Important announcement

Posted on by • 0 Comments

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.

Passion Pursuit

Posted on by • 0 Comments

The problem most face is that their schedules are so full that they have little room to pursue their passions. If they’re lucky, they can squeeze in a couple of hours once a week.

They convince themselves that they must work long and hard today to pursue their passions when they are older. The daily demands of work and raising a family take all their attention. Unfortunately, most never achieve their dreams.

Don’t get us wrong, you can live a good life without passion, but it won’t be your best-ever life, and that’s what we want you to achieve – living your best life.

When you find something that charges your emotions, you have a reason to get out of bed every morning. When hardship enters your life, it’s not that problematic. There is a passion that moves you through your daily routine because you are now living with purpose.

Skool Review

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Are you looking to build authority, trust, and credibility in your niche?

You are?

Excellent. Then you probably know that you need a loyal audience of people who will eagerly consume your content and buy whatever you create or promote.

But here’s the problem!

We live in an information age where people are bombarded with content, non-stop notifications, social media drivel, and a plethora of other distractions.

Building a solid community is only half-the battle… keeping them engaged and interested is the other half – and it’s the more important and difficult half.

I’ve had close to 2 decades of experience in building communities online, and I’ve recently discovered what I wish was available many years ago. There are a bunch of my associates absolutely crushing it with Skool, and I’m in the process of setting up a couple new communities there. Take a look at why (or why not).
