This One Is For You Sherry Ann Oakes
March 23rd, 2009 | 
Author: Good old Monday rolling back again. For those of you that go out to work this seems to be the hardest day of the week, but for me it is one of the best because I get a break from running round after my three boys over the weekend, especially this one as my husband was away 
So, Sherry Ann Oakes filled out the ‘I Want To Learn About’ box, a few days ago, when she signed up at IMMembership.com, with “anything you could possibly teach me would be so appreciated.!”
I was quite touched by this as only about 10% of people that sign up actually fill anything into this box and it is normally short like “how to build a link”, which I have already answered and elaborated on this week. Sherry Ann is obviously keen to learn and get started and almost certainly an action taker. Am I right Sherry Ann?
I have taken my time in deciding what I should teach Sherry Ann & I have decided to do a 30 day training to get a brand new site up and running including how to get traffic and sales. I know this has been done many times, but never for free and not in the way I am going to approach it.
The main problem that most people face when they get started online is that there is sooooo much information and sooooo much hype and tooooo many products that they are completely overwhelmed. No one seems to start something and see it through to the end. They are always leaving it half done and then moving onto the next big thing (launch). I just heard about a $197 offer that is completely ridiculous, because so much is included on so many different topics it is not going to help anyone. Even if someone actually took the time to read it all, they would be so overwhelmed they would not be able to do anything with any of it.
I know how it is and what you are going through because that was me last year. I had about 200 domains, none were finished completely and some did not even have anything on them apart from the godaddy parked page. I had accumulated about 350 gigabytes of articles, software and products that I gave up sorting them out because it was just taking up too much time. Finally in September 2008 (when the kids went back to school after their 2 month holiday) I sored myself out. I sold all my domains, bar 5 or so, got rid of all my hosting accounts, bar 1, and spent two weeks just sorting the ’stuff’ I had accumulated into some sort of order so that I could see what I had. In October I really got going. I created a system from the knowledge I had gained in my time online and built 2 websites at a time. One website I built following the system and the other I changed the system slightly. After two weeks I looked at my results and went with the system that was working the best. I then built 2 more sites and so on and so on, until now I have about 30 sites all making money. I also took one day a week ‘off work’ to learn something new. Personally I need brain food, but it is good to keep up with the news and what is going on in the world.
Some make more than others and I don’t want to go into how much I am earning, because it changes from month to month and I want you to know that you do have to work. If you are looking for a hands off solution to $100,000 a month then by all means buy the product selling it and follow it to the letter. When it doesn’t work how you thought it would you can come back and do my training
The training I am offering is for anyone that is willing to commit to themselves (you don’t need to commit to anyone else but you as you are doing this for you) that they will stick to it and see it through to the end. You have nothing to loose as it is not costing you anything.
I am going to get started probably Monday next week as I have some other posts already in mind for this week. Before I get going with it though, I will give you some guidelines so you can get ready …
- ALL the tools I will use for the training are FREE (I will assume that you have none to be sure everyone is on the same page)
- DO NOT Buy Any More Stuff - whatever it is you do not need it for this training (if you still want it once you have finished, please go ahead, it is your money)
- YOU MUST HAVE one domain name already registered with hosting set up ready for Day 1 (I will post some videos on how to do this before I start the training and it can be done in one day)
- This is my system. Exactly what I do myself when starting up a new site, just in 30 days rather than two weeks. We all have our own pace, so you can go quicker or slower, although I don’t recommend you do more than two days training per day.
I hope this is the kind of thing you were after Sherry Ann

Flipping Wordpress Blogs
Firstly I want to apologise for my not being around over the last month. After finally getting my kidney stone blasted I was in a lot of pain with an infection that kept me away from the computer. I am back on track now after wading through the mountain of 3000 odd e-mails that were waiting for me on my return
I wanted to bring up the subject of flipping wordpress blogs today, as opposed to flipping html or php websites. From the many e-mails I get from you guys and gals there seems to be some confusion on how this would work and why they are worth more. AND they are worth more.
There are a few more technicalities in flipping wordpress blogs than an html or php website, but they are minor. I have broken the process down into small chunks below. If something doesn’t make sense ‘Google It’ as it is ouside the scope of this post. Obviously if the buyer is keeping the current hosting that you provide this is all irrelevant as it would be with another type of website, no moving involved.
FLIPPING A WORDPRESS BLOG PROCESS
1) Back up the database for the wordpress blog. This is the most important step. If you miss this and something goes wrong the blog is gone forever.
2) Back up (download using a ftp program) ALL FILES and FOLDERS for the wordpress blog. This is the easiest way to ensure that nothing is missed.
3) Make a note of any specific settings needed just incase they don’t get transferred.
4) Change the nameservers, upload ALL the files to the new server, create a database and import the backup from step 1, change the wp-config.php to reflect any changes in the database details should you need to.
5) Check everything is working ok, but you should be good to go.
NOTE: You can install wordpress through fantastico although it is not advised and harder to make certain changes.
The benefits of flipping wordpress blogs over other websites are that they can be updated more often, can include more info, are easier for you to create, are liked more by the search engines. There are also lots of things that can be done with simply with a wordpress blog that would need a lot more work and coding with an html or php website, like a membership site, affiliate/affiliate site or store site.
As you can see the possibilities are endless. So get going flipping those wordpress blogs
I have a new theme coming for you in a few weeks as well as some inside info on some great new plugins to help explode your traffic. I am going on holiday next week, but should have internet access over there to keep up to date. I tell you a few weeks out and you almost have to go back to square one. The one thing I learnt from this though is that you should only stay subscribed to people’s lists if they actually offer you something of value …

Viral Marketing Examples (Tips & Tricks Too) - Part 2
Continuing on from part one of this post (you can read part 1 of Viral Marketing Examples (Tips & Tricks Too) here - it will open in a new window for your convenience) I wanted to show you a marketer who has created a piece of software that will allow your wordpress blog posts to go viral as well as providing you with an ‘all too precious’ one way link, using trackbacks.
I don’t know about you, but I love reading blogs, especially ones related to wordpress. My problem is I come across something interesting and don’t just read the articles, but all the comments and trackbacks too. I find it very interesting to see who is also reading the posts and what they are writing about on their own blogs. To the people who left the comment or trackback I am a visitor that has come from something they found interesting or wrote about, so am much more likely to stay a while on their site or blog than someone who found them by accident.
Jack Humphrey, you may know his name from ‘Content Desk’ or the ‘Black Book’, is about to release a piece of software, which I think is desktop based from the video on his blog post about it (click here to read it - it will open in a new window for your convenience) which will find for you blogs with similar posts to yours that allow trackbacks. You know how I love time savers. The software will also allow you to edit your posts from it in order to add the links, again saving you time.
This is not a ‘normal’ viral marketing example, but most blog readers are like me, especially in niche markets as they are there to read more about the thinkgs they like and enjoy. Imagine having even three trackbacks on three different blogs in your niche, coming back to your website. If it is a high pr blog you may even move up the SERP’s, but most importantly if it is a high traffic blog you may benefit from their traffic. More traffic = more sales. So anything that can bring you more traffic is a form of viral marketing.
If you would like to post a trackback to someone’s blog, but cannot find the trackback link you should just try to add /trackback/ to the end of the url, so in the case of this post the trackback url would be http://www.onthenetdollars.com/general/viral-marketing-examples-part-2/trackback/. This will only work if the wordpress blog owner has allowed trackbacks. If you would like to allow trackbacks on your blog you can read my post on it … Trackbacks & Time Wasted, where you will also find how to add make the trackback url show up on your blog if it is not included in your template already.
Please let me know what you think by leaving your comments for me
