Behind the Scenes VLOG of a Product Launch - Five Figure Niche Site Launch - Day 0 #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Behind the Scenes VLOG of a Product Launch - Five Figure Niche Site Launch - Day 0



hey what's up duck Huntington here from
the site project today is Sunday and
it's a big week for me I'm launching my
course if I figure a niche site and I
wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes
look on what I'm working on sort of the
stuff that I'm prepping ahead of time
and if I could remember to do it each
day I'll do a quick sort of recap each
day about like what happened the
previous day and what I have coming up
so I'll give you a little bit of a
baseline I am doing a five-day launch so
Monday through Friday
I've tried longer launches and you can
send more emails but I didn't find much
of a benefit from it so five seems to be
reasonable for me I don't want to send
more emails than it's necessary of
course and five is long enough for
people to make a decision so the things
that I do have on my plate are around
preparing the sales page which I've
worked pretty hard on that over you know
over time this last week I just need to
make sure you know links are updated
updated any images or testimonials as
necessary and just generally make sure
that it looks okay now I will mention
that I use thrive content builder as it
used to be called now it's thrive
architect to create the sales page to
create a sales page I started with you
know a standard long-form sales page and
then just adapted it to whatever copy
that I developed on my own so no big
deal however thrive content builder and
thrive architect it is ridiculously hard
to use it is almost unusable to me at
this point
all I was gonna do this week is just
update a couple dates so that it was
accurate and updated a couple like areas
of pricing and that sort of thing
updated some links should take maybe
thirty minutes max I've spent more than
you know eight hours on it and tried to
get help from the support team it thrive
and struggled doing that and I'm eager
to migrate away from thrive just because
it's almost an unusable product for me
and just to give you an idea right all I
was trying to do is like make sure like
fonts were consistent
so I had to change the font maybe the
text size and maybe the text color so
real minor very basic stuff and I was
unable to do it
so that is a usability issue it is
probably my fault I will take the hit a
hundred percent probably my fault it was
probably a user error but it's been the
source of frustration for years and you
know eager to move off of threat okay
moving on to more critical stuff just
things that need to be done and you may
notice there's a there's a Trello board
right here Trello is kind of what I use
to organize a lot of these launches just
because I could have a list of things a
queue of things that need to be done a
backlog if you're into that sort of
vocabulary of project management so we
have a backlog and a bunch of stuff that
I need to do and then as I do them I'm
moving them over to a done column to
make it easy I have a template for each
launch so I know like oh these 100 tasks
need to be done I have a relative idea
when they need to be done you could
develop a full schedule and put dates to
each one of the tasks each one of the
cards I've done that before I didn't do
it this time
so it's not 100% necessary it was
overkill previously so that means at
this point I need to ensure that I have
my email scheduled in Aweber to be sent
out and there's a couple other tasks so
I have like the emails that I need to
make sure sent out for my sales page
right so normally if you go to five
figure an inch site comm there's just a
wait list there's a way to opt in so
that you can go on the wait list and
then whenever the course is open for
enrollment and a person has the
opportunity to purchase at that point I
switch the home pages so these sales
pages on the front for this you know
five day period of course that's live
that's active within my you know
WordPress installation I have zippy
courses and that's what I use for the
learning management system and that
integrates with you know Aweber PayPal
Affiliate WP and so on so
that is sort of my hub of what happens
for the course and within the course I
will mention that zippy courses allows
you to set up launch windows so I could
just put in the launch window that I
want and I don't have to worry about you
know people purchasing before they're
supposed to or purchasing after they're
supposed to it is a fixed window and
that is you know that's a great way to
control it versus having to like swap
out links or turn things off as far as
other tasks I do need to you know follow
up with affiliates so I have just a
couple affiliates that I work with
they're actually like personal friends
personally I know these people and I've
known him for years so you know not only
are they people that I trust but they
trust me and I've been working with them
you know for months and you know a
couple of them for almost a year I'm
growing very slowly very organically
again I'm only working with you know
people that have known for a long time
some of which I've met in person or at
least you know spoke to on the phone
multiple times so I'm just gonna make
sure they have everything that they need
I'm pretty sure they're set been
checking with them over the last you
know couple months so this again I've
been growing slowly and organically and
I've been sort of nurturing the
relationship with the affiliates and you
know trying to make sure that the
software is working properly
that's a sidebar so let's go there so I
use affiliate WP and zippy courses and
there's also like a payment plan
component and basically it's not an
ongoing subscription but it's like you
know for a fixed amount of time so let's
say the payments are say twenty dollars
a month which they're not but let's say
it's $20 a month for like ten months or
something okay so that is set up through
PayPal it happens automatically and I
had an issue with integration between
affiliate WP and a zippe courses where I
would continue to get you know payments
from students however the affiliate
payments weren't created an affiliate WP
so that weren't communicating properly
and this is actually one of the most
difficult things that I've had to do
with the core so far because I had two
companies that don't talk to each other
right they publish API so other
applications can interface with them the
basically two separate companies that
don't talk to each other and I'm pretty
sure they never tested either company
never tested the specific workflow that
I have using you know recurring payments
PayPal affiliate WP to zippy courses it
didn't work right it didn't work and
when I contacted either company of
course they're not a hundred percent
sure what's supposed to happen and
unfortunately they would just say oh it
looks like it's working how it's
supposed to over here and it looks like
how it's working I was supposed to over
here because I am very persistent and
just needed this damn thing to work I
kept working with them and eventually
hooked him up together so that they
worked together so that it would work
and actually I got it working I think
they actually made a custom fix for me
because they weren't going to put out
like a full release but they made a
custom fix for me zippy courses did and
fingers crossed but it's gonna work I
really hope that it's gonna work now
technically it just makes everything
easier right it creates the automatic
payments through recurring payments and
PayPal but even if it didn't work I
would still be able to you know me and
you Willie do this but it's it's kind of
a pain in the butt right to manually
create the payments each month for
multiple like affiliates so it's a
little tough anyway that portion was the
hardest part and I have to be honest
that like my background and project
management and software project
management specifically helped me push
through that where you know a lot of
project management is like facilitating
and like helping people communicate and
then helping people identify where the
interface is and then working together
from there it happened all the time and
you know my corporate job where there's
multiple teams from multiple companies
some of which you know they don't like
each other they're literally competitors
and that really prepped me to get these
teams together to like make it work so
fingers crossed and it works and I guess
we'll leave it
so I'm just gonna schedule a couple
emails to make sure they're good to go
and each day I'll give a little update
on how things are going
hopefully it's interesting if you're
interested in more launch sequence
behind the scenes stuff let me know in
the comments it'll be you know really
interesting to see if anyone actually
cares about this side of it I mean I
mentioned before internet marketing
seems like a sexy really exciting area
to work in and you know what it's
awesome in a lot of ways however a lot
of it is just you know gotta sit down
you got to like do some work you have to
edit pages and you know struggle with
WordPress plugins that are not
integrated properly even though they're
supposed to be so a lot of it is just
doing work in different areas and
hanging out on a Sunday afternoon in
front of the laptop instead of you know
going outside and doing something cool
so okay I'll leave it at that
thanks for watching I'm done cutting it
in from a niche site project we'll see
