How The Idea Was Born
I never thought about offering any webservice.
Creating templates was a kind of hobby. I did it for myself and for friends and
I just love it.
But the idea for my webservice concept was born when I had a chat with a friend
about the tools you need to sell a digital product and at the same time build your
list. She was really shocked, how many different templates and grafics are used,
till you have your product ready for sale.
Have you ever thought about it? Well, I have watched what the “Big Dogs” use
to sell their products and get your name and e-mail address:
You need
- a domain and hosting,
- an autoresponder and the
- optin form customized to fit your templates,
- an instruction page about what to do next which will be seen after subscription
- your first autoresponder email to lead your visitor to your bonus-
or your salespage
- a series of emails for your autoresponder to stay in contact with your subscriber
- a squeeze-, splash- or landingpage
- a bonuspage
- your salespage
- one or two One-Time-Offer pages
- a download- or thankyou page
- a testimonial template to include into your salespage or OTO
- a blog to quickly get indexed at google, yahoo and msn and build your authority
and you need all the grafics like:
- company logo in different sizes,
- different headers as pictures or one header as a backgroundpicture where
you can include the text you need and which can be read by the search engines,
- footer,
- at least 2 different banners
- ecovers or whatever product picture you need
I’m sure you can imagine the feelings of somebody who wants to sell his products
but does not have any idea on how to create a template or grafics.
Of course there are a lot of templates offered on the market and a lot of grafics you
can use and they are affordable but….
And there comes my idea and concept:
Do you want to promote products only or do you want to promote your own
branding, your own name and company?
If you want to get well known as a company then you need a brandname,
a company logo, your own colors, a unique corporate design which nobody else on the whole internet has.
Since I try to build my own business I’m using the same logo, company name and company colors.
I’m convinced if you do a good service and your customers are satisfied, you
will be recognized by your design before your visitor can read your name.
Whenever you are advertising a page of yours, the same design shows up
and gets more and more known.
My customers should only have to write the content into the templates without
having any trouble with formatting and the templates themselves.
O.K., now I got the idea and I got a concept. What next?
I had to prepare at least 3 different collections to be used as reference and show
my visitors, what they can get.
I will tell you next time.

That Is The Situation Now
Well, here I am again to tell you a bit more about my first business I’m going online with.
By preparing the Promotion of my webservice I could make my own experience with my templatecollection and I found out, that it really saves time and was much quicker done then ever before when I was trying to prepare a product for sale.
To give you an idea how it can ease your work too, have a look at my sample collections right HERE.
Now, since everything has been prepared for offering this webservice and I have gathered 100000ds of points to advertise and promote my service, why is it not online yet?
Very simple reason: I cannot write my own salesletter and am not yet in the position to outsource it.
Well, there is an Optinpage, there is a salesletter, there is everything which belongs to a product promotion, even a big bonuspackage, but…
I was told, that I have written in a way, nobody would understand.
I was told I’m using a “germanenglish” which no American would ever be able to understand.
I was told nobody would even signup to reach the salespage because of missing, interesting content on the splashpage.
I was told nothing on my salespage will make the visitor go on reading.
Well, I think all these critics are true. My english may be good enough to write and tell something in this blog, at forums or social networks. But writing a salescopy which really throws the readers off their chairs and makes them running after me to get my service - this is for sure very difficult using the mothertongue, but in a foreign language it seems to be nearly impossible.
So I got the idea to write about my new business on my blog, lead my valued readers to my salespage and ask for YOUR comments regarding my optin- and salespage.
Please do me the favour and only send constructive comments which can help me to improve.
As my Thank You for your help, you not only can keep the announced bonus from my salespage but you will also get the password to my blogs Bonus Area as soon as I published your comment and you have left me some contact to pass the password on to you.
And now, I put my optin-page and salesletter into your hands and hope I can improve and learn a lot.
With warm regards and a big thank you
Yours Renate Schedl
