IM Niche Formula has been released by Mark Dulisse, and it’s making some hefty promises for niche marketers.

Mark and I have been friends for awhile and he’s an avid user of my themes. He contacted me several months ago while putting together his IM Niche Marketing course and tried in vain to get me to include my FlexSqueeze theme into IM Niche Formula as his recommended niche marketing theme for WordPress. I told him there was no way I was going to pad his pockets with my theme (sorry Mark), so instead, I decided to offer FlexSqueeze as an IM Niche Formula bonus. Simply for buying Mark’s course and learning the skills to earn a great living as an internet marketer, I’ll give you the best theme available for applying what Mark will teach you in the course.

Mark’s story is pretty cool, as he’s fairly new to internet marketing, yet has built some very successful niche websites (to the tune of over $10K a month) using the same techniques he’s teaching in his IM Niche Formula program. The course will be delivered over 6 weeks, with 8 modules and one bonus module included. Read the rest of this entry

I had some requests for the ability to apply different squeeze pages within the same blog, so I updated the theme over the weekend to include five different squeeze page templates. You can now apply different header images to the five templates and apply them to any pages on your site. You can use a custom header image for each if you want, and the squeeze page title is optional, so if you don’t use a custom title it will simply use the title of the page you apply the template to.

I also added a 6th page template to the theme, which is a full-width page template. So you can now have a normal blog page with no sidebar, and still maintain all your blog elements such as comments, header, navigation, footer, etc. This template could also be used as a sales page within your blog and maintain your blog appearance.

Version 1.1 is available for all new purchases now, and prior buyers will receive update emails to download the updated version.

This story is so humorous I just had to post it because I’m sure a lot of you can relate. As affiliate marketers, we have accounts with Commission Junction, ClickBank, Share-a-sale, Linkshare, PepperJam, Copeac, ClickBooth, PayPal, Adwords, Adsense, Azoogle, Chitika, InLinks, NetKlix, Webmaster tools, hosting accounts, domain accounts, site logins, blog feed accounts, Digg, Technorati, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, YouTube, WordPress, and I could go on and on and on.

I have so many logins there would be no way to keep them all straight so I use this login management software that keeps my logins all nicely organized and can be easily transferred from desktop to laptop so your logins are always handy.

Almost all my affiliate payments are via PayPal or ACH, but one company had made payment via mailed check up until last fall when I switched from a DBA to a corporation. I had completed all the ACH paperwork, faxed it in to the company and my rep said he would take care of it. Read the rest of this entry

I really hope you’re using some kind of traffic stats program to track the website traffic coming to your blog. I primarily use Google Analytics, although it doesn’t provide real-time tracking and can take up to a day to fully compile your prior day’s stats.

I will freely admit that I am obsessed with tracking visitor statistics on my sites. Not necessarily THIS site, as the traffic patterns for this site are pretty steady from organic Google results, Warrior Forums, Digital Point, a few major blogs and a ton of individual click throughs from blogs that use one of my themes.

My obsession is more with finding out what keywords people are using to find my sites. I hope you’re paying attention here, because your analytics keywords can provide you with a tremendous amount of information and open up new long-tail niches that you hadn’t thought of before.

When I say Affiliate Theme for Wordpress, you might think I’m referring to the new Unique Blog Designs theme that you can view here. Nope, I’m talking about affiliate themes and internet marketing WordPress themes in general.

I’m going to the drawing board for a completely new affiliate theme for WordPress. Having had some great input from hundreds of Flexibility, Flexibility 2 and FlexSqueeze users, I want to narrow the focus to what are the absolute necessary features in an affiliate theme.

My past themes have focused on maximum customization, with options as detailed as controlling the letter spacing in the sidebar titles. With my next project, I want to maximize the usability of the theme while at the same time minimizing the control options in order to facilitate faster deployment and improved user experience.
