Glad to hear it. I've worked with Doug since 2005 and he's always done a great job for me. Enjoy your site.

Just switched to Reservoir. I went live yesterday. Doug holds your hand all the way in getting it set up. He really puts the time in with you. You can't go wrong with his company because it will get set up right. And he's willing to make changes along the way joyfully. I wish all the vendors I deal with were as great as Reservoir and Doug Harrison.

I run a GKIC Chapter in MA. Is there a good speakers resource that you could recommend?

If any of you in the association are coming to MA and would like to speak at one of our chapter meetings please let me know.

Market Research and Info Marketing?

Summer A. — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:36:46 GMT

Hello! I'm new around here and new to info marketing in general. My background is in market research and I currently work with small business owners providing reports such as: market analysis, demographic/psychographic target market profiles, competitive intelligence and industry overviews.

So here's the deal: I'm tired of trading my time for (not enough) money and would like to leverage my market research skills into an info marketing business. I especially like to take what can seem like difficult business concepts and break them down so that they are easy to understand. One example is my deconstructed business plan for...

What to Put for Hoplink URL in Clickbank

Lisa K. — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:57:01 GMT

Hi there.

Anyone out there using Clickbank as one of their payment processors/distribution channels?

We've set it up successfully for our first info product (a CD) and are awaiting Clickbank's approval before we launch that product there.

One thing that I'm confused about is that Clickbank says to set up a Hoplink Target URL in our GLOBAL Clickbank vendor settings. When setting up this first product, we just used the URL for this individual product's sales page like Clickbank tells you to do.

However, this will be a problem when we add our second Clickbank product next week. We don't always want Clickbank affiliates...

Oh...also a few additional notes re: our technical environment for other IMA members:

-We migrated our existing Typepad blog (http://flair.typepad.com/content_911_blog/) over to Wordpress using a plugin in about 5 minutes, so we didn't need to write any new blog content.

-We're also going to add a forum using Simple Press during the coming months, and we'll add different membership levels (Silver/Gold/Platinum) with varying access levels to the blog, forum, info products, coaching, etc.

-We'll probably move from Paypal to a different payment processor during the coming weeks for various reasons.

I find it really helpful to read about other IMA members' tools, technologies and...

Thanks Robert!

We did a soft launch earlier this week, with some limited testing via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. So far, so good...we'll wait to see how things go.

After we finish with the Web SIte Optimizer testing of the headlines and tweak a few things, we're going to do a hard launch and market it via our mailing list (2,000 or so people), Clickbank and some other outlets.

Now, on to the next product! :)

P.S. FYI to anyone who is interested, I haven't seen great results with the Social Media Popup (SMP) plugin on http://jumpstart.flairinteractive.net/online-mktg-2/. I don't think users like it...

These are all very solid. Perfectly fine to start sending traffic and testing.

I'd probably start split testing with some different headlines on the landing page:

3 Insider Secrets of Better Online Video
Secrets of Selling Online with Easy-to-create Video

Just a couple of ideas.

You certainly have created a site good enough to direct traffic to.

Great job.

Just did a soft launch for my first product (an audio CD), and I'd be interested in any feedback that you might have:

Squeeze Page:
http://jumpstart.flairinteractive.net/free-online-mktg-tips/

Sales Page:
http://jumpstart.flairinteractive.net/online-mktg/

I have a couple different variations of these (to account for Paypal, Clickbank and Google Web Site Optimizer), but they're all pretty similar. None have upsells or bonus items on them yet, but we will be adding those ASAP.

I'm also offering one option of the sales page that forces users to "like" the page on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+ before viewing it. For that campaign, users do not see the squeeze page at all:

The latter...
