If you’re considering purchasing Re-sale Rights to the WP Simplicity plugin for WordPress, I recommend you think again!  Actually, even if you are just going to purchase the  WP Simplicity Plugin itself I would think again based on the below experience.

I’ve been a reseller since the first day resale rights have been offered.  And when WP Simplicity was in the hands of the original developer, there were no problems at all.  Even if one of my customers went directly to them for support, they were taken care of.  Now,  WP Simplicity has apparently been sold to another party and thanks to a loyal customer, I found out what THEIR priority is.

My customer asked for support as her plugin suddenly stopped working.  In a nut shell, she was told to ask for a refund and re-purchase from them directly if she wanted support.  Also, he made the implication that the resellers do not have the latest version (which we are ALWAYS supposed to receive) yet there is no new version.  Basically, it seems this party doesn’t have much of a clue when it comes to support anyway as he blames reported problems on something the customers must have done OR he states that the reseller must have altered the plugin.  Of course, neither is the case, but since he had no solution, better to throw it off to someone else.

Of course, my customer was not mad at me….she just could not believe that they would do business this way.  One thing is for certain, she won’t ever buy anything from this party especially if it involves resale rights.

So…before you consider purchasing WP Simplicity with re-sale rights, you should pretty much count on similar experiences happening to you as well.

WordPress 3.3 has arrived.  But if you intend on updating your blogs, you’ll want to insure your plugins, widgets etc are going to be compatible with the update.

Even more important…before you BUY any premium WordPress plugins, PLR Blogs, Add-ons etc…you’ll want to be sure they are compatible with 3.3 too!

I saw a Christmas Fire Sale released today and along with the usual offerings of old outdated products or products with giveaway rights (which means the PLR and MRR are essentially worthless) they were offering 25 of the PLR Boy PLR Blogs.  Well, those blogs are not even compatible with WordPress 3.1 and the developer no longer supports them.  So if you get them, they’re worthless unless you are willing to go to the Theme provider and purchase a license allowing you to update the framework.  If you’re not looking to spend $75, then don’t let those sway your purchase decision.

Bottom line, ANY product you are looking at for WordPress you will need to check it’s compatibility with the version of WordPress you intend to use or update to.

Recently I saw a new announcement for a Blog Install Service.  I expected to see a reasonable price like $19.97 or something along those lines….but NEVER expected $67!

Has everyone completely lost their minds???

First of all, if you are just a LITTLE BIT net savvy, you could install WordPress EASILY by yourself.  Not to mention that almost every reputable web host has a “One Click” install option for WordPress.   Even if you are not sure what plugins you should use, there is a virtual TIDAL WAVE of tutorials not only at WordPress.org but all over the net.

We’re not even mentioning other options you have such as Fiverr.com!  Searching just the term “Install WordPress” I found over 100+ gigs offering WordPress Blog Installs for only $5 and many offered not only everything this $67 blog install service did, but even MORE!

In additon, there are literally TONS of offers out there to install WordPress for $10, $20 etc that will give you everything you’ll ever need and more.

I don’t want to offend anyone, but if you actually would consider spending $67 for a blog install, you’ve either got money to burn OR you’ve simply lost your mind!

Here are some resources to check out before you slap down that $67!

And trust me, these are just a few of HUNDREDS of thousands!

Folks, a WordPress Blog install is about a 30 minute job even with additional plugins and some custom features so at the $67 rate, you are paying $134 per hour!!

When I saw this one, I couldn’t figure out what was more pathetic…..PAYING for this plugin (there are free plugins at WordPress.org that do this) or just having it on my blog to begin with!  I mean, unless I am running a “literary” blog or something like that, what conceivable reason could there be to have it?

And then…..this post in the Warrior forum where it’s being sold just proves the fact that some have their cronies come in and praise everything they offer…..get a load of this BS comment:

“I’ve just brought this amazing WP Plugin. I’m
excited to has this software that I has been pleased with favorite poetry
showing at the end of my blog post.”

