Suzanne,

I’ve heard the teaching sell site is pretty good, although I have no experience with it.

The tool I’m looking at using is this WP membership pluggin.

It’s a WP pluggin that turns WP into a membership site. It seems pretty flexible and apparently can integrate with Paypal,1shoppingcart as well as aweber. They seem to have excellent support and are very actively developing new functionality.

I bought the single license thinking I’d check it out first but now I wish I had bought the unlimited lic because it looks like I’ll be using it on a number of sites. The upgrade will cost an extra $40 more than if I had bought the multiple lic. to begin with.

anyway, once I would through it al I’ll send out a short lesson to the course.

cheers,
todd

Todd,

Thanks!

If you’re going to promote the Teaching Sells program at some point, I’ll wait and join through your aff link. (http://teachingsells.com/)

If you do any private consulting work, let me know. I’ve got plenty to do developing content for the time being!

Hey Suzanne, thanks for dropping by!

I’m thrilled to hear you like the way the course was done.

What you’re asking for is actually something I’m investigating right at this moment as it’s something I’m trying to setup for a a new niche I’m moving into.

Once I get the details worked out I’ll send something out to the course members.

cheers,
todd

Hi Todd,

I’m very impressed with the way you administer your Long Tail Treasure course.

I’m wondering if I could pay you do make me a quick vid tutorial on how to set up an online course using Wordpress 2.7, aWeber and PayPal. No need to make it pretty with Final Cut/iMovie or anything. I just need to know how to set up the course.

My niche involves the fiction writing world. Would you email me so I can give you details?

Thanks,
Suzanne

When I first starting blogging I use to get my husband to proof everything I wrote - so I’d write a draft with comments and ask him to check it out. Once instead of saving as draft I published it with comments like:

“do you think people will get this or should I dumb it down?”

It was up for about 6 hours before my husband had a chance to look at it. Likely since my blog was pretty new and my readership wasn’t massive only about 3 people had seen it. I was very embarrassed and one person left me a comment about how dumb do I think they are? Yikes!
