WP Social Networking Plugins
Posted by: | Comments
Hello Everyone,
I’ve been working an hour or so every day on an ebook featuring three WordPress social networking plugins: Sociable, About Me 3000, and Share This. It’s up to nine pages now. I’m calling it “The Easy, The Hard, and The Impossible”. So far, the ebook contains support information and how the plugin displays on the page. As I dig into the functionality of these WP plugins, I’m sure there will be more.
What I’ve found so far has helped me, if no one else. I now have an “About Me” widget in my sidebar. I couldn’t get it to work before. The more time I spend with WordPress, the more I understand how things come together on my websites.
Sociable displayed a list of my social networking links at the bottom of my blog posts and worked great. Then, I saw Chris Brogan’s blog. He uses Share This, so I started using that plugin. Once the site visitor clicks the icon, she can choose from a multitude of social networking sites. If she wanted to tweet my post, she would login to her Twitter account. But, if she signs up for a Share This account, her information is saved and she wouldn’t need to type it in every time. It’s an extra step the first time, but saves one every time thereafter. Sounds like a win-win situation for the time impaired. 
Bye for now, I’ll talk with you again soon.
Business Wishlist for 2010
Posted by: | Comments
Chris Brogan posted a blog with his business wishlist for 2010 and challenged his readers to do the same. Please click here to read his list. Definitely not a waste of time and definitely will get your creative juices flowing.
I am enrolled in Brian Clark’s Lateral Action program and Sonia Simone’s Remarkable Marketing Blueprint membership class, so I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about this. Sonia gave us a list of questions and had us make a minimum of 100 cards with one idea each on them. Wow!
Okay, here goes, my business wishlist for 2010:
1. To establish my blog as an authority on WordPress plugins for beginning and intermediate users.
2. Expand my freebies and products to include teaching sets of ebooks and video/audio files.
3. Write 10 more plugin guides.
4. Produce 5 free plugin products.
5. Establish membership sites for best practices in the usage of plugins.
6. Continue learning new software such as Camtasia and Adobe InDepth.
7. Enable as many people as possible to successfully maneuver the world of WordPress to launch and succeed in business.
8. Have a six figure business by the end of 2010 while maintaining and exceeding the level of personal happiness, freedom, and health I now enjoy.
I know it needs some tweaking, but it’s a start!
