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

I have dealt with Paypal for years and have never had any problems with them..I have heard some negatives but haven't encountered these issues myself. I have never heard of this nanacast and am wary of anything until I know its tried and true

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.

Josh. I meant Screw Paypal, clickbank because Nanacast is the answer...

I'm sorry if it came off the wrong way.

I enjoyed meeting you and the assistance you have given me has been brilliant. I have no reason to slag Nanacast considering I am on the verge of signing up.

Check my recent posts. I've been doing promo for Nanacast.

Regardless, I will change it so that it isn't taken that way!

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

Love it...glad I got it...wouldn't use anything else.

Enough said?

Josh thanks for this system and I am glad I found my home.

Cheers,

Brad

The nanacast platform is the only complete ecommerce + membership site creation system that is integrated with Aweber.

Just log in to your aweber account and click on email parsers and you will see it in the email parser list:


The trial signup link is found on Nanacast.com's home page.

Yes, Nanacast does everything you are looking for including one click upsells with credit card checkout.

We can help ALL US and Canadian applicants and many international applicants obtain an Authorize.net enabled merchant account.

If you can incorporate in the EU you might qualify for a PayPal Website Payments Pro, or www.Eway.co.uk gateway enabled merchant account or possibly a Durango Merchant Services or NMI gateway enabled merchant account.

You can also process via PayPal standard and 2checkout but one click upsells only work with a real merchant account.

Curious to hear this one as well.

As a side note, a few people mentioned that $100 per month is too much. Here is how I break it down based on $2000 on sales per month for my business.

My business heavily relies on continuity so I would be charged 9% through clickbank. Nanacast is only 2 - 3% (merchant account and gateway fees).

If I do $2000 in sales:

Clickbank costs: $2000 x 9% = $180
Nanacast costs: $2000 x 3% + $97 = $157

So I am saving on a monthly basis AND I have WAY more features available to me and control over my business than a clickbank or 2CO.

Too expensive?

Know what Maria?

One of the very first programs I plan to launch using Nanacast.com (Fairly certain now) is Ultra Uber Achiver Club... So yes, in a sense we are also way too excited about this.

Josh,

Durango-direct claim over 95% acceptance rate for international merchants. That is on their website. If that is true, then why do you say we need to incorporate in EU? Also, if the numbers on their website are true, I believe that you might be having an even better success rate than the average general acceptance rate for anyone else. Right?

I know nothing about incorporating in EU. Josh, can you please help me with that? You Know that I am damn serious and have been unable to maximize business because of the lack of proper payment processors. I am already falling in love with Nanacast... Authorize.net or Durango is the last missing piece of the puzzle. I am willing to take the action required to incorporate in EU... as long as it really helps me be with Durango. I need your help on this, Josh and I am asking for that

I just completed the application process for Authorize.net through the link you provided above... And I hope to hear some good news very soon.

-Lakshay

If Frank Kern and his guys use it, the system must be solid!

Here are the exact numbers:

Charge Today Merchant Account Fees (the merchant account Nanacast set me up with)
$10 per month
2.19% +.$25 transaction fee

Authorize.net (the gateway Nanacast set me up with)
$20 per month
$.10 transaction fee

Nanacast
$97 / month

Totals:
$127 / month USD

$.35 USD processing fee
2.19% transaction fee



This is a WAY cheaper solution than any other option out there (Clickbank 9%).

The videos linked from the "How To" page top corner especially these three (the playlist pops open from page below) will show you various areas of the publisher account where you run everything from:

Viral and Premium Account Training

The system is an online service. No scripts to install. Run unlimited sites with it.

We provide an api you can use to integrate with third party scripts.

We provide a wordpress plugin... but joomla you will need to do via the api or hire someone to do for you.
Not sure what that means... but yes, it likely does most everything BFM does and definitely a lot more.

Its not really a me too... we do most everything you would want but you will find we take a different smoother approach than most others.

Yes for billing and customer service type purposes ie. if you have a support staff you can create limited access accounts so they can help you manage your customer support.

No but there are already great pdf branding apps out there. Viral PDF is one.

You can use our API and integrate with drm scripts if you want... however I think a better approach is to publish content as membership sites. That way you can not only update the content in real time but it makes your site sticky and gives you more chances to build relationships and sell.

