INTRODUCING

The Get Noticed! for WordPress Theme

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to my free email updates. For a limited time, I will give you a copy of my brand new e-book, Creating Your Personal Life Plan, just for subscribing! You may also want to follow me on Twitter.

I am about to launch my own premium WordPress theme. It is called Get Noticed! and is based on the principles I share in my New York Times bestseller, Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World.

Andrew Buckman, my web developer, and I built this theme from the ground up. Our goal was to create a theme for anyone wanting to build a personal brand. This includes authors, comedians, speakers, pastors, and corporate executives.

Here are just a few of the features we’ve baked in:

Fourteen different custom Mini-Posts—announcements, books, events, photos, slides, videos, and more. This enables you to share resources without writing a full blog post.
A custom Social Sharebar that not only makes it super-easy for your readers to share your posts on their favorite social networks, but also prominently displays the share counts, providing powerful social authority.
A custom Recruitment Form that enables you to collect e-mail addresses and build your mailing list. This is essential if you are going to build your platform. (Check out the top of the sidebar to see this in action now.)
Several new Sidebar Widgets, so you don’t have to install these as plugins. These include a Social Reach widget, Follow Me widget, Popular Posts, Upcoming Events, and Favorite quotes. (Check out the sidebar to see these in action now.)
A specially designed Landing Page Template, that gives you the option of eliminating the navigation that distracts your prospects from buying. It includes a spot for a Countdown widget (for time-limited offers), Buy Buttons for major retailers, Guarantees, and Testimonials. (Here’s an example.)
A built-in Event Calendar, which is perfect for public speakers, entertainers, and artists. It automatically pulls in the Event mini-posts and lists them in date order. You can place a list in the sidebar or on your speaking page.
A Promotional Footer that enables you to redeem this otherwise forgotten real estate to promote your top links, services, products, and resources—or anything else you want. Scroll to the bottom of this page for examples.
And lots more …

We’ve also made use of the latest web technologies, so that the theme is responsive and beautiful, whether your readers access your blog via the web, iPad, iPhone, Android, or any other mobile device.

Now that we’ve launched the theme on my site, we will move to our first round of beta testing. We hope to launch the theme in a few months.

If you’d like to be notified when the theme is released, please sign-up below. I won’t use this mailing list for any other purpose.

Please note: I reserve the right to delete comments that are snarky, offensive, or off-topic. If in doubt, read My Comments Policy.

Like the others, I am excited to see this theme in action on my blog. Will the email list signup be compatible with list managing tools like mailchimp?

Hey Mike, would this allow someone to get rid of subscriber plugins and Feedburner?

This “responsive site” looks like it does everything I wanted to build into my new site. Any idea when this theme will be available? I see you’ve replied to this question a lot… Sorry. I just bought Standard and I’m about to go to work using it (for now).

Best of luck. I know you want this new theme to launch as much as I do…

Nice theme! I found you when looking for information on affiliate disclosure statements, etc. I see you are speaking at my Alma Mater on the 4th of Feb! Go Flames! :)
Looking forward to more info on your theme – as mine is in need of an overhaul! :)
Thanks again for all you do!

Any idea when your new theme will be available? I really like the look and functionality. My concern is that I may have issues changing from my current theme. I hope not.
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  Thanks you’re your interest. We have not announced a release date yet. However, we are in private beta and making good progress. It will still likely be a few months from now.

  No, we have not. If you want to stay updated, fill out the form at the end of this post. Thanks.

Sir, I love this theme! I received your email and will be one of the first to buy. You appear to have taken away the frustration of finding just the right plugins to make a theme work the way it should.

Hey Michael,

Love the theme. Wondering what e-commerce you are using for your store? It isn’t mentioned in your Tools list and doesn’t seem to be something the theme is going to do either. Just wondered how you handled secure downloads and sales processing with your theme.

  Right now, I am using 1ShoppingCart. Thanks.

We’re up to 98 comments on this post as of this writing. Everyone wants Michael Hyatt’s website theme, and for the life of me, I just can’t understand why.

Did you read “Platform”? If you did, you know you have to find your own “voice” in your writing and build your own “platform”.

Now just take a moment, please, and think about this. Do you really think having Michael’s theme on your blog is going to make you like Michael–or that suddenly you will become a popular blogger? In “Platform”, Micheal explains that the most important aspect of your blog is “compelling content”.

So, go ahead. Get the his theme–and see what happens. In other words, without compelling content, it won’t make a difference which [good] theme you are using.

And for all you Christians out there (of which I am one), please stop trying to be Michael Hyatt. God’s already got one of him.

For the record, I use a Standard 3 child theme that resembles the “look” of this site. Secondly, I’ll be surprised if this post is not deleted. It certainly doesn’t serve Michael’s interests, and is likely to be deemed “snarky”.

