    Well, Hello 2025.

    Well hello there! And Happy New Year to you! 🎉 For the first week in the entire year of 2024, I took last week off from producing this newsletter. I was still in “holiday mode”… and heading to my Dad’s place to spend time with family for New Years. Took the RV up there, too….

    2024 Year In Review

    Crazy that Christmas is this week. This week will be a lot of time spent with family…. exactly as it should be. I want to wish all of my clients and subscribers a Merry Christmas. 🎄 I hope you enjoy the day… and perhaps even get a little bit of down time. For clients, obviously…

    When Selling Feels Too Hard

    Crazy that Christmas is literally next week. This month feels like clinging to the side of a moving car that won’t stop! 🤪 Anyway, in this week’s issue of the newsletter, mixing it up a bit by not talking about WordPress the whole time. We’re going to talk about making sales with our sites. First…

    Why You NEED Stats

    This week is getting off to a busy start… and you may have noticed this week’s newsletter is a little bit later than normal. 😇 Two client calls just this morning, a site migration, and helping a client recover lost access to his stuff that he had misplaced.

    Well, Black Friday madness now evolves into “Cyber Monday”. And then, of course, you’ll have a bunch of these offers magically extended to last all week. Or longer. 😜 Anyway, I ended up picking up a couple of deals last week myself. Both to serve as new additions to the Concierge Toolkit. I’ll tell you…

    Black Friday Hoopla

What is this insanity?! 🤪 Anyway, this is Thanksgiving WEEK in the U.S. So, work schedules may be funny this week. And, of course, that means we’re all being slammed…

    FluentCommunity – And Goodbye RankMath

    Busy week ahead! So, we’re going to be diving right in here… As this issue is being sent to you, FluentCommunity is now launching. I am seeing this plugin has an alternative to BuddyBoss and, while we’re still early, I think it definitely will be. As they always do, they’re launching this plugin with special…

    Alternative To BuddyBoss?

    Well, hello there! Busy weekend, which means I didn’t get a head start on the newsletter and wrote this whole bad-boy this morning. So, just a bit later than usual. 😇 Today, I want to take a quick look at FluentCommunity as a potential alternative for BuddyBoss. A full review of this one is forthcoming….

    CommandUI Launch, Membership Site Shortcut

    Happy Monday morning! And I guess I should say… happy election eve? 🤣 Yeah, let’s be real…. tomorrow is a day a whole lot of people are paying close attention to. This US election has been a real doozie. All I know is that I hope it’ll all end soon and that the political division…

    Why WooCommerce?

    Happy Monday morning! Ready to start a new and productive week? Lots of noise out there, especially with the US election coming up soon. But, all I can say is… Stay focused on what you control. And stay focused on growth. The rest of it is noise. It might be important, but in the end,…
