With that said, please note:

**You Will Need To Have PHP5 Installed On Your Server**

Most hosting companies have upgraded their servers to PHP5 but please double check with your hosting company before you upgrade.

Here are more insights regarding this release…

Download Instructions:

You can download the latest version of WishList Member from within your WishList Member Dashboard.  You will see a link to the latest version.

Here is a sample screenshot:

Best practices include…

1)  Deactivating WLM first (you’re settings won’t be lost).

2)  Unzip the WLM zip file.

3)  Upload the “wishlist-member” folder to your WP plugins folder.

This will overwrite the old version (don’t worry, your settings will still be there!).  If you’re uploading using an FTP program, make sure your “transfer type” settings are “Binary” and NOT “ASCII”.

4)  Then activate WLM in your plugins.

MP3 Download – Interview with Dan Ariely (Predictably Irrational)

Recently we had the privilege of speaking to New York Times Best-Selling Author Dan Ariely.

And we’d like to give you the entire interview absolutely FREE

Here’s the backstory on why you’ll want to listen to this…

Intro To Dan Ariely

Dan is a professor of behavioral economics at Duke University – he basically studies people and the decisions they make.

I know what you’re thinking… how does this effect me?  Am I right?

Well, if you know how and why people make certain decisions you immediately gain a HUGE advantage as far as how to position your products, improve the customer experience and increase your sales.

During this interview we talk to Dan about how the results from his research can help all small business owners.  For example, in Part 1 of this interview you’ll learn:

• Why a “decoy option” can immediately improve your subscription sales
• How to design a highly effective sales environment
• Freemium or not?  We’ll let Dan’s research answer that one
• The effect of “FREE” and how it leads to completely irrational decision making
• Why social media is playing a much larger role in buying habits – and what to do about it.
• Dan’s brand new research into the effect Brand Names have on our product “perceptions”
• Why paying employees (or contract workers) big bonuses doesn’t always work (and what to do instead)
• and much more!

Dan Ariely – Predictably Irrational

(Part 2 of this interview will be conducted soon)

No matter what type of business you’re running, you’ll always have more success by having a greater understanding of your customers.

If you know their preferences, you can tailor your products to grab their interest.

If you know the challenges they face, you can create solutions to help.

But what if you knew WHY your customers make certain decisions?  Then, you could naturally align what you have with their needs as shown by the decisions they make.

This is the reason the book “Predictably Irrational” grabbed our attention and when New York Times Best-Selling author Dan Ariely released the follow up book “The Upside of Irrationality”, we knew we wanted to ask him more.

But we need your help.

We want to include YOUR questions as well so leave your questions for Dan in the comments below and we’ll try our best to work as many as we can into the interview
