A Happy St. Patricks Day today to those who like a Guinness

Remember to keep your positive attitude when looking at a half full glass!

I sincerley hope you’ve had a great weekend,
I spent most of mine with Rachel, we took in a movie
(Shrooms – not one I’d recommend unless you want to
put your kids off trying magic mushrooms,
it’s a great anti drugs ad…lol)

So now it’s back to work

I’m sitting writing this when I have so much more
I should be doing, but I did want to update you on the UFA
performance before the discount is over.

And that gave me chance to stick in a couple of useful
‘how to’s’ that I’ve been wanting to send…

So my messages are a bit like the UK buses just now…
Nothing for a fortnight then 2 at once…lol
(I don’t know if that’s just a Brit thing with the buses?
But it always seems to work that way when you’re waiting for them!)

* How To Get Into Your ‘Locked’ Blog.

This first ‘How To’ is courtesy of Dan over at D9 Hosting
It came about because I seem to have a problem with some of
the plugins I have on my blog.

Every once in a while something goes wrong – and my log in
details cease to work!
This was a constant frustration, as I was always having to
submit a support ticket to Dan & Paula.

(It has to be said that they never left me more than an hour
or so before they fixed it for me)….

BUT, I wanted to know How to fix it myself!

Eventually I got around to asking Dan and he sent me the
instructions… It was so simple to follow I was amazed.

That said – following them took me to parts and places I’d
never seen before, and in reality – If I had to do this from memory ..

I would be totally lost!

So here’s what Dan said to do, AND it was so easy I was gobsmacked!
(Is Gobsmacked a word for all my readers or just here in
the North of England?)

So  – If you are, one day, suddenly locked out of
your WP Admin and don’t know what happened,
You may wish to try this:

###
Go to your cpanel then follow these instruction…

1. Log into PHPMYAdmin from your cPanel

2. Click on the YourUserName_wrdp1 database down the left hand side.

3. Click on the wp_options link that will appear down the left hand side

4. Click the “Browse” tab

5. On the 2nd page look for a field called “active_plugins” under the
option_name heading and then click on the pencil icon to the left of it

6. Remove all the text from the “option_value” white box and click “Go”.

And you are done!

The text to remove will look something like this:

a:4:{i:0;s:19:”akismet/akismet.php”;i:1;s:16:”sem-dofollow.php”
;i:2;s:35:”sociable/tool-man/coordinates.cache”;i:3;s:30:
“sociable/images/yahoomyweb.old”;}

Then go back to your admin login and hey presto – it’ll work

Now you just need to go back to your admin, login and then go
to the plugins menu and re-activate the ones you want to use.

Job Done!
###

If you have any further questions – Don’t ask me…lol
Just grab a hosting account with D9 here:
And then submit a support ticket – Dan and Paula are so fast at
answering them, you’d think they never slept!

Hope that one helped.

* How To Profit From PLR

This post came about due to a discussion over at
MoreMonthly private forum.

Members have had a heated debate on a recent launch of
some PLR products.

The main thrust of the debate was the fact that so many
people seem to grab a costly PLR product, thinking it will
make them loads of Ca$h…. only to discover that within DAYS
every Tom, Dick & Harry are selling them ‘as is’ for pennies
on the dollar.

At this point others either give up, and their expensive
purchase sits on their hard drive never to be opened again…
OR
They join the bandwagon and stick them up quickly and try to
make a few dollars back by selling them as is – just the same
as everyone else.

So why should you consider using PLR?
(Because they can be Very, Very profitable! – both in terms of
ca$h AND in building your lists!)

Private Label Rights (PLR) are used by some of the top
internet entrepreneurs to quickly create products with
very little investment of time or capital.
Unfortunately, most internet entrepreneurs who have heard
about PLR, make very little money with it. Instead of
following a profitable plan, they run around in circles
like a dog chasing its tail just as mentioned above!

Here’s why:

PLR products are completely customizable. Whether it’s
an ebook, a piece of software, or a graphics package,
you have complete control over the content.

It’s the same as if I write an ebook for you and then give it
to you and let you put your name on it and take all the
credit for the content as if it’s yours.
It’s fast, it’s simple and it’s completely legal.

