Need help activating my website

Hi Warriors,

I started with an anxiety website theme and was convinced to switch to a Wordpress site. I have been in the process of putting this all together for longer than I can remember. However, I am stuck and still have linking yet to be done to Clickbank, thank you pages, etc.... I need someone to help me get everything activated and up and running smoothly. I am looking for someone that is specifically skilled at these types of tasks. I desire to spend my time marketing and making money not setting up all the technical details.

I have spent a lot of time creating-writing products (e-books, reports, etc..). I just want to get up and running so I can start marketing and hopefully earning some income.

I believe I have some very useful products that people with anxiety will want and can use. I just need someone to help me put the final pieces of the puzzle together, so there are no glitches in the ordering system and/or download of products.

I would also like someone to assist me with a marketing plan using low and no cost advertising. In other words I need someone to help me get up and running and realizing some profit utilizing unique and effective no cost-low cost marketing-advertising tools.

My website is The Natural Anxiety Cures: Home if you want to take a look to see what I have accomplished thus far.

I was hoping to find someone that might be willing to dig in to get things done with no delays or without having to run back and forth between other commitments. I was also hoping to find someone that might consider trading their skills for an excellent testimonial in lieu of charging me a fee. I would also be open to exchanging services where I could do something for a skilled website design person in exchange for their services.

Anyway, if anyone out there can help me out it would be greatly appreciated and allow me to get up and running instead of having my website in limbo doing nothing.

Thank you very much,

Dennis Manz

    Hi, Dennis. I wish you the best in launching your products.

    I'm quite capable of the technical tasks you're requesting, but I couldn't do them for free. Sorry.

    However, I'll be glad to give you some free marketing advice. I took a quick look at some of the biggest ClickBank vendors in the anxiety & panic market: Panic Away, The Panic Puzzle, and Stop Anxiety in Minutes. Other than professional-looking, attention-grabbing websites, the most obvious thing that they have and your site doesn't is testimonials. If I were you, I'd be out collecting dozens of credible, forceful testimonials about the effectiveness of the products you're selling.

    For low cost advertising, there are tons and tons of resources on this forum. Search for traffic, backlinks, promotion, and other related terms. I would especially look at offers about and related to Angela's backlinks and Paul's backlinks. There are the backlink packets themselves, which are do-it-yourself kits for boosting your site's rankings, and you'll also find people offering backlink-building services based on the packets if you don't want to do it all yourself.

    I hope this helps.

    I would help but I am very concerned and fearful about what it might entail.

    Seriously though Steve is right. You can't expect someone to do all of that for a testimonial from a new site with little or no present traffic. It would kind of be like me asking you to write an ebook for me then asking you to help market it for me all just because I will menion you in the footnotes.

      Please don't say that I'm right and then go on to assert things that I didn't ever say.

      I did not state or imply that Dennis shouldn't expect anyone else to agree to that arrangement. I simply said that I couldn't.

      Anyone else can do their own cost/benefit analysis. They may well come up with a different answer than mine, especially if they're just starting out in freelancing.

    Steve,

    Thank you, and you are very right in saying that someone else might agree to the arrangement I am requesting based on their individual cost/benefit analysis. That is what I was hoping to find through my post.

    I appreciate and respect your position and if anyone were to thoroughly read my post (like you did) they would know that I am certainly not asking for something for nothing.

    Your tips were very helpful!

    Best to you,

    Dennis

    I can help you set-up the clickbank account if you want to. I helped a client set up his from scratch. here is the site i designed and set-up for him. intro2swinging dot kom . I only need a one-way link from your site to my site.

    Just PM me, if you are interested though i am in the Phils. right now for a vacation and I have to finish 3 pending projects, I may need two hours to do that. How far have you done with your clickbank account?

    Thanks.

    Maybe you have something else worth more in exchange for the work. Just a thought.

      Hey Ron

      Thanks for your comment about offering something worth more in exchange for the work I need done.

      I am not sure what a person qualified to do the work I need done would consider an equitable exchange of services. As I said in my initial post I created-wrote my own products and wrote the website content.

      I could offer some form of writing content (emails or articles) for someone just getting started with their own business and having the necessary skills I need to help me get my website activated.

      Other than that I have pretty good computer skills, so I might be able to exchange computer labor (checking emails, etc...) if that were a need for someone that did not want to deal with email overload, but needed emails read, sorted or deleted?

      I guess the best way for anyone interested in helping me with my website needs would be to just tell me what they would expect in return for their services and I could respond whether I am capable or not.

      Thanks again for your comment! It was helpful.

    Hey Steve again,

    Based on your comment on testimonials, what would be a best or good way to offer some of my materials (e-book and reports) for free to acquire testimonials. I am not much for building web pages or capture pages. Is there a way to get the word out offering free products in exchange for testimonials without having to build a web page?

    I am pretty good at article writing, but I believe that article submission for the most part does not allow links in the content except for maybe in the signature.

    Thank you very much for your thoughts on this.

      You could start by offering review copies in the Main Internet Marketing Discussion Forum here. That's a fairly common practice.

      But I think you'd do much better by searching for other online forums and discussion groups that are devoted to (or have sections devoted to) overcoming anxiety and panic attacks. By offering a limited number of review copies in such venues you'll not only get some good testimonials but you'll also drum up some interest for your products.

      Try entering this search string into Google. It will give you dozens of useful results:

      (forum | group | chat room) (panic attacks | anxiety attacks)

    Not a bad looking site, but definately lacking working functionality. I'd like to help. I'm a little overwhelmed with work right now, but PM me and maybe we can work something out. It doesn't look like it would take too much to get everything functional.
