Paypal, 2CO & clickbank are out. Nanacast looks great. Thoughts?

Hi Josh
thanks for your thoughful response to questions - another one - re hosting

"Quote:

So if I have a membership site
the software is hosted by nanacast?
the information pages will be hosted on nanacast or my own hosting?
members downloads will be hosted on nanacast or my own hosting?
training videos to be viewed in the members area will be hosted on nanacast or my own hosting?

zombo · 11-05-2009, 08:54 PM

Nothing wrong with paypal mate I've used it for years

Josh Anderson · 11-05-2009, 09:09 PM

The easiest and most powerful way to use the system is using our built in "hosted" membership site creation features. It allows you to turn any site into a membership site in minutes...

But you have several other options:

1. You can use our plugin to turn any blog into a memebrship blog.

2. You can use our api to integrate our ecommerce and affilaite management system with any other system or site you want if you want too develop something your self.

3. You can use our cname feature to make the nanacast hosted membership sites appears as if they are on any domain you own or even a subdomain of an existing site ie. members.yoursite.com

For media files and downloads can integrate your own s3 account with your nanacast account and nanacast will automatically secure your s3 hosted download files and embedded video urls that you use in your nanacast hosted membership pages.

In other words... nanacast lets you focus on creating as many membership sites and offers as you want without ever having to worry about hiring programmers or managing it. You get to do what makes you money... publish your content and products and market. Instead of having to bother with it development and programmer management we hand it all to you in one powerful fully automated centralized system. No scripts to install no programmers to hire.

Josh,

I may have missed this somewhere in your tutorials and info..but if I'm using authorize.net and have a recurring subscription, will nanacast handle the recurring transaction and post that info to authorize.net each month(like 1SC does) or will I need to subscribe to the authorize.net recurring billing service?

Josh Anderson · 11-06-2009, 12:00 AM

Correct. You will NOT need the authnet recurring service. We automate it.

jeffczyz · 11-09-2009, 07:27 PM

Josh,

Need some advice on this one with Nanacast. Let's say I have a subscription service, silver level for 19.95 and I would like to offer subscribers the ability to upgrade a Gold account which would be 29.95 (total). Is there an easy way to unsubscribe them from the first subscription and put them into a new one?

I have used both Infusionsoft and Nanacast. Infusionsoft was not a good solution for me because I wanted to be able to use it myself without having a tech team, merchant account or endure a steep learning curve.

I chose nanacast and within hours I was collecting payments because it works with Paypal right out of the box. A few weeks later I had processed over $40k and had over 1000 affiliates. The nanacast system is awesome. Support is great as well.

louislautman · 11-19-2009, 04:44 AM

Does Nanacast work with yourpay or firstdata as the merchant account?
Also is Nanacast the email autoresponder system or do you have to get another account with another company?
Who are some people who are experts at setting everything up that I could contact?
Also is there phone support? And how often do you make updates to it?

Hey Josh,

This is the first I am hearing about this product, so I am just making sure I understand correctly.

I would like to have a membership site for information products both physical and digital. I know you got that more than covered. But is there currently any way to set it up so you can offer discounts for someone to get on an automatic shipment of products (like say a face cream) that is located at a fulfillment center? How about an assortment of products like "add this, add that" to cart (you hinted to something in the works, just wanted to see the features and any possible updates on a release date).

Thanks for the help,
Joe

Josh Anderson · 11-24-2009, 12:08 AM

Currently you can do that as single item or package checkout. But not pick and choose to fill your cart.

So if you wanted to say follow with an upsell for an auto ship of a package at a discount you can do that.

You could also follow a purchase with an email providing them coupons for several packages and links to each sales page for each of those packages. Those could be auto ship etc.

Using our custom fields and email notifications or even our api you can notify your fulfillment house.

joerh · 11-24-2009, 09:55 AM

Thanks Josh for the fast response,

I guess I am going to have to look to see if I can find something that will do the autobill/autoship for products they chose... and then integrate it with nanacast.

Anyone else doing this? Something like 1shopping cart for $34/month. Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone,
Joe

Josh Anderson · 11-24-2009, 01:07 PM

Just to clarify... they can do it for any product they choose but currently it must be one item or predefined bundle checkout at a time. So you could create and list various products and packages on your site you want people to choose from. Then take them through a linear checkout process and have options of having forced or optional continuity and upsells/downsells etc.

We actually do have a module planned out and scheduled for 2010 called "store fronts" which will do the additional multi product shopping page customized checkout.

Because what you are describing is "add this and add that" to cart even an independent developer would not be able to use our api to create an alternative to a fully integrated multi item custom checkout which we do have planned.

RichardIC · 12-02-2009, 10:51 PM

Nanacast ? what.. first time ever i am hearing this. Is it a payment processing system?

