Wordpress Dashboard: Getting Down With The Basics

November 30, 2009 in Blog, MLM Blog by George Fourie

If you have recently signup up at thatMLMbeat and this is your first time setting up a Wordpress blog or navigating through the back office, then this video is for you.

Your thatMLMbeat back office really consists of your Wordpress Dashboard.

Our social network runs off Wordpress, so if you already have any type of Wordpress blog, this dashboard will be familiar territory for you.

There are a few extra custom features and functions that you won’t find in a standard Wordpress Blog, but the basic navigation works exactly the same.

If this is your first time seeing this layout and you don’t have a Wordpress blog yet, then this video will help you tremendously.

When in doubt, always use the navigation bar right at the top. All the essential short cuts to edit your account, social profile and general blog features are accessible from this menu.

More Information:

For more information about setting up a blog, you might want to check out this video on how to create a custom blog.

If you already have an existing blog and you would like to add it to thatMLMbeat, then watch this video on how to add your existing blog to thatMLMbeat.

Special Thanks To Top 50 MLM Bloggers And Supporters

October 19, 2009 in MLM Blog by George Fourie

Wow! To all the inspiring network marketing professionals whose success stories made the Top 50 MLM Blogs and caused an instant viral buzz across all things social media, THANK YOU!!

I have to confess myself that it’s an honor for me too watching all the positive comments pour in, Tweets going wild and the Top 50 Network Marketing Bloggers take pride in their well deserved accomplishments.

It’s an instant justification for time really well spent. In fact, the reward is 10 fold!

To all the network marketers who left comments, shared, tweeted it and even did a blog post linking to our elite 50, thank you for paying it forward.

It all comes back to you and who knows, some of you might even be listed in the Top 50 MLM Blogs for 2010 next year!

John M Fogg expressed in his comment that he was surprised that there were so many blogs that add so much value. John was not the first to mention this.

I was probably the first one when I reached the dilemma of MLM Blog number 36. The list was getting significantly smaller after removing close to a hundred blogs and the thought crossed my mind that 50 is a big number.

Now don’t get me wrong, none of the 100 MLM blogs were bad. Some were simply outdated, Network Marketing company specific and others didn’t stay true to the criteria. The standard was set and had to be met.

But here’s the profound thing that happened at about blog number 48…

I came across several greater network marketing blogs. Even to the point that I was about to reassess reviews that were already completed and good to go.

Nevertheless, the final decision ended up with a bit of a juggle and really nitpicking at the last couple of blogs to determine the final Top 50 MLM Blogs.

Needless to say, what a marvelous motivation to do it again next year, but spice things up a little with a twist of interactivity and definitely relinquishing control over the voting responsibility to you as our readers.

Now wouldn’t that be cool!?
