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.

The RISER Method: Repurposing Content with AI

The advice to “repurpose content” sounds like a cheat code. It gets tossed around like some obvious truth that everyone should just be doing by default. But when you actually sit down to do it, it’s not so simple.

What are you repurposing into? How do you adapt it without sounding repetitive? What if you post a new version and it flops? What if you don’t even remember which posts performed well? What if you don’t have the time to find out?

Want to answer all those questions and more? Look inside…

Five Surefire Ways to Become a Better Coach

Do you offer coaching services? If not, you should seriously consider it. Because not only does coaching provide a much-needed service to your market, it’s also an excellent high-ticket offer to add to your sales funnel.

But heads up: if you want to really help your clients and get repeat business, you need to be a darn good coach. These five tips will help you improve…

  1. Offer Custom Advice

Some coaches create a set of materials they give to everyone, which saves them a lot of time in answering emails. That’s a nice bonus. But the advantage of receiving coaching is that your clients get PERSONALIZED advice. So throw away your “cookie cutter” answers and create answers that are tailor made to your individual clients.

TIP: One of the most important keys to offering great advice is to LISTEN, really listen to your clients. Don’t make assumptions about what your clients want and need. You may want to have the fill out pre-coaching questionnaires so that you can better understand what each of your clients wants to get out of their sessions with you.
