The End of an Era, But the Start of Something Magical

Today has been bitter-sweet. It feels like the end of an era. For the last 14 years I’ve been running IdeaMarketers.com (a content directory) that has become the primary bread-and-butter producer for our family. In October I took a bold step and removed 3 million articles from the site and kept only submissions from authors I knew I could trust to contribute quality content. That move cost me financially, but I knew it was what I had to do.

Since that time, I’ve gone into production on a new site that is 100% aligned with my passion for shifting the planet in a positive direction by fostering messages that matter.

Today, I officially closed the doors on IdeaMarketers.com, flipped the switch, and am now routing all IdeaMarketers traffic to IgnitePoint.com . IgnitePoint.com is all about showing you how to ignite your WOW! It’s about assisting Light Bearers in identifying, packaging, promoting and building community around their core messages.

If you’re wondering why I’d make such a bold leap of faith, this 2-minute video shares why.

Points to ponder… (or comment on):

  • What are you feeling called to do?
  • What message would you deliver if you new you could reach a half a million people with it?
  • How can you more fully follow your passion?
  • What would you have to give up or walk away from to step 100% into your passion?
  • What’s holding you back?

  1. Alignment, both internal and external, bring giant rewards. Congratulations on this giant leap into your full passion -playing a game that brings you exquisite joy! May it be all you imagined, hoped, and dreamed – and more!

  2. Love it! YOU are a magnificent LIGHT-BEARER, my sweet friend.
    Congratulations on your shift.
    Love you,
    Paula Fellingham (The WIN)

    1. Thank you so much Paula! You’ve been a great role model for me in following your passion through thick and thin! Let’s roll up our sleeves and light up the world together! 🙂

  3. Marnie, you have always been a pioneer, and you are well-equipped as one now. You well know that the search engines are not your source, and that you are securely connected to your source in something more tangible than any secure socket layer!!! You are an inspiration to many people, Marnie, in this decision to change course as much as your long success when things were new and adventurous on the web. Thanks for showing us all the way, yet again.

    1. Thank you, Mia! You’re absolutely right that “the search engines are not [my] source!” Thank you for articulating that. As much as I seek to do that, it never hurts to acknowledge it more! 🙂 Blessings to you!

  4. Congratulations on your new journey, Marnie! I hope you will bring more light into your life and others while pursuing your new path. I’m sad to see Idea Marketers go away since, like so many others, I’ve sent many clients and others to this site. I look forward to perusing IgnitePoint and maybe it will give me more inspiration to do more.
    Blessings, Bea

    1. Thanks Bea! If you’re still working with nonfiction authors, educators and consultants, then IgnitePoint will be a great resource for your audience. These are the people I’ve built the site for — especially those who are creating materials that transform lives.

  5. Your passion and excitement are contagious, Marnie. You are, indeed, modeling a path for all of us to reach deeper, pull our light out from under the bushel, and letting it shine more brightly than we ever dreamed possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  6. How exciting Marnie…this new focus feels really exciting. I love the site! Absolutely LOVE the quality of the information. So much so I had to actually pull myself away this morning…LOL… I am feeling inspired and supported and ready to get back to work on my WOW. Thank you for demonstrating what it looks like to courageously shift and step into your brilliance.

  7. You’re a brave soul. I spent about 15 minutes on the IgnitePoint.com website and I think it’s going to be a big hit.

    I wish you the best 🙂

  8. Hi Marnie,

    I am so excited for you on your new journey. I have been following you for a long time and can’t wait to see this one explode for the betterment of all mankind. You are such a blessing!

  9. What a wonderful direction! I wish you much success and hope I can find a way to plug in (perhaps with some great content about going green/green marketing).

    I just went to ignitepoint and gave my e-address, since I’m closing the one you had for ideamarketers.

  10. sorry to see you go but happy that you’re pursuing your dreams. I hope you do checkin every now and then to let us know how you’re doing. Keep us posted

  11. Gosh Marnie this is wonderful. I applaud you willingness to move forward and take such a huge step. It gives me courage to do some step moving myself! : )
