Important announcement

I hope you’re having a great day, and thank you for being a member of The IM Inside Track.

I started this site in July 2015, and see that there have been 856 posts made to the blog, which are, other than an introductory one way back then, either long informative articles on the core subjects of Internet marketing, or a bonus download for members. Most of the articles also have audio versions available.

The site has been a labor of love over the years, and I seem to recall that I originally promised there would be 3 to 5 articles posted each week.

For a while, I posted 6 or 7 times per week, so with 856, the average has been over 285 per year, or 5.5 per week.

But enough about statistics.

This site hasn’t been about profitability. In fact, most months it has failed in that regard.

At the peak, we had over 1100 active members. Now we are down to just over 400. A large part of the reason is that I haven’t actively marketed IMIT in recent years.

Many of the members joined in the beginning with annual subscriptions, in mid to late July 2015, and those subscriptions are due to renew soon.

The membership charge in the beginning was just $1.99 per month, which has risen a few times over the years, but just for new enrollees.

So I want to make a major announcement before renewals are charged.

In order to focus on other parts of my business going forward, I will be slowing down on the posting of new articles to the site.

I will continue to post the bonuses on Saturdays, like I have for quite a while.

And I will post other articles as they are written or extracted from content I’ve licensed.

It will just not be as frequent as in years past.

This new schedule will begin next week.

If you feel you are not receiving enough value from IMIT, or are unable to fully utilize the content inside, now would be a good time to terminate your membership, especially if you have an annual payment coming due later this month.
Most payments were through PayPal, so you can terminate your membership inside your account easily.

If you paid directly with a credit card, you might need to ask me to do the termination manually.

If you remain a member, I do still promise to deliver value that I think is above and beyond whatever price you’re paying.

The 856 (and growing) articles are still available, categorized neatly. I doubt if any member has accessed them all.

Even if you have, refreshing your memory from time to time can be beneficial.

And I can’t promise this, but I’m sure there will be surprises in store for active members going forward, including compilations of the existing articles by category, making it easier to download and read.

This decision has been on my mind for a considerable time, and I hated to take this step, but I feel it is only fair to be open and transparent, especially since the annual payments will be charged very soon.

Let me know if you have any questions, and again, thank you for being a member of The IM Inside Track.

Of course, the free Facebook group is still active and available to all, here:

Have a spectacular day.

How Creating Habits Can Help You Succeed

Do our habits make us who we are and determine whether we’re successful, healthy, and happy? Perhaps that’s partially true—maybe even mostly true. But it does not mean you’re forever doomed to live the life you’re currently living. You are not a victim of your habits and you can control them.

It is absolutely possible to change your habits for the better so you can be happier, healthier, and more successful.

But, the reality of habit change is that it’s usually hard work—especially if you don’t have time-tested strategies at your disposal. If it were generally easy to change one’s habits, the billions of dollars that get poured into the self-help market wouldn’t be necessary. Everyone would live blissful lives with perfect habits that they could change and adjust on a whim. Everyone would end up doing exactly what they need and want to do. Sounds great, right?

We all know that it just doesn’t work that way—habit change is tough. We all know that we fall short in some very important ways even if we’ve tried to change a million and one times before. If it were easy to change our habits, our lives would be so much easier, better, and happier.

Clear the Clutter (in your head and elsewhere)

It’s next to impossible to do the things you need and want to do in your business if your mind and environment are cluttered. Humans can only handle so much at once. It’s distracting to have a cluttered environment. And it’s truly a poor environment for productivity if your mind is cluttered.

It’s time to make some big changes.

This might not be something you ever thought about before. After all, your focus is on your business. But time and time again, you don’t feel anywhere near as productive as you want to be. What’s the problem?
