This is the original Membership Site Masterplan in audio version, featuring my voice talking out the report to you. It's 2 hours and 46 minutes long and was recorded in 2009 after I finished writing the report.

Neil Patel needs no introduction if you have spent any time researching the world of online traffic and conversion.

Farnoosh Brock fled with her family from Iran to Turkey when she was eleven years old. They were supposed to leave only for a three-week holiday, but they never came back, choosing to depart from their war torn homeland for a better life.

This is an interview for anyone who has found themselves in a situation where their business is a trap. You want to leave but you can't because without you the business doesn't work, the staff depend on you and you're so invested in it, you can't even imagine how to quit.

Stephen Baxter is becoming a bit of an icon in my hometown of Brisbane. He's put in his own time and money to foster the start up scene with his River City Labs co-working space. He is helping a select few start ups with advice and seed funding, plus he has the reputation of a tech entrepreneur who has exited from some big deals, the biggest being the $373 million sale of PIPE networks.

Bret Thomson is a good buddy of mine and an exceptionally skilled copywriter. He's one of those guys who earns at least $10,000 per copy contract and in this interview you will learn why.

Adam Baker is a well known personal finance blogger. He established himself by doing something most people think is a bit, well, risky. Adam and his wife brought home their first baby girl from the hospital, and then he immediately quit his job.

I really do love these niche site success stories, especially when they feature such passion driven subjects (and I admit it, I think model trains are cool). Ian went from installing security fences in a less-than-safe Zimbabwe, to making his way to Australia for a better life for his family, and then managed to secure a full time living without needing a job thanks to an online business focused on model trains.

I realize you probably already have my Blog Profits Blueprint since it has been available for over five years now and has been downloaded by thousands of people. However I have never submitted the audio version to my podcast, so I'm posting it here now to get the download into iTunes and on my podcasts page.

This is no ordinary podcast interview with Chris Guillebeau. I say that because you have probably seen a lot of interviews surfacing with Chris lately and over the years as a multiple book author, world traveler, blogger and information marketer.

This is one great interview if you are looking for a step-by-step story of how a guy can manage a full time job and develop a niche site income during his spare time. It's also incredibly inspirational if you are new to this game of making money online. Patrick didn't do anything unusual. He simply built a website about addiction (which he personally had recovered from) and then filled it with incredibly valuable content from his own experiences and knowledge. It helps that he is a prolific writer, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he had to sit down and get the work done, and find the time to do so around working a full time job. Make sure you listen to the interview where Patrick talks about the hardcore writing sessions he would commit to, producing as many as 400 articles in a month while on holiday from his job! He also explains how his adsense income grew slowly at first and what he did to grow it from $100 a month, to $200, then $300, $600, $1,000 and $2,000. Patrick ends his story explaining how he stumbled across a buyer for his site and managed to secure his dream price - $200,000, enough money to invest and live off so he didn't need a job again, while he moved on to new online projects. And yes of course, he did quit his job. Tips From Patrick: Give yourself a "daily quota" - For example, write every day and you will become better at it and quicker too Know your subject well and keeping a quota is easy because you have lived it Do keyword research within your existing statistics to find good topics to focus on (where the traffic is) Ask for your dream money and someone may just say yes Relevant Links: http://www.spiritualriver.com/ http://www.makemoneywithnowork.com/ Mp3 Download Download the MP3 [ 60 Minutes - 29 MB ]

Subscribe to this Podcast in iTunes. I've been watching the startup community here in Australia a lot recently. This is because of my own interest having a startup and because things are heating up in Australia in general when it comes to tech startups getting media coverage and investment funding. One of the standout startups I keep hearing about is WikiFashion.com, a wiki for fashion started by a young lady named Madeline Veenstra, who happens to live in the same city as me, Brisbane. Madeline started the site with her then boyfriend now fiancee as the technical founder, beginning with just your basic Wiki installation and the desire to fill it with all things fashion. It took off and she quickly found herself in charge of a site with traffic and an income stream from advertising large enough to live off. Now Madeline has begun taking the next step, seeking funding to help grow her project and move to New York, one of the best cities if you work in the fashion industry. I called up Madeline and asked to do an interview so we could learn how she started her website, grew it and what advice she would have for other entrepreneurs. I do have to apologise that we sort of geeked out a bit on the "Brisbane startup" aspect since we are both from Brisbane and have startups, but despite this I know you will get a lot of inspiration from hearing Madeline's story so far. Enjoy the podcast and please take a look at WikiFashion to see what Madeline and her community have created. Mp3 Download Download the MP3 [ 28 Minutes - 13 MB ]

After ending his marriage, Chris Ducker packed his bags and moved to the Philippines for a fresh start. A few short years later he was married again with a new family and a successful business with over 300 employees.

Greetings once again fellow entrepreneur, it’s with great pleasure that I introduce you to Clinton Swaine, who inspired this second article in the Creative Visionary series (the first being Marcin Jacubowski).

Jenna Bagwell is an entrepreneur. Her market however is a bit unusual. She runs a business that exists primarily in the online game, Second Life. To call it a "game" however really isn't accurate. It's a virtual world.