Ken Preuss · 12-02-2009, 11:38 PM

Josh,

On the first version of your Nanacast website you provided a *written* list of features. Is there any way to get that from you? The video is fine but would love to actually see the list of all the features.

Thanks much,
Ken

DamianLeon · 12-03-2009, 01:18 AM

I'm excited about being able to use Nanacast soon - probably going to study
what Lee McIntyre did with Infusionsoft, then take lessons from that and
work with it in Nancast - distributing through a variety of media-

I also like the fact that it integrates with OfficeAutoPilot-

Sure here is a brand new comprehensive nanacast features list:

Nanacast Features List

It will change over time as we are always adding new features :-)

Kieran Gill · 12-03-2009, 08:51 AM

I'm confused about what Nanacast actually is... Why is it being compared to PayPal and 2CO? Nanacast is not a payment gateway/merchant account alternative like PayPal and 2CO, is it? Or am I wrong?

Basically, can Nanacast function like 2CO does and accept credit cards without needing a merchant account?

Edit: Nevermind, I've read the above docs and can see that it integrates with 2CO.

I'm stuck between deciding for either 1shoppingcart or Nanacast, integrated with 2CO for accepting cards.

Some of Nanacasts features sound pretty badass...

Is there a free trial available or some such? I don't particularly want to lay down $97 only to decide it's not for me and that I should've gone with another system. Even if it's just a week or so to try it out, that'd be good. PM me if you could hook that up.

Thanks,

Kieran

Josh Anderson · 12-03-2009, 03:16 PM

Sure... it was mentioned earlier in this thread but here is how to do it again:

1. On the home page of nanacast at the top of the registration form there is a drop down to choose the version. Select affiliate only.

2. Fill in the rest of the form and once you submit it confirm your account via the email our system will send you.

3. Login to your account and in the left menu will be a red 7 day trial option. When you take that 7 day trial it will give you access to the full viral premium features. You may upgrade your account at any time to a paid account at the viral or viral premium level.

No credit card or payment is required to take the 7 day trial that way.

In my opinion 2co should only be used if you have no other options... frankly paypal standard is a far better option than 2co and cheaper fees too.

Plus in the UK you can also use Paypal Website payments pro and www.Eway.co.uk both of which Nanacast is integrated with so you have a few choices for payment processors and merchant accounts even if you are in the UK.

Kieran Gill · 12-04-2009, 05:44 AM

Thanks, I'll grab a trial today!

PayPal standard isn't a better option than 2CO, as I can't accept cards easily with PayPal standard. Lots of our customers are unlikely to use PayPal. I don't really want to get an actual merchant account, so 2CO seems ideal, and has lower fees than ClickBank.

PayPal WebSite Payment Pro fees work out around the same (or more) as 2CO in the end as there is a monthly fee in addition to the per sale charges...

I've not heard of EWay. Do you need your own merchant account or is it a system like 2CO/PayPalWPP?

Edit: I'm actually looking at Google Checkout, I had no idea it could accept cards without a merchant account... It has nice fees and no monthly charge either... Could be a winner.

Kieran

LudwigReithofer · 12-04-2009, 08:31 AM

Nanacast is a great system! I love it.

Are you sure about that?

Paypal standard always offers option for people to pay with credit card and does not require the payee to have a paypal account.

Quote:

PayPal WebSite Payment Pro fees work out around the same (or more) as 2CO in the end as there is a monthly fee in addition to the per sale charges...

You will pay WAY MORE in fees to 2checkout. In fact you will pay nearly twice as much in fees to 2checkout than paypal. 2checkout fees are 5.5% of your total revenue. This is nearly double paypal's highest fee structure. Paypal fees are 1.9-3% traditionally.

So while you might save a couple bucks a month on the monthly fee you are agreeing to literally give away 2.5%+ more of your total income than you would with paypal.

The benefits of PayPal far outweigh 2checkout in many more areas too.

Additionally you are not likely aware of this but 2checkout is a very strict third party payment processor who acts as a "reseller" of your product and you have to ask them permission for each product you want to sell and they can de-list your products at any time.

Quote:

I've not heard of EWay. Do you need your own merchant account?

I recommend contacting them directly. They are a gateway for a merchant account and can help you get connected as they are a major merchant service provider in UK, AU, and NZ.

Having your own merchant account in addition to offering payments with paypal is very desirable so that you have multiple options for collecting payments and have a backup should you ever encounter issues with your merchant providers or paypal etc.

It also enables you to integrate the power of one click upsells, bundled trials, and other things like "bump" offers into your sales funnels using Nanacast.

Quote:

dit: I'm actually looking at Google Checkout, I had no idea it could accept cards without a merchant account... It has nice fees and no monthly charge either... Could be a winner.

