OIOpublisher, the best advertising platform out there, has released version 2.0 just a few days ago! If you don’t know what OIOpublisher is, then you missed my post on how I made $150 in 2 days by installing OIOpublisher. Basically, if you have a site (whether if it’s a blog or not) and you want to make money selling direct advertisements, you need this ad platform. It is what I use to sell all types of advertising here on SlyVisions, and is used by most well-known bloggers in the blogosphere. It makes selling ads very easy and attracts advertisers like magnet, all done in auto-pilot. And for the power that it has, you would think that this would be worth hundreds of dollars. But it’s not. For a one-time payment of $47, you get everything that this powerful ad platform has to offer.

Awesome Features

With the new 2.0 update, there are now much more awesome features added to the original list. Here is the main list of features that it has to offer:

• Keep 100% of the what you sell your ads for!
• Have complete control over your ads
• Your advertising platform runs on auto-pilot
• Integrate the ad platform with any website (not just Wordpress) that uses PHP
• Purchase/account pages are now templated, editable within the admin area
• Text links are now controlled via zones (like banner ads)
• Performance improvements - various caching options available (more to come)
• Full javascript ad display support
• Entrecard payment option integrated

If you already bought OIOpublisher, great! You just need to download the new version and upload it to your site. If you don’t have OIOpublisher yet and want to get it, I have good news for you!

Special Discount For SlyVisions Readers

OIOpublisher has given me a coupon code that will slash of $17 from the original price. This makes the price for SlyVisions readers only $30! All you need to do is enter the coupon code “SlyVisions” in the coupon field on your purchase. It will automatically remove $17 off the purchase price. Oh, and if you plan to get OIOpublisher, you need to get it now! This special discount is open only until (and including) October 7!

If you decide to pass this up, you are making a big mistake. Any webmaster who owns a blog or any site that runs advertising NEEDS this ad platform. Remember, it helped me make $150 in 2 days. If you do things right, you can make more than what I did.

Click here to purchase OIOpublisher. You only have until October 7th before the coupon code expires!

I found something really cool today that you I know for sure bloggers like you are going to love. It’s called Odiogo. What it does is that it converts your whole blog into a podcast ready for anybody to listen, download, and/or subscribe. What’s really cool about Odiogo is that it’s actually a high-quality tool that makes text-to-speech sound as realistic as possible. Well, it’s not that realistic, but the way it works is just unbelievable. It sounds like an actual person talking, and not a robot that reads everything word for word.

Try It Out

Before you use it for your blog, go ahead and visit this going green website called Green Experience. Then click any post that you would like to read. But stop! Don’t read the post! Instead, click the button at the first line that says “Listen Now”. Then just listen as the Odiogo player reads to you the whole post. Looks cool doesn’t it?

Getting Started

Using Odiogo is pretty simple, as it is compatible with all blog platforms that publish RSS feeds like Typepad, Blogger, Moveable Type, and WordPress. Just go to the Odiogo homepage, submit your blog/RSS information and email, then all the information will be sent to you, which includes the link to your Odiogo podcast page (click here to see the SlyVisions podcast page). Oh, and did I mention that Odiogo integrates your blog podcast on iTunes? That’s right. Your blog can be subscribed through by your readers as a podcast on right iTunes! Now don’t tell me that’s not cool.

One last thing. If you’re site is hosted with WordPress, you can download the Odiogo plugin that is included with the email so that your readers can listen to the podcast version of each post right on your blog. It’s just like how you saw it from the Green Experience. The only thing I don’t like about this plugin is that it puts an Odiogo player on every post of your blog. For the readers, seeing this “Listen Now” button on every blog post would get really annoying. Meanwhile, for bloggers like me, it would simply just add too much clutter on the blog. A good idea would be to test it out on your blog for a few days and ask your readers to see how the like it. If they don’t mind seeing the button everywhere, keep it. If it annoys the hell out of them, then it’s time for it to go.

Anyway, don’t forget to subscribe to my iTunes podcast!  Click here to subscribe.

There has been some server issues over at my server for the past few hours, so for those trying to connect to this site, I apologize. It is now back (and hopefully will stay that way).

By the way, I hate downtime. DreamHost, if you do this to me again, I’m going to have to transfer over to a new web host!

Seriously.

Welcome to the new and improved SlyVisions dot Com… version 3! Oh, and I’m not trying to copy John Chow by the way by using the term “version 3″. This really is the third time that I’ve changed themes ever since I moved this blog to WordPress. I thought the second time was going to be the “last time for a long time”, but according to some of my readers and readers from another blog, it was time for a change.
