I have been applying some changes to the store’s website and I thought I’d share some of the ways I’m redesigning for maximum profit. Cool eh’?
Folks ask me all the time what should a website look like? Looks do play a role but before you start down the design path you should really take some time and considerer other aspects like functionality, marketability, demographics, and what is the goal of this new online venture.
So, if it ok with you, let’s begin with the top 5 ways…

Wow!
I just came across this really cool site that let you pluck videos from virtually anywhere, and throw them into a playlist. How cool is that?!
The website is called embedr.com and you can click on the link below to visit and create a playlist.
So many of these new Web 2.0 websites are utter fails, and when something just works like this one it is a real treat.
Here is my first one that I did in about 3 minutes.

I just finished upgrading all of my WordPress Blogs to the new version (2.8.4), because there is a new virus that targets WordPress blogs.
Don’t worry too much just, login to the back office of your wordpress blog and click upgrade at the top.
Here is a full article from the boys over at wordpress.org http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/

Mark here wishing you and your family a safe and happy Independence Day!
In observation of the past week, I have had the pleasure to work with and meet some fantastic people.
From the folks that ran into me at local networking groups, to the eccentric cat painter at the Conch Republic who’s refreshing vision on life brightened my day, to the seasoned business warriors that taught me to embrace change in a changing world. Also to the wonderful day I had with my family who watched the Rays last Sunday snag some Marlins preceding the destruction of some CGI Decepticons in the Transformer Movie. All of which is not possible in a vast majority of the world.
I will always be grateful that my family decided to immigrate to this great country back in ‘89. It has been hard work but we were never promised an easy path. No handouts, or bailouts just the promise of a better life.
So, before we continue with the usual July 4th festivities of Bar-B-Queing, sparklers, sun tan lotion, and fireworks; thank a soldier for protecting this country, and pause for a moment to give thanks for the great minds, sacrifice, and leaders that has brought this country to where it is today. Who knows what the future has in store for you or me or where we are going politically or otherwise. However, what I do know a small group of men and women braved the tyrannical oppressors and ratified their independence on July 4th, 1776 for the promise of a better life.
Kick back, relax, and enjoy your weekend. Because next week you further cement your legacy, or start on the road to build a new one!
Remember, we all live in a nation where anything is possible and the only thing that stops us from here to there is you.
Talk soon,
Mark

I just got back from TWBA Online Brandon, and the night before I was at my own meeting in Clearwater.
The energy was incredible!
It is really cool that I can share some of my knowledge to so many great folks!
One of the things that can impact your business right away is to get a blog up and going.
You can do that by registering a domain name, and get hosting from hostgator. Here is the link www.markfl.com/hosting and click on the big gator.
From there you can install a WordPress Blog by using Fantastico.
It is late, and I have a sales page to finish so goodbye for now.
Good luck out there!

P.S. I am starting a weekly Webinar Based Radio Show. Stay tuned for an announcement soon.
I have been swamped lately so I have not been as active. Oh, well. That will all change next week! 
Here is something really cool…
On the Discovery Channel Pitchmen is a series feat. Billy Mays (the oxi clean guy) as a reality TV show.
It airs Wednesday at 10PM, DVR it if you are at a meeting like I am.
I watched it for the first time tonight and is was very funformational!
Talk to you soon,

I was just listing some items using eBay Turbo Lister and it dawned on me that I have not told you about this yet.
The eBay Turbo Lister program runs side by side with your eBay account and it manages, saves, and allows you to maintain a database for quick listings.
It is a nifty free program that helps you quickly list items in your store or regular account.
Download it here, http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/index.html
Hope this helps,
Mark
