Hope Im Going Down The Right Track
Hey everyone,
I’m a newbie to IM, I have read a couple of books and got some great advice from a member here but I’m kind of at the point where the real technical work starts, so was hoping a some of you very kind folk on here couple spare me a couple of minutes of precious time.
I was recommended to write an information product as it’s supposedly the quickest way to get the ball rolling. I think I should be OK at writing as I have a background of reports/assignments from my University days and Accounting exams over the last couple of years, and I generally enjoy writing.
So I have suffered my whole life with a stutter/stammer (still have it but I have learned to live with it and be happy), hence stuttering is what I chose to be my niche, it makes sense to write about something which you know intimately. I spent all last week, 10 hours a day, putting together a draft copy of approx 11,000 words. It basically covers my real life experiences as a stutterer, how to learn to control it and desensitise your fears in your mind, no magic promised, it’s just the stuff that works for me and should work for any stutterer. I will continue to tweak it until I’m happy.
As far as I’m aware, I need to build a ‘squeeze page’ and this page will offer a free tips sheet or similar, in turn I will gather email addresses and build a list, then link through to my sales page. Along with setting up an autoresponder to send out emails to potential customers. Does that sound correct? Getting traffic to the site seems to be a problem everyone has, as a newbie I can see this as my major challenge – that’s cool, I like a challenge :-)
I’m going to start the process of setting up the site set up now and dealing with domain names/hosting, email service, autoresponders etc. This the first site I will have ever set up, I’m pretty good with adapting to new things and challenges so I can’t see it being a problem for me to learn new things, hopefully I won’t make too many mistakes, as they say, mistakes = time, and time = money.
I guess this post was just to give myself the feeling that I’m going down the right track, of course I will make lots of errors on the way and learn as I’m going along, but I don’t want to be stuck reading and reading as I feel I could potentially sap up a lot of time. I need to get into action and get moving. Any tips or words of wisdom will be greatly welcomed. I will surely be back on here asking for advice on specifics in due course, as well as sharing what I learn along my ride with you guys.
Cheers folks
