Multiple Streams WordPress Theme

Are you looking for a great WordPress theme that supports multiple streams of income?  Here is your chance to get a top-flight WordPress theme, optimized for internet marketing by one of the best.

A couple weeks ago, I put up a quick post about Jimmy D. Brown’s is “retirement”  Yes,  Jimmy D. Brown is “retiring” (IE Removing them from the web and no longer selling them) ALL OF HIS OFFERS on the web. He is doing this for several good reasons, which you can read about here.

The first to go were all of his small reports from SR Zone. I got word from him that 2,144 units were sold in the week before he shut the site down. (That alone tells you that his products are great!) He wasn’t kidding about “retiring” this stuff.

His next “retirement” is an interesting one. It’s something that he previously has not released.

Yep, he’s releasing it … and retiring it at the same time!

Jimmy has a content-rich blog that has some of the best internet marketing information around. Almost as impressive as his content is the blog theme he uses at the site. It’s a beautiful design. Jimmy used a custom, one-of-a-kind design for his blog. It was designed and coded for his exclusive use by a first-rate graphics guy. This graphics guy charges $499 per project. Which is too expensive for me!

Over the months that Jimmy has been blogging, many people have asked him, “which theme did you use”? He let them know it was a custom job and explained the price tag. Ouch. Most people can’t spend $499 for a blog theme no matter how great it is.

After getting as Jimmy describes it “a gazillion” requests for his blog theme, he decided to hire his graphics guy to create a theme that is very similar to his own that he could sell to the general public at a very small and affordable price.

He calls it: “Multiple Streams Theme”.

Why that name?

Because it has ten built-in ways to make money just by using the theme at your own blog.

You can read all about it at the Multiple Streams [of income] WordPress Theme page!

IN FACT, if you’re a blogger, I’d highly recommend you buy a copy of the theme right now before you forget. Even if you only plan on being a blogger SOMEDAY, I’d highly recommend you buy a copy of it right now!

This is a limited time offer!

The clock is ticking. On Friday, March 19, 2010 at 10 PM Central time, Jimmy will be discontinuing all sales for the site. If you haven’t purchased it by then, it will be GONE.

There is also going to be at least one price increase between now and then, so if you want it at the absolute
lowest price (which, really IS “pennies on the dollar!”) get your copy now.

This really is a great opportunity to upgrade the professionalism of your blog for a very low price.

This is a time-sensitive offer. Don’t let the Multiple Streams WordPress theme get away!

This past week, I purchased a new book called Digging into WordPress. This book really takes you from the basics to extensive customization of WordPress – all in a very easy-to-understand format. There are two purchase options – (1) PDF only, or (2) Print and PDF.  I purchased the second option. The print book has one feature that really sold me and that is the spiral binding. It allows you to open the book to the page you want and it won’t flop back closed.

While I am waiting for the printed version to arrive,  I was able to immediately get my hands on the content with the PDF download.  Once the download was completed, I took some time to page through the PDF, reading segments as I went along.  I have a lot of WordPress sites and I can’t wait to start applying the information in this book. I found the book’s presentation to be easy and entertaining to follow.  This is not a boring technical manual.  It is organized so you can go to a specific subject and use it right away.  While you will benefit by reading it from cover to cover, this is not required if you already have a basic understanding of how WordPress works.

The authors give you lifetime access to updates of the PDF ebook.  They also have an active blog with even more useful information. Both the beginner or experienced WordPress user will find this book a fantastic resource.

A couple weeks ago I laid out some steps I am taking with my on-line business.  The first one was to update the look and feel of this website.  I am happy to announce that the major work is done!  I used the DynaBlue WordPress theme designed by WebDesignLessons.com.  I must say that I am really pleased with this theme.   Here are some of my favorite features:

  • Google Adsense integration
  • Ready for Twitter
  • Nice graphics for RSS and Twitter
  • Configurable ads in sidebar and header
  • Contact form
  • Featured post carousel
  • Big text
  • My daughter said it looks professional!

One upgrade I wanted to accomplish was to add polish to my email opt-in form.  I always felt that the standard forms from Aweber didn’t look too good.  I really liked Lynn Terry’s form, so I started poking around the SSWT forum looking for clues.  Well, she pointed me to where she got the graphic! (I didn’t intend on picking the same color that she did, but blue is what matched the new theme.)

I want to share with you where I got the custom email opt-in form.  It is part of a great offer containing 120 Squeeze Page Designs.  When you follow this link, you will have the opportunity to get 2 free squeeze page templates.  One is an email opt-in form and the other is an optimized squeeze page.  Here’s where it gets good.  For only $37 you can have the full 120 Squeeze Page Templates.  You could not even get the email opt-in form completed by a web designer for that price!  I think it is a great deal.  (Of course, I bought it!) It is so important to have a good, Web 2.0, look to your web pages in order to increase opt-in rates.  This package will definitely help you with that!

All in all, I am glad that this step toward building on-line income is complete.  It is time to move on to step 2 – launching my first affiliate marketing site.  I’ll keep you updated along the way.

Now I can get going!

About a month and a half ago, I posted about roadblocks keeping me from starting a project.  As with things of this nature, it took longer than I anticipated to get past the roadblocks.  Once I cleared the major roadblock, a couple of other detours ensued.  Now that I am past those, I am ready to get going.

One other thing that has changed is the project I wanted to start.  I am putting that on hold to focus on something that will generate some quicker cash flow.  I still want to do that project, but my online business has bills to pay, now!

As an exercise in accountability, I am posting here my plans for the upcoming weeks and months.

  1. This website needs a facelift.  I am going to update the look and better integrate with social media.
  2. I am launching my first affiliate marketing site.
  3. Create more affiliate marketing sites.
  4. More consistent posting on all of my blogs.
  5. Profit!!

As this is a blog about my journey to work from home, I will keep updating you on my progress and what I learn along the way.
