Re: I think the newbie got it...
Hendry,
Sorry to take so long getting back to you, I've been writing like an insane person!
What I meant when I said something about the data was that I'm offering my product at a deep discount PROVIDED they give some feedback. I don't care if it's positive or negative. I just want feedback.
On top of it I'm now able to say that from pre-sold traffic my page converts at 35%. It converts at 10% if you look at what happens from the forum through the final sales process.
I also know people want me to talk more about how TGA will work with small business owners as well as Affiliates.
After about 2 weeks of testing and conversations with buyers here's the bottom line:
1: I am now ready to launch
2: My page converts very, very well
3: What I offer is truly of value to a massive group of people
4: I have already been approached by JV partners
5: I know where the product needs to go to benefit even more people
6: I made a lot of money testing.
7: I got more testimonials
Even the few people who didn't like it had valuable feedback. In fact, I had a total of 2 returns, and both of those I turned into raving fans because I included them in the development process.
I wanted to know what about TGA made them want to return it. They told me, I asked them if I could use them as a test subject and have their website and progress detailed in a video...
They said yes, and all of them decided to keep the product.
In fact, that's the next book I'm going to write: How to turn Hate Into Love and Make Money Doing it!
Now I have 2 more videos to offer my launch clients.
But what was even more valuable is the return requests were not for things which I didn't cover. In fact, what I learned was I needed to make a headline in my book a bit bigger and they would have seen exactly what they wanted to know. (Some things are so very odd)
Being this is my first launch I can't say for sure I'm doing it the best way. However... I can say it worked, my goals were met, I made money and I am confident about letting the "Big Kids" see it.
I guess we'll see what we see!
