Keith, here are a couple of questions, but I think they are related…. So far I have hired two employees in the Philippines: a blog builder and a link builder (for lack of a better name—she’ll be doing lots of stuff). For the time being I am having content written by a service. As I train these guys on specific tasks I am also working on developing processes for moving particular projects along and for keeping track of what has been completed and what needs to be done next and in the future. I’d appreciate any advice you can give on how to set things up and any specifics you can share on a system for tracking these things—such as spreadsheets, online project management, customized solutions, etc.

On a related note, I’d also like to hear if you have any suggestions on automated WP installation. Installing a blog and plugins, optimizing the plug-ins, setting up the theme, etc. is easy, but it takes a lot of time. Yes, I have an employee in the Philippines who can do it for me, but once I get my standard installation down pat it would be great to be able to mass produce them, right down to optimizing plug-ins, setting up theme options, installing ads, etc. I think you have a custom programmed solution, but are you aware of any off the shelf options out there? I saw your testimonial on the Blogging Master sales page…do you still recommend that product? Does it even do what I am talking about? If the best option is to have a custom system developed, do you have any advice on how to describe such a system in a rent a coder type listing?
Whew!!!! That was a long one. There are actually several questions in there, but I think they are all on the same broad topic….. maybe? ☺ Anyway, any info you can share will be appreciated. Thanks!

Keith,
I decided to set myself a challenge for Addi’s Faith Foundation also
as I was touched by Addi’s story.
I am going to subscribe to your Traffic and Leads training/coaching
& strive for the refund, I am going to get from your commissions,
to donate to Addi’s Faith Foundation.
Hope I could do it before X-mas.

Martin,

It’s sad that you feel this way, but it’s understandable.

Some people were able to see the info published on the Woody Maxim blog as very helpful, and some just couldn’t get past the fact that it was a pen name (even though the story was 100% true).

I suppose those are the same people that can’t read John Grisham books (or any books by famous authors) for that matter… or watch movies for that matter as most actor names aren’t their real ones.

But I digress…

Anyway, here’s a link to the fundraiser http://www.walkbyfaith5k.org/index.htm.

I do think that it’s very sad that you question good deeds, but some people do that.

I knew right from the beginning that “Woody Maxim” is one big lie.

Liars certainly do not get any support whatsoever.

Does this lady even exist? Put up some pictures.
