As I understand it, during the prelaunch to Auto Content Cash, you can get a free plugin that Brian originally had created to sell. It’s part of the promotion to get people excited about the new program.
To be honest, I have’t downloaded the plugin yet. My youngest daughter has been sick for the past four days, and she was diagnosed with pneumonia earlier today. So, my time is being spent elsewhere at the moment. But I wanted to let all of you know about this so you could get the plugin while it is available. I do not know if the plugin will still be available after the launch date of 03/09/2010. Download the plugin here.
If you already have it, what do you think about it? I am VERY eager to use it myself, and can’t wait to hear what others think of it.

Hi
I run a load of entertainment sites (5 years in the industry) outside of mainstream and the site you see here is my first feeble (unfinished attempt..)into the mainstream markets…I am a total newbie to mainstream.
I have just visited autocontentcash.com and I am still have no clue what autocontentcash is. All i saw was a website selling me something with no info on the actual product but more info on what ill get if i decide to sign up through autocontentcashbonus.com…
I have also just become an unsuspecting purchaser of BANS as well. Why you ask? Well here goes… I left two messages over two days and still no reply to either…I realize this is not your problem but im having an extremely hard time trying to decipher the difference between people trying to sell me things and give me genuine information. What to buy and what not to buy. I cant even my logo to upload to the bans template which to be honest is a bit of a joke..For all the people out there that have bought this product theres not one single person that can reply to me? Lame..
Is BANS going down the crapper? should i stick to wordpress only?
Perhaps you could give me your two pennies on the whole deal..
Kind regards Sean

Sean,
Welcome to the wonderful world of Internet Marketing! It can be crazy and frustrating, but it is also highly addictive to those with the right personality for it.
I’m sorry to hear that you have not gotten a response from BANS, but I’m also not surprised. It isn’t that BANS has gone down the crapper (though some may disagree with me on that). Rather, the creators of the script decided to sell it, and are in the process of doing just that at this time.
Re: BANS – BANS was a great platform a few years back. So was eBay as an affiliate program. Much has changed since then, and eBay has changed the most, and for the worst. They have COMPLETELY changed their affiliate program from the time when BANS was created.
The future of BANS is unknown. No one knows what will happen once it is sold, or if it will even be updated to be compatible with all the changes that eBay has made (in fact, I think the current version of BANS is broken because of change eBay has made – there is a fix for this, but you would need to implement it yourself, and if you are new to working with code, that might not be your thing).
Honestly, if I were you, I would request a refund for your purchase. Even if you aren’t getting a response, you should be able to get it through PayPal (I think you first need to attempt to get a refund through the BANS site, then, if you get no response within a reasonable amount of time, you can refute the charge through PayPal and go through their process of getting your money back).
Re: WordPress – Should you stick with WordPress? My opinion is, yes. Plugins are what make WordPress so very powerful. Once you understand that you can pretty much do anything you want to a site, simply by adding a plugin, then you probably won’t want to go back to another platform. There are tons of great plugins, many of which are free, some you need to pay for.
You said you are new to creating mainstream sites. As such, I HIGHLY recommend the Commission Ritual. It will take you step-by-step to show you how to research niches for potential affiliate earnings, how to create your sites, and how to care for them. Many of the readers of my blog have joined (as have I). It is one of the best instructional methods I have come across, and many of its purchasers are newbies to this type of thing. You will also have access to the Commission Ritual forum, where you can ask questions if you need help, or ask others to review a site you created to make sure you did it properly.
Re: Auto Content Cash – I regret that I am unable to tell you exactly what it is, simply because it hasn’t been released and I haven’t seen it or used it. That being said, I actually have a really good idea of what it is, but am not sure if I will be able to convey it well in words. But, I’ll try (I wrote one of the tutorials, so I’m very familiar with that particular aspect of the program – because of participation, I’ve been in close communication with Brian, its creator, and he has spoken with me about what the program will be about).
As I understand it, Auto Content Cash is an instructional course, much like Commission Ritual (and created by the same person), but is geared towards automation. As in, how to automate, or speed up, each aspect of site creation and maintenance, content creation, etc.. I believe it is geared more for people who already have the basics down, and are ready to take their Internet Marketing to the next level, though I may be wrong about this. Auto Content Cash may not be for you at this time, if you are new to mainstream Internet Marketing. As already stated, I’d start with Commission Ritual to learn the process. Then, if/when you are ready, you can advance to Auto Content Cash.
I didn’t add much information on my Auto Content Cash Bonus site about the actual course because that site is about the bonus I am offering for those who purchase from me (which is why the focus of the site is on the bonus, and not the course itself).
Does that help? I’m sure I could scrape up another penny or two of thoughts if it doesn’t