Our membership content system has plenty of automated access security... refund - access ends, stop paying - access ends, IP access limits etc.
Sure we provide out of the box integration/automation on demand with disk, vervante and kunaki, we also integrate with PMI fulfillment and you can use our API to integrate with any fulfillment house.

You can also use our autoated notification system to send email notifications with selected fields for fulfillment either in house or to any other fulfillment house you may be using.

We do it better than any other system

Every type of continuity (micro, forced, bump, trial, multi pay, recurring,) and we have specially desiged features for physical continuity in our billing system.

You can do physical continuity with traditional fulfillment or you can do it on demand for disks, books, binders, combo packs, news letters etc.

Dvd, book, cd, newsletter of the week, month... whatever we can do it.

True on demand with no up front costs as well if you use Vervante.com Disk and kunaki require some front load.

Heck we can even broadcast on demand print products to the door steps of subscriber bases.

Think of email autoresponder and broadcast system except for physical... that's what we can do.

Yes
Nanacast will email you or send via api any info you capture in the sales process and you can even define which fields you capture get sent to whom.... if say you have a shipping department and a phone lead follow up department.

You will need to print your own labels.

Hi Its Trish,

I noticed your questions to Josh about nanacast and I wanted to follow up with you.

I also use Joomla and wanted to know if you have set up anything with nanacast yet that interfaces with joomla?

Great questions for Josh too. What kind of business are you tied to?

I specialize in real estate training, investing and marketing & speaking. Looking to do more JV's or teleseminars, etc.

I have about 100 domains and am working on getting various products launched and automated as quickly as I can.

After getting Nanacast going and seeing what a great system it is, I will second what Chris says. Its worth the $ and the $ is nothing if you are setting up your business properly!

Josh. You're up as late as I am. Thank you for the very detailed response...I really appreciate that and will definitely try out the 7 day trial very soon and give it a test.

Interesting on the store front concept...looking forward to seeing what you develop on that.

Thanks again Josh.

Hi Josh,

Has there been any further progress made in regards to the implementation of these store fronts? (original posts was from Sep 2009)

Just curious as I'd think it could be useful to be able to have all digital products in one location with the visitor able to "add to cart" the items they would like to purchase at once (instead of requiring the additional upsells)

Not a big deal if not, just didn't notice any talk of it in the How to Video area so I thought I'd ask!

Chargeback Guardian is a gateway that works with a merchant account... its much like Authorize.net. Its actually a white label variation of the NMI gateway.

They provide an additional suite of services and protocols that help you avoid and challenge chargebacks.

It is s premium gateway that is recommended for companies doing significant volume to help them stay below the 1% chargeback threshold set by Visa and Mastercard that if exceeded can cause merchant accounts (from any provider) to be flagged and in some cases suspended... in the worst case scenarios merchants who are reckless or who get in over their head with too much volume and not enough human resources to meet the needs of clients could be blacklisted by the merchant provider industry.

Chargeback guardian can help merchants challenge and win disputes for fraudulent chargebacks that are common in online purchases. They take care of the chargeback dispute process for those companies doing significant volume so that the company can focus on running their business.

Most people in IM do not truly understand how to manage and the importance of being prepared when it comes to merchant processing.

I will shortly be releasing an interview that I feel is a must listen when it comes to anyone doing business using a merchant account. It provides a great education from an industry insider and a vendor that we are now recommending people running CPA offers, doing continuity, or anyone doing more than a couple dozen orders a day get in touch with.

This is an education long overdue for the IM market.

I will post here as soon as I make this recording available... it will be a real eye opener.

This particular vendor after finding our the need and goals of an operation sometimes recommends chargeback guardian especially for businesses at risk of exceeding 1% chargeback rate. Staying below that rate is the key to keeping any merchant account no matter who your provider is and what solution you are using.

Nanacast also is fully integrated with other powerful risk reduction and follow up services such as Upsell.com which provides call back services after an order is placed. Upsell.com phone verification not only helps identify fraudulent transactions where an incorrect phone number was provided but they also can help in the back end sales process increasing lead value.

It can be used in all sorts of operations but its big for CPA. Many of these advanced features are in Nanacast because we also operate our own CPA network off the same platform under another label. So our publishers get the benefit of having access to features that larger operations running CPA offers enjoy and use to reduce risk in their massive volume operations.

