Wordpress Mage – Is It Worth the Investment, or Rediculously Overpriced?

I trialed Wordpress Mage and  Here's MY opinion.

I've been developing, building, and installing websites for myself and for clients since 2002.  I must have launched a few thousand websites to the net by now.  About three years ago I quit building static html sites and went exclusively to the Wordpress platform for all my website development – Because from my experience it is the BEST PERFORMING system for getting ranked, staying ranked, and earning money.

I have systemized my 'system' to be as streamlined and failsafe as can be.  It includes using two paid-for services that help with both the site building and installation, as well as the website promotion and off-page seo  (FirePow and SE Nuke).  Each of those services cost me $127 per month, for a total of $254 per month.

I've been using those services for nearly two years – obviously they've been worth it to me.

Enter Wordpress Mage.  Being a Wordpress devotee, I was too curious NOT to sign up to the trial a couple weeks ago and give Mage a closer look firsthand.  And what I saw showed me that with Mage, I could do EVERYTHING and more than my own 'sytemetized system' is capable of – In way LESS Time, and for FAR LESS MONEY.

With WP Mage – I cut my niche research, keyword research, content gathering, site building, site installation, seo and web promotion down to just a couple minutes and a couple clicks.

With WP Mage I can cancel those two memberships to services I USED to need because I don't need them with Mage because it's all in there.  I can save myself $254 per month.

So… I PURCHASED my copy of WP Mage yesterday and became a Master Mage.  I paid the one-time investment  (using one of the coupon codes down below, for $300 off).

I figured what the heck… I get LIFETIME membership and use of the MAGE system.  Whereas, for what I'd pay for Mage, I'd only get 4 months worth of those 'other' services.  DING!  Eye-opening numbers.

With Mage's complete system, I don't need those other services.  So getting Mage was a PROFOUND no-brainer.  For me, WP Mage is a super deal and extremely worthwhile investment in my business, and in my life.  I'm going to save a lot of money on tools, grow my income faster, and get a LOT of my time back thanks to Mage.

Any of this make sense, or 'resonate' with you?

I have heard some people say that WP Mage is over-priced. I think these comments come from two lines of reasoning…

The first is that it is simply could be overpriced.  A serious possibility in today's world of inflated marketing products.

Apple also suffers from similar critics, yet those who use Apple products see and understand the quality they are getting and wouldn't use anything else. Sometimes you pay for what you get.  Or, you really do get what you pay for.

WP Mage is not some $100 outsourced script. It has taken an entire team of people well over a year to develop.

Every aspect has been refined and improved for the best possible results with the simplest user experience. I genuinely believe that in the case of WP Mage you are paying for what you get and getting what you pay for…

A quality product.  And a quality product that encompasses a complete system that's near 100% automated for creating, populating, monetizing, and promoting websites that make money.  A COMPLETE system that could allow you to cancel monthly memberships to other services that perform various necessary tasks, because WP Mage literally does it ALL.

So to the second line of reasoning…

Some people simply can not afford it (though, as in my case, I simply could not afford NOT to get it).

Anyway,  due to many requests there's now a payment plan to make it easier for you to get Wordpress Mage.

Better still, I have managed to get discount vouchers for WP Mage for You to use – one coupon code works for the payment plan, the other discount coupon works with the one-time payment option.  Both vouchers will give you an instant $300 discount. Use the discount code at the WP Mage links below.

Payment Plan: To get $100 off each of the 3 installments enter the coupon code 'MakeItEasy' on the order page.

There's a very active Mage members' forum, so be sure to give a shout out to 'Oppgroup' (that's me) when you get there.  I hope to see you on the inside.

PS.  They'll be pulling the signup page soon, but I am not sure the exact time.

Take my advice and be quick.

PPS. Here are the available coupon codes (both give $300 off the final sales page price):

Single Payment coupon code: LetMeIn
Payment Plan coupon code: MakeItEasy

Update (8/2010) — Since I wrote this WP Mage review several months ago, WP Mage has closed its doors.  Don't panic.  Greg Jacobs does open up WP Mage for new customers every once in a while — he's opened Mage doors for one week three different times in the last 14 months.  My advice to you is this:  Sign up so you can get instant notification direct from Greg when he opens Mage again.  And in the meantime, by signing up you get the INVALUABLE ($495) Mage Blueprint for free!  With the Mage blueprint, you can plan and prepare, so when WP Mage doors open again you'll be ready to hit the ground running and be leaps ahead of the game.  K?

WP Mage Signup

FYI, WP Mage continues to be the single BEST income boosting system I currently use.  So good in fact that the Mage strategy is what I use on all my sites — Not only for building affiliate product blogs, but I even use it to build 'traffic generating' slave blogs to promote my own products.  Cha Ching!!

The advancement of the World Wide Web has brought upon us several kinds of income opportunities that we have never seen before! I just read about a kid who has made $1.5 billion! Ordinary mom and pop have generated over $200,000 per year selling their cooking recipes, while high school students are suddenly being looked upon as political advisors!

Just few years back, building your presence on internet through a website could cost you thousands of dollars, something that most of us unable to afford, but today, you can build your presence online for free using what is popularly known as blogging.

Blogging, most popularly known as online diary, has exploded in popularity in recent years. People with no web design and development skills whatsoever can start blogging in just 5 minutes. Thanks to the recent free popular service called blogspot.com, blogging has never been easier!

The Income Potential of Millions Dollars

I remember that just few years back in 2006, there was this 23 years old school dropout kid making 5 figures income every month from blogspot.com. From that day onwards, I knew that there is a potential of earning millions of dollars from blogging.

The ever growing popularity of blogging in recent years just confirmed my belief. Can you imagine working from anywhere, at anytime and being paid $100,000 per year simply for writing blog posts? Actually, there are several people who earn even more than $100,000 per year from their blogs!

