I’ve taken weeks to think about what the new design for Center of Muse needs to be. The business is changing. The wordpress blog is changing. And the needs are changing, too.

Rather than focusing exclusively on writing motivation, and inspiring wannabe entrepreneurs to take action - we’ll be including both virtual and live classes and events geared at helping people get the skills they need to do what they love.

We’re also having another focus. We want to show folks that we can practice attraction and abundance and have success be a byproduct of kindness and compassion. By helping each other out, and being a good neighbor to the world - we can all get what we need, what we want and do what we love.

Sound Idyllic? Sure it does. But it’s also completely possible.

Just think about it for a while. Visualize having all the money, clients, friends, love, food, laughter, and learning you need. Meditate about having all of that while helping others have all that, too. Pray for the courage to help folks in the most remote parts of the world have everything they need, right along with you.

Then, take action.

Maybe that’s a little far out for a post about a wordpress theme. But these are all the things that the theme needs to combine.

I’ll be playing with the creations of others for a bit, but I’m also creating a great piece of work m’self.

Stay tuned.

And why not follow me on twitter, for updates.

Once I figure out what I want for the site, I’ll do a multi-phase release, and share the work with members. (The public will get it eventually, but Center of Muse members will have shared exclusive access, first.)

I couldn’t think of an “M” word that is a synonym of analysis - let me know if you come up with one!

I’ve finished the analysis of some of my marketing experiments today. With some surprising results.

Keeping in mind that the majority of my ads are “below the fold” because I’d rather readers poke around inside this site, than leave it - I can now share with you which marketing experiments have produced profit, and which are being deleted.

First of all, what hasn’t profited:

• AuctionAds - I liked the widget because it was pretty and colorful. I didn’t like the lack of control or how the ads that showed up had nothing to do with most that I write about on Center of Muse. After a three month trial - $0. It goes buh-bye.
• Agloco - I joined because I like the idea of a community based around sharing revenue for being online. And as I am online a lot, it’s a no-brainer to use the Agloco Viewbar when I’m doing non-secure surfing. I don’t use it if I’m working on anything that’s password sensitive or belonging to a client. Just-in-case. The company has not turned a profit, yet, but as I am accumulating hours and “shares” - I’m going to continue to give Agloco more time. (Think about it- Amazon didn’t make a profit at first, either!)

Stay tuned for information on what affiliate programs and advertising experiments produced enough for me to keep them & strongly recommend them to you!
