Many entrepreneurs ask me how they can create a membership site and how they can sell information on their blogsites. Well now you can. A brand new WordPress plugin makes it all possible.
With the WishList Member plugin you can:
- Protect all or some of your content i.e. pages, categories, parts of posts or pages etc.
- Create as many membership levels as you wish i.e. silver, gold, lifetime, trial etc.
- Create educational modules and give members access to a new module each week. I.E. A new member is given access to module 1 the first week, module 2 the second week, etc. Where older members may already be on module 7.
- Integrate it with 1ShoppingCart or any other shopping cart that allows you to specify a “thank you” page.
- Works with a new or existing WordPress blogsite.
Check it out and see if WishList Member is for you. We can help you integrate it too. Packages coming soon.

You can change the published date for your post to a date in the past or a date in the future.
If you choose to publish your post to a date in the future, your post will not be published or appear on your blog until that day and time. So if you want to write a bunch of blog posts and post-date them then you can take “create blog posts” off your list of things to do for a week or more.
For versions 2.3.3 or earlier:
1) Create your post
2) On the right hand side look for “post time stamp”
3) Change the date and time (optional)
4) Press save/publish
For versions 2.5 or later:
1) Create your post
2) On the right under “publish status”
3) Click edit beside “published on”
4) Change the date and time (optional)
5) Press save/publish

Last week client, Sital Ruparelia, 6 Figure Career Management Coach, sent me this email:
I answered a question on how to increase traffic on blog and just ‘won’ the ‘best answer’. Take a look and see how far the student of the blog coach, is now a teacher himself!
I am already so proud of him for consistently blogging and getting his blogsites to the top of Google’s lists asap! But the article he wrote put smile on my face that made my cheeks hurt! 
Here it is for you to read and enjoy:
Question: How are you taking advantage of your blog?
I’m a fairly new blogger so by no means an expert – but here are some things I do to promote my blog
I use the word ‘promote’ loosely as the emphasis is on offering value and building relationships rather than ‘promoting’ as such.
1. Write interesting, relevant content that is of value (the obvious one).
2. Adding comments of value on other blogs read by my target audience.
3. Answering questions on LinkedIn and other sites similar sites.
4. Writing guest articles and blog posts for other sites and publications.
5. Guest speaking.
6. Post articles with links to relevant articles on other blogs (Google likes this and rewards you with more traffic).
7. Use Word Press as a playtform (Again very google friendly – my content is on Google as soon as I publish a blog post).
8. Review stats to see where traffic comes from, key words used etc.
9. Use some of these key words on future blog posts.
10. Use numbers on titles of articles “10 Tips, 5 steps, 3 ways” etc to encourage people to read.

Last week I was interviewed by friend and client Duncan Brodie. Duncan is putting together a ton of resources for his Goals and Achievements Giveaway.
The focus of the interview was blogsites of course. Duncan asked me a number of questions from what is a blogsite, what are the first few steps to get started with a blogsite, what are some of the common mistakes people make when creating their blogsites and what are the benefits of a blogsite over a traditional site. This interview was recorded and is part of the big giveaway, so if you’d like to hear it be sure to sign up at www.goalsandachievementsgiveaway.co.uk
After the interview, Duncan and I spent some time socializing. We had a great conversation about business building and how most coaches build their business without thinking about their lifestyle. I think many of us, myself included, are guilty of this. We build our businesses and then shove our family, friends and well being into the time and energy that’s left over. Soon enough we either resent our clients, friends or family or they begin to resent us! We may want to consider re-evaluating our businesses annually or semi-annually to ensure that our lifestyle and lifestyle changes still fit our business models.
I believe this is just one of the reasons why Duncan is putting together the “Goals and Achivements Giveaway“. These resources will help you build your business, develop your management skills and your leadership skills. Be sure to visit his blogsite and sign up for the giveaway.

Super star marketer and author Seth Godin wants you to be on the cover of his new book. The book won’t be available until October and your picture may or may not be completely visible but how cool would it be to say “I’m on the cover of the new Seth Godin book”. People will think you are a celebrity!
Seth is very creative. I know I had a hard time trying to figure out what cover I should use for my book “Does this blogsite make my wallet look fat?“. So *high five* Seth for making the work easier on yourself!

This is a question I get all the time. Here’s just part of the long answer.
A website (a traditional site created with html) becomes a pain to maintain. You either need to know html, have expensive software to update it or have your web person update it when they have time.
A blogsite is easy to maintain and you can update from any computer in the world (yes macs and PCs) with internet access.
Google and other search engines are giving priorities to blogs over regular sites for many reasons. Two main reasons are that blogs are updated with fresh content more frequently than regular sites and blogs are structured in a way that makes it easier for Google to find, index and add them to their list of results.
With blogsites you can:
* create static pages such as “our services”, “our products”, “contact us” etc.
* maintain your own website
* blog by posting articles, tips, promotions, etc.
* interact with web visitors and start building a relationship with them
* promote your newsletter, services, affiliate programs
* get Google to fall in love with you and your site as it’s built with search engine optimization in mind
* take advantage of web 2.0 functionality
* add media to your site easily
All this and more is available in our book “Does This Blogsite Make My Wallet Look Fat? How to use a WordPress Blogsite to make money, attract clients and gain expert celebrity status”. To order your copy visit www.WordPressBlogsites.com

I previewed my book at the ADHD Coaches Organization conference this past weekend. Within the first 30 minutes of the bookstore opening up 5 of my books were sold. I witnessed 2 of them being sold and I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was better than I ever could have dreamed of.
I presented Sunday Morning. My presentation ended at 10:30am and the book store closed at 11am. When my presentation ended there was a rush to the bookstore to buy my book. There was one copy left and the bookstore operator picked it up and said “Alright let’s start bidding on it.”
Two participants ran back to me and said “Sandra the bookstore sold out of your book. Do you have any left?” I had one left that I was going to give away at the end of my presentation but ran out of time. So the two of them fought over it!
I am pleased with the results so far to say the least.
To top off the excitement I was asked to autograph my book a number of times. This is really exciting because 1) I’m a “book celeb” 2) I felt honoured that they asked and 3) when Andrea Lee was coaching me around starting the book she asked me to visualize signing my book at conferences. So the visualization came true and it worked!
We are putting the final touches on the sales page of the book and getting it ready for sales! To be the first to get your hands on the book send a blank email to bookvip[at]aweber.com

Thursday afternoon I arrived in St. Louis for the ACO conference. I was excited. This conference was the strict deadline I needed to get my book completed. I needed to give the publisher a week to print the book and send it to me. Well, the book files were sent to the publisher one week ahead of time but at 4:59pm on the friday! Was it going to make it to St. Louis in time for the conference?
When I arrived, I asked the hotel staff if they had a package for me but nothing had arrived. Friday morning I called front desk and asked “Do you have a package for me?”, “no ma’am”. Then at 12:07 pm the phone rang “ma’am your package has arrived”! I ran down to grab the box of books and get my hands on the final product. I ran back upto my room opened the box and was delighted! The book looks amazing and I was thrilled with the final product. I was so happy I started to take pictures of the book as if it was a contestant on “America’s Next Top Book Cover Model”. Here’s a pic of the book and I.
