This article is for existing Cognigen agents and anyone who would like to become a Cognigen agent and market telecommunications products and services. Cognigen is free to join and offers great products for reasonable costs.

I am a very happy member of Ultimate Rep, a program designed primarily to market Cognigen’s products and services.

Kevin Anderson, the founder of Cognigen Networks, is the brains behind the Ultimate Rep program.

Let me say now that unlike some of the programs I recommend, I’m not sure Cognigen and Ultimate Rep are for everyone.

Some programs are easy to promote, such as GDI or BringYourBuddy, but Cognigen concerns telecommunications products such as cell phones, Internet access, broadband, VoIP, webhosting, domain registration, and other similar services. It takes quite a bit of work for a new agent to “learn the ropes” and feel comfortable with everything Cognigen offers.

Likewise, Ultimate Rep is a rather complicated program and will take some time and effort to really make use of it. However, once you’ve got everything set up, it offers some powerful tools to promote your Cognigen business and several other income programs. If you work your Ultimate Rep promotions diligently, you can build several residual income streams, in addition to Cognigen.

When Ultimate Rep was first announced, it was a requirement that all members had to be paid members of Empowerism, because Empowerism had an excellent autoresponder with 18 followup messages.

Empowerism announced around the beginning of August that they were discontinuing their autoresponder service, and, as a result, Kevin announced that Ultimate Rep members no longer had to be paid members of Empowerism.

That means that Ultimate Rep is now completely free to join and you can use it to promote Cognigen and any of the other programs you choose. This should make it a bit more attractive to people who did not want to join Empowerism.

Kevin announced that he is personally writing the code for an autoresponder that will do the followup to prospects who inquire about Ultimate Rep. This means that the messages can be customized even better to promote Ultimate Rep.

So, although it is causing some disruption and means more work for Kevin, I think that this is a very positive change for Ultimate Rep.

If you’ve been on the fence, now you can get a free membership and see what’s going on with Ultimate Rep from the inside.

I now recommend that all Cognigen agents get a free membership in Ultimate Rep. You don’t have to join anything you don’t want, and, like Cognigen, you don’t have to pay to be a member.

Don’t wait, go get it.

It’s been several months since I was able to turn my attention back to this website and to attempt to catch up with the news and marketing of communications products.

I had already decided I was going to change the entire site and rid myself of PHP-Nuke. Ever since I installed it on this site and a couple of others, I’ve been plagued with hackers and spammers. Yesterday morning, I looked at the site and it had been hacked, again, and that was the last straw.

I backed up and downloaded the database and deleted everything on the site. I installed a current version of WordPress and decided to use the new Zipsense theme developed by the great folks at Got-Zip.com.

It’s different from any other theme I’ve used, so I’ll have to get used to it and learn how to work with it to the best advantage with this site and the posts I’ll be adding to this blog over time.

Normally, I like to show at least ten messages on the home page, but I’m going to try using only the most recent two messages and see how it works.

Hopefully, the problem with hacking will be lessened and I won’t have to always redo everything, but we know that change is a constant.

From this point forward, I will not be using PHP-Nuke for a content management system or PHPBB as a forum on any of my sites. I have one last forum powerd by PHPBB on another site that needs to be eliminated and then maybe I can turn my attention to doing what I want to be doing, which is learning about communications products and services that offer great value for a reasonable price.

I’ll turn my attention back to that starting with my next posting.

I apologize for the disruption and all the changes, but, hopefully, I think it will be for the best.
