Thank you all who responded to the feedback request on the Wordpress MLM Theme. I have started to implement portions of the feedback. The first that I did was include the Author Page.
The idea behind an Author Page is to display & promote all the members in the network. Moreover, if all your MLM networking members have their own websites, it is a good way to link your MLM blog to their website as well.
No ads have been placed on the Author Page so that readers can concentrate on the profile itself. However, it is still open to your feedback.
If most of you give me the feedback that there is a need for additional ads on the Author Profile page, I might just go ahead & include one.
There are a couple of options that I can think of:
1. You display a general ad, or an affiliate ad similar to what is there on the theme header or the top of posts
2. Authors can display their own specific ad on their profile
3. Random ads – rotate ads from one profile page to another
4. Include special links like they appear as Sponsored Links on each posts or search result pages
Please send me your feedback as to what is it that you think should be the best.
This is how a typical Author Page would look like. It has the option of displaying the picture of the author. In case there is no picture, it will show a dummy image.
All that the users need to do is to upload a 100 x 100 px square image (or could be slightly more than that) and save it in the “uploads” directory by the name of user_id.jpg. Going by the user_ID ensures that there will be no duplicate images.
The Author page shows only the Author’s website & Email address for now. But it can be designed to show other IDs like the Yahoo! Messenger ID, Google Talk ID, Jabber ID etc (that is all the data that the user is required to set up on their Wordpress Profile page).
I am still looking for feedback on the new Wordpress MLM Theme, so if you are a MLM business owner or an Affiliate Marketer, your feedback will help me design & give out a good MLM Theme.
If you found this helpful & interesting, please share this on your networks too!
