The video at the end of this post details the bonus plugin I’m including as part of this low cost release of this latest Multiple Streams Theme later today.
Now I know I didn’t have to do this and that I could have released the plugin and templates seperately. There’s certainly a market for these I now know for sure. But rather than do that, and the fact that it’s coming up to the season of goodwill and all that…
🙂
…I decided to include this plugin with MST004.
A bit mad I know, and it’s like throwing money away, but what the heck. 😉
Last week I released the other half of this plugin which allows you to add sales pages to any of your WordPress blogs, which will then survive theme updates and changes.
This half of the plugin does the same thing, but the difference being it allows you to add new subscriber squeeze pages to your blogs.
If you’re not sure what a squeeze page is, it’s a page that is designed to “squeeze” the name and email address from a visitor. ie turn that visitor into a prospect with the final aim being of turning them into a customer.
We’re getting there, step by step… 😉
And as you’re a subscriber I’m more than happy to reward that you’re here with me by giving you the very best deals at each step of the way towards that total marketing machine.
This is what I’m going to do.
The FIRST FIFTY sales of MST004 will include the bonus plugin at just $10 for both the theme and the plugin. Outstanding value I know.
(Update: Now at $12.50)
After that, I’m putting the price up to $12.50 for the next fifty, then $17 until the full MST site is live (just a couple of hurdles to jump) together with the affiliate scheme (which I’m being bugged for), and then the theme will be set at $27 without the bonus plugin.
Does that sound more than fair? I’ll just recap.
1-50 = $10.00
51-100 = $12.50
100-??? = $17.00
Site live = $27.00 but no bonus templates.
It’s a cracking theme – our best yet – and there’s a bonus plugin with templates included.
Fantastic…
There’s just one downside to this plugin, and I’ll come clean with you about it now.
You can’t yet run it at the same time as the sales page plugin we released last week. This is because it uses the same method and there’s a clash.
Here’s what we’re going to do to fix it in January…
We’ll release a new unified plugin to everyone for free.
You then install and activate it and copy ALL your templates into the /templates/ directory and the plugin will auto-recognise which ones are squeeze page templates, and which ones are sales page templates.
You’ll then find that instead of a single drop-down, there will be a choice of two, selected by a radio button. You then select which type of page you’re creating and the templates for that page type will appear.
Okay?
I think I’ve already mentioned this here on this blog, but what we want to do is provide a single method of adding many page templates to your blog which survive theme updates and changes, and which is a standard method that all designer / developer types can use to create their own template packs.
In the new year the plugin will be free (and always will be), but we’ll charge for the templates. 😉
Today you’ll be getting five squeeze page templates as a free bonus when you buy MST004.
The sale will go live at 6.00pm GMT (1.00pm EST) today, Friday 10th December.
I’ll add a new post at that time together with the payment link and send you an email.
And finally, here’s the video of the bonus plugin and templates.

Wow! I love what that plugin can do. I am crap at making sqeeze pages from scratch and believe me i have tried many times, but i just cannot get the hang of it. Maybe it is because my brain is too old and cannot retain the information of coding.
I now have to wait another three hours and ten minutes to get it. I will be a nervous reck by that time with anticipation..
@Vince Andrews:
Hehe. I agree. There’s loads of little things I need to do too, but don’t have a clue as to how to start. This makes it a LOT easier for all of us.

Great plugin, as usual 🙂
I have a couple of questions though:
Can I modify the templates to support RTL?
Can I add Java scripts or php code to manipulate data into the optin form? (I need to add “referral code” into the registration data).
Ely
@Ely Shemer:
Thank you. Hmm, what’s RTL? Is that Right To Left or something else?
Yes for js or PHP code as you’re just pasting in the raw HTML for your optin box that you’d get from your autoresponder service or software anyway.
You’ve just made me think though that it might be a good idea to add in a box so you can add tracking code to the pages. While owning and using my Scripts Manager plugin is the best solution, I guess it would be nice if we could also offer an alternative that’s part of the plugin.

This is great, Frank! I have been looking to add a squeeze page to some of my sites and I really didn’t know the best, and quickest way to do it. This plugin will make it simple. I look forward to getting and using it.
@Derek Taylor:
It’s really cool isn’t it? I’m so glad we came up with this as it makes everybody’s life easier…
-Frank
G’day Frank,
Really Good Stuff I believe strongly in this plugin I have really enjoyed using it in it’s first outing (xmas templates) and now it’s going the next step.
I am sure by the time this plugin gets sorted it will become one of the most desirable wants for anyone running a blog.
Regards
Rob P.
@Rob Paris:
I flipping well hope so. Throw in that the plugin itself is/will be free and that we’ll probably release a basic sales and squeeze page with it, and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t go ballistic.
And you were one of the first to know about it. 😉

Hello Fank…
Truly this getting better and better.
This theme is creme-de-la-cream !
Only…
How can I order it?
I see no order button anywhere???
Or link or anything?
@Free Maverix:

BTW, I just read your article:-
http://freemaverix.com/glitches-loopholes/
You’ve absolutely hit the nail on the head there. Your article is something I’ve wanted to write for quite a while but didn’t know how to approach it. I think you’ve summed it all up very eloquently.
I’m going to link to that article with my own thoughts and send an email out about it, so it might be a good idea to have an autoresponder sign up box on your site very soon. 😉

Hi, I have the prior Multiple Streams Themes, do I need to purchase this one, or do I get an update?
Thanks,
Carolyn
@Carolyn:
The themes are all individually designed, and with each release we also include new features, so yes it is another purchase, not an update. At a suitable time, I *will* be asking the designer to retro-fit earlier themes to include some of the new features where possible, and there’ll be no charge for those updates.
