Leverage Your Visibility with Online Video – Free Call Tonight!

Denise Griffitts — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:48:50 +0000

Online video is huge. It is absolutely everywhere and is a enormously popular marketing tool for entrepreneurs. Did you know that video is being called the “must use marketing tool” of 2010?

If you want to use video to promote your business, but you’re not sure where to begin, I can point you in the right direction. My friend and colleague Lou Bortone is the go-to guy for video and if you want to get some video marketing tips and tricks from him, you can listen to him tonight. This is brand new, never-before-shared content and doesn’t require you to opt-in or sign-up. Just show up here.

Lou tells me that this call tonight will also give you a brief “sneak peak” of the first ever online video bootcamp on Saturday, March 27. It is aptly named “Video in a Day!”

If you want to find out how to market and promote your business with video, this is the perfect opportunity. It’s easy, affordable and you can get your video online in just one day!

I really hope you’re able to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn video from Lou.

Once you have posted your new videos please come back here and let us know where we can see them!

WP WishList – Membership Site Plugin

Denise Griffitts — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:37:26 +0000

Buy 1 License, Get The Second for $25 Until March 17

If you, or a client want to create a quick and VERY powerful membership site using your current or planned WordPress installation, I highly recommend Wishlist Member.

As more and more web development clients discover the power of WordPress, we find ourselves working regularly with projects that integrate this membership plugin.

Right now Wishlist Member is offering a Two License Promo (this is not advertised on their site) meaning that anyone who purchases a Single Site License has the opportunity to get a second license at a whopping 74% discount. It’s the best deal they’ve ever offered and for an extra $25, you get a second license – which means you can use it on another site.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a membership site, private community or you need a way to deliver a digital course, then you’ll want to take a look at this.

Why do I recommend this plugin so highly?

Because I work in it almost daily for myself and for our Web Development and Virtual Assistance clients. It’s by far the best solution for creating a membership site and there are even 30+ videos available for free showing you how it’s being used. Besides the huge savings, you’ll find that once you start using WishList Member, you’ll quickly see that there are many ways to use it.

For example, a little while back they released a free training video demonstrating 10 of the most popular kinds of membership sites (and some of them don’t even have content inside!). You can view that here.

My Web Development team is expert at working with this plugin so please feel free to ask any questions you like!

Critical Tools For Building an Online Business

Denise Griffitts — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:46:14 +0000

I am regularly asked what tools and resources we can recommend to help people build their online presence in a linear and logical fashion.

Some time ago we created a PDF that our web development and virtual assistance clients have access to at Your Office On The Web on the client document password protected page.

As there is nothing client sensitive in this document I wanted to share it here with you along with a few more resources that are not currently listed in it. As you can imagine, it is a “living” document and updates regularly. Here is it’s most recent incarnation.

Click here to download Recommended Resources. Some of these resources are coded with my affiliate links, some are not.
