Preview To ‘Building Your 6 to 7 Figure Consulting Business in 2010′ Interview

Many I’ve spoken with have big plans for 2010. Heck, the 2010 Winter Olympics is happening right in my ‘backyard’, so it’s a HUGE year for many businesses in Vancouver.

But if you have big dreams, without a solid business model, and/or a solid process or mentor to help you navigate to a 6-7 figure *recurring* (definitely NOT MLM or direct selling) revenue, you would surely end up where you are right now at the end of next year. It doesn’t have to be this way. Your situation can be different.

My good friend and associate, Mark Ress is a subject-matter-expert in (offline) business consulting, generating solid recurring revenue every month from his brick-and-mortar clients in his local area.

Mark and I recorded a 20-minute interview previewing a free webinar we’re organizing to show our readership how to build a profitable and recurring revenue based consulting business in 2010. View this short video below (moderate your volume as mine’s loud and Mark’s is softer) …

If you’re an eCommerce business owner, information publisher, coach, consultant or affiliate marketer, you know there are 2 major ways to get the attention of your marketplace - Free Advertising & Paid Advertising.

Search Engine Optimization is mostly categorized in the Free Advertising realm, focusing on natural (organic) positioning in the Search Engines.

You may already know about StomperNet.com, the largest group of faculty experts and business owner membership base to ever grace the Online Marketing community. No other community like this exists in this space. Plus, no other subject matter expert (SME) in the Internet Marketing space has an organization or team like StomperNet offers to educate its business members.

I’m one of the faculty at StomperNet, along with my 14 other colleagues with their own specialty disciplines, dispensing curriculum and advice to business members through web-based education and on-site conferences.

A short while ago, they released Stomping The Search Engines 1 (STSE1), an educational "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)" course which was responsible for birthing a host of prosperous business owners through growing their now multi-million dollar eCommerce and online businesses.

Fast forward to today, and new strategies and game plans are in order.

And now, StomperNet is releasing today, STSE 2 – the massively improved DVD set that includes 6 of my colleagues, experts in the field of SEO, who share invaluable strategic and tactical knowledge about how to position your website property in the top 10 of the Search Engines. Here’s STSE 2 with founders, Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon giving you the details on video.

Retails for $497. Your price? Free.

StomperNet is offering a new type of media to the marketplace. It’s an online business development monthly journal titled "The Net Effect".

The Net Effect is 50 pages of solid, actionable articles that my faculty colleagues and I contributed to. After reading an article, you can deploy the actionable items/steps to increase your online profits.

The first issue is also free, along with your Stomping The Search Engines 2 course. Just the cost of shipping.

ExtremeMember Shane Goldberg Answers Membership Software Questions

The problem with today’s membership scripts is the pain of integration with half a dozen other software scripts to make it sing for your membership business. The other issue with some of the membership services is high cost in the thousands before you open your doors for business.

Membership software developers haven’t created an all-in-one script that is sweetly integrated, so business owners and entrepreneurs like us don’t have to experience the CRUP of integrating all the pieces of the puzzle, ie.
- CMS (content management system),
- member gateway,
- email autoresponder module,
- affiliate management module,
- payment gateways,
- timed-content-moduling,
- secure media servers etc.

On the other hand, there are membership services that have all of the above available that charge an arm and leg – not something that small biz owners or entrepreneurs can handle in their budgets.

What’s Possible Today?

Shane Goldberg, CEO of ExtremeMember (http://ExtremeMember.org) has toiled the last 2 years to develop a brilliant integrated solution at a very affordable price point for business owners, consultants and entrepreneurs.

A husband and father of 2 lovely young children who lives in Adelaide, Australia, Shane experienced the pain of piece-mealing his own membership solution back in the day when he had a photoshop tutorial membership site. Hating that experience, he sought to develop a strong North American and European development team. Together, they rocked out with what you now see at http://ExtremeMember.org.

Christmas in July?

That was my experience with poking around backstage, setting up my next tutorial membership project – like Christmas all over again!

Instead of writing all the details, Shane and I had an impromptu 2-parter interview ("pain of integrating membership software" and "extrememember best features walkthrough") I want to share with you.

In addition, a week later, we organized an ‘open mic’ interview where over 140 interested business owners could ask their questions. The videos below offer you that experience. (The hour long recorded video has been split into 8 x 10-minute short clips for easier download and consumption).

Next Steps

If you’re moving forward with new membership or product business sites, and want an integrated solution that will keep you young and sane <wink>, this is what I recommend:

01. REGISTER FOR TRIAL

Click http://ExtremeMember.org and register for the $2.95 15-day trial.

