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 to Use JVs to Build Your List

One of the main reasons you’ll want to consider joint venturing with other marketers is that it’s a fantastic way to build your list.

There are two main ways this can happen. You can leverage the list and contacts your joint venture partner already has. You can use the projects, products, and efforts your businesses create in combination to generate new leads.

If you’ve never worked with a joint venture partner before, now’s the time to start. In fact, it’s time to get really excited. You can grow your list, earn more money, and build your business to incredible heights.

Motivating Your Clients

If I could motivate 100% of people 100% of the time, I’d probably be the richest man in the world. We all want to do something we just can’t seem to make ourselves do. We want to lose weight, we want more money, we want to learn a new language– it never seems to end.

Why would we expect our clients to be any different? It’s especially hard if the learner hasn’t really chosen to be there or isn’t sure about being there. We know how hard it can be to teach someone who doesn’t want to be there—maybe you’ve even been that person.

What’s really discouraging is trying to motivate people who’ve chosen to be there and still can’t seem to get on top of things. That’s probably the type you’ll be dealing with the most.
