Well I downloaded Nigel Yip’s eBook on making an animoto video and got started right away. His thorough report was easy to follow and I was able to get this first video attempt done and uploaded to YouTube in less than an hour!

So, thanks go to Nigel and here is the fruits of my labour:

Ok, so I made my first silly mistake this week (for this project anyway). After rebranding the list building report I renamed it to something a bit more user friendly and descriptive. Unfortunately I forgot to change the link on the thank you page to reflect this new name. Doh! So anyone who actually signed up for the free report would be getting a dead link instead. Not good.

When I tested the system at the weekend, I went through the whole process EXCEPT the final step of trying to actually download the free product. This is such a simple step I guess I just assumed that nothing could go wrong, totally forgetting that I’d changed the name of the eBook before uploading it.

So, lesson learned, test EVERYTHING, and then test it again.

I spent this weekend doing my homework like a good boy, instead of going to the pub to watch the footy (that’s soccer for the american readers) like I do most saturdays.

It did feel good to get it all up and running though, and I must say Alex made it look so simple and straight-forward I began to wonder why I’ve never been able to do it before! Although having a killer product to market does help I guess :)

I know Alex has been recommending Hostgator in his training videos, but I thought I’d mention another company that I use called Hostnine.

I heard about them from a training course that I bought from Steve Clayton and their reseller package is perfect for this kind of business where, hopefully as it grows, you will need more and more domain names. The reseller package basically lets you set up unlimited accounts for yourself, so you can use one account per domain/project. Their customer service is second to none, they have always got back to me within an hour of putting in a support ticket, and usually well under an hour. And you get all this for $20 a month which I think is cheaper than the Hostgater equivalent.

Anyway, I’m now off to start driving traffic to my squeeze page!
