The Secret for Business – With Details!
I think by now that most people who pay close attention to social media marketing are probably familiar with Gary Vaynerchuk. He is the “social media” expert behind the now famous Wine Library TV. Frankly, I don’t much care for wine and rarely drink alcohol of any description but keep up with this website just to see what new ideas Gary comes up with that can be utilized for myself or my clients.
I just found out that one of my favorite WordPress Plugins, WP Wishlist is now offering a free copy of Gary’s new book “Crush It” and an interview with Gary during the month of October with any purchase. The book is a perfect match for all WishList customers as it outlines how to turn your passion into a profitable business by using the internet. As Gary himself says about this book, it is “the secret for business – with details!” If you are in the process of building a membership site WP Wishlist is a “MUST HAVE” plugin. Combining it with this book is pure genius in my opinion.

My clients needs fully functioning membership sites and together we have run the gamut from Moodle to iGrOOPs and everything in between, including Ning which is a nice free community site, but just doesn’t have the functionality that we needed.
Eventually I landed on WP Wishlist and life become much easier. We have launched this software for many client websites and as it is easily integrated with 1shoppingcart, our clients have a powerful membership site up and running in short order.
Chris Garrett, a high profile blogger, was recently interviewed by the developers of WP Wishlist on how he has developed several membership sites using WordPress. The whole interview is available here.

read moreTracking Blog Visitors Through Google Analytics
If you follow me around at all you know that I am a huge fan of WordPress Platform website/blogs. In fact, I blog about it quite a bit here on my Internet Mastery Blog. Just type in “wordpress” in the search box and you will find a lot of very helpful information.
Plugins can extend WordPress to do almost anything you can imagine and one that is on my “MUST INSTALL” list for any WP installation is Ultimate Google Analytics.
How to install and activate Ultimate Google Analytics
- Login to your Google accounts control panel. If you have not set this up yet, you will need to create an account here.
- Create a website profile by clicking the “Add Website Profile” link.
- Provide the URL of the site that you will be adding Google Analytics to.
- You will be provided with two options. You need the Web Property ID from the yellow box at the top of the page entitled “Tracking Status Information. The code will look something like this: UA-999999-9.
- Login to your WordPress Admin. Depending on the version of WP that you are using you should be able to install new plugins directly from your dashboard. If not, you will need to download this plugin and FTP into your account.
- Once you have installed and activated the plugin, enter your Google Analytics account ID and save your options.
Make it a point to login to your Google accounts regularly to track visitor traffic such as the total number of visits and page views your site received, the average number of page views per visit, (P/V) and the number of visits and page views over time. You will also be able to see visits by new and returning. This is valuable data to have and will assist you in creating content that your visitors want to return to time and time again.
