Great Word Press Plug-in: Text Editor
Posted on | February 6, 2010 | No Comments
Have you ever felt a tad frustrated with the default WordPress text editor?
Well, here's a great plug in: Dean's FCKEditor for WordPress Plugin.
This is a great plugin that replaces the standard WordPress text editor.
I think it is a "must" for Internet marketers because it gives you a lot more control in editing text.
Some of these features include easily adding highlighting to text, more font size options, easy line breaks, tables, etc.
The plugin works much like any Word processing software, and I recommend it as a must for any marketer building sales pages or sales letters with WordPress.
(If you need to know: it'sis an open source WYSIWYG text editor ,brings to the web much of the power of desktop editors like MS Word.it’s lightweight and is compatible with most internet browsers which include: IE 5.5+ (Windows), Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+ and Netscape 7+.)
How to get it?
Go HERE , unzip and upload the files into your wp-content/plugins/ directory, then activate the plugin on your Admin Panel->Plugin Management page.After that you're done – enjoy it.

Making Sense of the Hard Work That Goes Into Internet Marketing
Posted on | January 28, 2010 | No Comments
A year ago we were all mesmerised by the achivements of Chesley Schullenberger who saved 150 lives when he landed his jet in the Hudson River.
His typically modest statement?
“For 42 years,” he said, “I’ve been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience, education and training. On January 15 the balance was sufficient to make a very large withdrawal.”
There are times when things go wrong – projects fail, products crash, systems burn, cash runs out – cash doesn’t even appear!
But the point, it seems to me is this: every apparent set-back is a “small, regular,deposit” in life’s bank. And the time will come when you’re able to make that large withdrawal in the form of paychecks that accrue from when it all comes right.

What I hate About A LOT of eBooks…….
Posted on | January 24, 2010 | No Comments
Hi everyone – Quick thoughts about my top gripes when it comes to info products – do people have any additions?
For instance,
I don’t like reading material that is rehashed garbage from years past.
I don’t like reading information products filled with useless platitudes. So many info products seem to be 90% useless platitudes and 10% useable information. (NOT from fellow Forum members, of course!)
I don’t like reading useless or repetitive filler – content stuck in just to bulk up the product.
I don’t like reading eBooks that have 24 point font and header and footer graphics that take up 1/3rd of the page.
I don’t like reading eBooks that are not updated. As we all know, the web changes almost daily. This really flummoxes beginners, as they are left to guess what your outdated screenshot means. Out of date guides to WordPress are a prime example.
I don’t like reading plain, bad writing with lousy grammar and worse spelling…
What else is there? Let me know!

IS 99.99% GOOD ENOUGH?
Posted on | January 21, 2010 | No Comments
I think this is somehow connected to Internet markting…. along the lines of delighting the customer, and making sure that every part of one’s website / offering / product / service is “gleaming”.
For example, if certain industries were only 99.99% good enough, consider the following:
*One hour of unsafe drinking water per month
*One aeroplane a week lands unsafely at an Australian airport.
*540 pieces of mail would be lost per hour.
*1,300 cheques would be deducted from the wrong accounts each hour.
*12 parts are missing from every new Holden. (Australia’s own car, supposedly)
NOW TAKE NOTE OF THIS LAST ONE.
*Your heart fails to beat 32,000 times each year.
Makes you think, doesn’t it???

Free eCover Action Scripts
Posted on | January 19, 2010 | No Comments
A friend of mind is offering 3 eCover action scripts that you can download – they are slightly different from the run-of-the-mill eBook covers you find, and you might like to check them out.
I don’t know how long he will have this offer up for.
It’s a minimalist landing page, normal signup and aweber verification. You’re taken to an upsell but the ecovers are emailed directly to you, so you don;t have to scroll and scroll to get to what you want.

Benefits of Social Bookmarking
Posted on | January 18, 2010 | No Comments
Quick Monday morning thoughts about social bookmarking, which I am still getting my head around (don’t even ask me about Twitter!)
Here they are:
1)More Targeted Traffic: Since your bookmarks are categorized into different TAGS, you will get very targeted traffic from people searching within a particular TAG. They will click on your bookmark link and visit your site. Your tags will rank well in the search engines due to the authority these sites have.
2) Faster Search Engine Indexing: Most of these Social Bookmarking sites are authoritative sites. The search engine spiders visit these sites so often that your links will be crawled almost immediately!
3) Higher Search Engine Ranking: Getting one-way incoming links is the main factor to higher search engine ranking. With Social Bookmarking, you can get unlimited ‘keyword’ links to your site. Having more keyword links that are relevant to your site will result in higher ranking.
4) Better PageRank: Having high PR Social Bookmarking sites linked to your site will improve your site’s PR. With a higher PR, you can link to your new/existing sites and improve their ranking too! You can even monetize on it by selling links from your site!

New Year’s Rant
Posted on | January 17, 2010 | No Comments
Not a positive start to 2010 – bought a new printer (Canon MP 270, I think) the usual impenetrable installation manual and a wholly unhelpful installation disc.
Basically, the message was that the printer is not supported by Snow Leopard…. Cue red mist.
Of course, it turned out that there was not an issue at all, but not before I had had to consider returning said printer to Amazon (more red mist), ferreting around the Canon site (singularly unhelpful) and finally getting lucid ecouragement and positive information from a Mac user group posting.
Oh – Happy New Year, everyone!
My best to you…..
The Point Of it All
Posted on | July 4, 2009 | No Comments
So – it’s Saturday morning. The 4th of July. And, although I’m not American (I did work in the US for three years though) I’m celebrating my own little Independence Day.
And if you’re into online marketing – in any form – or aspiring to it, you should celebrate your independence too!
Independence of thought and imagination, independence of limits, and – you’ll get there – financial independence too.
I’m sitting here, in the early morning, brewed coffee, lovely Somerset countryside, birdsong – the feel-good is terrific.
So – my point is this – stick with it. Aim for Independence. Enjoy it. Share it. Live it.
My best to you.
