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.

Improve Your Concentration

You know the drill. You sit down at your desk and try to focus on work tasks that have been piling up. Or maybe you are attempting to read the book that has been on your side table for months.

Using Lead Magnets Effectively

What Is A Lead Magnet?

Email marketing is one of the most important topics there is when it comes to running a profitable business. It doesn’t matter which line of business you’re in or what your specific goals are for business, you have to have a great and responsive email list.

Out-Earn Competitors Who Suffer from AI Brain Rot

The online marketplace has never been more crowded – or more equal. For a while, AI (artificial intelligence) gave early adopters a massive edge. They could create faster, publish more often, and scale without breaking a sweat.

But now that advantage has flatlined. Everyone’s using the same tools, pulling from the same templates and prompt packs, churning out the same types of products. The energy that once made AI-driven content feel fresh has curdled into something dull, predictable, and easy to tune o

The real opportunity now isn’t to outproduce everyone else. It’s to outthink them. You’ll still use AI. You’ll just use it better. More strategically. More selectively. While everyone else leans harder on tools to make decisions for them, you’ll stay sharp. You’ll stay original. And when your competitors start sounding like clones, you’ll be the one voice that still cuts through.

This isn’t about giving up AI. It’s about refusing to give up your advantage. The ones who keep their minds in the game while others let theirs go soft will be the ones out-earning everyone else.

Mindset of a Coach

It’s crucial to switch from the mindset of a “coachee” to that of a coach… and then take that even further. Having the mindset of a leader, of a coach, is extremely important. If you don’t believe you can be successful as a coach, if you don’t believe you’re a true leader, you won’t be.

There are certain beliefs that set very successful people apart from those who aren’t as successful. This is true for business in general and it’s true for the coaching business.
