Things Are Looking Up

It took me a long time to configure a webpage with Paypal buttons. I am working on putting my free report for my subscribers still. It is a mix of paralysis by analysis and some uneasiness about trying something new. Also, my reputation is on the line. I don't want to sell junk or give away garbage. Aside from the fact that it will make me look silly and not trustworthy no one will do business with me. My site is ready for taking orders. I would still like to adjust it to have a more aesthetically pleasing structure but it is capable of collecting payment.

It is not that big a deal to put up a post on facebook to advertise for sales but I don't want to fail publicly. I want to thrive while providing a beneficial service. Now, back to my own product I need to document what I do as far as marketing and how I treat my customers. I saw another beginner marketing his services. I knew he was new because his testimonials said, "coming soon...", and he gave me a great idea. The idea is to give a discount for testimonials, bigger if it is a video testimonial.

I could give a large discount but that will cost me more money with no safety net. I can give a dollar or two per order and still make a small profit or break even. If I it costs me money for a couple of testimonials and they generate sales then I will be happy, but if I spend and it doesn't generate anything for me I just lose.

I can't afford to lose. I am going to start posting ads in facebook groups. I will advertise a service just like the marketer who I am going to buy from does. I will mention their stats. I will ask them whatever questions I get and I will do my best to provide a beneficial service to my customers' businesses. Should be pretty easy...
