The Arrogant Alchemist Archives

Welcome, Everybody!

I had almost decided I wasn’t going to do this post today.  In fact, I’m having a difficult time even thinking about this Battledome right now.  Let me explain what’s going on here on my desk right now.

Welcome, Everybody!

As you all know, we’ve been talking about Membership Sites here and how to use PLR products as a foundation on which to build your membership site.  And it seems to be a pretty hot topic of conversation, both here at The ‘Dome and on the Warrior Forum as well.  We all have different topics that we watch for on the Forum and one of mine is PLR.  I like to buy it, I like to use it, and I like to see what other people are doing with it.

A lot of the WSOs I’m seeing tell you to take a PLR product, like an ebook that tells you how to create a blog, and break that ebook down into bite size pieces and drip feed those pieces out, over a period of time, to the members who have joined your site.  And that’s all well and good.  That’s how I learned blogging.  Way back when, I joined The Niche Blogger membership site.  And that’s what The Arrogant Alchemist is selling with HIS WSO.

DO NOT Create a “Membership Site”!

Some of you may know that I’ve written “The Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Start A Membership Site”, and the ebook “Start a Membership Site in 24 Hours!”.  I’m also the crazy programmer who created the Micro-Membership WordPress plugin – the same software that Donna is using do demolish the abominable Alchemist.

So, why would would I tell you NOT to create a “membership site” – especially when this BattleDome challenge is all about membership sites?  It could be:

  • because I’m crazy – a conclusion that most folks who know me came to some time ago.
  • because I’m misleading you – nope. I’m being straight-up with you… honest!
  • because I don’t really mean what you think I mean.

Welcome, Warriors!

Well, the big day is finally here.  My desk is finally clear and there’s nothing on my calendar until next week, so I’ve got my overalls on (really…I’m still in my jammies, but “overalls” makes it sound like I’m working so much harder, doesn’t it?) and I’m ready to pick up my paint brush and get started next door.  And I better get moving if I expect to make that 5 Grand by the end of the month!

Good Morning, Warriors!

Let me make on thing perfectly clear – The Battledome will always be FREE FRONT ROW SEATING FOR EVERYONE! You may have seen the comments on yesterday’s Battle, and that’s one of the things I was afraid of with this Challenge.  Yes, I am showing you how to set up a Membership Site.  But it is NOT for the Battledome.  Rest assured, ladies and gentlemen, you will never be asked to pay admission to enter the ‘Dome!

Welcome, Warriors!

Wow!  I can’t believe how long it’s been since that dastardly villian, The Arrogant Alchemist, and I first met here in the dome.  I just looked back and Novemeber 25th was our opening round!  I should have had this guy in the bag by now!

Welcome Warriors!

When someone mentions the word “Alchemist” it brings to mind images of Merlin and magic and mysticism.  We picture ancient magicians and warlocks, bent over bubbling cauldrons, murmuring incantations and tossing in newt eyes and bat wings, in the vain attempt to turn lead into gold.
