Many people ask me about converting a Wordpress site to match the XSitePro website. If you install them both on the same domain (which works really well for salesletter sites) then you may wish to integrate them together.
Luckily some active XSitepro enthusiasts have put together a great package for this and it is called XSiteProToWordpress.com
XSitePro 2 just got more features
Paul Smithson sent out the latest news:
STEP 1: Click the "Start" button on your Windows taskbar
STEP 2: View "All programs"
STEP 3: From the XSitePro2 Start Menu Folder, select "AutoUpdater"
STEP 4: From the Auto-Updater window that appears, click "Next" to start the update
STEP 5: Confirm the update(s) you would like to install and click "Next"
STEP 6: Finally, follow any on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Keeping your copy of XSitePro up-to-date in this way ensures you have the complete set of tools at your fingertips, when creating or editing your sites.
Wishing you every success
Paul

First you need to clearly define who your target audience is.
You really need to look at niche marketing as problem solving. You want to find a market where there are people looking for solutions. The example is a business owner. What business owner is interested in ways to make more profit?
I imagine it should be all of them.
They will endlessly seek solutions to business problems with passion and even irrationally. Think also about beauty for women, golf, finance for people with poor credit etc……they are hungry for more info, they never get full, and they are self motivated to find out more.
Now you have an idea about who your target may be, can you get to them easily?
Yes, they must be easy to reach. Can you advertise to them in a trade ezine? Are they members of a forum? Do they have newsgroups?
Make sure your market has money.
If you are selling to people who have no money you are wasting your time. How do you tell who has money or not?

Membership sites are really in vogue at the moment.
I just finished reading a very good report about how to set up your own membership site on a recurring paypal membreship basis. Soon I will be releasing my membership case study.
Do you think your niche would support a membership site built with XSitePro?
You can have a once off fee with content & affiliate recommendations or a monthly fee style with high content updated regularly and a forum etc…
All you really need to do is make a password protected folder and email a password each month from your autoresponder service.
