- You Want The Fish Or You Want The Rod?
Just humour me for a minute here will you …
It's 1:20am here in England, but I just had to get this off my chest before I went to bed …
If you're starving hungry and I'm holding a fish in one hand and a rod in the other, and then I tell you have a choice, take the fish, bake it and eat it, or take the rod and go catch the fish before you can bake and eat it, which one would you take?
Well, I know without a doubt, I'd take the fish and run!! In my view, now is not the time to learn to fish! Yes I must learn but not at a time when my knees are weak and my stomach is twisted from hunger.
And you know what I percieve to be the biggest reason for failure on the Internet today …
Too Much Choice!

- MemberOne Membership Site Software Rocks
If you're think of or have been thinking about adding a membership site to your product offerings, this membership site software is for you …
For about a year now I decided that the best product for me to offer on the Internet would be a membership website, featuring video capture training, articles and teleseminars all about how to blog.Well, in just a few short days, I will be launching my very first membership website, The Blog Net Reporter. But this blog post isn't about my new membership site, but to walk you through my journey of finding the right software and then landing on the perfect solution … MemberOne.
Up until being introduced to MemberOne, by far the best membership site I'd ever come across was Jim Edwards "The Net Reporter" which uses the aMember script combined with the Semiologic WordPress theme for the content. I don't know about you, but I hate going into a membership site and feeling as though I'm alone … "no one is home." And even though Jim Edwards DIDN'T have a members forum, there was so much buzz around the site and it really felt like an exciting place to be. And by the way … the domain names for my site and Jim's is only similar because TheBlogReporter.com wasn't available.
