As I mention on the FTR Insiders Club page, I am in the business of finding the cream-of-the-crop in training, resources, and tools that I know will help a lot of people if they only had the time to locate the exceptional links.
I can’t just share everything I find. Some stuff is just too good to give away. I don’t have an advertising site. That’s not my model. So I keep some stuff back and share it with my Tribe only.
When I have built up enough interesting links for a post, I will put it up for you to devour. But only if you are a member of the Indisder’s Club. Otherwise, what you see below is, well, encouragement to become a member instead of the links and resources I’m going to be sharing there.
Am I going to abandon the free part of the Friday Traffic Report and hoard everything I find? Absolutely not! Expect the same amount and value of content you’ve come to expect on the free side.
But if you want to get in on the most timely, most consistently great stuff I find in my full-time travels around the web, along with some of the stuff people send me daily, you gotta get in here!
