Drupal - OPEN SOURCE

Welcome Back Fellow Online Entrepreneurs!

"Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique." 


SOLUTION:

My blogger blog is rather drab...but I found an Amazing template at Word Press...made for handheld devices....which I will share once I reconfirm the name:

• For now..., my blogging style is kept very simple
• I am growing my audience as the primary aim
• I am getting to know everyone
• I am building loyalty...
• So as I do...

You can emulate some of my Word Press designs, if you choose.


Quick Style Is What I Use At Blogger:

• I use a university-style format of writing...because I am constantly reading high end textbooks
• ...and it is ...I hope...better to read than most 
• BUT..., people are telling me "go lighter".

THE TEXT here... IS HEAVY ON MY BLOGGER ACCOUNT (ADMITTEDLY)..and they don't give you much room inside of posts...or between posts.  It is one obvious limitation.

There are separating pages one can use inside of Blogger.

HOWEVER..,

Visual print has to be easy to read.

• Ad copy reads at an 8th grade level
• Verbage in Internet marketing is far more extensive...but going visual with videos is the way to go
• Icons are the appearing more and more!

• Organization is everything.
• BLOGGER -- is by far the least expensive (FREE) and easy to use

• Drupal is a nightmare

• Word Press - is -- once you have a favorite Word press template you select, you can emulate a favorite Word Press online, but you will have challenges still getting your right format in place

• Blogger has limitations
• It is not easy to use for handheld device fans
• I'm rectifying that challenge by pulling in Word Press..but even then these low cost formats aren't so hot. 

HERE'S WHY

• I have MUCH BETTER software for website designs

•  It's made for Internet marketers...and it's elegant

• I am still working through that software (so as to report how workable it is...but many who work with it all the time swear by it.)  I won't mention the name just yet.  I will give you an affiliate link within the next few days, however so please stay tuned!  This particular software will make website design and publishing great for you, if you are a strong writer. 

You start with blank pages (CSS), write your ad copy, and then publish right over to your domain through FTP  You own all files.  Site map submission isn't a big deal.  You can build your free reports, add pay buttons, and more!

Regarding Drupal --

• The security updates take forever to comb through and apply
• Because it is open source, it's not very user-friendly
• However, if you are having success with it and you like it, stick with it -- it is a personal choice
• It does many things...working mainly as a large interactive adjunct to a major content website
• It has several advantages and I could tell you specifically what Drupal can do, but I found it to be very troublesome and technologically frustrating.

I hope this helps.  Stay tuned!  I'm getting more Q's than I can efficiently answer so an interactive place is where most of us will be headed, if you like what I am sharing here.  You do want your own FORUM.  It is essential.  The person working with Drupal is attempting to service that need.

A Fan's Free Meal

Welcome Back Fellow Online Entrepreneurs!

One fan received a free meal when he or she showed this blog to another friend.

FIRSTLY:

• Congratulations regarding the FREE meal !
• Isn't it great when something wonderful for others happens?
• That's what Internet marketing...and well...about making wonderful friends online...helping one another progress 
• You want to be lucky for others
• And they will be lucky for you
• And somewhere in-between, you'll find business working much, much better.

SECONDLY:

I just published Life Cell...a major campaign, located in a prior post.  Check it out!

Please continue watching...but remember that there are no turnkey systems out there.  You are piecing together what you can...but ultimately, you are writing your content (ad copy), you are using your own banners...but you are connecting to others through use of the written word.  You are building your following, you are filtering through your following, you are putting them on a list, and then you are marketing products/services to that list using several varied marketing approaches.  There is no set ad copy on the communications side of it so you want to watch many Internet campaigns.  I opt into a variety of favorite marketer's newsletters but then watch them very carefully.  You will see the marketing at work.

Stay tuned.  I'm connecting the communication device to this blog -- S.O.P. for online marketers.

Toasting Your Success, Absolutely!

Lifecell - Major Campaign

Welcome Back Fellow Online Entrepreneurs!

I'm going to show you how M.D.'s are earning more than they thought possible leveraging the power of the Internet.

This is a major campaign and company located in Florida.


REALIZING:

• Some of you are looking for quick fixes BUT this isn't a way towards permanent solution...UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT JENNIFER LEDBETTER'S ONE WEEK MARKETING PLAN.  SHE DOES DELIVER.
• I am not offering get rich quick schemes
• I am applying filters -- can you guess which ones they are?  HINT:  They drive you nuts and make you frustrated...on purpose.  Why?  Testing your resolve.
• Internet marketing and offline business requires major resolve and steady persistence
• A millionaire lifestyle is NOT what you'd think -- major work is involved.

BUT TAKE A LOOK:

Life Cell Creme

• All Copyrights Are Protected By U.S. Digital Laws
• This is for educational marketing purposes
• What you see on most successful websites securing steady business is that there is easy-to-find advertising, a place where consumers can interact readily (ads placed next to email for a major approach), and there's immediate chat.

Who's the target audience?  What are they selling?  How easy is site navigation?  All of these factors are highly relevant to a successful campaign.  I've tested this campaign, bought the product, and talked to people in the call center.  It is a real product.  It is also fabulous and works well.  Their customer service is unparalleled.

• SOME OF THE MOST PROFITABLE, MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGNS ARE CALL CENTERS CONNECTED TO INTERNET PRODUCTS
• CALL CENTERS ON ORIGINAL PRODUCTS CAN GENERATE AS MUCH AS $60,000/MONTH....and more
• The big players play big...but they can lose it all in a month's time
• MLM's are call centers....when you look at them properly.

Stopping here.  Feel free to post your comments/suggestions.  I am adding some of you to my email correspondence, but as only you deem necessarily.  For fellow Internet marketers, I will not release any of your information to anyone....and I have finally found my free report content!

Toasting Everyone's Success, Absolutely,

What Super-Affiliates Don't Share

Welcome Back Fellow Online Entrepreneurs!

What super-affiliates don't share are the software programs they use. That's the only difference between them and you.  Hopefully, they have more time under their belts...but they think large scale.  You are after ideas you can leverage and scale up much larger over time.  That's the key to retaining greater profits.  Product creation is part of that deal...but you will have other considerations to keep in mind. 


KNOW WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE BEFORE YOU CHOOSE:

Options in marketing help you plan your short, intermediate, and a long-term financial reality for the better. 
The more you know about options, the better prepared you are to make the decision, commit, and then act accordingly.  The finest marketers will always tell you, "Find one method you can implement, no matter how simple.  Start small -- make the sale.  Then repeat.  Once you hit that target repeatedly, then scale it up accordingly.

AFFILIATES WHO ARE LEARNING CAN

• MARKET SMALL AT FIRST
• SCALE UP
• GROW WITH DEMAND AS PROFITS BETTER SUPPORT DEDICATED HOSTING
• EARN 6 FIGURES/YEAR
• SUPER-AFFILIATES DO BETTER (when honest)
• There is 30% affiliate fraud online (not segmented by affiliates/super-affiliates).

Stay tuned.  Most of you are wonderfully present!  Some of you require more information, if you're serious about starting a business.  I am merely saying "what is"...nicely, of course.
