Hi Deepu,

If you read any of my feedback you will see that I take care of all my customers so you are in good hands I assure you! However, I do have some questions before I can quote you accurately.

Am I adding these items to your existing site? If so, what is the link and which software does your site function on? Also, not entirely sure what you mean by "I will trade without website", can you clarify please?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi,

Yes I know Clickbank and know how to do the type of system you are wanting to build. However, you say no website needed but you also say "go to opt-in page" which contradict each other.

The opt-in page where the free report lives and the form to subscribe will be on a website?

Hi Deepu,

Please confirm the task list:

-Build a short form to capture email address
-Place form on front / squeeze page
-Captured email will be sent to getresponse newsletter and then visitor sent to download page
-Build download page with link to free product
-Build sales page for sending visitors from inside newsletter
-Build thank you page where paid product download link.
will be taken to a page where they can download free product.

Please give a link to your domain and tell me which host you are using before I can quote you?

One more question, you mention that something is designed and almost ready. Not sure if you mean those pages are going to be provided or if you are talking about the Ebook being almost ready?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Deepu,

I don't think I am getting a sense of what you are explaining so I will not be able to bid on your project at this time.

Sorry I could not help out.

    It sounds as if you want to create a system in which:

    1. A user comes to your opt in page
    2. Then enters their email and receives a free gift
    3. Then you can email them and market additional clickbank products or your own product
    4. You also want a sales page, I'm assuming to sell your own product

    I would start with something like this:

    I am looking for a web developer to create a sales funnel for me. I will need a website that will sell my product (I would hire a copywriter to write the sales copy for this page and give the text to the developer).. Something similar to Pregnancy Miracleâ„¢ - Cure Infertility and Get Pregnant Naturally

    Additionally, I need an opt-in page to capture emails and provide a free gift via email to those who sign up. Something similar to: email optin page - Google Search

    I need my free gift to be hosted and delivered via email to those who sign up. Or a user can be taken to an additional thank you page and download the product from there. (your choice, you can send them to the thank you page that says "thank you, please check your email for ____________.")

    I think the developer was correct, he was trying to understand what you needed but gave up. It might be a case of miscommunication due to different languages, but if you ask anyone to build pages but you don't have\need a website then is hard to understand. Going forward the best way to communicate what you need to a developer is using mockups (examples) of each page, showing the navigation that you want a visitor to take, add requirements to communicate how to build the page, add use cases to communicate actions, events and process. You will need some patience and you will get better at this, even on the biggest companies communication between what business needs and what the developers can create is difficult.

    I think the problem here is you are asking for the impossible! If you want an opt-in page then you will have to have a website creating but you kept telling poor Stefan that it wasn't necessary.

    Try again, with someone new, but give him a link to a competitors setup that you want to replicate. Then they can tell you what's needed.

      I think my communication is pretty bad...
      I don't need anyone to make any pages...they are all ready, written by copywriter, designed by graphic designer.I don't see why I need a website to sell an ebook, but if you guys say so, i'll get working on that...iit'll delay everything by weeks, possibly months.
      This is really bad news for me.
      I know someone who made millions from ebooks, with no website

        If this is the case, then everything is one big contradiction and you can add me to the list of people who have no idea what you want.

    I'm a web developer. I'd prefer my clients to show me a sample (or two) of the website(s) they like. From there, work on refinements and customizations. Always easier to have a reference point.
