WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er

One of the best things I like about WordPress is a wealth of documentation available for the platform. With [tag-tec]WordPress[/tag-tec] 2.2 being released 2 weeks ago I have decided to make a plunge and perform in place upgrade of my blogs.

What I have learned in process is that there are a few things missing in Upgrading WordPress documentation. Although following it to the letter has helped me to overcome and possibly remove any chance of serious problems – I still managed to run into some undocumented issues. This post is to share those details.

You’re a blogger and are constantly hearing about pinging. The thing is, you don’t know what it is and what it can do for your [tag-tec]blog[/tag-tec]. Well that’s fine because a lot of bloggers don’t quite understand pinging. In this newsletter, we will explain what pinging is, how it helps your blog, and what the best pinging services are. After you’ve read this newsletter, you’ll know exactly how to use pinging to make your blog popular.

When a blog is pinged, it essentially tells a web blog tracking system that the blog has been updated. Thus, pinging is the process of telling tracking services that a site has been updated.

Making your Memorial Day weekend a bit more interesting I’m adding a podcast interview conducted by Louis Allport with J.F Straw specifically on just one subject: How To Create A Best-Selling Info-Product! Never heard about him?

Since just one of Jim’s (many) products has brought in over $3,000,000 in sales … he really does know what he’s talking about. Here is just a little background on him:

Over the past 30 years, J.F. Straw has written well over 300 books, booklets, manuals, reports, courses and articles about doing business ­ all based on his own personal, hands-on experience. His writings are “specific” methods, techniques and approaches to doing business that anyone can use to start or expand their business.

Then three years ago, Jim decided to start selling some of his products over the web … and even though some affiliate directories still won’t list his site (they consider it too simple-looking) it now brings in around 50% of his annual revenue.

And since his company’s annual revenue is in the millions of dollars … you do the math! Visit his site here:

Pretty loud statement, huh? Obviously this is my personal opinion but I strongly believe I have a right to say that. As a member of [tag-tec]Internet Marketing[/tag-tec] community I’m subscribed to about 30 or more different mailing lists and on daily bases one of my email boxes looks like a parade of headlines. Almost each and every one of them promising me some new guide or tool that supposed to “propel me into riches” within the shortest possible time period.

Granted some of those info products do reveal new ideas or techniques, which will help you if properly implemented and used but is it really worth spending all the money people ask for it? I have purchased several and took action as advised – I made some money in a few case, I learned something in others but I have also discovered that more often then not these products pitch you very same ideas you can learn for free.

After all – what is revelation for one person is simply a daily business for another. While first will try to create a product and sell it to you, second will give it away to help you or to promote something different. And this is how we can take advantage of it.
