had for our new business.

We held our second WishList Member LIVE workshop (which was a great success) and we also had one of our most profitable weekends in sales of WishList Member.

So needless to say, my business partner (Tracy Childers) and I were flying high as we took our families on a mini vacation to Niagara and Toronto following the seminar.

It was a blast and we had a lot of fun showing Tracy and his family Southern Ontario.

Then yesterday my wife and I got the news…

One of my closest friends shared the news that he’s decided to go for Olympic dreams.

The only problem was that he had built a multi-million dollar company with 40+ employees that still needed his attention – not to mention the fact that he has 3 kids and a wonderful wife who would also like to spend time with him

So how does he have the time to train for 4+ hours a day while maintaining everything else?

During the Armand Live event, Armand decided to share his strategy behind the launch of his Internet Marketing Newsletter with the audience.

The problem was, a few affiliates who were in the audience got a little excited and emailed their list BEFORE the site was actually finished!

Let’s just say that it caused a little “panic” during the lunch break.  Here’s a quick video of Armand scrambling to get the site up

Selecting the right membership site software can be a daunting task – especially because not getting it right can result in an extremely frustrating experience (for you and your members).

That’s one of the reasons WordPress has quickly become a fan favorite for managing the content.

Using WordPress as the foundation of your site will give you a tremendous amount of flexibility and freedom because of the many plugins that are readily available.

These plugins allow you to control the “experience” your members have with your membership site and they also make it easier for you (the membership site owner) to manage the content, member’s info and much more.

So what WordPress plugins work best with a membership site?

Here is one that I highly recommend…

Sometimes I come across things in business and smack my head in disbelief that something so obvious would go unnoticed (I’ll share a recent example in a minute).

The truth of the matter is, most small business owners have fallen victim to these types of things which I call “Business Blind Spots”.

I tried for months to figure out how to create a membership site using WordPress.  The problem was, I could never find a solution that did everything I wanted it to do.

To make matters worse, when I did find something I thought would work, it was a technical nightmare to get configured and setup.

If you’ve ever found yourself in the same situation, I have good news

Now there is a solution that is easy to setup and was built specifically for WordPress.  You can see how I’m using it by watching the video below:
