Webinar Express – Goodbye to GoToWebinar Forever!

Webinar Express – Goodbye to GoToWebinar Forever!
Every once in a while, a product comes along that literally changes the course of an entire marketplace.

Google did it with Online Advertising
Apple did it with the iPhone

Well, for far too long, Online Webinars have been expensive and very clunky to use. I tried working with GoToWebinar 12 months ago and it was a nightmare to use and equally so to record and store for later use. I gave up in utter frustration.

GoToWebinar and their fellow online webinar businesses are about to go out of business, seriously.

Webinar Express is a WordPress plugin that […]

WP Engine – Hosting Isn’t Hosting If You Run WordPress

You Know Speed = More Sales, Right?

When it comes to making sales, performance in your website is of paramount importance.

Speed and reliability means people have initial confidence in your front line entity and continue to look further at what you offer.

So, the hosting platform you choose is critical for your online business.
Back Story
Most of you know I was the VP of Customer Technical Support many years ago, for WebCentral.

To be honest, WebCentral saw explosive growth for being in the right place at the right time – the beginning of businesses getting onto the Internet and needing hosting space.

A lot […]

WP Social SEO Booster IS My New Best Friend – I See Stars!

Confession: I’ve fallen out of love!
You know yourself, seeing Star Ratings in the Google SERPs catches your own eye.

And so it goes for everyone else, using Google.

Star Ratings are the new best friend for anyone with a website and wanting more traffic and potential customers.

And Star Rating add credibility which is an influencing factor in Sales.

I fell out of love with Author hReview and found a new love to replace her – and she’s even better so read on.
Why Author hReview Is Rubbish?

Ongoing (and high priced) 6 monthly renewal subscription.
In comparison to my new love, I personally think Author […]

Growing ‘The’ List
You already know that the value of your online business is in your Mailing List, right?

And how do they get into your Mailing List funnel, for the most part?

Your Opt-In Form Widgets, of course.
Opt-Ins Forms Now SuperCharged!
Previously, I raved about Magic Action Box which was my ‘Go To’ Opt-in form widget, of choice.

Sadly, that day has passed as I stumbled upon Hybrid Connect – so it’s not really sad, it’s awesome!

Man, this thing is freaking awesome and I’ll tell you why you need it and shell out a few bucks to get it.
GUI Goodness
The main challenge in […]

Is VirUrl Just a Haven For Click Fraud and Bots?

Is VirUrl Worth Any Investment At All?
In the never-ending pursuit of marketing and advertising efficiencies, my research pointed to 2 emerging advertising networks that are supposedly designed for spreading the news about small business blogs and the content.

These are OutBrain and Virurl.

I wanted to test them out and kick the tyres – so you don’t have too.

Wysija Newsletter WordPress plugin Review

Wysija Newsletter WordPress plugin Review
What’s not to like about Aweber, MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Vertical Response or Constant Contact?

For me, it’s not owning your own farm. Your subscribers are held by a third party and being able to move to another newsletter service involves having your subscribers Opt-in again. That will see upwards of a 50% or more loss in numbers which could be a disaster for profits.

WPHypnolinks Review – The Secrets and The Inside Scoop

Get Rid of Link Blindness and Add Value for Readers
I was fortunate enough to be asked to be on the beta tester team of WPHypnolinks, by the plugin author – Andy Bailey.

Maybe Andy recognised I tend to fumble around, test features, ask questions and ask for functionality features that I would find highly useful, as a blog and website owner.

Or maybe I was just lucky to be included.
Link Blindness
As a general reader of websites, I know myself that I have what is commonly referred to as ‘Link Blindness’.