This will effectively give you a backstage access tour to determine if this fits ‘the bill’. Kick tires, give it a whirl, and it may be "Christmas in July" for you like it is for me

Shane’s a good natured fellow with a heart for supporting his customers, so he’s capping the beta release at 200 accounts. After 200, he’s closing the release, so he can support us new customers effectively. (Note that it launched July 15th, 6p PT, and with the word spreading, I hope its not too late for you if you’re considering the trial).

My recommendation? For $2.95, register for the trial. Need I say more?

02. VIEW INTERVIEW VIDEOS

View the short 2-part interviews (here and here) & short 8 x 10-minute multi-part videos below.

The videos will give you an insight into this membership software platform, answer your questions, and also a sense/vibe of who Shane Goldberg is and his passion and vision for this software.

03. JOIN FACEBOOK GROUP

Join the "Extreme Member Membership Software" Facebook Group

Join this no-cost community of business owners who are either:
(1) Registered as trial members/paid members or
(2) Researching and asking more questions

When you’re registered with ExtremeMember.org, Shane has a host of video tutorials to guide you every step of the way when you’re registered for the trial. If you prefer a different modality, I’ve published 6 training documents at this Facebook group to get your feet wet with setting up your first ExtremeMember account. Join it, and enjoy those… my gift to you

Keepin’ it real… ExtremeMember.org fits hand in glove with my membership site business needs, and I’ve been thrilled to not only use the platform, but to know Shane Goldberg personally. I give him and EM 2 thumbs up, baby! Catch ya backstage!

Here are the videos. Appreciate your comments and feedback as always

 

 

Membership Software – ExtremeMember.org – Developer Shane Goldberg Interview – Part 2

Following up on Part 1 of this interview, Shane Goldberg of ExtremeMember.org reveals the most exciting features of each module in this 22 minute product overview interview.

When you watch this video, you’ll discover why I’m so excited about this web-based membership software. The current and future-planned features make this the most comprehensive membership software platform for the entrepreneur & small business owner, at a price point that’s truly affordable.

Shane has also planned a very irresistable product release pricing offer that’s out of this world. You’ll have to join us for next week’s LIVE video interview to discover how you can take advantage of this offer

Yes, next Monday, clear your calendar for an hour at the time below, as Shane and I "open the floor" to burning questions you have about ExtremeMember.org and its membership software inner workings. We’ll peek backstage at the user-interface, the modules and whatever else you’d like to see/ask to determine if this is a right fit for your membership business.

Mark this in your calendar: Monday, July 14th 2008 @ 3pm PT / 6pm ET / 11p UK at ShermanHu.tv

Join us on the live video broadcast, and we’ll go backstage

In the meantime, click the links below to check out Part 2 of the video interview as you get deeper insights into why this membership software is "extreme" …

Membership Software – ExtremeMember.org – Developer Shane Goldberg Interview – Part 1

Researching, selecting and integrating different software scripts to launch a membership website can be "cruel and unusual punishment". I should know.

At WordpressTutorials.com, my membership site that teaches business owners how to start and use Wordpress blogs for business, uses aMember (membership gateway), Aweber (email module), iDevAffiliate (affiliate module), 2 installs of Wordpress blogs (front end and backstage), Paypal and 2Checkout (payment gateways). It’s hairy to integrate, let alone teach it to my colleagues and members. Learn from my mistakes – don’t do what I did – save your sanity!

Furthermore, there are so many options in the marketplace, from cheap scripts (that leave you wanting more) to expensive hosted solutions (for the corporate market or business owners who have lots of money to burn).

Is there a comprehensive all-in-one option that won’t break the bank for us entrepreneurs and small business owners?

Yes there is. On July 15th, 2008, a new membership software, Extreme Member (ExtremeMember.org), developed by Australian Shane Goldberg will open its doors.

Extreme Member is a comprehensive membership software that is backed by the infamous Wordpress platform, making it a breeze for those familiar with Wordpress blogs. It sports secure & feature-rich membership site management to create unlimited membership programs, an email marketing module that rival industry-standard services, a robust affiliate management module that will make a veteran affiliate smile with glee, a sharp Web 2.0/Ajax User Interface that’s a joy to work with, and integration with major payment gateways.

Shane’s support through my beta test was exemplary and his easy-going style, along with his good-natured personality affords me an easy 2 thumbs up recommendation of ExtremeMember.org to my colleagues and friends.

Click the links below to watch this short 12 minute Part 1 interview I conducted with Shane Goldberg, as we discover why he created this membership software. In addition, you’ll understand what Shane and I have experienced in creating membership sites in the past…feel our pain!

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this interview where we dive into the features Shane has added to his membership software solution. It truly was Christmas for me all over again Plus, Shane and I will broadcast an informal interview LIVE on video next week, Monday July 14 at 3pm PT/6p ET. You’ll have an opportunity to see the inside workings of ExtremeMember.org and ask your burning questions. Add it to your calendar and come join us LIVE.