Not really. Google Checkout has never materialized as a good option and have pretty much made it impossible to do many of the things you can do with Paypal and regular merchant accounts. Surprisingly enough that is one of the areas that Google has not really had much success with. You may want to read this thread as it sums up why Google Checkout sucks from the perspective of both consumers and developers.

Finally, you may not be aware of this but having merchant account is a very desirable thing because it allows you to take advantage of features such as bundled continuity offers or one click upsells where using third party processors alone limits you to doing standard upsell processes with multiple checkouts without easy one click compatibility.

Since you have PayPal Standard, PayPal Website Payments Pro, and getting your own merchant gateway through Eway all of which are far better options that 2co I highly encourage you to look a little deeper into the true benefits... which are absolutely huge over the highly limiting and most expensive option which is 2checkout...

2checkout is the MOST expensive and LEAST desirable option of any of those solutions and again... should only ever be considered as the choice of absolute last resort if you have none of the other options you have available to you.

The only reason I like 2checkout, and the only reason we are integrated with 2checkout, is because they are the only choice for some people in some parts of the world and having an option is better than having no option.

You have tons of better choices to consider and use all of which have the potential of helping you make and keep more of your profits.

The biggest mistake that many people make in IM is not seeing the true costs of their decisions in both higher fees and lost profit potential because of a loss of better features when they think they are saving themselves money.

nelsonroque · 12-07-2009, 01:13 AM

I have heard only GREAT things about Nanacast.

Thumbs up!

joehomps · 12-07-2009, 02:36 AM

Can nanacast make a "name your own price" offer? I once purchased a product from Dan Kennedy, and it allowed the buyers to name their own price. Is it possible with nanacast?

jeffczyz · 12-07-2009, 12:06 PM

I wanted to chime in real quick and provide some feedback on this thread.

I was looking for a good shopping cart system to move all of my stuff to and I had looked at several of the big name/common systems.

I am extremely impressed with Nanacast. Not just the way it works, but by the support as well.

I had recently inquired about a feature I was really looking for and was told that it currently was not available. Not much later, they followed up with me and I was told they had just built the feature I needed.

In my own opinion, you can't go wrong with this system.

Jeff

gph · 12-23-2009, 10:58 PM

Does Nanacast do "expiring URLs" for digital downloads of products - even products hosted at, say, Amazon s3? Can we set the time to expiration?

Yes.

You can register your Amazon s3 hosting account details in your Nanacast account and our system can automatically secure files on s3, then the Nanacast system cloaks the url and ads its own additional key based layer of security and then on top of that Nanacast ads ip based security where the files issued to the IP of the account user so that if they copy the url and someone on another IP tries to access it they will not be authorized.

These secure file urls can be used with both Nanacast's dynamic thank you pages and membership pages generated by Nanacast's content delivery system. They can be used to cloak and lock the source url against sharing and even be used with embedded media.

Additionally if you can limit access to dynamic thank you pages by time or number of clicks, you can also limit access to content by expiring an "episode" or membership page and you can limit access by the number of IP addresses per day or lifetime. You may use any combination of those features.

Please post any other "features" type questions to our support desk.

joehomps · 12-25-2009, 01:15 PM

Hi, Josh:

Would appreciate your answer on whether Nancast can do a "name your own price" offer. Please see thread #131 above.

TheNightOwl · 12-27-2009, 03:43 AM

Hi Josh

I've been doing a lot of research into shopping carts and payment gateways and membership sites and securing content and all that kind of good stuff.

I've looked at Nanacast a number of times in the past. There's no doubt about it, it's one seriously powerful solution.

I have no objection to the price-point whatsoever. The feature-set is bound to not only make my life soooooo much easier, it could also increase sales, increase repeat business, and save me money otherwise lost from sharing URLs, etc. Not to mention the built-in affiliate system!

So it really looks like a GREAT solution!

============================

I do have one major concern, though, which I'm rather hoping you'll be willing to address in this thread.

I considered PMing you about this, but I think anyone reading this or considering Nanacast might also be wondering the same thing(s):

- How can I be confident that your company and Nanacast will be around and functioning both reliably and consistently for the long haul?

By that, I mean, basically: What happens if something happens to YOU?

I read your post above and clearly you have no intention of abandoning your business or changing market. Why on Earth would you?

That's not my point.

(Although stranger things've happened, eh?)

My point is that (as was raised elsewhere in the thread), it appears you're a one-man operation, essentially. You and your partner and I'm guessing a team of outsourced tech and support help.

But, hey! I don't know how your business operates. And in fact, that's why I'm posting this thread: To get a little more clarification regarding that.

There's nothing about your company on the Nanacast website other than the profile of you and your partner in the "About" link in the footer. The webpage of your business name is simply a one-page showcase site pointing to your other product pages. And your business address appears to be in a residential area.

