Hi All,

We are developing a new breed of ecovers, and I am mulling over ideas on a limited monthly memberships based around our ecover design service.

For the best idea (chosen by us) we will create an ecover set for your product.

Any ideas, karma points available for this post

Thanks

Darren

    Hi Andy,

    Realized I didnt put too much info on there,

    Basically, I'm looking to create a membership, 100 places, $27 / month

    Obviously anything design orientated, only idea I've had for the ecovers, would be to offer members 10 ecover sets a month for already existing popular affiliate products,

    Also thought about offering free brandable affiliate sites that offer preset minisite / ecover set designs affiliates taking a cut of the end value.

    Any other ideas, comments would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Darren

    How about contacting Tiffany Dow and arranging a JV where you offer her Squidoo Lense customers graphics for the lenses she makes?

    Darren,

    I've always thought that there was a market for
    template sets that could be edited in Photoshop
    or GIMP.

    If I was to join a membership site, then I'd need
    to have some way of modifying the covers to suit
    my specific needs.

      Hi John

      Could offer 3 templates a month with ecover sets for affiliate products or specific niches, and supply PSDs for editing of the gfx, only problem is the ecovers arent editable, as they are created by 3D modelling techniques as opposed to photoshop actions

      You still think a market is there?

        Hi Darren,

        One of the things I would like to see
        in a membership site like this is the niche
        mini site sets but NOT for affiliate products
        and here's why.

        I've seen other video and review type membership
        sites that focus on the latest and hottest selling
        affiliate products.

        I personally don't want to promote some of
        the affiliate products because I think they are
        junk, so having a neutral theme or niche would
        be the way to go in my opinion.

          Thanks Kenneth,

          I've also found the same, you can reach a much wider audience with keeping to niches than specific affiliate sites.

          Thanks for your input

    Darren,

    Here's what I suggest.

    Think about WHO you're trying to help and what the benefits of different ways of positioning your offer are.

    Create some landing pages (one for each proposition)

    Use PPC to drive some traffic to them for the keywords your market are using.

    See what they want.

    Get all of your questions answered.

    Then use PPC to offer the product to them.

    Then run a WSO and offer it to warriors, perhaps the first few for a lower price in exchange for testimonials.

    This way - you won't need to create your offer until you already know how it needs to be positioned AND you'll have the mechanism to sell it, and anything the warrior forum does is a bonus.


    If you ask around the forum and then spend time and effort on something you could create it and not sell any just because people will talk all day but when it comes to buying, what people say and do are not necessarily the same thing and the forum is a small marketplace to limit your ideas to.

      Hi Andy, thanks for the kick up the arse, sometimes I get blinkered into limiting the market into here.

      I've never used PPC, but know can be very handy for market research in this way.

      Thanks again
