Surprise! No, this isn’t Friday, but I’m sending my Friday email on
Thursday, Probably next week will be a Thursday email as well.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, or
any other, I wish you the happiest holiday season. Stay safe and
warm, spend time with your friends and family, recharge your
batteries after the hectic season that’s ending, and I look forward
to seeing you around the forum.

Here are this week’s new downloads:
How to Create Websites Using All Free Tools:
/notloggedin.php
WordPress isn’t for everything, folks. There have been threads
lately about the fact that sites that are slow to load will rank
lower now. WordPress has a ton of overhead, not to mention security
issues. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to create HTML sites,
check out this video course.
Email Demon:

There are tons of courses around teaching how to grow and form a
relationship with your list. Before spending your hard earned money
on one of them, check this one out if you need help in this regard.
10 One Time Offer Templates:

Pretty cool designs that will make building one time offers easier
and hopefully convert better.

Watch this space for next week’s year-end wrapup thoughts.

Forum threads of note:
Judy suggested an addition to the “member contributed database of
lists”, which is now active:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9617
I haven’t mentioned that member benefit lately, do you use it at
all? I guess it’s easy to overlook, but it is linked from the top
of every forum page.
The database was set up so that we could all contribute to building
resource lists that will be useful to all. The newest list is
Freelance Sites, since outsourcing is becoming very essential for
busy IM’ers that want to do more in less time. There are already a
good number of links in that section.
And remember, if you can think of a list that would be useful, that
isn’t in the database yet, let me know and I’ll consider setting it
up. Once set up, entries can be posted by anyone that’s a member.

Bonuses or not?
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9614
Luke asks about whether it’s typical to pay a bonus for quality
work. Some say yes, some say no, what do you think?
##########
Steve’s got a suggestion for making your site faster with one click:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9639
Though I found that the option wasn’t available on my cpanel. He’s
telling me we need to upgrade our server to be able to take
advantage of this, and we might do that. It will possibly require a
short outage of the site, and I’ll probably announce it in the
forum and not by email, if we schedule it in advance.

It seems like every week brings a new tool from Jon Leger. Here’s
one for Twitter fans:

Aweber was attacked this week and email addresses in their database
were spammed:

Along the lines of the myth that “if you build it, they will come”
is the thought by Jeannie that good content often isn’t as
important as backlinks:

Here’s 3 new ways to monetize your site that you might not have
heard of before:

Judy and others have links to SitePoint holiday specials on
information that you might find useful:

There seems to be some buzz in the forum about Nanoblogger:

WordPress 2.9 is live, did you upgrade yet?
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9620
##########
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more response to this thread:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9638
Colin is a new member and was wondering if Campaign Blasting is
still relevant. I know what I think, but was hoping others would
chime in to give their thoughts.

Tim’s offering a gift in exchange for filling out a survey for him:
http://www.earn1kaday.net/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9642
##########
And Steve’s offering a link on a PR6 site if you qualify (female
only):

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights, there is much
more going on all the time at the forum. Don’t be a stranger
there, that’s where the primary value of your membership is, after
all. We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a lounge
there if you want to unwind), we’re there to learn from each other,
and share with each other, and as you can see from the above sample
threads, there’s a lot of that happening.

Until next week, I wish you the very best in everything.
