Welcome Members! Where
Have I Been?! Well, as much as I hate to get personal, my life is undergoing radical transformations in all areas and I really must take the time to address them. Challenges I'm facing include juggling a wide variety of responsibilities within the inadequate 24 hours allotted per day. :) Most pressing is managing work committments against a summer schedule that has my children at home (in my office!) every minute of every day. This message is a testament to my ever increasing ability to achieve balance, but you may find that they won't come as regularly as you're used to for the duration of the Summer. I've had to shift my priorities to some extent and these updates take time and effort to produce. Of course, those of you who communicate with me regularly know that after my children, you are my highest priority. :) Increased client interaction is what's taking up most of my work time and honestly, I love it. I check for email regularly and am readily available to answer your questions and support you in every way. The
Ultimate Autoresponder Solution I didn't want to be dependant on a third party service anymore. I wanted complete control of subscription and confirmation as well as automatic emailing for as many messages as I pleased. I had no idea what a tall order that was. I talked to my friend Roy Houston, I told him what I wanted and he got on it. We looked at a lot of different scripts that we might use on my site, but none of them was quite right. I was starting to lose hope until one day he came back to me and said he figured how to get one of those scripts to work! He installed it and configured it and now, finally, I have complete control over all of my autoresponder messages series! Do you want to hear the best part? It's a free script! That's right, totally free! Can you believe it? What's the catch? It does sound too good to be true doesn't it? The catch is installing and configuring it. I mean if someone had handed this to me on a silver platter and said, "Here you go!" I wouldn't have been able to do a thing with it. Roy's help was essential. I asked Roy if he would do this kind of thing for others and he agreed to install and configure this autoresponder script only for ONE STOP Members at the incredibly low cost of just $20. Think about it. You can finally put an end to monthly payments forever for the cost of just one month of service! Click here for full details. Note: This is a free autoresponder script that Roy did not create. He has only agreed (and graciously I might add) to install and configure this freely available script onto your web site. Be sure to see the import limitations. The
Ultimate Search Engine Tools Nichebot.com offers a whole suite of free tools designed to help you increase your popularity with search engines and it just might replace the need for any other resources. I haven't had time to try them all yet, but check out "Overture Keywords." It not only tells you how many times keyword phrases have been used in searches, it tells you about the competition for each term too! Their "Google Keyword Ranking" tool is cool too. You type in your site and keywords and they check your position up to 1000 deep at Google. I'll be adding both of these great resources to the Members' Area very soon. For now, these are the only links. Tip
of the Week - Summer is Here! This is not to suggest that since the weather's getting warmer you might as well forget about your business for the Summer and come back to it in the Fall when traffic picks up again. There are always die-hard computer users, a growing number of us earn their full time living from the Internet and when it gets too hot, even some of the more adventurous types will seek refuge in the cool air conditioning in front of their pc's. Be sure to use this time to refresh and revitalize your online business. While traffic is low and customer interaction becomes less frequent, you will have the perfect opportunity to take a good look at what you're doing, devise a plan for improvement and implement your ideas before business picks up again in September. As a matter of fact, if you start thinking about it early enough, you will have an opportunity to test out your new strategy and make even more improvements in plenty of time to catch the Fall traffic. Summer
Services Sale Why am I telling you this? Because I feel a special fondness for you, dear Member. :) I really want you to succeed and I'd truly like to help in any way I can. But, if you wait until August to try to book my time, you'll probably find that I'm too busy with prior commitments to get your work done by September. Now is the best time to think about what you want to do and get it done! As an extra incentive to schedule any assistance you might need early, I'll take 10% off all business suport services until June 21st, the first day of Summer. This offer is for ONE STOP Paid Members only. If you need help to:
simply send me an email about your project. I can get started on it right away and when it's complete, I'll subtract 10% off your bill.
