This is the most common question I hear lately from my virtual assistant clients. Should we continue to send their weekly or bi-monthly newsletter/ezine to their subscriber list. While I am not sure if I recommend you stop communicating with your clients, I agree that slimming down on the content of the ezine is a good idea.
A newer trend is to put tidbits or “teasers” of the article in your newsletter – and then redirect them to your blog to continue reading. This way you still are emailing them – hence staying in front of them and you are increasing traffic to your blog.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? I’d love to hear them!

I have now had about a month to play around with a new wishlist membership site. Being someone who has supported clients who use aMember, I am finding myself asking clients to make the switch and try the wishlist wordpress plugin. I so far think it is much more user friendly and easier to use.
I have not yet had the chance to move over an existing aMember site to wishlist…I will be doing that within the next two weeks. I’ll keep you posted on how that move goes and if it is as easy as it seems to be!

Aweber announced yesterday that you have the option to have more CONTROL over the days/times your autoresponders are delivered. How cool is that? It used to be that you were at the mercy of when you lead signed up as to when they would receive your follow up autoresponders.
Now…you can select the days and times that autoresponders go out – therefore avoiding days such as Saturday or Friday night. I love that!!!
Keep it up aWeber…

In the Internet marketing world, one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish is effectively managing your time with your day to day tasks. By using a bit of creativity however, you can use an autoresponder to your advantage and drastically reduce your work load.
There are several ways that you can use an autoresponder to your advantage, resulting in big money and more time for your business so you tend to other things or simply sit back and spend more time with your family.
Here are a few other ways you can make your autoresponders work for you 🙂
- If you lack the room on your site to add your testimonials to your ad copy, you can add them to your autoresponder. If you choose to add them to your responder you should always be sure to include all of them. It will look more professional, and let others know more about your products.
- You can also choose to use your entire website in autoresponder format. Although this may sound silly to some, it’s actually an innovative idea that really works. Not all visitors will have the time to read your website; often times having to leave before they can really read what you have to offer. If you put your website in autoresponder format, you can email bits and pieces from your site to potential customers so they can continue to read when they have time.
- Another innovative way to use your autoresponder is by including your terms and conditions. Often times, potential customers and clients simply don’t have enough time to read through your terms and conditions. The terms and conditions are very important, which is why it never hurts to include them with an email. Your terms and conditions that you email could include the exact copy from your website, or detailed information about your return policies, purchases, refunds, and anything else you think a potential customer would like to know.
There are many other ways that you can use your autoresponder. All you need to do is put a little bit of creativity and thought into it, and you’ll probably find yourself amazed with all the things you can do with autoresponders. They are very popular with Internet marketing and online businesses these days, and for good reason. If you’ve grown tired of having to manage every aspect of your online business – now is the time to invest in an autoresponder. They are user friendly and very affordable – making them something that no business should ever be without.

I have tried several project management systems within the last few years. I had heard of Wrike.com about a year ago, but it wasn’t the right time to swtich 🙂
But now is! I love this cool email feature it has. You can email wrike with your email (including attachments) and it will create a task for you. I love that! Many of my tasks come in from emails from my clients and now – I can simply forward them to wrike and it will add it. LOVE that!
Anyone else using Wrike.com?

I had a chance yesterday and today to really play with the Wishlist Plugin for WordPress. This nifty plugin works with wordpress blogs to manage and allow you to use wordpress as your membership platform.
Now, I have been doing this for several clients using aMember with a blog, but I have to tell you – Wishlist is AMAZING! I love it. The setup proceed does take a few hours – but actually much faster than aMember.
Here are a few features I really liked:
- IP Address limit: How cool, you can limit the unique number of IP addresses that attempt to login with the same user login. This prevents those from passing around their login details.
- There is a login widgit you can use on the homepage of your blog. Very cool.
- Integrates with 1shopping Cart – wohoooo! Anyone wanna try it? Contact me…:)
- Also will allow you to integrate with aWeber.
- A feature inside the blog post that allows you to say whether it is a protected post or not.
- Much more!
Are you using Wishlist? I’d love to know your thoughts!
