Discover How to &#8220;Rev Up&#8221; Any Client&#8217;s Business Growth (and Work Less for BIGGER Results)</p>
<p><em><strong>A Free Teleclass on May 11th, 2010 </strong></em></p>
<p>More and more business owners are looking for OBMs and VAs who can provide ongoing Infusionsoft support. These clients either want to &#8220;make the switch&#8221; from another system, or they&#8217;ve already done so and desperately need someone to manage (and leverage!) this amazing software for their business.</p>
<p>Join Tina Forsyth and me for FREE call where we will be sharing:</p>
<ul>
<li> What is Infusionsoft? (Hint: it&#8217;s much more than a shopping cart!)</li>
<li>Why is it so popular with biz owners? (There is a reason so many are making the switch.)</li>
<li>How does it compare to other shopping cart, broadcasting and autoresponder systems out there? (There are some key benefits to Infusionsoft vs. other tools.)</li>
<li>Is this a worthwhile skill set to add to your business? (It&#8217;s not for everyone, but if your role involves supporting clients’ business efficiency and growth, you MUST consider learning Infusionsoft.)</li>
</ul>
<p>Register now at<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m so excited about this new training that OBM Trainer Tina Forsyth and I are putting together for OBMs and Virtual Assistants. When a client of mine decided last year to make the move to Infusionsoft from 1ShoppingCart.com &#8211; I found myself &#8211; an avid user and trainer of 1ShoppingCart &#8211; lost to say the least! In my search to learn this new platform, I came across very little help or support.</p>
<p>Now, that I have learned by jumping in and doing (and of course some 1 on 1 training with the good guys at Infusionsoft), I&#8217;m ready to help others in the virtual professional support industry gain the knowledge, support and strategy on how, when and why clients should move and use this robust marketing platform.</p>
<p>Class will begin in late May &#8211; more details coming soon!</p>
<p>I hope you will join both Tina and I on this exciting series!</p>
<p>Hope all is well with you!</p>
<p>Amber</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many clients come to me and say, Amber, I&#8217;d like to start a membership site. How soon can you make this happen &#8211; by the end of next week&#8230;?</p>
<p>My first response is usually to laugh (with all due respect of course!)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing. Yes, a Membership Site can &#8220;technically&#8221; be set up in a week. And by technically, I am referring to the &#8220;nuts and bolts&#8221;. BUT, what I have learned is that it takes MORE than just these nuts and bolts and some old audios and previously written articles to make a membership LAST.</p>
<p>What I have seen happen over the last few years is that everyone is in a rush to create a membership because someone told them it was an easy way to make money online &#8211; with little or no effort. This is a lie folks. Sure, you can &#8211; but here is what will most likely happen. Your clients will come in, download what they need, and cancel. Simple as that.</p>
<p>A truly successfully membership site does more than provide &#8220;content&#8221;. I provides a community&#8230;somewhere for your clients to not only learn the valuable information you were born to share &#8211; but to also find a place of belonging. And guess what? YOU need to play an active role &#8211; not just upload it and let it run itself.</p>
<p>I recently had the opportunity to do some coaching and brain storming with the 1Shoppingcart.com creator and Guru himself, George Tran, around Membership Sites and around his methodology. For someone who has been providing membership site support for years to my clients &#8211; I learned an incredible amount from George on the mindset that MUST happen first before you even begin to setup a membership site &#8211; if you are looking to create something that will last.</p>
<p>Stay tuned as George and I roll out a new wave of training on this and his new program with Practice Pay Solutions called Ecommunity. I know this will blow your mind as it did mine! My clients are already seeing the benefits of my new way of thinking and managing their membership sites!</p>
<p>To Your Membership Site Success!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This question came in from a Virtual Assistant who took a shopping cart certification class from me a while back.</p>
<p>Q: Why do my clients get a security warning when someone is taken to the billing checkout page?</p>
<p>A: If you are using the 1Shopping Cart system (aka Practice Pay Solutions, Kickstart Cart, Easy Web Automation and more) and you receive security warnings when your checkout page comes up &#8211; there is an easy fix!</p>
<p>Most likely you are using the top or buttom html box to custom the look and feel (and if you are not, I highly recommend you do!). If you have not loaded your images, including a header graphic into your carts media center,  any browsers will display a warning message because it is trying to open a secure page (https) that contains un-secure media (somewhere on an unsecured server, ie www.yourwebsite.com/images).</p>
<p>This is something you do not want when trying to make a sale <img src='http://www.smarttofinish.com/Blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This can be easily fixed by first uploading your media images  in the shopping carts media library &#8211; and then grabbing the url given for that image to use in your html code.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