Don't get me wrong, dude. I'm not trying to suggest even remotely that anything shady is going on or you're some kind of fly-by-night operation. I absolutely do NOT believe either of those things to be the case. I thoroughly believe that you're an honest businessman busting your balls to provide extraordinary value to your clients/customers. I really do.

This post is in no way intended to be adversarial. Although, take it any way you like. From my point of view it's called "Doing Due Diligence." I hope you appreciate that because Nanacast essentially requires me to put my entire business on your server.

That's a big ask if I can't be sure that there's a solid corporate structure to back that up, with redundancy systems in place to ensure that the show goes on rain, hail, or shine.

Putting my entire business on your server is obviously not the same as buying a $100 product from you. Heck, it ain't even the same as buying a $10,000 - or possibly even $100,000 - product from you! Y'know what I mean? Ya feelin' me here?

So, y'know, if I were asking these questions because of some hesitancy in slapping down $100 for one of your products, you'd be right to tell me to wake up.

But it's not the same, is it?

If I were a religious man I'd preface what I'm about to say with "God forbid!"...

Were something to happen to you which meant you couldn't run your business, what would happen to your customers' businesses?

There are myriad unexpected things that can and do happen to people all the time. Reasonably often on this forum there are pleas for help from upstanding online businesspeople who've fallen on hard times. People who've been in the game for years and suddenly get slapped with, say, a MASSIVE medical bill (thanks to what I'm lead to believe are unusually outragerous fees for health care in the good old USofA).

There was one such example of this earlier this year. Many members will remember the case. The person who needed to raise cash for hefty medical bills offered a HUGE discount on a product showing how to make money online.

One person critically commented something to the effect of: "While it's unfortunate that [person] has to deal with [problem], and I'm happy to offer a donation for the pot, it seems a bit rich to me that this product showing folks how to make money is being offered in a firesale. If [person] is so crash-hot at making money online, why is [person] in this financial pickle in the first place?"

Naturally, with the emotional nature of such a thread, the commenter (no, it wasn't me) was shouted down as an uncaring oaf, and told that there are all kinds of reasons why someone could be an upstanding citizen and good businessperson and successful online marketer and still need a cash-injection for, say, medical bills or other unexpected and unplanned for emergencies.

You live in the land of outrageous medical bills, right, Josh? And unexpected things happen to all of us from time to time, unfortunately.

Which means that IF, as I suspect, you're essentially a one-man (or small-biz) operation with an outsourced team of tech and support folks, the question bears repeating:

What would then happen to your customers' businesses if some calamity befell yours?

What kind of robust and accountable corporate structure is in place at "Internet Business Ideas Inc" and "Nanacast" to ensure that it's business as usual even in the event that the CEO is on holiday for 3 months in Vanuatu, or gets eaten by natives while on safari in Pygmistan?

Now, despite my silliness just there in an attempt to highlight a real possibility (someone has already mentioned Cory Rudl in this thread) in a light-hearted-ish way, I think these questions are legitimate.

And I'm hoping you agree.

You're CLEARLY no slouch on the tech side of things. Someone asked about server load during high-profile launches and whether your platform could handle it. You dealth with this objection well and it seems that Nanacast is able to roll with those kinds of punches. I'd be happy to have you, your tech team, and Nancast in my corner to deal with all the things you say can be thrown at it.

My question is whether your BUSINESS is adequately structured to withstand the equivalent kind of upheaval and pressure, especially of the unexpected kind?

I appreciate your time and I look forward to your response.

All the best and happy holidays,
TheNightOwl

Josh Anderson · 12-28-2009, 01:40 PM

The short answer is...

Nothing. Business keeps going as usual if something happens to me.

Nanacast is owned and operated by an entity (corporation), not an individual, and is maintained and sustained in a partnership with several other companies involved in a cooperative effort.

---

In other news that is more important to our operation:

2010 will be a very exciting year for us as we will be moving the main application to the cloud.

Up until now the bulk of our financial investment has been in hardware and hosting resources for our private cabinet and servers currently hosted at The planet. Our current resources are quite powerful and can handle millions of transactions daily...

However, the recent announcement by Amazon that they are now capable of offering mysql on the cloud is quite compelling because it provides essentially infinite and on demand scaling and load balancing. It is very exciting to to think about what it means for ease of scaling and resource management to be able to take advantage of Amazon's resources.

Heya Josh

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I'd like to repeat that I really do believe you're an honest businessman and you're not running a fly-by-nighter.

But... your response is inadequate considering what terrific free publicity this thread is for Nanacast and what you're asking of your customers and potential customers, i.e. $150 a month and hosting their entire money site(s) on your servers.

Running a business under an LLC structure doesn't - in and of itself - mean much, really, I'm afraid.

