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…

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.

One of the things that first scared me about membership sites was the idea of having to generate fresh content every month.

Sometimes, it can be hard enough coming up with content for a stand alone product let alone doing it on a monthly basis!

However, there are several strategies that can dramatically help you speed up the process – especially if you are running a membership site because many of these strategies rely on your members who are creating the content for you!

A few weeks ago I was given a reality check.

I asked everyone on my email list what they thought of my logo for my new membership site.

Well the results were very lopsided and the majority of the people agreed… GET RID OF THE LOGO!

I was disappointed at first because it meant I had to redesign the membership site, the 40+ videos we had already created and a bunch of other things.
