Two days ago I challenged NPT readers to guess which membership model I would use for my new multi-media blogger training course.

Watch the video below to see which membership model I chose.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to implement it. After spending most of the morning wracking my brains — and surfing the Internet — and coming up with no good answers, I will definitely be taking Stu's Wishlist membership model training course.

… and the Membership Winners are …

Congratulations! You will each be receiving an email from me as we get closer to the launch date, with your membership details.

Brian Gardner’s Revolution Affiliate Contest

By

Brian Gardner, developer of the Revolution themes for WordPress is holding a contest for his affiliates in March.

If you're not familiar with Brian's work, I run his Revolution News theme on my travel blog and it was the theme chosen for a blog coaching club that we're doing now.

Other themes include the original Revolution, as well as Revolution Pro Business, Magazine, Tech and Sports. Most of the themes sell for between $79.95 for a single user licence and $199.95 for a developer's license and affiliates earn 25%.

The most expensive product he sells is the Revolution All-Inclusive Developer Package for $399.95. It is for webmasters who want to create sites using any of Brians 6 Revolution themes. You will also receive any future Revolution themes as well. With the purchase of this package, you can use any of the themes as many times as you wish.

The March Revolution Affiliate Contest has some pretty nifty prizes including:

  1. A 4-night Bahama cruise for two plus $500 cash
  2. Samsung 19″ Flat-Panel HDTV, Revolution All-Inclusive Package or $500 cash
  3. $250 cash or a Gift Certificate to your favorite online retailer

The contest began on March 1st and goes until midnight on March 31st. To qualify you must
be one of the top 3 sales generating Revolution affiliates during that timeframe and link to contest details from your blog — which, take note, is a very smart traffic generation strategy on Brian's part! 🙂
