Hi Everyone!!

Ahhhh!! Internet marketing and product creation is so much FUN!

NOT!!!

Haha!! Not really, I love it and maybe you do too! But, it sure takes a lot of time in 15-20 minute intervals! But I guess when you are a mom of 5, time is limited and it only seems like it takes forever.

Anyway, I have been busy, real busy and look what I have for y’all! It’s my new and improved Super Simple WordPress WebSites, (not just blogs) set up guide and it’s really cool!!

So make sure you get one and have a read. Just Click the cover right here and go!! Ya might learn something you didn’t know!! Lol

OK, so setting up a free product is a pretty easy thing to do when you know what it takes…..

First of all, this book was my older set up guide and with WordPress moving to a 3 point something, I knew it needed an update. So I started writing, removing the outdated stuff and adding the new, good stuff.

Once it was finished (about 15 drafts) I knew I needed a new domain. Bought a domain and started setting up the site. So I called on my trusty graphics and techy guy and we got started.

Here are just some of the things you need to do when setting up a site. And believe me, there are things you never think about!! (or maybe I just didn’t think about them!!) lol

Squeeze page, gotta get started building a list! So what goes on that squeeze page? A graphic of what you are giving away, some text, an opt in form and a headline to grab their attention. And that opt in form needs an auto responder attached to it!! (My fav is Aweber if you are wondering.)

And after it’s all set up and looking good….you need to make sure it looks great in all browsers!! And if it doesn’t, that’s where the techy man comes in, cause I am so NOT there yet!! But it looked great, so on to the next step.

The Download Page…where the people who have opted into your list and confirmed their email address get sent to download your freebie. And what does the download page have on it? Another graphic of the product, so folks will remember what they signed up for, a link to download the product and I happened to add a few more free offers that will help folks on their way! Those offers also have graphics and links, so the download page is pretty cool. Lots of things to do on there!!

BUT…..while folks are waiting on the ‘confirm your email address email’ they get to see a product that my friend Steve has made and get a chance to purchase it (it’s all relevant to my guide, in fact, if you want to see it, it’s right here!! Really Easy WordPress Videos

Sooooo…..hmmmmm…..little techy redirect script on there that I NEVER even thought of! Thank God I have friends who know what they are doing!! (and actually do this stuff day after day!!)

So now we have the index page(first page folks see on your site), the download page, the autoresponder set up and the little redirect page with a ton of cool videos on how to learn WordPress. Sooooo am I finished??

OH Heck no!! (Now realize, I am doing this in about 20 minutes a day for a few weeks, because I actually have a full time job and I am making another product in Partnership To Success with John Thornhill and I am supposed to be focused on SOMETHING ELSE!!! Shhh…don’t tell….Sorry John, I’ll make it up to you!!)

So there needs to be a link to all my legal policies and disclaimers…..Terms of Service, Privacy and Earnings Disclaimer….blah blah blah on all these pages. So I go back to the ole drawing board….NVU to be exact and guess what???? NVU doesn’t like me and it doesn’t like scripts (well my scripts anyway!!)

You remember that Aweber stuff we talked about….the opt in form? Well, that’s a script, or it was. It’s not anymore! lol. So…anywhere I had a script, NVU just took out all the graphics and formatting and left me with a very ugly white page with no formatting or graphics!

DANG!!!

Hello Techy!?!? Yes, and …..Hello real HTML editor! (and it likes me AND my scripts!!)

Thank Goodness I learned how to back up my regular sites before all this happened, and I had the backup on my hard drive so the only thing that got screwed up was my frustration levels! And backing up is very easy. (Maybe we’ll talk about that on my next blog post.)

But you know the cool thing about all of this?

I got it done. Editing, setting things up, Uploading the minisite and videos, setting up all the legal stuff, editing those stinkin HTML pages, frustration, waiting on answers for days…oh…and I have a really cool picture and signature!!

I freekin got it done. So if you ever think something is too complicated, frustrating, not worth it or anything else that hot little red guy on your shoulder is telling you…just keep on it….it will get done and you will be amazed at what you learn and how you feel to have finished a real project!

(Unless, you want someone else to set it up for you……we’ll talk about that later as well!)

