Request help with info product basics

girljocks · 09-02-2009, 04:49 AM

I'm a real info products newbie and am looking for some help with the basics.

I purchased what amounts to a "business in a box". Comes with a sales page, thank you page, product download info, etc, in a bunch of files.

I'm supposed to customize some of the pages with my affiliate links and edit some html for personalization...truthfully, this is all Greek (or Latin) to me.

I just recently figured out that I needed an html editor for these tasks. So, yeah, that's how much of a newbie I am.

I'm NOT a complete newbie (I have two fairly successful physical product websites), but information products are new for me.

Can anyone tell me a good resource for learning the basics of info product creation & uploading to a website so all the files are actually functional?

Thank you in advance,

Robin

Hi, Robin. Actually, you don't need an HTML editor. Notepad will do just fine. In fact it may be easier, because you'll be able to see any comments that have been included to guide you in your edits. (Those might be invisible in some HTML editors.)

An HTML file is nothing but a plain text file that incorporates special codes for web browsers. Some HTML editors have a tendency to add, automatically, lots of unnecessary markup code, which may actually damage the layout. For simple revisions I recommend a plain text editor like Notepad, Notepad++, or Textpad. (Whatever you do, don't try to use Word. Its HTML export is truly horrific.)

Hi Steve, thank you for the input. Will try Notepad too. Sheesh, physical products are much easier

I'll get the hang of the info products soon enough!
