Hello and welcome to the year 2012!

Auto-Update WordPress Copyright DateOkay, it is already a week into 2012 so I’m probably not the first to say “Happy New Year” but I still want to wish you the best for your 2012.

While I’m on the ‘New Year’ topic, does your WordPress site know it is 2012 yet?

Or is the copyright info & date in your WordPress footer still say 2011, or worse – 2007 like mine used to say.

With having one site it is more of a nuisance than anything else, to go in and change the date each December 31st. Many of us might have other plans on the 31st than to tinker with our WordPress sites.

Now if you have several WordPress sites then that ‘nuisance’ quickly becomes a major headache!

Well no more!

Here is a quick tutorial on how to automate the updating of your date info in your WordPress footer.

Here is the code that you put into your WordPress footer 
Copyright &copy; 2007 -  <?php echo date(‘Y’); ?>

(Make sure when you paste this code into your editor that you didn’t transfer any extra charterers through the copy/paste function)- & in the video below, I’ll detail how & where you put it. The 2007 is when my site was launched so if you want to add your WordPress sites beginning date then replace the 2007 with your sites first year unless it is a brand new site for 2012.

If you are not into viewing the video then log into your dashboard and go to the appearance sub-panel then click on editor.

Then in the right column click on the footer.php file and scroll down until you see <?php do_action( ‘twentyeleven_credits’ ); ?> or you can use the Ctrl + F (Find function) keyboard combination to locate that exact phrase (or you could watch the 2 minute video).

At the end of the code press your enter key and on this new line is where you paste the code provided above.

If you want the date to show on a line above the “Proudly Powered By WordPress” phrase then add the following code to the end “<br />”

This should do it.

Next January 1st you will not have to worry about getting your WordPress sites copyright date updated but the phone number written on your forehead might be a bit worrisome. ;-)

Thanks for checking out my post and have a great 2012.

In the event you might believe 2012 may be the end of things as we know it then here is a nice video to help calm your nerves – ENJOY!

Once a month Namecheap releases a new discount code for new domain registrations. When the month ends, the discount codes expire.

You will be able to register .biz & .org, domains for $8.81 and register com & .net, domains for $9.10 & for the .us domains, I did not get the coupon to work but they are already selling at a low price of $6.99 anyway. Don’t forget that the .com & .net need to have the ICANN fee added. It is a whopping 18 cents each.

For an even greater savings, once you have 50 or more domains with Namecheap, you can contact them and request a permanent discount on all future domain registrations.

So if you have domain names registered elsewhere you should consider moving them to Namecheap in order to have 50 or more domains registered at Namecheap.

Surviving Your First Year Of Internet Marketing

Internet Marketing Warning Image - PLR Video Direct One of the best things about making a living on the internet is that most anyone with Internet access and a computer of some kind can do it. Requirements DO NOT include college degrees, High School diplomas or even prior experience.

YouTube Videos Can Play A Big Part In Boosting Your Biz

YouTube VideoOne of the best ways to have a popular YouTube video is if your name is Lady Gaga or Beyonce. But that is only possible if well you are Lady Gaga or Beyonce so I’m not including this as one of the 5 ways.

Another and hopefully obvious way to have a popular video is to have a totally awesome video.

But when it comes to a video that is about a new product, or a tutorial or about some type of introduction to your business, these are not always wild, sexy and lets face it…popular.

So here are 5 ways the average Joe (or Jane) can increase the chances of their video going viral or becoming the next popular YouTube video.

1. Title
Keyword Rich Yet Descriptive

YouTube and most people can’t tell what is actually in your video before they watch it, so you have to let them know as best you can with your title.

The words in your title determine how YouTube lists your video in the search results when someone performs a search. And not only the YouTube search results look at the words in your title, but also Google and other search engines will list your video according to the “keywords” in your title.

Usually, one or two word titles just will not cut it & come off as boring, plus they don’t give a clear explanation to the viewer.

Instead of writing “Puppy” as the title, write a more detailed one such as “The Worlds Cutest Puppy”.

Another point is to capitalize the first letter of every word in the title. This makes it stand out more, so people are more likely to click on your video over someone else’s.

Keep Your Email List Subscribers Happy By Using PLR Videos

PLR Videos Content image plrvideodirect.comPLR Videos can give your list a solid edge.

These days, most anyone that joins your mailing list will be looking for near-exclusive content that is difficult to track down anywhere else. PLR videos can help you with this.

Otherwise, your list subscribers may see you as no different than the zillion other marketers trying to capture their attention, time and eventually money.

You must maintain that edge of attention!

You could be competing, literally, against 500 other lists offered by 500 other marketers. Without something different or special like what you can get with PLR videos, you’re just going to get lost in the noise.

You need to teach your subscribers a mindset: a mindset which tells them that your e-mails are important, that your e-mails will contain something special just for them.

You’re not going to accomplish this “just-for-them” perception by offering content that looks like it’s been lifted off of Ezine.com or slapped together in a matter of minutes.

You have to show your list that you’ve really taken the time to put together the informative, special content that they really need.

With a little time spent on editing PLR videos you will have your unique content. The more often you re-purpose PLR videos, the quicker you get at it.

Your list also needs to know [click to continue…]
