I posted on Tuesday night that I was about to have a play with a new Website Stores system to see how easy it is to get up and running before potentially promoting it to my subscribers, as it’s been a couple of days I thought I’d post a quick update…

The system is a real nice bit of kit and in under an hour I was able to get to grips with it and pull in a LOT of targeted products from ebay, amazon and clickbank for different markets as the tutorial videos are very easy to follow, but..

Having “published” my site I discovered that the ads and pages weren’t displaying correctly at all, and whilst it’s quite probably something I’ve done wrong or not set up, I’m still waiting on their support to get in touch to help me out with it, so I guess I’m not the only one who’s had some sort of problem getting up and running.

Now there’s a couple of important points to mention here, before you get the wrong impression: -

Disorganized Marketing Costs

Sometimes insisting on testing a product out myself before telling my subscribers about it can potentially cost me sales, today is a good example, although I have to admit it’s my own fault.

A new store building system was launched a few hours ago and I knew about it far enough in advance to have been able to test it out before now, but due to my own dissorganized and hectic schedule, and perhaps spending a little too much time in Warcraft, I didn’t get around to trying it out myself before today.

So potentially I’m could miss out on some sales simply because other marketers are already letting their lists know about it, and I won’t until I’ve tried it.

I figure that if I can’t get it working for me, then I can’t promote it…

If you’re wondering why I’m doing this post rather than getting on with testing it, well I’m waiting for the nameservers to resolve for the site I’m going to test it out on, I did say I hadn’tplanned ahead on this one!