Since I am mentioning a few of these cool features here I will add... we are also integrating our own automated phone verification system. This will be a feature that publishers can use (credit based) to deliver a verification pin via digital automated phone calls or sms (text) that the prospect is required to receive and enter before they can access an offer. This particular feature would normally be used in lead generation campaigns where the person running the campaign is offering some highly valuable offer for free but requires a valid phone number and email to be provided by the lead to get the offer. The automated lead phone number verification system we are soon to release on both nanacast and our cpa network is a true industry groundbreaking technology that previously has only been available through very few high end lead gen campaign managers. Now we will make it available to anyone regardless of the volume they wish to do. This is huge if you are wanting to break into phone verified lead generation business but I am sure that others will come up with creative ideas for its use.

We don't actively seek partners and very few qualify. It takes a monthly financial commitment to cover the high end dedicated hosting we require to be added to our private cabinet on gigabit uplink. We also require minimum performance and growth (significant revenue). Partners provide their own branding, training, full time staff, and dedicated management. Partners must have access to and actively market to as well as recruit super affiliates in markets that we generally do not already have reach in.

We do not offer white labels publicly. Its just something that happens naturally when it makes sense to partner with a company.

For paypal your client goes to paypal. For credit card your client goes to our secure checkout page which you can completely customize with your own html and look and feel and use a tag to place our order form area in the html where you want it to appear.

Just like any hosted service providing secured SSL encrypted ecommerce processing solution we have the SSL so the checkout must happen on our secure page. This is the same in solutions such as Paypal and 1shoppingcart.

Anyone hosting their own page is running their own script and hopefully has their own SSL. If they don't you should never buy from them.

We are a hosted service.
Its up to you but we provide built in digital file link protection if you want to use it. We allow people to add their Amazon s3 account access to their nanacast profile.

This enables people to upload files through nanacast to their s3 account.

The reason we do this is because we then deploy powerful file locking security in three layers:

1. Nanacast creates a cloaked link that is locked to the individual subscribers IP address.
2. Nanacast locks down access to that cloaked link via a private key/public key system that works much like Amazon s3 file security.
3.Nanacast also sets private key/public key security in your amazon account on that file automatically to add a third layer of security.

If that url is ever shared not only will it not work but if you spot someone sharing it you can discover who that person is because the link is identifiable to an individual subscriber.

That is not all...

If you use nanacast's rss, podcast, and membership system for providing access to pages or additional content you can set IP access limits that limit the number of IP addresses that can access a feed, podcast, or membership per day or per lifetime.

You can set the system to pause the access of the subscriber if that limit is breached and email you about the breach or you can just set it to silently notify you of the breach so you can follow up with them.

The combination of these security protocols (the file security + the feed/membership security) and the the unique individual subscriber content management automation system is what makes Nanacast and its partners the most powerful premium feed management system on the internet today.

Even if someone were to share a Nanacast podcast feed that had media files that were uploaded through the nanacast s3 upload and lockdown process other people would not be able to access those enclosed files.

In other words... we've got it covered more powerfully than any other solution.

We do so much of what the other systems lack that people desperately want but up until now most of our marketing has been by word of mouth... that is from clients who are using us and telling their colleagues about how wonderful our service is.

And yes, it is all true

In fact today we are helping a person who has over 2000 paying subscribers of a blog membership currently being managed by an Inc. 500 listed ecommerce and crm company...

And he is not the first to leave that solution and migrate to us.

That alone should tell you something about what we offer since no one in their right mind would migrate their active paying subscriber base from a solution like that, which is one of the most marketed and popular in IM, unless we had the goods

Hi Josh
I am going for your system it looks pretty sharp.

"We do so much of what the other systems lack that people desperately want but up until now most of our marketing has been by word of mouth... that is from clients who are using us and telling their colleagues about how wonderful our service is."

To be honest I think that you could do better with your website conversion wise . It did put me off and only reading these forums have convinced me to sign up.

" Trish find a while label of Aweber some still run on the old rates I think.

One thing to mention I am have a real challenge finding a payment gateway
Eway (UK, AU, and NZ) allow me to only Charge in NZD even though 95 % of my market is international. Authorize .net does not handle international . NMI has only one guy whom seems hard to get hold of have spoken twice and still no joy with any recomendations from them .

