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.

Eliminate Procrastination

Are you a procrastinator? That’s not an attribute many of us want to have. In fact, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who takes pride in being a procrastinator.

Yet, this is a problem that probably most people deal with at least to some degree. It’s human nature to want to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Unfortunately, many of the tasks associated with your business are considered painful, whether you’re conscious of that or not.

For some people, this isn’t such a huge deal. Maybe they’ll procrastinate a little bit here or a little bit there, but overall it doesn’t affect their business too much.

Trust Yourself Again

In today’s uncertain world, many people struggle with chronic self-doubt, paralysis when making decisions, and an inability to trust their own judgment despite their genuine desire to move forward with confidence.

They know that second-guessing themselves constantly is holding them back, but they don’t have a clear framework for understanding what broke their self-trust and rebuilding it without ignoring legitimate lessons or rushing into false confidence.

The good news? Rebuilding self-trust isn’t just about “thinking positive” or “being brave”… it’s a powerful process of inner reconnection and authentic confidence-building.

Begin Building Your Brand From the Start

You have to start building your brand from the very start of your business (but that doesn’t mean it’s too late if you haven’t already).

Building your brand is continual. You’re going to build your brand with your blog, graphics, networking, and everything else you do online. You need to have a solid plan from the start so you can succeed in branding yourself and building a real business.

It really helps to have a plan from day one – that’s today for you. You’ll be a lot more likely to be successful if you do this. Don’t do things backwards– I’m going to walk you through what it takes.
