Dear readers,

I’m almost ready to release Nichework Marketing Version 2.  Thank you so much for helping by responding to my survey.

Basically the new version of the digital book is ready. I’m just working on the bonus content and the new training program.  I’m  not only going to talk about setting up a niche web site but am really going to focus on helping you know HOW and WHAT to do.  I’ve been working with a couple people helping them setup their blogs and will be bringing the information I learned into our trainings.  We’ll also do a few live webinars so you can peek over my shoulder and watch me work on web sites and you can ask questions.  It will be interactive learning.

All that is coming up in Nichework Marketing version 2!

So stay tuned for more information!

Dear Network Marketer,

WOW, long time no chat.  A lot happened in the past 16 months.  My sister-in-law died in a tragic accident.  My wife decided she wanted a divorce. I got the divorce and I’ve moved over 1000 miles away.  I just wanted you to know that I haven’t forgotten about you. Life simply got in the way.

I’m working on version 2 of Nichework Marketing.  It will be ready very soon.  Can I get your help?

I need your help in figuring out the right pricing model for version 2 of Nichework Marketing. If you could take a quick minute to fill out the survey above it would help me out a lot.

Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in putting together the Nichework Marketing training program.

I’ve begun hosting these trainings for my team in my Send Out Cards business.  I am doing the training with a leadership group.  That way I can develop the training materials and get feedback from my leadership team.

At the current pace I expect to be done with this inital round of training in January 2009.

I’m expecting that I should be able to begin the Nichework Marketing training session in early February.  I’ll have done the entire training course once for my leadership team and will have fine tuned my training materials.  My leadership team has been giving me feedback helping me learn the right pace to keep both the advanced people and the novices interested. They’ve also been giving me ideas on areas where they’d like me to go into more depth.

I’m really excited to see what we can do as a group when we launch the Nichework Marketing training in February 2009!

Hi Everyone,

I know you guys have probably been wondering what happened.

Well I got sidetracked on some projects.  Plus I got a consulting client who I couldn’t resist.

SO… I haven’t been present as much as I like.

However I would like to formally announce that we’ll start the more advanced Nichework Marketing training on August 25th.  You’ll be able to watch me live while I do internet marketing, building blogs, etc.  You’ll be able to ask questions and get help.

It will be like peeking over my shoulder while I work.

Stay tuned over the next few weeks for further information

Want to join the Nichework Marketing training program but don’t have the money?

Check out our Nichework Marketing Scholarships!

When I ran a survey a few months ago to see what kind of coaching and training program people wanted, I also asked how much people are willing to pay.  I found several people that really wanted personal training and coaching but just didn’t have the money.  I found a few that had the money but had been burned so many times they were skeptical of forking over hundreds of dollars to another “expert”.

So the Nichework Marketing Scholarship Program was created to fit these needs.

Scholarship Prizes:

3 Inner Circle Memberships to Session 1 of Nichework Marketing.  This training session will run from May  to October 2008.  This membership is valued at $1,182!

What do you need to do to apply?

A few days ago I wrote about setting up your niche network marketing web site and I suggested that you setup a blog.

You might be wondering, why a blog?  Why not a regular web site?

Today I’m going to go into more detail on why blogs are superior.

1. Blogs are easy to run
2. Blogs are popular
3. Blogs are easier to get subscribers than a regular web site
4. Blogs require less specialized knowledge or skills
5. Blogs are free and almost every paid web host has easy one click blog software

1. Blogs are easy to run. Blogging software has built into it a mechanism for creating and publishing web pages. They make it very easy for you to create new web pages. If you were cutting and pasting in content from an article site like ezinearticles.com it would literally take you two minutes a day to post articles. It’s as simple as cut and paste.

2. Blogs are extremely popular and a millions of people are avid blog readers. Not only are they avid blog readers but they actively look for new blogs. In addition there are dozens of web sites that are designed to help you get new subscribers and readers for your blogs.

3. Blogs are easier to get subscribers because they have built in mechanisms for people to subscribe to your blog. All blogs come with an rss feed which allows people to be notified when you update your blog. They don’t even have to visit your blog, the updates are downloaded automatically.

4. I alluded to this in item #1 but Blogs don’t require a lot of specialized skills. Most blogs allow you to create and edit blog posts without knowing HTML or FTP or any of this technical stuff. The interface for writing messages looks very familiar as they use the same type of icons as Microsoft Word or other familiar programs. As I said in #1 this is also why it is so easy to setup a blog because you can get your blog up and running without having to take a training course or learn techy stuff.

5. Blogs are free! You can get a free Google Blogger Blog or a free WordPress blog. Even if you have your own web site you can use WordPress. Most web hosts offer a cpanel for managing your web site, email addresses, etc. The cpanel usually has a simple one click install of WordPress built in. You just tell it the name of your site, your requested username/password and wha-la you have WordPress up and running!

I’ll go into more depth in the future but I hope this explains some of the basics of why blogs are so powerful and are in many cases superior to your old fashioned web site. At the very least blogs are usually easier for novices to get up and running. They don’t required specialized skills and there are a ton of great resources out there to help you get your blog going.