Does any one have any advise on International Merchants services that we can integrate with Nanacast . We have been in business for 10 years and are considered high risk because of where we live.

Hi Debbie:

There are a few benefits:

1. You don't have to install a single script or ever hire a programmer to build membership site after membership site. So instead of spending months being an IT developer and managing programmers trying to get it right you can spend minutes setting up a membership site and then get on to what makes you money.... publishing content and selling it :-)

2. You get to use our superior content management system. There is nothing... and I mean NOTHING else like it on the internet today. No other system, no other script, no other service can deliver and manage as many types of content delivery as our system does in one place.

3. You can pump out unlimited membership sites, products, podcasts, rss feeds, and physical on demand print products and continuity programs and manage them all from one central location. Again no scripts to install no programmers to hire.

4. You never have to worry about updates or server management... we take care of all that in real time. When an amazing new feature comes out... you get it automatically :-)

1. We run dedicated servers on a private cabinet in a data center at ThePlanet which is one of the largest hosting providers in the US. We are under contract with them for tens of thousands of dollars a year and cannot break that contract without severe penalties.

2. We run on top of the line servers with high end hardware raids, and data backup and pay more each month for each of our individual servers than most people in this forum pay in several years for their hosting... even with the discount we negotiated ;-)

Our private cabinet and the servers on it are connected to the internet with a gigabit uplink for massive bandwidth capabilities. The average server today has only 1/100th to 1/10th of the pipe we provide for bandwidth.

In other words you get to run your ecommerce, affiliate management, sales funnels, and content delivery with server and bandwidth resources that you would not otherwise be able to afford.

3. Your nanacast account can be hooked to your Amazon s3 account for file hosting and file protection giving you unlimited bandwidth for podcast and media hosting. We have also integrated three layers of security protocals for s3 file protection two of those layers including ip and private/public key security happen on the nanacast platform and one is automatically configured on your s3 account as nanacast uploads your file to it. By doing this we have the industry's leading file protection system no only for downloads but also for embedded media and media enclosures in rss feeds. This means that your downloadable files and embedded media source urls cannot be hotlinked and shared.

4. Nanacast provides additional security protocols on top of the file protection security. One layer is unique feeds and user accounts. User accounts are protected with password and username logins. Feeds have optional security settings which you can set to the level you want. You can set limits on the number of IP addresses that can access a feed, podcast, or membership area in a day or a lifetime. You can set it so that if that limit is exceeded the system will email and notify you and optionally suspend the access until you resolve the issue.

There are even more security features than that but those are the basics.

5. We have been providing publishing services since 2006. We provide publishing services to some of the top names in marketing online in many niches. We were the premium content delivery system for the 2008 New Media Expo at the Las Vegas convention center which was the premiere trade show for the new media industry until it was acquired this year by Blog World which combined the expo.

We have had a booth at the expo every year as well as speakers representing us there and we will have Paul Colligan representing us at Blog World this year as well.

We are in negotiations with some major main stream hardware and service providers for on demand integration with home entertainment systems. I cannot say much on that as we are not supposed to disclose who and what until it goes live... but these are major companies.

Paul Colligan presented about our platform on the Google Campus at Google Tech Talk and we have had communication about integration with one of the offerings of another big three company.

We have several labels of our platform running in several niches with partners including Mike Koenigs and Rocket Helstrom of Traffic Geyser, Paul Colligan, and Gil Ortega.

Many warriors run their entire business day in and day out using our platform.

In the real estate niche many people are now using nanacast not just for information publishing but also for ecommerce and affiliate management with api integration into other database management, account management, and property management solutions.

Lately most of our new clients are either leaving infusionsoft for us or choosing us over them. Including one client who moved an entire paying continuity subscriber base of 2000 clients to our system from infusionsoft.

In other words... we're not planning on going anywhere ;-)

6. You can use our content delivery system or you can use our plugin and deliver your content in a blog which you host. If you have a viral premium level account you can use our cname feature and the cname in your registrar to make our membership site system look like it resides on your own website.

If you are planning on creating and selling membership sites... that have active subscriber bases then it is easy to do with our platform. However, you will need to transfer the entire publisher account that the membership site is in over to the new owner.

Also it is highly recommended that if that is going to be your business model that you only sell access to the membership with credit card/merchant account preferably Authorize.net gateway enabled.

