PlugIn Spotlight: Google Analytics

By in Membership Resources, WordPress Plugins | Comments { 2 }

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

By in Audio Lessons, Membership Training | Comments { 10 }

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

By in Articles, Membership Training | Comments { 0 }

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

By in Articles, Membership Training | Comments { 3 }

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.

By in Articles, Membership Training | Comments { 6 }

Getting large amounts of members (or even enough to make a living) really is a numbers game.

Even the worst sales person will make more profit with a larger pool of leads than a master sales person working with a trickling stream.

While increasing your sales skills is important, you can make more money now just by increasing the amount of prospects/leads you deal with.

In our previous article, we went over ways to locate more sales leads. This time around we’re looking into even more ways to increase customer traffic AND what to do once they arrive.
