The Must-Have Plugins I use on my WP Blogs

Edit 12/03/2008: I have modified this list to reflect plugins that I’ve either added to my personal collection, no longer like, or are no longer available. One of the greatest aspects of using WordPress blogs is that there are hundreds (thousands?) of plugins that make customizing your blogs very easy. Here is a list of the plugins I use....

How to Setup a WordPress Blog

Edit: 12/03/2008 -- I realized that I had left out a few steps, so I have added those to the instructions below. Now that you’ve installed you new WordPress (aka WP) blog you need to get it ready to use. The steps you take next are likely to be identical for every blog you set up. You might find it helpful to create your own list of steps...

How to Add a WordPress Blog to Your Site

  There are two ways to setup a new WordPress (aka WP) blog: manually and automatically through cPanel. I will explain how to install WordPress using both methods, as there may be times when you want to do either. ...

Advantages of Combining BANS and Blogging

For several weeks I’ve been saying how I’m going to write about how to add blogging to niche stores.  Well, consider this my first official post about it.  Before I go into how to add blogging to your sites I thought it would be a good idea to start off with why it’s a good idea. Note: I use WordPress for my blogging so any...

I’m in a Rut

For a while now I’ve felt like I’m in a rut.  I’m fortunate to be able to say that I’ve earned commissions every single day since eBay switched to EPN, but I’m not running with the big boys (yet).  Currently I’m earning between $200 and $400 each month.  That’s good, and I’m not complaining about...

eBay, Amazon, YouTube Mashup Niche Store Script

Recently I received an email from JT Pratt telling me he created a free niche store script.  I’ve looked at it (though I haven’t tried it yet, just too darn busy) and it looks really interesting.  If you’d like to check it out then go to http://www.jtpratt.com/free-niche-site-script/ and give it a try.  It could be a good way...

Response to Jim’s Email

This is an unusual post because it is directed at one person, but I don’t know how else to get my response to this person. To Jim: On July 10th you sent me an email asking for help getting started with BANS.  I’ve responded several times to your email but each time my response is returned to me.  I’ve even tried using different...

Website Promotion Toolbar

Site promotion is something I’ve known I need to do but wasn’t sure how to go about it.  Michelle MacPhearson has helped tremendously with this but I have found that there is a lot that can be done to promote a site.  It got a little confusing for me so I created a toolbar to help me out. It may help you, too.  You can use it for...

eBook – How to Improve Your Best Performing Niche Store (take two)

Well, writing an eBook has had a bigger learning curve than I expected!  I apologize for my gaff on the previous version of this eBook.  I’ve replaced the .exe version with a .pdf version.  What I ended up doing was creating a PDF using Microsoft Word 2007.  Turned out to be really simple to do.  But, I don’t know how it will...

A Failed Attempt and a Plea for Help

It seems that my attempt at creating an eBook failed grandly, but I’m not giving up.  Making eBooks is totally new territory for me and I thought the software I used was the answer but, aside from some users not being able to open it (such Mac users), I can’t figure out why the sidebar links aren’t working. Which leads me to my...