No…what’s amazing is that you PAID for this!!  And the fact that you are excited about it?   Come on…..Really???  This just gives the Warrior Forum a bad name in my opinion.

Geez, the least this marketer could have done is sought out someone that can type in correct English before coming in to praise this absolutely incredible plugin! <–sarcasm

This marketer has a history of offering plugins you can get for free for a price, but free or not, this one is just the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen….and I am not sure who is worse…the marketer selling it or those promoting it for the commissions.

Hey, if you want poetry on your blog, more power to you.  But don’t fall for this garbage.  Head over to the WordPress.org site and search “poetry” in the plugins directory.  Instead of putting poetry at the end of EVERY post, this free one will just place it in the sidebar, which frankly makes more sense!

Plugins for WordPress have become very popular with many marketers.  Unfortunately, most are very simple single task plugins, can be “buggy” (rushed to market with little testing) and in some cases (and this really ticks me off) are copies of or renditions of FREE plugins from the WordPress.org Plugin directory!  (In fact, yet another came out today).  They count on the fact that many will buy on “impulse” without doing a little “checking” first.

I urge you (especially given what many charge for plugins) to ALWAYS search the WordPress Plugin Directory BEFORE purchasing any plugins!  The results will often surprise you (if not make you really mad!)  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

That being said, I do want to let you know (or remind you if you’ve received my prior emails) about 3 recent Plugin releases……and yes….I have purchased all of them so I speak from first hand knowledge!  In my opinion, these 3 plugins are some of the best premium plugins released in many months (if not ever) and all have intro pricing that is soon to end!

WP Simplicity - You ABSOLUTELY need to go and check out the demo video and feature details on this one!  It does so much I can’t begin to list it!  And….it’s well tested!  CLICK HERE TO GRAB YOUR COPY!

WP Subscribers – Finally, a COMPLETE Subscription and Opt-in Management system for WordPress, compatible with ANY Auto Responder!  About 5 minutes after installing this one, I realized it was AWSOME!!

Easy Fanpage Design – If you want the BEST and EASIEST solution to the new iFrame Fanpages at Facebook AND want to completely integrate your blog with your Facebook Fanpages….THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!  Intro pricing ends in 4 days!

As I have said, I have purchased ALL 3 of these, and I can tell you, they are well worth the tiny investment and are well designed, effective and useful plugins.

But regardless of what you decide is best for you, remember, when it comes to Plugins for WordPress do your “due diligence”!  Check that plugin directory and be sure you’re not paying for a plugin that you could have had for free!

As a blogger, you may already know about the power of mailing list building, this is still a long-term process that needs your effort and creativity.

However, despite your hard work, you always need to struggle with the low subscription rate. But it’s not anymore, there’s a brand new WordPress plugin which cost you a minute of installation and then increase your blog mailing list at least 300% like never before.

The plugin I’ve mentioned here is WPSubscribers, an all-in-one solution to boost up your list. You will be amazed at this plugin features:

- You can add many opt-in forms in anywhere as you want, including lightbox pop-up, footer-bat, sidebar, post content, comment section or even in user registration form.
- 9 catchy design pop-ups plus 8 colors each.
- An intelligent plugin that you can customize any aspect, put any content in opt-in form, configure display time, location…
and much, much more, you can view all these features at:

Today I purchased a developers license to the Easy Fanpage Design Plugin for wordpress.

I can tell you it’s nothing short of AMAZING!  Developed by Justin Wheeler (WordPress and Facebook expert) and Jimmy Reilly (software developer), on those credentials alone I knew it would be good, but I never imagined it would be THIS GOOD!!

At full retail price, this plugin is an exceptional value….but until April 26, 2011 you can save BIG with discounts as much as $200 (developer’s license) , $50 (multi site license) and $20 (singe site license).

Those of you that know me by now know that I never recommend a product unless I’ve purchased and used it myself and find it to be an exceptional value.  I can tell you, this one is ONE OF THE BEST!
