Broken Links v Prioritising
Thanks for letting me know about the broken links in my Blog – and my apologies for not having fixed them all yet. It’s been hard NOT to fix them as I wanted that to be a priority! I hate faults and any imperfections that I think I can fix (given time).
However, I’m also doing my best – prioritising hard and keeping myself organised – so I’m actually using this as an example of self control – to prove that I can keep my word and WILL make my News Site and correct Page Building/Adding to my many other sites a higher priority than correcting a few links on this Blog. (Note the Privacy Policy and About the Major pages now in place!)
I apologise again for broken links though, I must have messed them up when I was trying to learn how to best use the Socrates and Flexsqueeze Themes that I attempted to set up here………. but failed…. oops, slipping back into “Old-Speak” …. I should have said ……….but haven’t yet succeeded – haha!!
Just as an update so that you know a little more about what I ‘m doing besides just prioritising!! …….. some would keep it secret until completed but this is meant to be a Hype Free area so it’s only fair to let you in on this……….
I am currently still evaluating several different Site Installation Software Packages but have got so involved with the nitty gritty of two of them in particular, and the Manual Site Builder with which I am comparing them, that I am regularly behind my preset deadlines and run out of time for anything else. I can so far say that I don’t really find JP’s Site Profit Bot a very useful tool for me (I just don’t like the appearance of the Sites or the manner in which I should add content), and also found myself utterly swamped by the vast array of facilities in Chris “The Day Job Killer’s” Affiliate X.
CB Predators is a total “Dog’s Breakfast” and just goes to show that a reasonable product can be ruined by poor planning and abysmal customer support! Talk about prioritising, it’s easy to see what they had at Number One on their list – and it wasn’t customer satisfaction!
Did anyone else notice Chris Fox and co asking their users to write the manual for them???? How crass can you get?
Edwin Boiten’s “geeky” but very promising program “Octopus” as yet remains untested, though I have now succeeded in completing its installation – an achievement I’m very pleased with as it proved quite difficult for a non-techy like me. I must add yet another vote of thanks to Dan Thomson at D9Hosting – Thanks Dan, your support desk is second to none!!!
Chris Sempel’s Affiliate Genie looks very useful, but I’m only part way into that – sharing time on that one with Marty Roz’s Affiliate Pilot Pro system…….. which I’ve found very impressive so far. I like his WordPressDirect anyway so maybe I’m a little biased! (I have to mention that having Keith Baxter as a partner must make a difference there!)
I can’t really comment on the value of Multi Profit Websites as I have not yet completed the first one – I find them a bit dated, and not as easy to adapt to what I currently have in mind as I had expected. I had to leave Aaron Danker’s Rocket Launcher to some one else to evaluate as I just ran out of funds at the time it came out – haha, an old problem eh?!
I couldn’t possibly afford Nathan Anderson’s Niche ATM system either, or some of the other hugely expensive automated programs that have been pouring out this summer, but I am determined to fully test Ben Shaffer’s “No Cost Traffic System” and that is currently receiving high priority in my daily work. A lot to learn, but well worth it I’m sure.
Prioritising even further…
There are other programs that I’m just scooting around because again, they aren’t on my priority list…..
But I will shortly begin to monetize this Blog and then will give my honest views of programs I would support, along with some of the necessary links. …………. another hour passed by, but this time it was with one of my “Golf Balls” (if you’ve read one of my other posts). My 2 year old Grandson Oscar wanted to play “Bubbles” so we’ve had a ball chasing hundreds of them round the lawn……. great fun eh! Luckily I ran out of Bubble Fluid or we’d be there for another hour yet!
Well, maybe this isn’t a complete post, and it jumps around like an interrupted diary insert – but “it’s all mine folks”, and it sure beats crawling along an Afghan ditch waiting to come across an inevitable IED with no way around it and nowhere to shelter…… I feel for those lads, it can’t be easy!
Don’t forget now, be careful out there (you Hillstreet Blues fans)!
Just my roundabout way of prioritising security……
PS – Hot Damn – this is one topic I’ll never complete in its current form! Now I also have to contend with AutoBlog Samurai, Stealth Profit Machines, Word Press Direct Platinum, Affiliate Pilot Pro, Ed Charkow’s Wordpress Monthly, and a whole host of other “Rapid Site Builder” and “Controller” programs.
Never mind, it’s all great fun isn’t it?! Have you tried the new PLR Monthly or John T’s Free Web Site Monthly yet?
It’s all a question of Prioritising – haha

It includes easy-to-understand language and uses photos to illustrate points. You’ll find systems that can easily be tailored to specific situations and implemented with ease. Jimmy shares real-world examples as well as includes a bonus FAQ section.
Cons:
None I could identify.
Personal Opinion:
Homepreneur Habits is THE report that I’ve been looking for ever since I started my own home-based business over 12 years ago. From the beginning, this report takes you through and shows you through words & pictures the “hows” and “whys” of setting up a home office for ease and comfort.
Then Jimmy goes a step beyond and shares how to set up a weekly work routine, day-by-day in such a way that makes it obvious that implementing a schedule is not only a do-able, but a preferable and profitable, way to work.

How To Encourage Customers To Spend More Money – An Upsell
Click here for more information.
Upsell Report:
This Upsell Report shares proven techniques that will help you increase your profits by showing you how to get your existing customers to spend more.
Who This Report is Intended For:
People that write and/or sell products or services and would like to increase their income.
Uses:
This report reveals several ways to offer additional products to your customers to increase your earnings. You’ll learn how simply asking for a sale is sometimes the easiest way to get it. No matter what you sell, you can always sell more and upselling makes it so simple.
Pros:
This report is short and easy to follow. A quick read, it includes step-by-step instructions on when, where and why to use the upsell technique.
You’ll find several ideas to help you understand how upselling works.
The examples, hints and tips found inside will make it easy for you to apply it to your own product or service.
You’ll even discover how NOT to do an upsell. Yes, it can be done wrongly and the techniques will not work if you do it this way.
Cons: None immediately visible. The only reason why you wouldn’t buy this report is if you weren’t interested in selling infoproducts online.
Personal Opinion:
The Upsell Report not only gave me more than enough ideas to get started with plans to include an upsell in my product offerings, it also provided inspiration to start brainstorming my own ideas. I am now confident that I will be able to successfully implement these ideas into my business and become profitable by doing so (and not before time!).
It’s funny how you hear upselling all the time in every day life (think toy stores, fast food restaurants, etc.) but many people don’t apply it to their online business as frequently. The fact that it does work has convinced me to put this into practice in my own online business.
Now, I’m off to set up my very own upsells!
To Get Started:
Simply click here to check out the report. I bought a $297.00 program that taught me the same thing as this one $15 report did. (How embarrassing!)
If you’re selling eBooks online, you can’t afford to miss this Upsell Report.
