Sure thing – I will be doing that from now on… mainly adding something like “affiliate link” below the link or mentioning it somewhere else.

Thanks for the reminder!

Gideon

Would you please be extra vigilant about telling us when you review or recommend a product with an accompanying link that you are an AFFILIATE of the product?

Thanks for being completely transparent and willing to be in complete integrity with your loyal readers!

Some comments…

About setting up more than one WordPress installation on just one hosting account, it’s actually really easy if you use the 5 minute install process and install it into a newly created folder, for example at http://www.yourblog.com/newblog.

About Aweber…

Yeah that’s a tough one. I know what you feel like. For my first year online I was subscribed to Aweber and I did not make much money. It was pretty tough going, but everyone told me that building a list using a good service like Aweber was essential for online success.

I decided to bite the bullet, and I am now really glad that I did. I would not be able to run my online business if it was not for something like Aweber.

I have not tested feebburner’s mail option with Squeeze Theme, but you should be able to get that information from the boys at http://www.UniqueBlogDesigns.com.

And yes, I think they must be using an affiliate link for Aweber (haven’t checked though). But they would be silly not to use an affiliate link.

Aweber is a great service, even though it costs money. But I think if you are serious about making money online, it’s important to invest in some essential tools. And something like Aweber would be one of them.

I think if you only have 500 or less people on your list, Aweber is only about $20 per month. So, that’s less than a dollar a day.

All the best!

Gideon – my concern is with AWeber – they charge money – a monthly fee most of us can’t afford when starting out – ditto to Leo’s comments. Praying that we make some money before spending money many of us should be hesitant about committing so much to a theme when there are cheaper one out there, free even, where we can do a similar thing at this.

If this theme needs you to pay for AWeber monthly access fee to their email/newsletter optin service – then you have to add that cost to the cost of this theme and if you don’t spend that money then the theme is no better than others.

You can get an email subscription service through Feedburner – can you insert that code into the form code field? You can then manually maintain an email list by exporting it to a spreadsheet and using it manually or adding it to a service with Aweber etc. that you eventually pay for.

Can you use Mailchimp or someone else cheaper than AWeber?

Are the guys at Unique Blog Design getting affiliate commissions for signing people up with AWeber? It all seems like a bit of pushy marketing for those that realise they need a service and they’d better go with the one that is recommended i.e. Aweber.

Many thanks for your reply appreciated.

Thank you for the well thought out response.

If I could give you one piece of advice that has made a HUGE difference in the success of my online ventures, it’s that of being able to focus on only ONE thing at a time, until it’s finished.

This goes for both daily tasks to also more longer term projects.

I created a video for you that talk about this in some more detail here:
