What does a chain and Jerry Seinfeld have to do with resuscitating your blog? Well the short story is that Mr. Seinfeld works on his comedy by working on his jokes and he works on his jokes by writing everyday. He uses a motivational technique to ensure that he writes every day, he calls it “Don’t Break the Chain“. He takes a big wall calendar and puts an x on the days he does write. If he doesn’t write one day, he breaks the chain. The idea is too keep the chain going and don’t break it.

You can do the same for your blog. Get a big wall calendar or use this online version of Don’t Break the Chain. There’s even an option to add it to iGoogle/Google Calendar or display it on your blog. It’s fun and a perfect tool for visual people.

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.