Setting up a corporation can be done in an afternoon for a grand or thereabouts. Actually, it can even be done online nowadays! I can appoint myself as the CEO just as long as I'm sure to take minutes of the "Annual General Meeting" (with myself), get a cookie-cutter Company Charter from my attorney to keep on record, and I'm good to go.

So your answer doesn't really answer my question or address my concerns. Operating as a corporation is no guarantee at all that things will be business as usual if something were to happen to you.

If you're a one or two-man operation with a lot of outsourced assistance and something happens to you... and my entire business website is, effectively, sitting on your servers, then that leaves me in quite a predicament, wouldn't you say?

Would you elaborate on that a little bit, please? Should I believe this to be true simply because you say it is?

For example, I can't even find a phone number on your Nanacast or IBI site!

--------

As I said, above, you're clearly a programming genius and I'm in awe of the stuff that Nanacast can do. Really. It looks awesome.

But I'm yet to be convinced that the structure of your business is able to handle major upheavals. And that's important given that Nanacast is currently a hosted solution.

I'm more than happy to be educated.

Please understand that I am not willing to discuss certain aspects of the structure and management of my company with anonymous posters in a public forum.

I will say though that we are obsessive about physical resource management, security, quality control, scaling, and uplink and network speed and fully appreciate the trust our clients put in us and our focus day in and day out is providing our clients the highest quality applications and services.

Ask any of our clients how they feel about our company and the service we provide...

When a phone call is needed we pick up the phone and call you. That is what our support desk is for... all communication happens there first.

We are even known to call companies out of the blue and offer advice and strategy suggestions when it is not expected but greatly appreciated.

The most important aspects of the structure, management, and operation of our service are all firmly in place. Companies have been automating their businesses and online publishing with the Nanacast platform and its various labels since early 2007.

2010 will bring even more exciting benefits to publishers that will go far beyond just the application itself. Its going to be an incredible year and we will do a lot to shape the new face of ecommerce, affiliate management, business automation and centralization.

Hi, Josh:

This is my third post on the same question. A simple one that you can answer quickly. I hope it is not your practice to ignore simple questions from your customer or potential customers.

Good to know that you guys have an affiliate program as it did not seem to obvious that you did on your Nanacast site.

Isn't this the whole reason for the program: so that the mundane tedious tasks can be accomplished by the program.

How much is your time worth? Even if the program saves you only two hours a month? Is your time worth $50 per our??? It is probably worth much more than that.

Hi Ryan,

For some reason your post attributed that quote to me but I was not the one who said it

... so I wanted to clarify and point out who originally posted it:

I would also like to add:

It took more than a decade of combined experience in ecommerce development, content delivery development, affiliate management development, new media development, and sales and business automation strategy development to know what to put in the system...

....and more than 4 years of programming with the feedback compiled from thousands of users, uncounted thousands of hours of mastermind planning sessions to create the platform for Nanacast.

Some of the most valuable concepts we have developed came from interacting with individuals and companies small and large and experts in various fields of affiliate automation, email/crm, cpa, ecommerce, new media development etc. along with their own development teams. These are connections that the average person could not pick up the phone and tap let alone get them to use their system and provide technical and end user feedback.

We have had had a representative of our cooperative invited to speak about our rss/podcast publishing platform at Google Tech talk on the Google campus which google later published on youtube and many other more impressive venues. Our representatives have had private meetings with some of the most significant new media content distribution companies and even with a branch of the most powerful software company in the world to discuss our technology and how it might work with their new media market place.

All these insights and experiences and all the feedback gained have been combined to create the platform.

Anyone that's considering InfusionSoft, I shot a lengthy, detailed video showing you exactly what to expect with InfusionSoft.

Nanacast vs. InfusionSoft: Which Is Better?

pmc · 01-08-2010, 08:09 PM

Thank you for that video! I will use your affiliate link when I sign up for Nanacast ... and leave Infusionsoft behind as a really bad memory.

With respect to Infusionsoft, I've gotta add that never have I spent so much money for so little readily usable functionality. Your video is spot-on.

Fortunately Nanacast, Aweber, SendPepper all look like great solutions for their respective purposes, and it looks like they'll integrate well enough.

SMS · 01-11-2010, 09:05 AM

That was an excellent review - objective, factual & informative.

Thank you, Sir.

Hey everyone,

Josh or anyone else...can you please show me a few examples of people who use Nanacast? I studied it for about 3 hours last night (I need something to replace BFM - which is a POS).

However the one thing I'm "kind of" worried about is the designing aspect of things and I didn't see any videos describing that part of it.

Can anybody here show me some examples of websites they've built using Nanacast...or Josh, would you mind either PM'ing or calling me? I'm ready to buy the second I get this question answered.

Thanks!