So why doesn’t everyone do it?

Because it takes some work, (There’s the biggy) it’s a
very minimal amount of work, but it is work.

Most people are chasing get rich quick schemes so
their impression of a successful PLR business is to buy
lots of PLR products, stick them on a website and sell
them to other people who do the same.

It doesn’t take very long until the market is saturated with
the same PLR products on all the PLR websites. And then the
average entrepreneur says, “PLR products don’t work.”

Meanwhile,
The entrepreneurs who have actually opened the zip file
that the PLR product came in are making money hand
over fist, because they took the time to customize the product
and introduce it to the market as their own.

Here’s how simple it is:

1. Edit the ebook and add some of your own content.
Add your own personal style and charm to the product.
Then add your name as the author. (Not forgetting to add
your own ‘Resource Section’ with links to your, or
affiliate products).

2. Personalize the graphics or have a graphic designer
do it for you.
(see www.minisite-wizard.com or www.ecoverpalace.com )
No affy links there – just good resources and great people!

3. Edit the sales letter and again add your own style and
character to it – for more help grab www.SalesLetterABC.com

When you’ve got the product complete, you can

1. Publish your website and send traffic to it.
So you sell it as a stand alone product.
Not forgetting to use one as a freebie to build your
list with www.WizardResponder.com

2. If you embed affiliate links into it, you can give
it away as a freebie. When your reader’s click on your
affiliate links, you get paid.

3. You can use them as a tool for your affiliates and
allow them to re-brand the product with their affiliate
links to your products.

4. You can turn the written ebook into an audio and sell
it as an audio ebook which adds value to the package.

5. You can strip the book down and turn it into articles.

6. You can add a workbook to it and market it as a course.

And more…

Now just for comparison, let’s look at what it would cost to
have your own ebook written.

Costs $200 – $500 for a good 50 page ebook using a ghost writer
Graphics for a website including affiliate marketing
pieces $150 – $250
Sales letter – $750 – $5,000

In real costs, you’re looking at  $1,100 – $1,950.
That’s still good because you save a huge amount of time
and all the heavy lifting is done for you. You don’t have to
take care of all the intricate details of writing and designing.

And coming from someone who’s both written my own ebooks & used PLR,
I know just how much effort can be saved if you can get a PLR product
is both useful and in restricted supply.

Naturally – I have a lot of PLR available for members to use on my site
at MoreMonthly.com

However if you want something a little more restricted, so you
know that there wont be thousands of people selling the same products
as you for pennies, And if you’re reading this post before March 22,
I’ve got a fantastic surprise for you.

It’s a brand new PLR library that you can pick up for a 99% discount.
And it’s a limited sale from a respected marketer/product creator,
Terry Telford.

Terry will only be selling this package for 7 day or 350 sales.
So it could be something you might want to investigate.
But don’t buy it if you don’t plan on making some of it your own!

One big difference with the way Terry is selling these – is
that he is also including training on what and how to make yourself
successful with these quality products … That in itself
makes it something worth investing in!

Even if you just grab a moremonthly.com membership, do take note
of the advice in this post! – I can assure you it really is worth
the extra effort to make a product your own.

[SideNote]
If you already have a heap of PLR or are a MoreMonthly member and
were thinking of actually taking action and using your PLR to do
something with, And if the only thing stopping you was wonder…

What Exactly do I do with my PLR?…

I do have Two suggestion for you
Pop over to Peggy Barons sites:

This one for “How to rewrite PLR Quickly & Easily!”

I reviewed this a while back and it’s very , very easy to follow.
You’ll get a lot of satisfaction and Aha moments as you follow Peggy along.

And this site – which is follow on from the first:
“Quickly turn PLR into your own top quality Opt-in Report to
grow your list!”


*TIP*
Don’t buy from the first til you’ve got to the send link…
then you get the chance to grab both product for less than 25 Bucks!

Whatever you do – just do something with all the PLR that’s available to you!

* Fantastic Results From UFA

OK ,
Here’s the main reason for posting this today

I promoted UFA (Ultimate Footer Ads) in my last email,
and on my blog.

