If I had a nickel for every person that wanted to build their own blog, well… I’d have a LOT of nickels!

The problem is that most people get stuck at the “building” part.

They pay massive fees to have custom blog sites created. Or they spend a lot of money on incredibly complicated “site building” software… some even as high as $297/month!

And they end up more frustrated than ever.

That’s why I have been hard at work on a solution that is affordable and practical.

What I’ve created will help you overcome the obstacles that have been standing in your way.

You may be familiar with Wordpress. As the world’s leading blogging platform, Wordpress is the go-to solution for many successful bloggers and business owners. WordPress offers a number of standard “themes” and plugins that anyone can use in the design of their website.

And while WordPress is easy to use, sometimes people get overwhelmed with the technical aspects of setting up a new media optimized WordPress blog.

That’s why I am so excited to announce the EZ Build A Blog Course!

Get blogging!

Earlier this month, I received an e-mail from Jimmy D. Brown where he introduced the custom one-of-a-kind theme he uses for his blog.  It was designed and coded for his exclusive use by a first-rate graphics guy.  He charges $499 per project!

Whenever someone stumbles across his site, they often wonder “which theme did he use?” looking at the features with envy and wishing they could get one just like it.  Most people can’t afford $499 for a custom theme.  I can’t even afford $499 for a custom theme.

But when I heard that Jimmy D. Brown hired his graphics guy to create a theme that is very similar to his own that he could sell to the general public at a very small and affordable price…

I knew I had to get my hands on it.

The result was a wonderful theme entitled…

Multiple Streams Theme

And I’ve gotta admit: I’m impressed! The multiple streams theme has ten built-in ways to make money just by using the theme at your own blog.  And it was super easy to install and configure.

You can read all about it at… http://ideborah.com/blog/multiplestreamstheme/

IN FACT, if you’re a blogger, I’d highly recommend you buy a copy of the theme right now before you forget.

What do you think?

• Do you like the look of the theme installed at http://ideborah.com?
• Do you think it will significantly increase passive income streams?
• Have you seen any comparable themes?

Share your thoughts below.

Last week I hosted a webinar on the new FTC Endorsement Guidelines coming into effect December 1st, 2009.  The replay is now available.  The webinar was presented by JP Micek, founder of iQuanSite.com.  JP is not a lawyer, nor does the information provided constitute legal advice.  Should you have any questions regarding the specific legal ramifications of the new guidelines as they pertain to your business, please consult a lawyer specializing in Internet Law.

Part I: Understanding the FTC Endorsement Guidelines

Part II: Q&A on the New FTC Endorsement Guidelines

In addition to watching the webinar, I suggest that you review the guidelines yourself to be sure that you understand the new regulations. Download the new FTC Endorsement Guide here

There has been a lot of hype and hysteria in the past two weeks regarding the new FTC guidelines that go into effect on December 1, 2009. But how does the new FTC guidelines affect you and your business and, more importantly, how do you sift your way through all the hype and hysteria surrounding the new guidelines.  That’s why I’d like to invite you to a webinar on the new FTC Guidelines:

With the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) new guidelines going into effect on December 1, 2009, scam artists, Internet gurus and even some attorneys are trying to sell bloggers, affiliate marketers and website owners like you products and services that can actually get you into more trouble with the FTC.

Whether these people are honestly trying to help, or knowingly are misleading you and millions of others in the hope of short-term profits — it doesn’t really matter.  The facts of the FTC guidelines are what matter.

Before you plunk down one single dollar on any product or service that’s promising you protection against the new FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials you need to attend this FR3E webinar
on Thursday, November 19th.

PLAN to join us LIVE!
THURSDAY, November 19th ~ 7:00pm EDT / 4 PM PDT (US)

A new Twitter application has launched today and it will change the Twittersphere.  It’s a game changer unlike any I’ve ever seen before.

Downloaded this HOT NEW Free Twitter Desktop App NOW!:

One of the biggest complaints about Twitter is that people who try to monetize their stream can easily become Twitter spammers.  You want to get the word about a product or event and that’s fine.  But some tweeters take it too far and stop engaging and connecting with their followers. With this app, you’ll be able to still monetize your twitter stream but you’ll be actively engaged in adding value to the twittersphere – monetizing your stream will be secondary to your primary goal of engaging with your followers.

What makes this app stand above the crowd is that it will help you get FREE traffic.  It has a similar user interface to popular Twitter apps such as Twirl and Tweet Deck, where you have different panels for the Twitter Stream, your @ replies, and your direct messages.

It’s super easy to use and benefit from. All you have to do is download it for free and maintain the same Twitter activity you were before you heard about this.  It’s credit based and all you have to do is post, like you normally do, and you will earn ad credits which will convert to your ad being displayed in the stream.

Go download it now and start getting more traffic today:

Turn your blog’s best content into an e-mail newsletter.  If you’re one of the many smart bloggers who also build their email lists and deliver a blog newsletter, I bet you put a lot of effort into creating high-quality content.  But it can be challenging to create fresh content for your blog and then additional content for your eZine or newsletter.  And to be honest, sometimes it’s hard to find the time to keep up with regular blogging & newsletter publishing. 

With aWeber, you don’t need to choose between creating blog posts or publishing a jam-packed e-mail newsletter.  aWeber allows you to broadcast your blog content directly to your subscribers, without having to recreate or even reformat your blog content for eZine publication.  With aWeber’s blog brodcast feature, you choose how many posts you want sent per issue and the frequency with which you want your e-mail newsletter broadcast.  And you can even have your Twitter status updated with the broadcast!

If you don’t need extensive eCommerce capabilities, aWeber is the right product for you.  aWeber allows you to broadcast your newsletter, capture visitor sign ups, and send unlimited follow ups, autoresponders and newsletters.

Compare the features of aWeber to other autoresponder services.