Jeremy

P.S. Also, how about tracking? Is it set up to do A/B and multivariate tracking?

Hey Jeremy,

When referring to design, do you mean all the integration buttons for coupons, use of the membership graphics, variables, order buttons, checkout pages (etc, etc) or are you referring to self-hosted nanacast sites?

On my own sites, I integrate different ordering buttons tied to coupons, pricepoints, item descriptions, escrow codes, customizable WYSIWYG checkout pages and updating checkout variables that can be remotely updated anytime.

Checkout boxes can be customized remotely by just checkmarking a few different choices that allows viewers to see (if and) what item, amount and description that would seen (and) then be updated everywhere else in the platform immediately like at http://nanacast.com/customvideopromos

Inside the optional permanent content download section (instead of expiring dynamic download pages), you can see images in this link below that show one way to have descriptions and a few of the buttons one can choose for customers see when they access products at Brandable Web Videos, Video Intros and Video Marketing Creation System that can be changed remotely at anytime.

As well, for simple invoice pages such as below, one can customize what's above the order method manually (I created the item/total amount below) however they want with headers, a pretty powerful WYSIWYG/ (optional) HTML source editor.

Escrow Deposit (what customers get after we agree on a project)
Web Video Production

I understand it's now integrated with google analytics and can do a/b funnel split testing as well, but they could answer better than I can in regards to your specific situation and how it works.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Scott

Josh - I use PayPal Pro exclusively. Can Nancast run a member site with PPP?

Thanks

UnstoppableJoy · 01-21-2010, 07:08 PM

WOW Josh

I signed up for a 7 day trail and I am blown away by the clarity and thoroughness of the control panel. Unlike the $99 competition that I just abandoned after 3 weeks of deciphering their control panel. I think deciphering Egyptian might have been easier.

Their main help was video and folks as I told them "Video is useless in emergencies when you need that one piece of info" .

With Nanacast (sounds like a webcam service for Nannys) you simply enter in many of your service passwords (Kunaki - Amazon AWS - etc) and you are done!

The membership site setup page blew me away with its clarity. All I had to do was read the page and I could see exactly what to do.

You can customize almost everything on every page as well.

My only criticism at this point is too much info is on video (see above) but Nancast makes up for 70% of that with very detailed explainations on the actual page. What a concept - put the info where it is needed.

For example there are instructions on how to set up your Cmode changes in GoDaddy right where you need it. Canadians may end up ruling the earth if they keep thinking this clearly :-)

Oh yeah, and I couldn't figure out the difference between the $150 plan and the $99 plan yet.

All in all I am VERY impressed with what I see here so far. But do wish these shopping carts would use creative thinking and have a sliding scale to allow folks to get product sales going before they get hit with the full $150 per month.

To be fair to Nanacast though the same shopping cart at Yahoo Stores that used to cost me $49 per month is now $150

Nice Job Josh

The higher level "viral premium" includes cname capabilities that allows you to use your dns in your registrar to point your domain or subdomain as a cname so that you can use your own domains as the url for nanacast hosted membership login and content delivery areas.

It also provides you a feature to integrate with clickatell for automatic phone and text verification. This is generally used when people are running CPL campaigns on free offers and want to validate a lead for affiliate payout purposes. But it could also be used to validate lead phone numbers for any type of offer free or paid.

Viral premium also provides a few more customization (branding) options and the ability to create staff accounts if you have staff you want to login and assist with subscriber customer service such as billing, cancellations (cancellation can be automated without staff too), access customer service etc. but not have access to content management.

Other than those the rest of the features are identical to the viral level.

I chose nanacast and within hours I was collecting payments because it works with Paypal right out of the box. A few weeks later I had processed over $40k and had over 1000 affiliates. The nanacast system is awesome. Support is great as well.

Hey Josh, This is the first I am hearing about this product, so I am just making sure I understand correctly. I would like to have a membership site for information products both physical and digital. I know you got that more than covered. But is there currently any way to set it up so you can offer discounts for someone to get on an automatic shipment of products (like say a face cream) that is located at a fulfillment center? How about an assortment of products like "add this, add that" to cart (you hinted to something in the works, just wanted to see the features and any possible updates on a release date). Thanks for the help, Joe

Just to clarify... they can do it for any product they choose but currently it must be one item or predefined bundle checkout at a time. So you could create and list various products and packages on your site you want people to choose from. Then take them through a linear checkout process and have options of having forced or optional continuity and upsells/downsells etc. We actually do have a module planned out and scheduled for 2010 called "store fronts" which will do the additional multi product shopping page customized checkout. Because what you are describing is "add this and add that" to cart even an independent developer would not be able to use our api to create an alternative to a fully integrated multi item custom checkout which we do have planned.