Dear Rochelle,
Thanks so much for your reply. I feel happier receiving a response and some decent information to go with it…thats definitely more than i can say about BANS….I really feel cheated byt that program and yes I Will be asking for my money back. I cant believe I wasted a whole week with that software.
I got wordpress onto my server yesterday and im just looking around right now for a good ecommerce designer.
All I need now is:
A good wordpress ecommerce theme designer and a finalized template to incorporate:
Linkworth (and similar)
Adsense
A good article writing and distribution co. (non spin)
Ecommerce comparison capabilites:
(a menu button for retail and a menu button for secondhand goods {ebay and amazon})
Integration of goldencan for the non ebay amazon retailers
Photos button for the subject in question
News button for same
Info button for same
Travel button for same
How to button for same
I have looked at google alot since yesterday and turnkey is all i seem to get. Something i definitely dont want to get into!!!
I want something unique and funky.
Do you know any good designers out there that could achieve this for me?
I attacked my my non mainstream business in exactly the same way. I ordered some totally custom stuff and eventually started tweaking whereby i ended up creating my own stuff back in my photoshop dayz and went from there…
WordPress altho considerted easy is totally new to me especially in the field i am entering (not just an article blog…(which is key [i understand that bit..]) but a great ecommerce system as well that dazzles the prospective clients.
I had been over recently to markettheme dot com however i dont think they are quite what i am looking for or maybe im wrong ..not sure…
Anywayz, I lost my job at the beginning of the week so now im short on $3000 a month so i need to get the whip cracking!! Hence my crazy attitude (apologies
I really want to do this but my head is spinning. I have a decent budget and a good hosting account at nationalnet (4 years now)
Your comments as always are massively appreciated
Kind Regards Sean

Sean,
I didn’t mean to take so long to publish your question, or to respond to it. My sincere apologies about the delay.
As to a good theme, there are tons of resources for that, both free and paid. I personally stay away from free themes, as they usually have links in the footer that I don’t want there, and I’m not going to remove them, because that would be going against the terms of usage. Sure, I could remove them anyway, but that would be unethical, and I don’t think that’s right.
As to paid themes, I really like the following:
* Elegant Themes – This is a subscription theme site where you pay a very small annual fee and have access to all the themes that the creator has made. There are very nice themes there, and you can modify them, if you want and/or know how. In fact, this site uses a theme from Elegant Themes.
* FlexSqueeze – This is a single theme that is VERY easy to tweak and make unique. You are pretty much limited by your imagination. I should state that some people have complained that it isn’t as easy as they thought to modify this theme, but I found it to be the easiest of any theme I’ve used (and I’ve used a lot!).
* Thesis Theme – This is another single theme that you can tweak and make unique. I initially disliked it after I bought it, as it isn’t as easy to modify as the creator claims. However, the creator has made recent upgrades to the theme that has made it much easier. In fact, there was another upgrade released within the past few days. I haven’t downloaded it yet, but it’s supposed to make things even easier. I have several AdSense sites, and have found that the click-through ratio is best when I use the Thesis theme (over 10%).
I have used TextBroker for unique content and have been very happy with the results. It takes a bit of getting used to the format to really get it right when asking for articles. I recommend being as specific as possible with what you want (1st person voice? 2nd? 3rd? Written to convince people to buy something? What do you want from your articles?)
I use Article Marketing Automation (aka AMA) for article distribution, but this does require spinning. You spin a single article, and submit it to AMA. AMA will then distribute spun versions across their blog network.
Since you say you’ve lost your job and are short $3000 each month, it is possible that you may feel a bit of desperation to make Internet Marketing (IM) fill that financial void. Please know that IM is not a get-rich-quick kind of thing. There is a pretty steep learning curve, and once you get that down, it still takes several months before your sites will begin earning. My goal is to make about $10,000 each month. I started this plan of attack in January, and I am anticipating that it may take as much as two years for me to achieve this goal.
I may be wrong about the above, but I didn’t want to give you any false claims. IM is something a lot of people misunderstand as something they can do and get rich within a matter of weeks. Instead, IM is an ever-changing game field. Once you get something figured out, there is a change that means you may need to reassess your strategy (such as when eBay completely changed their affiliate program).
Good luck,
Rochelle
