Over 3 hours of video as you watch over this shoulder as he bends WordPress to do exactly what you need.

Membership Tactics starts out with a big promise – “How to Set Up A Membership Site In Under 6 Minutes – Using COMPLETELY FREE Software“.
Then delivers on the promise. Quickly and easily.
But…
Setting up a site is only the beginning as we all know.
This course covers the 6 ways to sell your membership site and the one thing to avoid. That one can be a killer if you miss it.
This is covered in detail with a 47 minute video that will show you multiple ways to sell your membership site and a variety of topics.
It covers creating your content for the membership site and even goes into how to flip the site for a big cash payout.
Because the membership site is WordPress based it is easy to add other plugins to increase the functionality of your site. Some are free and others have a cost but the product covers when and why to use each type.
All in all a great value for the investment and something that I have used multiple times to easily create membership sites.
If you use WordPress blogs you really need to consider WP Syndicator.One of the best ways to get better search engine rankings is through creating back links. WP Syndicator is a WordPress plugin that will do that for you automatically.
It takes advantage of a variety of sites like Blogger, Tumblr, Multiply and 12 others. Every time you post to your blog it creates those 15 posts for you automatically.
This creates 15 back links to your blog each time you post. The nice part is the plugin allows you to create the anchor text for each post that gets distributed.
Not only do you get the links but they are deep links to the interior posts that created them.
Now you do need to take the time to set up the accounts for each of the services. Here is where the sales letter is a bit optimistic. It mentions a 10 minute set up, 5 if you already have the accounts set up.
Not realistic in my opinion but it is a one time effort and took me about 45 minutes to create all the accounts and add them into the settings. That was the only fault I found with WP Syndicator though.
Once it is set up it does a great job of adding back links and I have seen an increase in the traffic from both some of the automatically created posts but more from higher rankings in the search engines.
Definitely a rarity, a paid WordPress plugin that I find to be a must have for any serious blogger.
This blog allows me to let my split personalities rein free. Sometimes you get Mike Paetzold the nice Old Bald Guy and sometimes you get the evil twin.
He is easy to tell as he likes to type in red as he rants about whatever is bothering him.
Either one will provide you with quality information and differing view points on various products and things going on about the place we call the blogosphere.