Nanacast looks great. Thoughts? I'm confused about what Nanacast actually is... Why is it being compared to PayPal and 2CO? Nanacast is not a payment gateway/merchant account alternative like PayPal and 2CO, is it? Or am I wrong? Basically, can Nanacast function like 2CO does and accept credit cards without needing a merchant account? Edit: Nevermind, I've read the above docs and can see that it integrates with 2CO. I'm stuck between deciding for either 1shoppingcart or Nanacast, integrated with 2CO for accepting cards. Some of Nanacasts features sound pretty badass... Is there a free trial available or some such? I don't particularly want to lay down $97 only to decide it's not for me and that I should've gone with another system. Even if it's just a week or so to try it out, that'd be good. PM me if you could hook that up. Thanks, Kieran

Nanacast looks great. Thoughts? Thanks, I'll grab a trial today! PayPal standard isn't a better option than 2CO, as I can't accept cards easily with PayPal standard. Lots of our customers are unlikely to use PayPal. I don't really want to get an actual merchant account, so 2CO seems ideal, and has lower fees than ClickBank. PayPal WebSite Payment Pro fees work out around the same (or more) as 2CO in the end as there is a monthly fee in addition to the per sale charges... I've not heard of EWay. Do you need your own merchant account or is it a system like 2CO/PayPalWPP? Edit: I'm actually looking at Google Checkout, I had no idea it could accept cards without a merchant account... It has nice fees and no monthly charge either... Could be a winner. Kieran

Not just the way it works, but by the support as well. I had recently inquired about a feature I was really looking for and was told that it currently was not available. Not much later, they followed up with me and I was told they had just built the feature I needed. In my own opinion, you can't go wrong with this system. Jeff

Hi Josh I've been doing a lot of research into shopping carts and payment gateways and membership sites and securing content and all that kind of good stuff. I've looked at Nanacast a number of times in the past. There's no doubt about it, it's one seriously powerful solution. I have no objection to the price-point whatsoever. The feature-set is bound to not only make my life soooooo much easier, it could also increase sales, increase repeat business, and save me money otherwise lost from sharing URLs, etc. Not to mention the built-in affiliate system! So it really looks like a GREAT solution! ============================ I do have one major concern, though, which I'm rather hoping you'll be willing to address in this thread. I considered PMing you about this, but I think anyone reading this or considering Nanacast might also be wondering the same thing(s): *- How can I be confident that your company and Nanacast will be around and functioning both reliably and consistently* for the long haul? By that, I mean, basically: What happens if something happens to YOU?** I read your post above and clearly you have no intention of abandoning your business or changing market. Why on Earth would you? That's not my point. (Although stranger things've happened, eh?) My point is that (as was raised elsewhere in the thread), it appears you're a one-man operation, essentially. You and your partner and I'm guessing a team of outsourced tech and support help. But, hey! I don't know how your business operates. And in fact, that's why I'm posting this thread: To get a little more clarification regarding that. There's nothing about your company on the Nanacast website other than the profile of you and your partner in the "About" link in the footer. The webpage of your business name is simply a one-page showcase site pointing to your other product pages. And your business address appears to be in a residential area. Don't get me wrong, dude. I'm not trying to suggest even remotely that anything shady is going on or you're some kind of fly-by-night operation. I absolutely do NOT believe either of those things to be the case. I thoroughly believe that you're an honest businessman busting your balls to provide extraordinary value to your clients/customers. I really do. This post is in no way intended to be adversarial. Although, take it any way you like. From my point of view it's called "Doing Due Diligence." I hope you appreciate that because Nanacast essentially requires me to put my entire business on your server. That's a big ask if I can't be sure that there's a solid corporate structure to back that up, with redundancy systems in place to ensure that the show goes on rain, hail, or shine. Putting my entire business on your server is obviously not the same as buying a $100 product from you. Heck, it ain't even the same as buying a $10,000 - or possibly even $100,000 - product from you! Y'know what I mean? Ya feelin' me here? So, y'know, if I were asking these questions because of some hesitancy in slapping down $100 for one of your products, you'd be right to tell me to wake up. But it's not the same, is it? If I were a religious man I'd preface what I'm about to say with "God forbid!"... Were something to happen to you which meant you couldn't run your business, what would happen to your customers' businesses? There are myriad unexpected things that can and do happen to people all the time. Reasonably often on this forum there are pleas for help from upstanding online businesspeople who've fallen on hard times. People who've been in the game for years and suddenly get slapped with, say, a MASSIVE medical bill (thanks to what I'm lead to believe are unusually outragerous fees for health care in the good old USofA). There was one such example of this earlier this year. Many members will remember the case. The person who needed to raise cash for hefty medical bills offered a HUGE discount on a product showing how to make money online. One person critically commented something to the effect of: "While it's unfortunate that [person] has to deal with [problem], and I'm happy to offer a donation for the pot, it seems a bit rich to me that this product showing folks how to make money is being offered in a firesale. If [person] is so crash-hot at making money online, why is [person] in this financial pickle in the first place?" Naturally, with the emotional nature of such a thread, the commenter (no, it wasn't me) was shouted down as an uncaring oaf, and told that there are all kinds of reasons why someone could be an upstanding citizen and good businessperson and successful online marketer and still need a cash-injection for, say, medical bills or other unexpected and unplanned for emergencies. You live in the land of outrageous medical bills, right, Josh? And unexpected things happen to all of us from time to time, unfortunately. Which means that IF, as I suspect, you're essentially a one-man (or small-biz) operation with an outsourced team of tech and support folks, the question bears repeating: What would then happen to your customers' businesses if some calamity befell yours? What kind of robust and accountable corporate structure is in place at "Internet Business Ideas Inc" and "Nanacast" to ensure that it's business as usual even in the event that the CEO is on holiday for 3 months in Vanuatu, or gets eaten by natives while on safari in Pygmistan? Now, despite my silliness just there in an attempt to highlight a real possibility (someone has already mentioned Cory Rudl in this thread) in a light-hearted-ish way, I think these questions are legitimate. And I'm hoping you agree. You're CLEARLY no slouch on the tech side of things. Someone asked about server load during high-profile launches and whether your platform could handle it. You dealth with this objection well and it seems that Nanacast is able to roll with those kinds of punches. I'd be happy to have you, your tech team, and Nancast in my corner to deal with all the things you say can be thrown at it. My question is whether your BUSINESS is adequately structured to withstand the equivalent kind of upheaval and pressure, especially of the unexpected kind? I appreciate your time and I look forward to your response. All the best and happy holidays, TheNightOwl

