PlugIn Spotlight: Google Analytics

I have seen so many tickets that ask for information about Google Analytics that I decided to look up a WordPress plugin for just this type of request.

Really, who wouldn’t like a plugin to get the benefits of a good tracking and notification regarding their members?

That being said, Google is not just good – it is great. Anyone who has a website or membership site will surely want to take every effort in making sure they can track what members like (and don’t like) as well as the main areas they visit (and don’t visit) regularly.

This type of info can translate into money gained or money lost.

AUDIO: Interview With Stu McLaren

Recently I was interviewed by Mike Litman about my success/growth as a startup entrepreneur.

I think you’ll really dig this interview because not only does Mike’s energy draw you in but he pulled out stories that I haven’t shared in a long time – including my “first sale” (and I attribute everything I’ve accomplished to this and the “twist” actually gets me a little choked up everytime I share it).

There are lots of good nuggets and the tips I share about building a successful business definitely apply to membership sites.

You can download the whole 40 minute interview or listen to it below…

Keep Control of Your Membership Site – Part 1

History is full of people who’ve lost their intellectual property or their business.

This can happen for various reasons like lack of foresight or nefarious business partners.

While you may be lucky enough to have no ambiguous contracts or bad partners, you could still lose your membership site (and therefore your livelihood) if you aren’t careful.

The real tragedy is that with just a bit of planning, the previously mentioned people would be enjoying the fruits of their labors instead of seeing their creations held hostage.

So how can you protect yourself and keep your membership site safe and sound?

The Conversion 5 Factor

Sometimes we assume that the most time consuming aspect of starting a new online business is the creation of the actual website. As many WishList Members users know, this doesn’t need to be the case.

But even if you are able to quickly create an awesome membership site, there are other extremely important factors to remember once you put up the “OPEN” sign…

How are you going to attract (and keep) new members?

Dealing With “Never Happy” Customers

The bigger your site grows, the more you’ll likely face them.

“Never Happy” customers complain, whine, start fights with other members and make life miserable for you and everyone else.

But besides all the negative things listed above, the worst part of it all is the effect it can have on you.

Here’s how I deal with it…
