Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

The WordPress Wizard was privileged to be interviewed on Blog Talk Radio today. I was on Rosey Dow’s ‘Let’s Get Real Marketing’ show.

We chatted about – what else – WordPress!! We talked about what you need to get started, my 4 favorite plugins, and how to write to your market. Rosey is ‘The Prospect Profiler’. She teaches us how to know who we are and who are ideal clients are.

Listen to our interview here and let me know what you think.

WordPress: Magic Membership Sites

By cathy · Comments (11)

Monday, March 15th, 2010

There is a LOT of discussion going on right now about membership sites. There are people who are dissing WishList Member who haven’t even used it! And people are thanking them for the ‘great info’.

I am going to dispel the myth of what’s going on. You will be getting information from me within a day or so on ‘Magic Membership Sites’ – a virtual course I will be teaching starting within a few weeks.

I’m sick of people assuming authority they don’t have. Watch for info on the preview call – coming within a week. Meanwhile, register for the dial in details here – it will be a few days before I have the day and time nailed down but register anyway – there will be a replay up for a limited period of time.

What do YOU want in 2010??

By cathy · Comments (0)

Friday, January 1st, 2010

It’s 2010 – the start of a new decade. I’ve been reading a lot about what people want in 2010. Here is some of what I found:

You want to learn how to use WordPress as your ‘site’.

You want more interactive learning opportunities and more learning by demonstration.

You want to know if e-mail is dead.

You’re less interested in print ebooks and more interested in one on one and group coaching.

You want to know how to make social networking and social bookmarking work effectively for you.

I hear you and I will be providing that learning throughout the first part of 2010 and beyond. So watch the blog for your opportunities to learn exactly what you have said you want to learn.

If you have other ideas about what YOU want, please leave a comment or e-mail me. I will pay attention to all of them and incorporate them into training classes or The Wizard Presents teleseminars.

Happy WordPress New Year

By cathy · Comments (3)

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

This week as been a time of reflection and planning. Notice I did not say creating resolutions. I believe resolutions don’t work. Planning does.

My business coach, Linda Lopeke, gave me some great ‘planning’ advice. Start by making a list of your victories. Yes – victories. Why not start on a positive note? Decide to do more of that in the coming year.

Did you get your blog up and running in 2009? Did you NOT get your blog up and running in 2009? Either way, put your WordPress site at the forefront of your plans for 2010. Remember, your site/blog is the heart of your virtual marketing empire and if you pay attention to it, you will reap great rewards in the coming year.

The WordPress Workshop is a perfect way to accomplish that plan. It starts in a few weeks and the people on the early notification list will get the first chance to register starting on Monday, January 4. You can get on the early list for the next few days by visiting The WordPress Workshop.

We will learn so much more than how to ‘do’ a blog – we will learn how to leverage the power of WordPress through social media AND how to use your WordPress site as your complete content management system – including a blog portion or not. It’s your choice.

The WorkShop size is strictly limited due to the hands on nature of it – everyone gets his/her own ‘practice’ WordPress site – away from the prying eyes of the search engines. This WorkShop is the true definition of interactive. After each WorkShop session you will have a challenge to complete before the next module. You will learn by doing and there is no better way to learn than by doing it yourself.

So – go on over to The WordPress Workshop and find out all the details about what we will be doing and learning and then register for the early notification list. Remember, early notification ends on Monday when the people who are registered for early notification will get the first chance to register for the WorkShop. It will open to the general public on Wednesday, January 6 if there are still open slots. MANY people have already expressed an interest in this WorkShop so I don’t guarantee that it will even be available to others.

Start the New Year with a plan and a WordPress site. You will reap the rewards!

Alex Mandossian says your first site should be a WordPress Blog!!

By cathy · Comments (1)

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Alex Mandossian says your first site should be a WordPress Blog!! He says this a lot and he said it again last night on Teleseminar Secrets. And he should know. His blog has an Alexa ranking of 59,562.

Let me explain this ranking. If you have a ranking of less than a million you’re doing OK. When your ranking falls below 500,000 it’s time to celebrate. When you break below 100,000 you know you have a top blog.

I’ve been Alex’s blog manager as well as his traffic manager and I can tell you we worked diligently on his blog. He created a posting schedule and he told his readers what that schedule would be. And he stuck to it. He also sends e-mail to his community when there’s a great new post and he tells them to go to the post and leave comments. And they do it. This technique is part of my Commenting Strategies class – along with many more. Alex also says your first non-hosted site should be Twitter and Facebook. I couldn’t agree more and you are going to learn all that and a whole lot more in the next WordPress Workshop.

I’d like to invite you to get on the early notification list for the next WordPress Workshop. It will be starting soon – mid January. Because of the hands on nature of this WorkShop, enrollment is strictly limited. Those on the early notification list will have the opportunity to register before it is open to the general public. So go to TheWordPressWorkshop now and get on the early notification list. There is no obligation – you are simply telling me that you want to be notified. While you are at the WorkShop page, read all about it and find out what all you get in this WorkShop – you will be really impressed and you can’t get his kind of training anywhere else!!

WordPress – Where to Start?

By cathy · Comments (0)

Friday, December 11th, 2009

As you might know, I invite you to ask your most burning question about WordPress. In fact, you can do that right now – look just to the right of this post – top of the right sidebar – and ask your question.

Recently I was asked – ‘Where do I start?’ People who have been around WordPress for awhile might forget what it’s like not to know where to start but I have a great solution to that.

It’s called ‘The WordPress Workshop‘ and it will begin again in January – next month! This workshop is great for beginners or for veterans who want updated, to the minute information about WordPress.

Each person in the WorkShop has his/her own student blog – well hidden from the prying eyes of the search engines – for beginners to learn and for veterans to have a stress free environment for experimentation and learning how to incorporate Social Media to leverage that immense power.

Enrollment in this WorkShop is limited but there is an early notification list of people who will get the first chance to enroll when it is open for registration. A go to the head of the line pass, if you will.

Check it out at The WordPress Workshop and get your name on the early notification list. Enrollment will be first come, first served – AFTER you who have expressed an interest in the WorkShop have your chance.