The advice in the “Platform” book far outweighs the theme you use. Get the book.

  Paul, Paul, I am happy to let your post stand. ;-) By the way, my theme will allow people to customize the theme and make it there own.

  Paul,
  I used Standard Theme too on one of my sites and like it very much. I completely understand where you’re coming from on your post, too. One thing, though… modeling someone who’s doing well is a great way for someone to get started. True, you might say they’re just copycatting and haven’t found their own voice yet, but that’ s part of the learning process. So even if someone tries to “be someone else” when first starting out, that in and of itself can be part of the learning process.
  
  On the other hand, there are plenty of cheap imitations, too. A minister writes a best-selling book and several other ministers try to say the same thing using different words. As a Christian, I’ve watched this happen for years. I’m sure Michael Hyatt has his shares of copycat bloggers, but as I’m sure you know, that type of approach will come to nothing anyway.
  
  Becoming your “own person” is one of the hardest lessons anyway will ever learn in today’s world because such an emphasis is put on following the leader of “experts.” Critical thinking has become a rare commodity in our culture.
  
  Anyway, I think you wrote your post in the right spirit and am glad it wasn’t deleted.
  
  Jim

    Jim,
    
    Well said-and with great grace. Thx.

What is the price and how do I buy it?

Will this theme be availble for use with the hosted version of wordpress?
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  No, I’m afraid not—at least, not in the foreseeable future.

Any news on release date?
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  Nope. I’m afraid not. We’re still in beta.

I noticed you didn’t list musicians. Is there a way to offer music downloads for free and for retail??
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  This won’t be native to the theme, but you could always use a WordPress plugin.

Looks like this might scratch some major itches for me — looking forward to it!

Michael, where do I “sign-up below” to be “notified when the theme is released?”

Thanks for your diligence and your passion!

how about a public beta for those of us who are willing to risk a few bugs?

Is the Get Noticed! theme still a work in progress? Just wondering if there was a change in plans.

Thanks,

Michael – I have a great idea for a blog post: “7 Things To Do While Waiting For The Release Of GetNoticed! WordPress Theme” and you could explain the most important content pieces to complete to prepare for the release of the theme. ….Which I hope is really really really soon! I’ve been passing the time by clicking through your site and taking note of everything I would need to populate my own site when the theme is released. Can’t wait for publishing day!

  Thanks for your enthusiasm and your input, Ryan.

Michael, Is there any update on when we can get “Get Noticed” theme?
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  Not yet, Jamie. We are continuing to work on it, but no release date to announce yet.
Emmanuel Mroczka

Is this available yet?

  Thanks for your interest. No, it’s not available yet. We have not yet announced a release date. Thanks again.

Hi Michael – Standard Theme has built-in powerful SEO features
for each post, page, and every other block. How does your GetNoticed Theme compare to Standard in the SEO department? Will GetNoticed have the same SEO strength as Standard? Thanks.
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  We will not have SEO built in. We recommend All-in-One SEO or Yoast, both of which are superb. We didn’t see the need to recreate the wheel. Thanks.
  - José Luis
    
    Thank you VERY much for your answer Michael.
    One more question: Which one will you personally use for your own GetNoticed for MichaelHyatt.com website? All-in-One SEO or Yoast? Or will you use another plugin?
    Thank you very much again for your attention Michael. I really appreciate it.
    All the best.
    - http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
      
      No problem. I use All-in-One SEO. Thanks.

Michael, this them is fantastic. i love the fonts, the organization and the layers of integration (social media, topics, etc). Thank you! I am eager to see it released.
http://www.beforethecross.com/ Mike Mobley

Hey Michael, just a suggestion…with so many comments asking about the release date and with you guys working hard on this, any chance of getting an updated post about where you are at on this?

I am sure the comments will just keep coming, but there definitely seems to be strong interest for this theme, and I think many would be eager to read what the latest is. Thank you sir!
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  Great idea, Mike. I’ll see what I can do.
  - http://www.beforethecross.com/ Mike Mobley
    
    Sounds great! Thank you sir!
José Luis

Hi again Michael,
Thank you VERY much for your answer about your favorite CEO plugin.
On a different note – I just finished reading your “Platform” book – and I am in awe. When I started reading it – I couldn’t believe how much detail you share in your book: You “talk” about everything you have done to get to where you are today. I mean – as a reader – what else could I ask for? Your book has made me seriously re-consider the possibility of joining your “Platform University”

Thank you VERY much again Michael – I really mean it.
All the best ….
- http://michaelhyatt.com/ Michael Hyatt
  
  Thanks, José. I hope you will give it a try.

Hi Michael,

Do you have an update on the release date for your theme?

Thanks.
