Hello,
I had some questions about JP Schoeffel's "Reviews-In-A-Box" mentioned in yesterday's newsletter so I decided to answer them all in another newsletter rather than sending individual emails.
Do I need my own website?
Yes, you need webspace to upload the files to. I have been using hostassured.com as my web host for the past eight years and like their service. But there are many more web hosts that are very reliable and affordable. I have a list of a few of them on my site at http://everydaybusinessonline.com/webhost.htm
Do I need to know HTML?
The only thing you need to know is how to make a live link. I'll show you how to do that in moment.
All the rest of the HTML is already done for you in the template. You just need to do a little bit of editing the template before you upload it.
You can open the template in a text editor such as notepad or in an HTML editor if you have one. Then scroll through it to find the places where JP Schoeffel indicates for you to make the changes. For example, you will see the places where it says "Your Website Name". Remove that and insert your website name or your own name if you prefer.
Also where it says "Visit the Official Site", make that a live link to your affiliate link for the product. Here's how to make a live link:
<a href="http://youraffiliatelinkgoeshere.com/">Visit the official site here</a>
What is my affiliate link?
All the products reviewed are in the Clickbank Marketplace. If you already have a Clickbank affiliate account, just insert your affiliate ID in the link. Like this: YourAffliateID.ProductID.hop.clickbank.net JP Schoeffel will already have the "ProductID" in the link for you. Just remove "YourAffliateID" and insert your Clickbank Affiliate ID. If you don't have a Clickbank account, you can easily get one at clickbank.com
How do I get paid?
Clickbank looks after all sales and payments for you. They will send you a payment every two weeks, either by check or by direct deposit into your bank account.
Do I need a mailing list or newsletter?
There is an email capture form in the template where you edit to insert your subscription information, but you don't need to use it if you don't have a list or if you don't want to build a list. Just edit out the whole form.
Do I have to put the video on my site?
No, if you prefer not to use the video just edit out the HTML. You will find it between the tags.
What if I make a mistake when editing the template and ruin it? Can I get another copy?
Sure, just go to the members area and download it again. But, I would suggest you save the original template under a different name such as "indexoriginal.html", and then do all your editing on the "index.html" copy. If you ruin it, go back to the original copy and re-save as "index.html" and it will overwrite the copy you made the mistakes on.
How do I market my Review site online?
You can submit your site to the search engines. I have a list of search engines at http://everydaybusinessonline.com/searchengines.htm Most search engines, especially Google, will eventually find your site anyway, but you can still submit it if you want. It may help to do that with some of the smaller directories.
All the meta tags, with keywords and description are already in the template. So anyone searching for a review on that certain product will find it in the search engine.
You can post on marketing forums and use a signature file under your name that says something like "Online Marketing Product Reviews."
Three articles are included with every package. You can submit them to article directories, such as ezinearticles.com I would suggest you make a few changes to the articles first to make it more original. At the end of the articles, you insert your resource box with a link to your website.
You can post free classifieds. I have a directory of Free Classifieds sites at http://everydaybusinessonline.com/adsites.htm Many people like to read reviews before purchasing a product so an ad that says to read the pros and cons of a product will be eye catching.
I think that covers all the questions. You can read more about Reviews-In-A-Box at the official site http://everydaybusinessonline.com/goto/reviews
Here is what comes with each review site:
- You will get professional unbiased reviews, with both good and bad points about the product. - Professionally designed templates and graphics. - Video embedded into the template that thoroughly covers the product's benefits. - Professional Copywriting throughout the site. - Professionally written Articles. - Professionally written Autoresponder Messages - and more.