That way the transition to the new owner is just pasting in a couple of merchant processing gateway keys and you're done.

We also support NMI gateways and any gateway with an authorize.net emulator.

Likely she just did not acquaint herself fully as to how our system works.

In one click you can duplicate an entire membership, product, podcast, or rss feed and then edit and make any changes as you need.

You can also mirror offers and content for other strategies.

If you wanted you could set up a dummy offer and copy it anytime you create a new one if you just want a template to start with.

So yes. We already do this and this has been a feature even before Alice signed up.

Yes, as I mentioned before nanacast has a blog plugin that you can use if you like, you can use our cname feature to make our hosted membership sites look like they reside on your own server (viral premium accounts only)...

Yes, you can use your own thank you pages if you want... but ours are much more powerful and provide you security and automation you may want to take advantage of ;-)

Also we provide both outbound and inbound api so you can use our ecommerce and affiliate management front end with any third party script you develop or want/can integrate with.

Yes.

The only thing I would note is that our way of delivering "levels" is different... you use a general purpose login to deliver all the memberships you have sold a person which is why I recommend using memberships for delivering most offers especially when selling multiple different offers in upsell downsells...

I recommend you watch my 20 minute presentation on the main page of http://nanacast.com which answers directly your questions about physical integration... we go far beyond Kunaki and no other platform on the net today matches what we can do for physical on demand print business models.

Also watch the videos especially the overview videos on how it works on the How To page of Nanacast.com

A little clarification to for those who
are doing research into what system to use......

InfusionSoft = Cart/Upsells/Downsells/OTOs/etc + Integrated Email & Autoresponders + No Membership System

Nanacast = Cart/Upsells/Downsells/OTOs/etc + No Email & Autoresponders + Integrated Membership system


Prominent well-knowns and IM gurus have been using InfusionSoft
for some time. It's a proven, solid, robust system.
However earlier this year InfusionSoft removed their $4,000 setup fee,
opening their doors to more than just the rich & famous.
They saw a huge influx of new customers. But they were not geared to handle
so many customers, which is why people had terrible experienes
in getting timely responses to their support tickets, and why
some people have jumped ship.

InfusionSoft has been promising to improve their customer service.
Don't know whether that's just lip service, or whether
they've taken proactive steps in that direction.
Does anyone have any recent experiences with InfusionSoft customer service & support?

Trish : - )

ps ......

Frank Kern is still using InfusionSoft, and as of a few months ago Tony Robbins started using them.
Those guys do MASSIVE sales, for example during a product launch
a guy like Kern rakes in $millions in one day. InfusionSoft handles it seamlessly.

InfusionSoft is robust enough for the big guys which makes me want it.
But I'm terrified at getting into a system with terrible
customer service and slow support response times.

People's perception of "big volume" is not what we perceive as big volume...

We think of big volume in terms of hundreds of thousands of clients subscribed to a podcast feed pinging an episode or logging into a membership area...

If you were planning on processing hundreds of thousands of orders during a short period of time you should notify us to we can monitor your launch and work out the additional contract required for accounts that generate more than one hundred thousand subscriber (client) records.

If you are only planning on generating thousands or tens of thousands of orders then there is no need to notify us.

How much money you process does not matter one bit. Its when you get into the hundreds of thousands of clients that you need to chat with us so we can work out a special contract with your company as we have different fee schedules for businesses who have more than 100 thousand client records in the system.

We have designed systems that right now daily are being used to serve up ad scripts and process millions of hits to more intensive applications than the checkout process on nanacast.

Nanacast has more server resources than most of these people who do big launches have had.

When you have seen problems during people's launches it is generally because they had small pipes (limited bandwidth) poorly optimized sales pages, and were hosting their own shoppingcart script on the same hosting resources as the poorly optimized sales pages.

In other words... its not nanacast you need to worry about when it comes to real significant volume... its your own on site optimization on your own website and sales pages.

This is one of the biggest myths in IM... that these gurus generate significant "volume" in terms of actual orders ($$ amount has nothing to do with it).

They may have spikes in traffic to their site but the actual transaction volume they do is small (in the thousands and tens of thousands) and the issues they experience are usually due to poor planning, weak hosting, and a serious lack of website optimization and load balancing for their media and other heavy scripts.

