From need comes desire

When I first bought the internet marketing graphics pack from Max, I was originally going to use it just for little ol’ me but after using it again and again on many of my blogs and getting so bloomin tired of waiting for the wordpress media gallery to load I figured I should write a simple plugin to quickly add whatever graphic I wanted. >>>Plugin Here

From desire comes action

As with anything to do with code that I do, it started of as a simple task and quickly evolved in to an exercise of ‘what if’

I didn’t like the way the current shortcodes button and window worked and I have done a lot with jquery ui dialogs in the past so I figured I would see if I could replace the tinymce way of doing things with my own version.

Oh.. the pain and trauma that little idea caused! according to some, it was not possible to do.

From Action comes Results

But, in the immortal words of captain Jean-Luc Picard, “Things are only impossible until they are not!”

I wasn’t going to let a little thing like “nobody did it before” stop me and so I turned on beast mode and attacked it and then turned on the geek and wooted the hella out of it until it did my bidding and finally, it was done!

Feedback had my back

Thanks to some wonderful beta tester feedback I was able to improve the plugin even more and make it ready for sale. Half way through the week, more feedback meant it got even better! and finally, it is at a place I’m comfortable charging a premium price for.

Launch mode on

I offered it up at a discounted price for just 7 days and it sold! a ton of people bought it and all that lost hair was worth it and now, as I look back on the past 7 days I can only say, “what a lot of fun coding premium plugins is!”

What next?

I have a massive list of new plugins that I want to write. Stuff that I know will be useful, I know that because either I have been using them for my own things for ages but just never got around to releasing them or people have asked me why there isn’t a plugin to do ‘x’ yet and I know I can make just the thing.

The only downside..

Just about the only thing I don’t enjoy is the writing of copy. For emails or for sales pages, that is such a painful thing for me to contemplate! I can get it done but it takes far longer than it should.

I write the title… then go switch on the kettle to make coffee and then dance around it a bit hiding from the keyboard.. then I make the coffee (slowly).. then sit down and contemplate…sip the coffee..think about what to write and then.. oh wait, no more coffee.. time to make some more… (rinse and repeat)

oh I really wish I could talk to people in PHP . That way it’d be done in 2 minutes flat! (and I could write an algorithm to automate the process!)

Sending emails to folks is just fine when I’m replying to something that someone sent me but, it all changes when I’m writing emails to send to my list. I do hope you all understand what I’m saying and I hope that I didn’t litter your inbox too much!

I don’t want to just send any old crap though so all that pain is worth going through if it means I can get you a bargain or pass on some cool stuff that I have just made.

Speak to me!

Let me know in the comments if you have an easier way to write emails or if I’m alone in my pain and it’s really not that hard to write them. Also, let me know what you think of my emails, too many? too much? ok? indifferent.. it’s all good, talk to me and let me know what you think

Internet Marketing Graphics Plugin

I made another plugin! The Internet Marketing Graphics Plugin was made when I needed a quick and simple way to add graphics that I use again and again, over multiple posts and sites easily.

Things like ;

• Attention Phrases
• Arrows <– wonderful to use for tutorials
• Footers
• Headers
• Bonus Signs <– awesome bonuses deserve awesome bonus signs
• Call to action buttons
• Check marks  <– great for bullet lists
• Dollar value signs
• Guarantee signs <– use these all the time!
• Numbers <– another bullet list must have
• Price tags
• Stickers

Aren’t they wonderful?

I use them a LOT and I bet that when you get the plugin, you will too.

Head on over to the Internet Marketing Graphics Plugin site and grab it today before the sale ends.. (psst, I have some other cool things that you will get later in the week if you get the plugin today..)

Let the testing commence!

The beta testers have now been selected for the IM Graphics Plugin and testing has commenced so thanks to the literally hundreds of people that applied to become testers. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t choose more of you!

Early bird discount available

I always like to give people something special when I’m going to release a new premium plugin (all 1 of them so far haha) so I am going to give a big, hefty discount to those that have already applied and for any more that add themselves to the early bird list before the plugin goes live.

