Diving into the world of online marketing can be daunting without proper guidance, a few good mentors and a clear goal in mind. The volume of so-called online marketing guru’s who’s only purpose seems to be to sell you online marketing how-tos is staggering and makes it difficult to separate those from whom you can really learn something and get value for your money, from those who only get your money leaving you with little to gain in return, other than another hard and expensive lesson. However, this past week I had the privilege of being one of 30 people who were able to attend the WishList Member Live 2009 Conference in Las Vegas and I can tell you It was worth every penny and then some. The networking was excellent, the lessons meaningful and applicable to your business and it shortened the learning curve for me to start profiting from my efforts significantly. In short I found my mentors, got the guidance I was looking for and established a clear path to achieving my objectives…. hard to put a price on that.
To begin with if you have not heard for WishList member, it is a premium plugin for WordPress which allows you to create a membership website. If you are interested in creating a membership site, paid or free, you should definitely check out this plugin, the $97 might be more than you are used to paying for WordPress plugins but it is worth every bit of it and then some. Given the possibilities it enables for revenue generation, I’d say it’s a steal.
Stu McLaren, Tracy Childers and quite frankly, everyone in the conference, could not have been more generous with their knowledge and experience and they get my thanks and gratitude for everything they shared over the two days we were there.
I would advise anyone looking to build a membership site to lookat WishList Member (you can read the VSEllis.com review of the plugin I wrote well before the conference) or go straight to WishList to check it out. I would also suggest that if you are looking to build your business online, seek out knowledgable, experienced and successful mentors and peers any way you can. Doing so will expedite your growth online exponentially.
