Start Your Membership Site Today – With My Help
As many of my readers know – I highly recommend the Wishlist Member Plugin for Wordpress to implement a membership site. This is for several reasons – and the reasons just keep on coming, as the Wishlist Products team is continually developing the functionality of the plugin.
When I first reviewed Wishlist Member in March this year, I noted some things that I felt it was lacking… Since then, these have been rectified and I think the product is fabulous. Read more

Overwhelmed by Article Marketing?
I had an interesting discussion with one of my Mastermind Groups this week about Article Marketing and how it works. The discussion was prompted somewhat by my earlier post Article Marketing, Backlinks and Duplicate Content oh My! – and centered around posting articles and what to do to avoid ‘duplicate content penalties’.
In fact, the discussion was “I’m just exhausted by the number of different articles I have to write”. There still appears to be a lot of conjecture and misunderstanding about when and where to use articles, so here are “Charlys 3 Top Tips For Article Marketing”. Read more
What Does Your Profile Say About You?
Loosely following on from my Business Plan discussion last week, is a discussion on what your online profile says about you….
I’m asking this question not as a networking coach, but as someone who was trying to connect with people within her ‘field’. I have over 5000 Linked In contacts – pretty impressive really – and I decided that this week, I wanted to connect with those contacts who would most appreciate my services.
Following my own advice, I started searching my Linked In contacts for people who ‘fit my profile’… I was amazed at the descriptions people targetted themselves with. I think the saddest was ‘Looking for a job’ and the most pitiful ‘over 20K plus connections’. Read more

Business Plans and The Collective Wisdom
This week, I was a guest on my Mastermind friends (Kate Loving Shenk and Joan Adams) Blog Talk Radio Show – Moo, Moon and You, The Collective Wisdom.
When they asked me to be a guest, they initially wanted to talk about Women In Business, specifically Internet Marketing. However, when we started talking, the discussion got to the importance of planning to a business and just how important Business Plans really are.
Kate felt that she had been running her online business with more of a ‘Ready, Fire, Aim’ approach and Joan echoed the sentiment too… so, the whole show got me to thinking…. Read more

Product Review: Interviewing Unwrapped
One of the biggest challenges that we as online business is the ability to create a suitable product that will meet your niches requirements and provide a solution. Many people are terrified by the thought of having to do all that research and then convert it to the written, audio or visual form – I know it terrifies me.
What if you could just have one the ‘gurus’ in your Niche just tell you what works and what doesn’t and how to solve those problems that just seem to never have a solution? Don’t you think that would be great? Read more
7 Deadly SEO Mistakes
Late last year, I took advantage of the Stompernet Stomping The Search Engine 2 (STSE 2) offer at the end of 2008 and received the STSE2 DVD / CD, original Stomping The Search Engines DVD / CD, a monthly subscription to the Net Effect printed Magazine and the DVD of the Month.
I wasn’t certain if I would stay a subscriber to the Magazine & DVD of the Month – but after I received my first one – I was convinced it was one of the best decisions I had made. Read more
Using RSS To Increase Readers and Backlinks
RSS is a great invention and with the evolution of technology most websites now have RSS as a means of delivering content to visitors.
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. However, what it really does is to convert our beautifully formatted webpages to text so that the Search Engine robots (spiders) can index and list our websites.
It is important to know that not all websites have a RSS feed (that’s the terminology we tech types like to use). Typically, static websites – those sites that have the content hard coded into the each page – don’t have RSS enabled. Dynamic sites like Wordpress do and, in general, the ‘feed’ is enabled automatically. Read more

Why Am I Not Indexed By The Search Engines Yet?
There is a group of us who are working on Squidoo and working
through Potpie Girls’ One Week Marketing Plan (which is really quite excellent) and there is a level of frustration around the fact that some lenses are not being indexed (placed into the Search Engine results) within a week or two.
The One Week Marketing Plan shows you exactly how to make money with your Squidoo Lenses and get them indexed so that you start receiving traffic from the wider Internet world – and Potpie Girl lays it out in a really simple and straight forward manner – in fact, I’m going to be adding her strategies to my own process for client sites to ensure maximum benefit.

Article Marketing, Backlinks and Duplicate Content – Oh My!
I was asked an interesting question today about backlinking and article marketing. I am a BIG fan of article marketing for several reasons:
1. Develop credibility in your niche as an expert by providing useful and interesting information.
2. Fantastic way to get your site indexed (found in the search engines) through the use of a site that is already indexed (Article Directory) Read more
Free Content For Your Niche Site
One way to improve the rankings in the Search Engines is to have content on your site – preferably content relating to your niche.
Whilst writing this content yourself (or having someone write it for you) is definitely the best way, you can leverage the work of others on your site.
People are writing content, in the form of articles and blog posts with the specific purpose of having that content published on other sites. Read more