Don’t beg!

I am still getting people begging me to give them the discounted price for CommentLuv Premium on the last early bird promotion and I keep having to say no so make sure you add yourself to the list today and make sure you watch out for my email! I don’t want to keep feeling like a grumpy old so-and-so and refusing discounts to people because they got in too late!

Get on the early bird list!

Just head on over to the IM Graphics Plugin site and add your details to the form there and you’ll get straight on the early bird list and then watch out for my email. There ‘ll be a very limited window of opportunity to get the plugin at the discount before it goes live so get on over there now before it’s too late!

Help me and get a FREE lifetime pass to the IM Graphics Plugin which is a new plugin that I have made to make adding internet marketing graphics in to my WordPress posts and pages as easy as pie!

Apply to be a beta tester

You can apply to be a beta tester for the Internet Marketing Graphics Plugin by visiting the IM Graphics Plugin home page and filling out the form. A few lucky people that I select will get the plugin and pack for free and will be eligible to receive lifetime updates for free.

Apply to be an affiliate and earn!

The IM Graphics Plugin is part of the Tools To Make Money suite of plugins and every single one of those plugins can earn you commission if someone you refer buys one (or all) of them.

I have set up a 2 tier affiliate system that also needs a good bit of feedback so I know for sure that it works.

2 tiers means that you can get paid when someone that you referred makes a sale so if you’re not one for making sales but you know someone who is then you just need to get them to signup using your link and you’ll get paid every single time that they refer a new sale

New Anti (human) spam features of CommentLuv Premium

The advanced anti-spambot features of CommentLuv Premium have done a great job of dramatically reducing the amount of automatically generated bot spam on many premium users blogs and now the same dramatic effects can be made with human generated spam with some of the new features that have just been added to CommentLuv Premium

User warnings

This is the brand new feature available to CommentLuv Premium users. Instead of sending the comments to spam where you’ve got to go through them anyway you can set the plugin to warn users why their comment would not be accepted and give them a chance to go back and fix it.

This means that the comment doesn’t even get entered in to your database unless it passes the rules that you set in the settings. You can even specify what message gets displayed.

Maximum URLs in the comment

I’m sure you’ve seen those comments in your moderation queue with a bazillion URLs to all sorts of questionable sites. With this new feature you can set a maximum number and any comment with more will (depending on what you have set the plugin to do) get sent to spam, moderation or denied completely.

Maximum words in the name

Prevent Mr. buy my crap and stuff from leaving comments by restricting the amount of words that someone can enter as their name

Minimum words in the comment

Fed up with ‘nice post thanks!” and other waste of time comments? Now you can set the minimum amount of words that a comment needs to have before it will be accepted.

Minimum amount of seconds before commenting

This is one of the most effective ways of combating the human generated spam caused by users of tools like scrapebox that automatically load a comment form into the application and pre fill all the fields so the user only has to click the submit button.

By specifying that a user has to be on the page at least 10 seconds before they can submit their comment then you can be sure that someone using an automated tool would much rather spam someone else than wait the required 10 seconds to submit another comment on your site.

Genuine users, even really fast typists who are responding to a few comments on the same page will take at least 10 seconds to read the comment and type their response.

Extra viral goodies

Another new feature that will help your posts to go viral is to show when previous commenters click on the social enticement buttons when they commented.

When a new commenter sees that other people have used the +1, like or tweet buttons to get a dofollow link then they are much more likely to use the buttons on their comment.

You get to see in the admin page too

It keeps getting better!

With a CommentLuv Premium license, you get all of these features and you get to have all the new up and coming features for FREE FOR LIFE because a premium customer gets support and updates forever. For just one payment!

Worth the wait

It’s been a couple of weeks since I put up a Tasty Tuesday freebie because I was so busy with the launch and also I wanted to do more than just give away stuff that I’ve bought the rights to. (although I’m sure you’d think that was ok to get paid stuff for free!)
