A Sneak Peak...New Designs Dropping Soon!

Cover
Cover-Ocean
Hi, everyone!

I hope this finds everyone enjoying your weekend - around here, the hubby has been plugged into basketball, but he managed to get some major projects done around the house too, much needed since the annual family Easter brunch is not that far off. I thought the grandsons were too old for it - but seems the over-the-top brunch buffet we do every year (featuring "Papa Bob's" made-from-scratch chocolate chip waffles) is still in demand, so time to get the yard cleaned up after a long winter and see if I can get those pansies planted, and oh yeah...clean house. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

New Planner Updates:
I have 4 new Perpetual Planner designs dropping next week - these are the undated-but-still-hyperlinked Digital planners that are super easy to work with and customize and sooooo flexible. I am not sure exactly what day they will be live - it all depends on my schedule with my Mom this week - but I am shooting for Friday, possibly Saturday. These will be priced super low, and matching printables will also be available but the deep discounts will be for 3 days only, so you won't want to miss it!

We've been talking a lot about WordPress in several of our recent workshops, and several folks have asked for some of my faves, so I am putting together a list of some of the top ones that I use, both Free and Premium. Below is the first list - Premium and Free - and more will come in a couple of days.

I have been working with WordPress almost since it launched, and still love it! It's flexible and easy to add just about any functionality that you want with various plugins, and it still amazes me that so many resources, themes, and plugins, are still made available free of charge.

Yes, it has its issues, and yes, I do still sometimes miss the days of HTML and DreamWeaver, but WordPress is what opened blogging and eCommerce to 'regular' people and leveled the playing field so that virtually anyone could start an online business and for that - we should all be eternally grateful ;-)

Premium Plugins That I Love and Use!

WP Exit Traffic Pro
I use this on several of my niche sites, and it will be in use shortly on PLRoftheMonth.club as well. Lower your bounce rate and increase your revenue or list-building efforts by capturing a departing visitor's attention with a full-screen 'takeover' ad as they start to move their cursor towards the browser bar. I also love that they are using this on the sales page - see a demo by heading for the top of the page ;-)

Rank Math
This comes in both a free and paid version, and is hands down my fave for optimizing content! It makes optimizing your post, excerpt, and schema SO easy, and without creating content that sounds spammy. Highly recommended! (This is what we used to optimize the articles for the Kevin Fahey Traffic Shotgun Boot Camp!)

WP Traffic Guard:
There are so many reasons why a visitor might land on a 404 page on your website - from typos to pages that get moved or re-named. This lets you show those visitors whatever you want from and hopefully salvage some of that potentially lost traffic. It also shows you exactly why and how your 404 errors happen so you can plug any holes and optimize your revenue in real time!

Blog Niche Tools
Some women buy jewelry - I buy domains. This is one of the plugins I use to quickly build out simple niche websites, let them age and then monetize through a variety of methods. Great way to use all of that PLR you have, too ;-)
  • Uncover hot, trending & profitable keywords from the top 6 search engines. Scour the top 6 search engines; Google, Bing, eBay, Yahoo, Amazon and YouTube. Drill down into each keyword with a single click and see all the search results for it.
  • Use your keywords to quickly grab stunning stock photos and images from the top 3 sites… 100% free!
  • BULK IMPORT ARTICLES: Automatically convert PLR articles to blog posts with 1-click bulk import and even drip feed posts over time!
Blog Link Magic
This is another winner!! Check out everything this one does (it does a lot more but these are the top features I use):

  • This Cloaks your long affiliate links to make them look like normal URLs turning http://www.productdomain.com/cgibin/affiliates/refer.cgi?r=1023&p=08 into www.yoursite.com/info/productname.html
  • Protects your commissions! Stops thieves dead in their tracks from stealing your affiliate commissions by not showing your affiliate number or Clickbank name.
  • Tracks the keywords for each link clicked that visitors used on Google to come to your blog, giving you much-needed info on ranking your site high and letting you know which keywords are most effective at generating extra traffic.
  • Allows automated keyword-based linking to insert affiliate links for new products or services in your old blog posts, saving you the pain of going through every single post you've ever made one by one by one...
  • Adding links to Old Posts also allows you to monetize the WHOLE of your blog - not just the posts from when you install the plugin!
Listify Pro WordPress List Building Platform
You really need to see the sales video for this one to truly understand the power of this plugin
- it lets you utilize the tens of thousands of plugins in the Wordpress.org repository to build your list - creates the OPTIN pages for you AND integrates with pretty much any autoresponder. Seriously this is a beast at a ridiculous price!!

Free Plugins That I Love & Use!

(Some of these have paid options, but the free version is usually enough for most of us)

All in One WordPress Migration
Fabulous free way to back up your website, and even more everything to a new web host if you need to. Have been using this one for years.

Easy Table of Contents and Table of Content
Both of these are excellent for creating a TOC in your long-format "Pillar" posts. Both are very popular with millions of downloads, and TBH - I have been using Table of Content, however, when writing this piece, I. discovered that it has not been updated in 9 months, while Easy Table of Contents was just updated 2 weeks ago.

Yoast SEO and AIl In One SEO (AISEO)
Although I use RankMath, both of these are excellent as well, established, always updated and supported, and highly recommended. Both now have free and paid versions. Personally, I suggest you try them all out, including RankMath (above), and choose the one that you like the best because it really is something of a personal preference here.

Duplicate Page
LOVE THIS ONE!!! This has saved me so much time over the years! Create your landing or optin page, sales page or blog post template, then simply click, and BINGO!! Your page is cloned as a draft, and you are ready to go with just a few minor changes for the new product. It's been a lifesaver time and again for me!
These are gorgeous!! Spring may not be here in Cincy yet - but I can fake it till we make it with Ruthie's gorgeous new pack! This is my fave pack to date - really beautiful!! I think the colorized versions (shown above) would be perfect in your journals and planners! Dividers, month pages, covers, even stickers - really gorgeous!

And now, back to working on the planners!!
