Now, that's what I call passive. This is the site that you OBI members have come to know pretty well. Someone asked me the other day how much time I was spending on the site each week (which actually made me feel a little guilty because I hadn't spent time on it at all!).

I put up a couple of posts last June, 13 posts last August, and only one post (a short one - less than 500 words) between then and now.

- Traffic reports
- Sales reports
- What plug-ins I'm using
- Site speed reports
- Clicks to Amazon
- Numbers of products sold
- Backlink data
- Post counts
- Average word counts per post
- How many affiliate links I'm using on posts
- The competition for the niche

Anything I could come up with that would help someone else compare notes and maybe find where there site doesn't line up and might be struggling is in the package. I don't share the URL for the site but you'll learn a lot, I believe, from the numbers and set up. (Maybe you're not struggling but you want to see where your site EXCELS! That would be useful info, too.)! o) ^2 Q+ E# c) J
In addition the entire set of 23 assignments that I've given to my one-on-one coaching students is included. Now, you don't get my over-the-shoulder I'm-watching-your-every-move support with this package (of course, that may sometimes drive my students nuts) but you get darn close for a lot less.

Then there are 3 bonuses:
- One of my coaching students, Rochelle, learned so much that she put together an entire PDF on what she learned, mistakes she made, AND (I love this part) tips she uses to get the work done more quickly. She's really developed some great methods for pushing her site along and she's shared them in an easy to read, easy to follow PDF.
- The top questions asked by the coaching students (and my responses) like "How on earth are we going to rank without building tons of backlinks?" (You know who you are and I've loved every discussion!)
- The free plug-ins and settings I use to speed up my site response time (Yup - the settings you can put into that complicated W3 Total Cacheplug-in)

You know me - I could keep writing but then you'll miss out on the early dime-sale pricing so that's it. If you want to read more you can find the package here:
