WP Networks + Plugin

WPapprentice — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:38:58 +0000

Network: an interconnected or interrelated chain, group, or system. Anytime you can network anything together, it’s a good thing, especially when it has a lot of flexibility. This is exactly what this Plugin is…. convenient and flexible as there are many combinations and permutations of URL schemes you can come up with.

How about this….have you ever wanted the ability to assign a child site to a child site? Now you can using Networks +. This plugin provides the interface to set up another network within the install you already have. You may choose to run this additional network off a different domain entirely or a subdomain – it’s very flexible.

The networks will continue to share plugins and themes. So, you can have mydomain.com with user blogs/sites, and also myotherdomain.com with user blogs/sites, all living within one installation.

An example:

“One client we had wanted city.state.clientdomain.com,
where the city sites were visible blogs, and the state sites
were also visible. This provides three levels (domain,
subdomain and subsubdomain) of blogs/sites in the entire
network. Each state was created as a new network.”

Slideshow Plugin

I am a very visual person and when I flip through a magazine or look at a website, I tend to pay much more attention to areas or pages with images. If a picture gets my attention, I may read more about it. If there is no image I tend to pass it by as if it never existed. This is how my brain is wired and it seems to not to want to change.

Having said that, you can see how very important it is to have a sleek way to show off photos on your site, especially a series of photos using a slideshow! If not…people (like me) may pass by as if your site never existed. So why not try to get the attention of as many people as possible?

WPapprentice — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:17:13 +0000

Selling eBooks is a wonderful thing because there is no overhead, no need for retail space, no shipping, no wasted paper, and no storage warehouse needed.

(…and here comes the “but…” )

But….are you worried that just one of your customers may decide to upload your eBook to a file sharing site resulting in a loss of sales for you? (gasp!) It only takes one person to do this. Do you have anything in place to discourage sharing?

What if you could automatically stamp the footer of your PDF eBooks with the customer’s personal details (e.g. name, email, address) upon purchase to discourage sharing? If they still decide to upload, well….karma is a bitch and this customer’s address will be known to all. Awesome, right? I thought so.

Here’s a summary…

The WP PDF Stamper plugin allows you to dynamically stamp a PDF file with the customer’s details (e.g. name, email, address etc.) upon purchase. If you are wondering why it is important to stamp the PDF eBook before giving it to your customer then this page is for you.

WordPress eMember – Easy to Use WordPress Membership Plugin

WPapprentice — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:06:34 +0000

Making money through your blog/site is an attractive idea to us all but there is more than one way to “skin a cat.” Many people go the route of selling their products or services which means they are always trying to sell to the same visitors. Different days, different products, different services, and repeat.

Another way is through memberships. If you turn your blog/site into a membership site, you only have to sell once! That’s right, only one sale per visitor. The best part is ….wait …….wait for it …….they will pay a membership fee over and over again rather than a one-time fee for services.

WordPress eMember is a WordPress Membership Plugin that can turn your existing or new WordPress site into a membership site easily. You can selectively protect articles by creating various membership levels (eg. Free, Basic, Premium, Ultimate) and protect the content (posts, pages etc) of your site. The plugin manages all the membership management side of things.

Plugin Features:

Easy Installation
Content Protection
Ease of Design and Usage
Easy PayPal Integration
Autoresponder Integration
WordPress Affiliate Software Integration
WP eStore Integration
Detailed Documentation
Great Support
