				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since August 2012, I have taken a major switch in the way I do affiliate marketing.  I rarely create web pages and blogs to promote products, but instead make videos and upload them to YouTube.  I never imaged the results.  In just 7 months, I have created a steady 5 figure monthly income just from the videos I have posted on YouTube.</p>
<p>And the best part is that it only took about 25 videos to get me there!  YouTube videos rank very well in Google and if you slap them with a few backlinks, they rank even higher.  Since YouTube is the second largest search engine, I also make sure that my videos get ranked in the top of there also which greatly increases my results.</p>
<p>So is video marketing the way of the future?  A couple days ago, I requested to partner with a company to promote their products.  They asked that I show them some results of my marketing.  So I made a video detailing how I market with YouTube and showed them some of my results.  Here was the reply I got back:</p>
<p><strong><em>Awesome. Thanks.  Great video! I believe your methods are right on the leading edge of where affiliate marketing should be headed.</em></strong></p>
<p>My advice is that if you are in affiliate marketing, then get involved with video marketing.  There are many courses out there that will teach you how to do it, just search Google.  If you want a thorough, in-depth course on video marketing, then I suggest you <strong><a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/vta" target="_blank">check out this course</a></strong> that got me started here.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Best-Premium-WordPress-Themes.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-44" alt="Best Premium WordPress Themes" src="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Best-Premium-WordPress-Themes.png" width="200" height="154" /></a>I wanted to write this article to help you select a premium WordPress theme.  Sure there are many free themes available, but most of them don&#8217;t offer the features and necessary code to make your site really stand out.</p>
<p>Over the years, I have purchased more WordPress themes than I can count and it seems I keep going back to same place to buy them.  But before I get into that, I want to share with you what to look for in a premium WP theme.</p>
<h2>What To Look For In a Premium WordPress Theme</h2>
<p><strong>Features and Options</strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;re not experienced with <a href="http://www.tizag.com/cssT/" target="_blank">editing CSS code</a>, then you want to find a WP template that has options for you to make simple changes to the theme without you editing the code.  Adjusting CSS styles will allow you to personalize your theme to the colors and styles that fit your online business.</p>
<p><strong>Proper Coding</strong> &#8211; Many WP themes, especially the free ones are not coded properly for all web browsers.  The lack of coding can also cause the theme to load slowly which can have a big impact on your search rankings as Google favors WordPress themes that are fast loading.</p>
<p><strong>Widgets and Sidebars</strong> &#8211; Make sure the theme you want to buy has sidebars where you need them.  Most premium WP themes today give you the option to move the sidebars from the left to the right or leave both.  If you want to place Ads or Adsense on your blog, make sure there are places to add it.  Many themes make this very easy by just asking for your Ad code and it does the rest.</p>
<p><strong>Support</strong> &#8211; I can&#8217;t stress this enough, especially if you are not familiar with coding.  When you buy a premium WP theme, most of their support forums will be able to answer any question you have on customizing your theme to your preference.  You may also be able to hire a WP coder to make adjustments for you.</p>
<p>These are the basics that I recommend you look for.  Today, WP themes are easier to customize with the options included, but knowing the basics of CSS styles can really help you to personalize to your blog.</p>
<h2>Best Premium WordPress Theme Recommendations</h2>
<p>The themes I&#8217;m recommending here are intended to be used for blog/magazine style sites as well as business related.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/studiopress" target="_blank"><strong>StudioPress</strong></a> &#8211; These are top of the line premium WP themes.  I use about 5 different themes they offer for some of my other blogs.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/theme-junkie" target="_blank">Theme-Junkie</a></strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m using the <a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/fresh-life" target="_blank">FreshLife</a> theme from Theme Junkie on this blog.  These themes are cheaper and yet very professional.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are a couple other places you can buy WP themes for specific types of sites.  These include agency themes, wp coupon themes, auction themes, comparison themes, WordPress directory themes, real estate WP themes, classifieds, job listings and more.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/premium-press" target="_blank"><strong>Premium Press</strong></a> &#8211; These are excellent themes loaded with many functions and features at a very reasonable price.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/app-themes" target="_blank"><strong>App Themes</strong></a> &#8211; Another site that offers many of the same types of theme with a different style.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many more places to find great premium themes, but these are a few I have used and had great success with.  All the themes provided by the listed sites above offer great support and continuous updates and enhancements.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is the start of a new way of marketing.  Previously, I used this domain as a way to promote affiliate products from websites such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.clickbank.com" target="_blank">Clickbank</a> and other affiliate networks.  A few hours ago, I wiped everything off the site and started with a new theme I <a href="http://www.chrisderenberger.com/theme/fresh" target="_blank">found here</a>.</p>
<p>I figured it would work nicely with the way I&#8217;m wanting to share information and videos on many of the methods and strategies I use every day for affiliate and video marketing on <a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>You will NEVER get emails from me where I promote marketing products like many of the affiliate marketers do today.  This website will be strictly for the use sharing my online experiences with you.  This will include marketing strategy videos and &#8220;walk-through&#8217;s&#8221; of SEO and online marketing services and software I use to build my business.</p>
<p>I hope you find this site useful and will be loading it will incredible content soon.</p>