Here’s the link to it (Click order to see the BIG Discount)

In the last post I told you how much I liked the ‘Unobtrusive’ way
they slid up at the bottom of the page, and how I thought they still
did a great job of catching the readers attention – without distracting
from reading the content.

I also showed you that I had already added one to my blog.
(It’ll be there at the bottom of the page if you look down)

Well here’s an update I’m thrilled to mention:

I seem to have been 100% Right in my assumptions

Prior to adding the UFA to my blog – it was getting me an average
of 2 – 3 new subscribers a day.
(Naturally I have always had an optin box on the blog – top right)

However – in the last few days since adding the UFA, I’ve seen my
new subscriber count increase to 8 a day average!

That’s 5 or more people a day who previously didn’t join my list, now
joining and grabbing my gifts.
As you can imagine, I would happily pay $47 to keep adding those sorts
of numbers daily… BUT
Graham has set the Big Discount code for me until the 19th

So if you want to grab UFA and use it yourself ,
I would highly recommend getting it before then.

Remember – The discount only shows once you hit the order button.

Also – if you have a list, do consider promoting the software, as it’s
also converting well for me.
(Yep – I admit it – it’s made me some ca$h, but my conscience is clear
as I honestly believe, and know from my own results, that it will
seriously benefit every one who grabs it)

Now I just need to find time to add it to all my sites!
(anyone have a few days spare…lol)

This is still covered by my usual quote:
****As ever – only spend your ca$h on things that
WILL help you (Not the stuff that Might One Day!)****

BUT – I would add that on the ‘One Day’ part, you could make
an exception here!
Provided that you know you will definitely have a site sometime,
this would be worth grabbing at the discounted price and leaving
somewhere prominent so you don’t forget to use it!

Even if you miss the deadline for the special price, I still
think it’s well worth the $47, but as ever – I always prefer to get
a better deal, and I’m so pleased I did on this.
(It’s the Yorkshire blood ya know – we can’t help being careful
with our ca$h)

Seriously, If you haven’t already – do consider
it as a high priority to grab this tool.

Ok – I think I’ve enthused sufficiently to prove I’m deadly serious…lol
And there’ll be no hard feelings if you don’t know me well enough
yet to trust me on this (for anyone who’s new to my Rambles)…

For those who’ve been with me a good while – you know I’m always telling
you ‘not’ to spend your ca$h on every ‘must have’ that comes along.
So hopefully you’ll appreciate my sincere recommendation to get this.

Enough said:

* WizardResponder update imminent

Finally – if you’re a www.WizardResponder.com customer
please keep an eye on your inbox for any emails we send out in the
next week or so.

Pete has just about finished testing all the updates we are going
to implement to make WizardResponder the best value, high quality
autoresponder on the market today.

I’m actually in awe of what he’s managed to accomplish with the new
WizardResponder 2.0, and how much time and effort he has put into
taking some basic concepts and simple ideas that lead to so much
upheaval and script rewriting…

I’m privileged to have Pete as a partner!
When you see the new capabilities of WizardResponder 2.0 – I’m sure
you’ll agree that it should actually be more per month than some of
the big names out there!

But once again – I want to reassure everyone that there is no price
increase planned. This service was designed and built with helping us
little guys in mind, and it will stay true to those beliefs!

OK – I’m off again or Anton will be getting frustrated at me not doing
enough to get ‘The Guru Bypass System’ ready for you.
And to be fair he has a point.
At my last Northallerton meet up I was gutted that I couldn’t share
the system with those attending, as it ‘really does’ take away the
need to listen to and buy all those expensive guru products before
making the ca$h to pay for them.

How nice it’ll be to be able to refer people to a system that can
have people using profits to build their business, to be able to
start with nothing, no site,no product, no budget… and make some
ca$h FIRST – and then use that ca$h to get those things in place
in order to build on what they already have!

Hey – I’m getting ahead of myself again, and Rambling on too much!
But before I forget – I did say last time that I figured John Thornhill
would have a heck of a bonus for MF’s BM  launch didn’t I?

Well do check his blog now.… I would seriously be tempted by this
if Mike took paypal!