Of course for those who do need to do significant $$ volume we assist many people with that as well. We can help people get into the load balanced merchant account solution that they need through our partners and Nanacast also has a feature for rotating merchant accounts for automatic load balancing so you don't bust your merchant account monthly processing limits...

Again that has nothing to do with Nanacast's ability to process volumes of transactions (volume has nothing to do with $$ amount) but is something we provide as a benefit for publishers who need some assistance balancing their merchant account processing volume between multiple accounts if they experience significant growth in their business.

We provide you support. You provide your clients support. I am not sure what you mean by product information.

The support we provide is normal support... for example if you cannot find the answer to a question, have a "how do I do this," "what does this mean," or "can you do this" type question, if you experience a technical issue, etc.

However, it is not unreasonable for a company to require additional fees for things like strategy consultations and other one on one consultations.

We will likely offer other services to clients in the realm of consulting as well... but we do provide excellent included support. Just ask any current nanacast user.

But we expect users to do their part too and be respectful. Nothing is worse than someone who refuses to read documentation, practice using the system, and incessantly badgers the support desk thinking they can somehow learn by not doing anything despite being provide excellent support :-)

Amanda, I am assuming you are referring to hosting payment page 1 of 3
on one's own secure server. In doing it the default way, i.e. the payment page
on InfustionSoft's secure server, there is no technical knowledge required.
But it you want to host the payment page on your own server (perhaps to do
custom mods to it, for example adding lightboxes, or firesale countdown scripts, etc)
then you have to copy/paste the html they provide, and save it as a webpage
on your own server, and then add your custom mods. That will take some
html expertise, or further technical knowledge.


From watching InfusionSoft's tutorial videos, looks like it will take about 1 day
to get totally up to speed, and to get things setup.
Being that it's an all-in-one solution for e-commerce for all of your websites,
I'd say that type of time investment is not too shabby.

And worth a mention... Kudos to InfusionSoft for putting out more new how-to videos.
Usually when I see the phrase "how-to videos" I expect them to be
long and boring screencam vids. However, InfusionSoft has produced
some very professional, easy-to-follow, and fast moving videos.
And the how-to vids can be accessed from the Admin area, so if you
get stuck, just pop up the tutorial video. Nicely done.


But has InfusionSoft's customer service & support improved?....

I'd still like to hear more feedback on this. Amanda your input about your positive
experience with InfusionSoft is much appreciated.
My intent is to see whether they have improved as they've promised
they would (i.e. adjusted their system to handle the large influx of new
customers that occurred when they dropped their $4,000 setup fee)
or whether their customer service and support are still suffering
from their recent large and sudden growth.

Anyone else have any recent experience?

Trish : - )

Duh! I'm researching a new solution
just like everyone else on this thread.
(and everyone here knows I am not
yet an InfusionSoft customer)

Look Josh, it's not necessary to attempt to discredit me
with regards to my comments about your competitor's system.

Because I've spent literally days in the Nanacast & InfusionSoft demos
and watching the lengthy tutorial videos, I am more than qualified
to make the comments that I've made about InfusionSoft's features.

Thanks to everyone who has contacted me direclty
regarding InfusionSoft's customer service.
(I need to get into a new solution fast, so hopefully
I'm making the right decision here!)

Trish : - )

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.

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

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.

for what? A fully hosted cutting edge business system like Nanacast?

It is too cheap.

Please post your questions to our support desk:

Nanacast Support

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.

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 :-)

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?

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.

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.

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

Thank you, Sir.

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

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

You can use PayPal standard. There are limitations to what paypal standard can do though... for example paypal standard does not work with one click upsells... you can still do upsells but it will not be one click.

You also cannot do forced continuity or bundled trials for separate offers with paypal.

For those type of things you need a merchant account or paypal website payments or pay flow pro to accomplish.

But everything else works with paypal standard the same way.

You probably misunderstood what Nanacast is...

Nanacast the front and/or back end for automating your entire business from the affiliate tracking, the client capture, to the sales transaction, to the upsells/downsells, to the content delivery, to the physical product fulfillment, to the additional back end content embedded upsell process, to the billing management, to the subscriber management, etc.

PayPal is just a payment processor. One of the many you can use with Nanacast

Josh, planning on signing up in the next couple days. If I opt for the $99 option initially, can I seamlessly/smoothly upgrade to the $150 level later on without having to 'start from scratch' again?

Thanks,
John