Business keeps going as usual if something happens to me. Nanacast is owned and operated by an entity (corporation), not an individual, and is maintained and sustained in a partnership with several other companies involved in a cooperative effort. --- In other news that is more important to our operation: 2010 will be a very exciting year for us as we will be moving the main application to the cloud. Up until now the bulk of our financial investment has been in hardware and hosting resources for our private cabinet and servers currently hosted at The planet. Our current resources are quite powerful and can handle millions of transactions daily... However, the recent announcement by Amazon that they are now capable of offering mysql on the cloud is quite compelling because it provides essentially infinite and on demand scaling and load balancing. It is very exciting to to think about what it means for ease of scaling and resource management to be able to take advantage of Amazon's resources.

I will use your affiliate link when I sign up for Nanacast ... and leave Infusionsoft behind as a really bad memory. With respect to Infusionsoft, I've gotta add that never have I spent so much money for so little readily usable functionality. Your video is spot-on. Fortunately Nanacast, Aweber, SendPepper all look like great solutions for their respective purposes, and it looks like they'll integrate well enough.

Nanacast looks great. Thoughts? Hey everyone, Josh or anyone else...can you please show me a few examples of people who use Nanacast? I studied it for about 3 hours last night (I need something to replace BFM - which is a POS). However the one thing I'm "kind of" worried about is the designing aspect of things and I didn't see any videos describing that part of it. Can anybody here show me some examples of websites they've built using Nanacast...or Josh, would you mind either PM'ing or calling me? I'm ready to buy the second I get this question answered. Thanks! Jeremy P.S. Also, how about tracking? Is it set up to do A/B and multivariate tracking?

Nanacast looks great. Thoughts? WOW Josh I signed up for a 7 day trail and I am blown away by the clarity and thoroughness of the control panel. Unlike the $99 competition that I just abandoned after 3 weeks of deciphering their control panel. I think deciphering Egyptian might have been easier. Their main help was video and folks as I told them "Video is useless in emergencies when you need that one piece of info" . With Nanacast (sounds like a webcam service for Nannys) you simply enter in many of your service passwords (Kunaki - Amazon AWS - etc) and you are done! The membership site setup page blew me away with its clarity. All I had to do was read the page and I could see exactly what to do. You can customize almost everything on every page as well. My only criticism at this point is too much info is on video (see above) but Nancast makes up for 70% of that with very detailed explainations on the actual page. What a concept - put the info where it is needed. For example there are instructions on how to set up your Cmode changes in GoDaddy right where you need it. Canadians may end up ruling the earth if they keep thinking this clearly :-) Oh yeah, and I couldn't figure out the difference between the $150 plan and the $99 plan yet. All in all I am VERY impressed with what I see here so far. But do wish these shopping carts would use creative thinking and have a sliding scale to allow folks to get product sales going before they get hit with the full $150 per month. To be fair to Nanacast though the same shopping cart at Yahoo Stores that used to cost me $49 per month is now $150 Nice Job Josh
