The WordPress Plugin that will change your business

Okay, I have to admit I believe that my transformation from muscle head to tech geek is completed 🙂 How do I know this to be true? Well, last Friday I purchased a WordPress Plugin that is going to change everything when it comes to online and local marketing. When I bought this plugin I was so kiddy I dreamed all weekend long about sharing this with you today. If that is not a ture testament of my transformation then I don’t know what it is that will tell you I am know a tech geek. Anyway, I will tell you more about the plugin in a minute but first I need to put some context together for everyone to see why this WordPress Plugin is going to be so great!

Several months ago I wrote a post about Google Places being King when it comes to local search and the importance of having your local business grab the free web listing that Google is providing to help you rank high in local search. Well, the company that I was following that taught me about combining local search with mobile phones came up with a WordPress Plugin to help create mobile landing pages.

Here are some stats to think about when it comes to mobile and local search:

There are 5 billion plus cell phone users versus only 1.8 billion Internet users. This market is already almost 300% larger than the internet.

With over 50% of all social media posts being made from a mobile device you can see the potential.

This is possibly the biggest fundamental shift in how people communicate. There is a huge opportunity for marketers and brands.

Don’t be Left Behind

In 1999, most people were just starting to get the Internet. Twelve years later there are many who missed out on that huge opportunity.
In 2011, the next big area for growth is mobile. You can either be a part of it or be left in the dust while your competitors take advantage of this.

Mobile LPS
The name of the WordPress plugin is called Mobile LPS. Without getting into too much of the technical details of the plugin, which might be a future post the main benefit and beauty of this plugin is that it allows you to make custom landing pages that show up perfectly on your mobile device. It also let’s you integrate your Aweber or auto responder into the screen to capture leads. Also, what I love is that the average person can create these mobile landing pages in just a few minutes. These are just a few of the great benefits to having this plugin.

Now, I know most people are visual learners so stay tuned for tomorrow as I have put together a video tutorial of how simple and easy it is to use the Mobile WordPress plugin.

Before I go let this survey sink in that was recently conducted. “94% of North Americans would purchase from their smart phones if they knew it was secure to buy.”

I am telling you don’t miss out on mobile marketing!

3 Website Traffic Methods that you can Bank On

Hello everyone,

I don’t have much time today because it is 80 degrees here in Texas and I know 80 degrees means 100 is not too far away. That being said, I will get to the point so I can get outside and enjoy the weather!

Over the last several posts I have been promoting some options for you to get a membership site up and running. I believe whether you are a small business or mid size business, having a paid membership site is a great way to add a passive income stream to your business.

Today, however, I want to talk to you about traffic. Yes, web traffic to your site. Unfortunately, if you build it, they will not just come. You have to have a strategy and plan to get web traffic.

I know you have pobably heard of SEO (search engine optimization) and if not SEO is a way to rank high in the search engines. For most of us SEO is not a great strategy to get traffic. SEO can be costly and timely. Also, as you may have heard in the news recently Google changed the way they rank content overnight. For some all their hard work is now down the drain. Now, I am not saying ignore it completely I am just saying you could spend hours on it and get little ROI (return on investment). So what can you do?

Here are three website traffic methods you can bank on that won’t break your bank:

1.) Buyandsellads.com – Buy ads on over 2,900 successful blogs! Just pick the site you want to advertise on, and within minutes your ad will be shown

2.) Stumbleupon.com – Another place you can buy cheap ads that will drive users who are looking for similar content directly to your site.

3.) Tubemogul.com – Create videos and submit them to over 30 video hosting sites at once. A video syndication account is free.

Bonus method

Facebook – I am sure I do not need to tell you how big Facebook is. Let me tell you, if you are not using FB to advertise your site then you are losing out. Facebook is a marketer’s best dream. FB allows you to dial right in to your target audience. For example, I use it to advertise my Working Mom Workouts membership site. I target women who are ages 32-45,  have kids ,with health and fitness as theie interest. And the best part is on go do this locally or go global with no extra cost. Tell me where else can you do that!!

So, once you have your site up and running go ahead and focus on the traffic methods I provided for you. If you have questions please feel free to contact me.

In health and welath,

Done for You WordPress Blogs

Hello everyone. I am so excited today and hope you are too! One reason is because today is March 1st and for those of that live in Texas, March and April are typically great months weather wise. I mean after this winter we sure could use some nice weather. The other reason I am excited is because I am going to be launching my new service, Done for You WordPress Blogs, on April 1st.

No, it will not be an April Fools joke. After several years of building and tweaking my own blogs I felt it was time to start giving back and helping others create one themselves. Let’s face it it is not rocket science but for most of us we are either one, too busy or two, just a little intimidated by SEO, FTP, Plugins, etc… So, starting on April 1st I will be offering a new service focusing on creating and supporting anyone who needs help with their WordPress blog.

I am still working out all the details but will have a follow up to this post real soon. If you already have a blog or are on the fence as to why should I create one go check out my FREE Report on “5 Ways to Monetize Your Blog.”

Forgive me but I have to go now. It is 70 degrees out and I am going to enjoy the outside before those 100 degree days get here!

In health and wealth,
Coach Dave