So do you have any frustrations with blogs, websites pages, etc? Have you finished a project and felt like you were on TOP of the world??  Do you have any setbacks or want to let me know how YOU get your product online, let me know in the comment section below and let’s get r done!!

Now….back to John Thornhill (shhhhh……sorry John!)

P.S. I didn’t even go into the part about having to change all this from one domain to another….that’s another story in itself!!!

I used to think I knew a thing or two….now after almost 2 years, I am barely learning how to use Aweber!! (and just barely finding that out!! lol)

Anyway…I have been promoting Push Button Giveaways 2.0 (and wait till you see the bonuses I scored!!) and I just realized I am not sending the emails to all my list.  I have been sending emails to like 20 people and not my whole list!! Back to the drawing board!! hahahaha! Dang!!! DUH!!

Something else I learned is no, never, never, never use copy/paste emails from the JV blogs! They are BORING! And you don’t get to use your own writing style and voice…..you know the one your subscribers read and adore??

This is the email I sent out today to my WHOLE LIST of Subscribers….(learned how)

And as you can see…the beginning is BORING!! NOT a good lead in to…..

Comment much??

Have YOU ever joined a giveaway? You know those JV Giveaways where everyone’s cool freebies are up for grabs??

Well, first of all, to sign up for a giveaway, you need a product to give away.

Do you have a product you can give away? Something fresh and new that people want to give you their email address for?

What if you don’t have a product to give? (We’ll talk about that in a bit, I think I can help you out there!!)

Anyway, I used to do giveaways, but stopped because of the time it takes to get all signed up. Way too much work!!

K, hold on now, let’s back up for any one new here…a JV Giveaway is where you put your opt-in free gift (like a report, interview, video or something) into a temporary membership-like site and people who are looking for what info you have to offer sign up for your gift and get put on your mailing list.

This is called list building. (Remember the money is in the list quote? This is the list ‘they’ are talking about.) Giveaways are a fast and easy way to start building your subscriber base!

After having a product, you need to upload it to your site, get a squeeze page and a download page and then there are special offers, upsells, downsells, upside-down sells (haha), text ads, images, etc. The list goes on and on…I wrote a little about it here

Now after you set up your account, write all your text ads and get your links all saved and your product image uploaded, you have to do the same for the next giveaway.

BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!

AND THAT’S WHY I STOPPED DOING GIVEAWAYS! TOO MUCH WORK!

Time consuming stuff!!

So my bud, Keith Purkiss, gave a few of his close friends’ access to Push Button Giveaways 2.0 for some testing a while back and I haven’t been a diligent friend and doing my part (Sorry Keith!!).  So to make up for my flakiness,  I went on his webinar the other day (for moral support, I thought) and he showed what this site could do!

I’m hooked!

So hold on now cause I want to get this straight for ya…

First of all…you only have to set up your gift once! No more copy/pasting, finding your info, forgetting where your gift, images, and download pages are on your site. Just find it once, enter it into the database once and it’s there….stored for you so you can just hit a button (or 2) It also stores your password to the giveaways and your affiliate link!

AND…if you don’t have a gift of your own…Keith has a few already set up you can use! All ya gotta do is push a button (or 2)! He also has text ads and special offers you can use if you don’t have your own!!

How stinkin cool is that? Yay!!

Then….he also has videos to show you how to get things set up, how to join a giveaway, how to set up your special offers, etc. He’s got it all taken care of!!

Now this is the cool part….

He has an email generator, a web page, a giveaway page, banners and tracking!! So you can get all set up with your links in no time!! He also has training videos for all the above so if you can’t figure things out (like me), you can just go to the video and viola!! Step by step training!!

PBG2 does it all for you!!

Keith Purkiss and John Thornhill have thrown it out of the ballpark on this one!! (did I mention that there are a few extra bonuses from John Thornhill thrown in there as well??)

So I say YAY!!

So go ahead and get on the list so you will be notified when Push Button Giveaways 2.0 launches!!

Have fun and Happy Happy List-Building!!

Roonie~

P.S. Push Button Giveaways 2.0 is launching next week, and for now, if you opt in here you will get 3 FREE interviews from John Thornhill and Keith Purkiss about easy list building and real Push Button Success!!

YAY!
