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!

Wow! I am very impressed!

You actually took action! That means you’re already more than 50% there

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

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.
Its a lot of fun , trying different methods to bring in income from the web while providing others with things to read and do, thanks for your Video also , i will share it with others as well.

Have a great week, and guess what ! its freezing again tonight, every one has pullovers on here at Auckland , spring has come and gone !
Cheers Theo.

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:

Have you checked out the 31 Day Challenge with Ed Dale yet? It’s brilliant if you’re just getting started online – and of course it’s totally free!

Talk soon!

Not a problem at all. I am very new to blogging and I believe it’s a great way to share information and useful content.

The more you know the better. The more you do with what you know, even better!

You may have to install a separate WordPress installation if you want to preserve your existing theme. Something you could do is to install a new blog at http://www.yourblogdomain.com/other where other is a folder where you can install a new WordPress blog and then use the Squeeze theme on it. That way you will still kinda keep your original domain name and your original theme, and you’ll also be able to generate squeeze pages using the Squeeze Theme inside the “other” folder.

I see a lot of promotion of late from your news etc, on all manner
of tools to use that can help us all grow , or build income and lists
of people to help us gow income online.

This is great info, for every one to learn from, now my question is
aimed at people like my self and other beginners, who are trying to
just make some xtra to get things done.

I make a reasonable salary of 62,000 , sounds good, but after 35% tax
its not so good, my wife also works 5 days as i do, and makes a smaller
amount, this combined, only just covers the average house hold bills
and sometimes it does not , depends on which month things happen, and
with 2 children, you do have your hands in your pockets every day looking
to squeeze out every cent you can find. I have now come to the conclusion
that you now have to find extra income from the web, that is the only
option, left , unless you want to work crazy hours, have no time, no family
and no life, and pay more tax swapping more hours for $, a complete waste
of time, as that is not the answer.
And of course there are always the extras needed !, new car tyres, a visit
to the dentist, school donations ! or projects, doctor visits the list
goes on, where does it come from, some have to go on the waiting list.

I have managed over the past few years from my small effort to earn
enough to pay for my hosting & domain at godaddy cost $ 57 USA, pay for my
nortons antivirus approx $70 NZ pay for a subscription to Success Magazine
approx $40 US and pay for backup software smart sync pro & system mechanic
to keep 6 year old PC in good order. Its not a lot of income from the web
but it was hard work to get it, thru a couple of affiliate programs, i
promote, and i have tried all sort to, bring in something extra.

It would be great to get squeeze themes, or an aweber account to catch
subscribers, but the $ are not there to pay for these services at the moment.

I am trying to get my income the best way i can, if it does not come in
i can’t, buy the tools i need to use online, simple as that.

You guys have been online for a while now, where did you start ?
and where do beginners make a start, i can imagine a lot of your
readers, and subscribers are beginners, many will be long time income
earners online, most of us i can imagine are not and only too keen
to learn how , and a lot more with no spare income to get going, how
do they make a start , to earn some extra to get going ?

I am impressed with what you both have produced so far in helping
us all online, but we need some bare bones very basic beginner stuff
to help those just starting trying to escape the 9-5 or 6 or 9pm even.

I have worked for over 30 years now, i started as a draughtsman, up thru
design and cad for to many architects and design companies, including
contract work, for more hours than i care to share.

Its been an interesting fun & stressfull ride, all at the same time,
but now i an trying to find a way out !, and leaving this industry is
not an easy task, its hard to escape.

How does the old saying go ! don’t leave your day job till !!!!

I am glad i found you guys , and the very usefull websites and videos
you have given us all, it all much apreciated information, and has
helped me at least make a start on my blog.

I like to promote good quality products and services, and have stuck to
this, idea, doing my best to stay away from those websites that have tried
to get you involved with useless ebooks, and junk, you know the type all
long winded pages full of photos of people and lots of talk & hype.
these are to be avoided, as a waste of your hard earned cash.

We will start using more services as we earn, online, but mean time it
has to be done the hard way, earn as you learn.

mmm Now i have to visit the dentist ! and need new car tyres, where is
that going to come from ??? put my thinking cap on…..

Thanks for your valuable time.

Theo ) make it a great week…………..

Here are some answers:

1. As far as I can tell, you can create as many squeeze pages as you want with the one installation. What I’m not sure of, is whether you could brand each new squeeze page separately. But it may not be important to brand each new squeeze page separately in any case. Something you could do, is to just create a “vanilla” looking blog using the Squeeze Theme, and then customize each squeeze page with the text and video and images you use as part of it.

2. Yes, you can easily remove the copy “Squeeze Theme” at the top. I haven’t fully figured it all out yet, but I was able to set it to a “text” header, which allowed me to use any text I wanted. You can also use your own header graphic if you want to, but it may need some customization. I’ve only played around with it for an hour so I have not figured out all the ins and outs yet.

Talk soon!

Gideon

True…

Uhmmm… I have not read the instructions myself yet – I’m more the kind of guy who like’s to fiddle a bit. I guess it depends on how you learn best.

Perhaps if I read the instructions first I would have found the initial setup easier

Gideon

It’s actually really easy to use with Aweber – I simply copied and pasted my Aweber code in to the admin area once, and then it automatically uses that code whenever I create a new squeeze page.

Pretty cool once it’s all set up.

Gideon

Thanks!

Make sure you check out the Squeeze Theme pages for more information – just click on the link right below my video.

Talk soon!

Gideon

Awesome stuff!

Glad you enjoyed this video and also the Become A Blogger videos!

Hows the weather in Auckland? I lived in Christchurch for 13 years – and I almost froze to death! hehehe…

Talk soon!

Out of all the internet marketers I know, the guys at UniqueBlogDesigns.com are the least “spammy” in my opinion. And I’ve seen a lot of internet marketers.

The guys at UniqueBlogDesigns.com will surely look after you – they have an amazing track record and one of the best customer service around on the net.

All the best!

Gideon

Thanks for getting back to me and letting me know about the tutorials.

I think when I created the above video, those tutorials were not available for me yet. But I will check them out now.

Great service! Thanks!

Gideon

I could not have answered better!

Gideon

Also, I am curious if the copy and “Squeeze Theme” branding at the top of the page can be removed easily?

It looks interesting as this is a place were many marketers get stuck, especially if they do there site creation on their own.

Thank you for the information, I will check it out in more detail and look forward to your reply.

James

Will like to hear more about this…

PS i also enjoyed your become a blogger videos , that inspired me to start our own blog as the link above.

Many thanks Regards Theo

I think it’s really cool how you can setup a theme so effortlessly nowadays without having to know all the complicated HTML and CSS and such. I myself know that stuff and have built my web site based on that, however, for those who want to share what information they have with the rest of us who do not want to learn that, it’s good that they are able to easily with a blog.

I guess that means it is going to be expensive and I can expect a stream of emails? This kind of marketing seems to be what works, but it is still feels scammy in my opinion.

Thanks again Gideon!
