This lesson is devoted to getting you up to speed with the central part of your membership, the Earn1KaDay members forum.
The members forum at Earn1KaDay is where the majority, if not all, of your activity will be. Everything you need is stored in this protected area.
The main benefits here are the downloads and the discussions.
I send out an email, usually every Friday, to all members (so make sure you remain on that list). I highlight the new downloads that have been added to the members area during the past week, and try to mention the top discussions in the forum. However with several hundred or more new posts every week in the forum, you'll need to look around and see what interests you most as often as you can stop by. Many members come to the forum many times daily.
For a new member, here's the section I want you to visit first:
I've named this the "Essentials" section, because some of the top benefits of your membership, other than the discussions in the forum itself, are listed here. Click on the link to Essentials, and you'll see this.
Essential Links mainly just links to the blog, which is also linked from the main members area. I don't update the blog much, actually, most of the communication comes from inside the forum, and in my weekly email, and occasional special emails.
Tons of downloads the easy way: If you're just starting with us, you might have a hard time, and a long job, downloading everything in the members download area. So I set up a DVD on Kunaki that holds over 3 gigatybes of downloads (I'll set up other DVD's in the future as we get enough to fill them up). If you're a victim of slow download speeds, or just want everything already backed up onto a DVD, this could be useful.
Member Contributed Database of Lists: I've set up a special section outside the forum for members to contribute links to different types of information. This database is continually growing, and as the name indicates, it's maintained by members. You can add entries in any of the categories in the database, and if you would like a new category set up, just let me know by PM in the forum. I'll talk more about this later and give you a peek at the innards.
But for now, if you're just beginning your membership, click on the Required reading and sign up links, and you'll see this (obviously things change over time, so what you see today might not be exactly what you see when I did the screen capture):
Your membership also includes free memberships in other sites, as shown above (more might have been added since I did this screen capture). Also I strongly ask that you read my eBook "5 Bucks a Day" which you can download from the link shown. It actually started this all. I wrote the book, then added a basic membership site for readers (the 5bucksaday forum), then decided to give enhanced support and bonuses, and community, by starting Earn1KaDay.
So, make sure you sign up for any of the extra memberships you're entitled to, if interested in one or all. I especially recommend, after reading my book, that you sign up for Super Simple Marketing, download all the back issues, and sign up for the VRE Coaching Club. So do them now before you get distracted and forget, please. I also recommend very highly signing up for Instant Cash Generators. It only takes one good idea to change your career and your life, and there are tons of income producing ideas inside ICG that you get access to, by way of an autoresponder series, every couple days.
Now back to the forum...
You'll see the above when you visit the forum. I have different sections, and sub-forums below each. When I purchase a new report, audio, or video series for members, it will normally be uploaded into the "Downloads" section. When you click on the link,you'll see many, many different products, all totally free for members. I spend several hundred dollars a month most months to get this information to you.
In fact, here's a tip. Many times I'll make my purchases from the Warrior Forum, Special Offers section (called a WSO for Warrior Special Offer). If you ever see something there that you're interested in, and if it comes with resell rights of some type, before you purchase it, look in the download section to see if I've already purchased it for you. If you don't see it, look in the WSO Reviews section of the forum and see if I've mentioned it there, or if someone else has requested me to purchase it. Post there if you're also interested, or start a new thread.
Just two things. If the product doesn't allow me to add it to a membership site, then it's not going to be available. And if you see that I've posted into the WSO thread that I purchased it, that's a clue that you might soon be seeing it show up. So save your money. :-) You can always contact me to see what my plans are if you think I've already purchased something, sometimes I save some stuff for "veteran members", more about that later.
With well over 200 downloads and growing in the download section, I've attempted to isolate the top ones that I recommend, or that have received the best feedback. That's what the Top 20 Downloads section is for. I recommend you check there first if you're new, as there are some very good products listed there.
Also, just a note. See the "light" on beside the "General Discussions" sub-forum. That means that a new post has been added since the last time I visited that section, it gives you an indication that new information is available to you, so when you come to the forum you know where to look first. That "light" goes off, though, if you neglect to read those posts, and then close your browser, so make sure you don't miss any discussions you're interested in.
