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.

Personalized Wellness: Health Planning with AI

Your health is as unique as you are, yet personalized wellness often feels out of reach. Tailored plans for nutrition, fitness, and emotional well-being usually come at a high cost or are limited to those in urban centers with access to premium resources.

For many people, particularly those in underserved areas or with financial limitations, these barriers make it seem impossible to achieve the benefits of personalized care. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that transforms how you can approach your health.

Offering Individual One-on-One Coaching

There are a variety of formats you can use for coaching. For example, you can coach people individually or in groups. If you’re not sure which version to choose, one-on-one coaching is usually preferred and ideal for a number of reasons. It just might be the perfect way to ease your way into coaching and become the type of coach who really delivers for your clients in an incredibly personalized way.

One-on-one coaching allows you to work very closely with one person at a time. You can really get to the heart of what they need and want so you can be as effective for them as possible. You’re involved in coaching because you really want to deeply impact the lives and success of your clients. This type of coaching might be the easiest way to do that. That’s not to say that group coaching doesn’t have value, because it absolutely does.

The Many Perspectives of Finding Your Purpose

The topic of people finding their purpose is one that’s often brought up in motivational speeches and self-help books. And while there are many great tips for people to seek out more meaning in their career and personal lives, they may be going about it all wrong.

Maybe you’ve been living your life as planned, when all of a sudden, you just know in your gut that there’s more to life than what you’ve been doing. You feel like the life you’re living isn’t the one you want.

If you’ve thought about it and realized something is missing, then it’s possible that you haven’t yet found your purpose – or at least, not the way it was meant to be applied by you.

Overcoming Negative Conditioning

It’s sort of crazy to think about. You’re trying really hard in your business but you aren’t seeing the results you want to see. You find yourself falling back into old patterns over and over again. You wonder what’s wrong with you. Are you destined to repeat the same cycles for all of eternity? Can you ever truly find success?

The fact is that we as humans are prone to conditioning. If something happened a certain way in the past or we had a certain feeling, reaction, or habit in the past, then our nature is to let it happen again, whether we are aware of it or not. The things that happened in childhood, for example, can affect the way you think and react to your life and your success today.

Monetizing AI Friendship

AI friendship isn’t a trend – it’s a digital movement reshaping how people find connection, belong, and share their days. More than therapy or romance, it’s about everyday companionship that mirrors real-life friendships but without the friction, drama, or logistics.

We’re seeing a widespread cultural shift toward 24/7 interaction, casual conversation, and affectionate banter with a technology that doesn’t judge, ghost, or flake. For online marketers ready to embrace this shift early and from a consumer-first perspective, AI friendship represents a blue-ocean opportunity unlike anything before.

In a world where loneliness is outpacing global health concerns, the rise of AI friends signals a response to a quiet epidemic. Harvard Business Review recently pointed out that companionship is one of the fastest-growing use cases for AI.