Share Your Ideas With The World

Perhaps, just like me, you too love to write and want to share your opinion with world. A blog can make your dream come true. People from different countries can read your blog. You can share knowledge about anything, from political issues to teenager issues. What is even more interesting is the fact that you can build friends from many different countries from the comfort of your bedroom!

The First Step Toward Your First Million Dollars

Don't have any capital to invest at all? Don't worry; you don't need money in order to setup a blog. You can start blogging using blogspot.com which is a free blogging service!

Personally, I prefer wordpress.com; nowadays web hosting has become very affordable and most good web hosts will have a 1-click install feature for Wordpress, so you don't need to mess around with technical issues! If you ask me, I prefer doing business and making money rather than handling these technical issues.

Once your blog is setup, you can join several affiliate programs in order to promote their products on your blog and make money every time a visitor buys a product from your affiliate link. Just go to associateprograms.com and clickbank.com and you will find many different products you can promote, ranging from music to satellite TV!

Being an affiliate means that whenever someone buys a merchant's product through your link, you will get paid. Once you sign up with each of these affiliate programs, you will be given a unique link which you can embed into the content of your blog post. The rest of the game is very simple: just keep posting good content on your blog and get backlinks from fellow bloggers!

As a matter of fact, this is how the 23 years old kid about whom I told you earlier in this article could make 5 figures income every month!

In recent times, the development of World Wide Web has been so fast that it seems as if we have entered the new era of the so called web 2.0 in the blink of an eye. Promoted widely as the new breed, web 2.0 has quickly gained popularity with several inventions such as video blogging and podcast, just to mention two of those inventions.

In spite of its seemingly growing popularity, the question remains whether a video blog is more popular than a text blog, I find this issue quite intriguing; in fact, not just I, even several popular newsgroups and forums have been discussing it for several months.

Personally, I don't think video blogging will ever defeat text-based blog. In this article I will give you 3 reasons why I think so. Reading this article would open your eyes to some new and exciting business opportunities you may not be aware of!

Reason No 1 – We Have Only So Much Time

With video blogs you need to spend at least 5 to 15 minutes on each view. Well, I don't know about you but for me who works 8 hours a day, I can't afford to spend 15 minutes to watch videos about which I know nothing! The story might be different if your job is to review such videos on net but for me, the lack of ability to skim through the main content of the video blog is the primary issue that should be taken care of first.

Reason No 2 – It Is A Matter of Personal Preference

Depending on the subject, video blogging may have a great advantage. For example, videos are great for music or tutorial type blogs. Some people have a better ability to learn by watching than reading, and to tell you the truth, I am the type who can absorb things more quickly while watching.

For music blogs of course podcast becomes the primary medium for delivering content. It is a lot more interesting to hear the music rather than reading the lyrics; however for most of the subjects other than music or tutorials, video blog is simply a waste of your valuable time.

Reason No 3 – The Cost of Producing High Quality Video is Still High

I remembered watching a self-made video about a DJ a week ago! It was done by some teenagers from Los Angeles, and to put it bluntly, this video is simply the worst I have ever seen! Creating high quality videos with good sound control effects and lighting, not to mention presenting popular shows, is still considered to be under the budget of most of people.

I remember reading advertising on one forum offering custom video creation services at the cost of $60 per video.

Without all of those issues being handled properly, it is unlikely that video blogs will ever dominate text-based blogs.

Do you just barely know about blogging? It is so confusing to read all the tips on net about databases, css, scripts and so on, when all you want to know is how to start writing blog in five minutes. Trust me, I know how you are feeling about this one. Today we will learn few basic things about blog and blogging, no technical mumbo-jumbo! I promise you that by the time you reach the end of this article, you will know how to write your first blog and start making money quickly and easily!

1. Use Blogspot.com

Blogspot.com is a free and user friendly service for newbie bloggers. What does it mean? It is easy to do; all you need is just drag your mouse and write your post and voila, you've already published your first blog!

Just visit blogspot.com and see yourself! With a lot of additional features being added every day, blogspot.com has truly become a remarkable service at no cost. Don't underestimate its potential just because it happens to be free. I know a 23-years old dropout from UK who has made 5 figures income solely by using blogspot.com!

2. Just Start Writing

A few days ago, my friend told me that he wanted to create a blog about his flute career, but was too afraid to write because he thought he had poor writing skills. That was indeed a BIG mistake on his part! Remember that when it comes to blogging you don't need to concern yourself too much about perfect grammar or spelling!

Keep in mind that you are writing for common people, not for a doctrinal paper. When you write your blog posts, you should write in a conversational tone – as if you are talking to your best friend!

3. Be the Authority in Your Field of Expertise

Don't try to be the jack of all trades; instead, be the master of ONE subject or niche! With 100 millions blog being published every day, it is easy for your blog to get lost in the crowd, unless your blog provides unique content to your audience.
This is the reason why you will want to focus on one or two things you know best. After writing on your niche for several years, you will become an authority figure on the subject and become famous in your niche! When that happens, people will know where to find you whenever they need your advice on that subject or niche!

4. Write When You Want To

Some people will advise you to write blog every day in order to get the maximum results. As a matter of fact, this is simply not the case! It is your content that makes people read, rather than the frequency of your posting!

5. Content Is King

Don't concern yourself too much with unnecessary details such as your name, URL, or images. Images are useful to explain your post but if your blog post contains too many unrelated images, they will do more harm than good!

6. Find Ideas from Others' Blogs

It might be a good idea to visit several popular blogs on your topic or niche. You can find a list of such blogs from technorati.com. In this way you will be able to know what kind of writing style or posting frequency works best in your niche.
