Ever start down a path in your business and realize you’ve made a wrong decision? (I hate when that happens!) Well that’s what happened with my membership site, and it’s what caused me to go looking for the solution I found in Joomla, the subject of tomorrow night’s webinar on “Next-Level Websites for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses.”

Membership sites, when well done, can be a great source of residual income. The difficulty is that it’s hard to find a software solution that is robust (able to take on all the content you could throw at it), and affordable for solo-preneurs and small businesses. When I first started working on membership sites 6 years ago, one either spent $69/month forever for membership site software, or $4,995 in one payment. Corporate-sized membership site solutions started at $5,000 and went up from there (I worked on one of those also!).

Nowadays it’s possible to set up a membership site for $97, but not one you would want count on to handle hundreds or thousands of members over multiple years. That’s where Joomla comes in: as open-source software, it’s free, but that doesn’t mean it’s not well-engineered or insecure. In fact, I have found it to be both a robust and affordable solution for a membership site. For me and my clients, it offers the best possible combination of features, functionality, multi-user access, and cost-controls.

Best of all, Ididn’t have to give my existing investment in my shopping cart or pay for a shopping cart I didn’t need. I can completely customize the combination of membership features, content, layout, and membership access levels when I use Joomla.

But that’s not all Joomla has to offer. In fact on Thursday night, I’ll have 5 different Joomla sites to show you that were created for different purposes. We’ll talk about when a Joomla site might be appropriate for your business, and I’ll reserve time to take your questions at the end of the webinar.

Here’s how to register:

1. Go to www.websavvysupport.com (my new Joomla site!) and click on Register/Join.
2. Choose Web-Savvy Support Registered Membership, and complete the form.
3. On the next screen, enter your name and email address to immediately receive the webinar link and instructions for future webinars. That’s all there is to it!

NOTE: If you have had an ICFMW membership with the site in the past (paid or trial   membership), use the same username and password to log onto the site. If you don’t remember them, just go to the home page and click Forgot Username or Forgot Password under the Login box to have them sent to you.

Join me on Thursday to get this valuable information NOW so you can start making plans for a membership site of your own. Thanks to my 30% Off Sale, now is a great time to make plans and take advantage of the savings!

Talk to you Thursday at 6 pm Pacific/9 pm Eastern!!

One of the things we’re going to talk about in Thursday night’s webinar on “Next-Level Websites for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses.” is Content. So yes, we’re supposed to write articles, create videos, and grab the attention of those search engines. But after the content is written, what are you doing with it? Are you writing throw-away words or is this content that can become reference material for your clients?

http://www.toolie.com/links/wsswebinar

The answer to that question determines to a great extent what vehicle you might use to house and manage that content. Most of us solo-preneurs are familiar with WordPress and all its wonders, but what else could we be using? This is where a discussion of Joomla is appropriate, and that’s what Thursday night’s webinar is about. Joomla is designed as a content management system, and we’ll go over what that means to you and your business.
