Thank you!

I guess stuff happens and it always will. Attitude is the key here. If you can find a smile in the mess somewhere, you’ll be okay.

I guess the main lesson you learned with this mini-launch was this “Always expect the unexpected”. You did a great job of taking the problems you ran into and handle them very well. Who could have foreseen two trips to the hospital in you copywriters family at the worst time for your launch? You handled the stress very well and did what you had to do to make it work! This blog post will enlighten your list as to things to complete before a launch. Once again “Always expect the unexpected”. Thanks for the blog Ricard.

Your next product should be “How to launch a product”.

Thanks for sharing your product launch experience as well as your philosophy on managing any issues that may arise; whether in business or life in general. I daresay success stems from ones mindset and successful people are those who have the courage to move out of their comfort zone.

3 types of people in the world today…

Ones who say that the glass is half full
Ones who say that the glass is half empty
And those who say……. Hey man! I ordered a beer not a milkshake!

Hope all is well with the imminent arrival of the bub.

Kind regards,

Matt

Thanks for the advice “How NOT To Launch A Product?” I have your course. I received the course in 3 days! Unfortunately, I am experiecing sound problems with my laptop. I have been unable to watch the training videos. However, I have been able to read the 27 PDF files this week.

Frankly, I can’t think of even ONE possible reason why anyone on your list would pass up your course “Traffic Uncut”. Everyone wants to know how to generate more traffic. The PDF’s are filled with good advice. resources and tips.

I have been reading, learning and implementing things to test little by little all week. Richard, your marketing methods have been proven to work by “regular people” like me. I have every confidence that your course will take my internet marketing skills to the next level.

“Thank You Richard”

Don’t sweat it, you did the right thing by keeping your first launch small.
The ‘unknown probs’ can happen to just about anybody and it sounded like you overcame them, coming out unscathed fortunately. AND you even made a profit so, all in all, go pat yourself on the back ! )

Just think how you would have really sweated had you just gone through Frank Kerns’ Mass Control Launch today. He was also shipping out a bunch of DVD’s, Reports, Manuals etc. He told everyone he was restricting it to 2000 orders and did the tease of pre-emailing his sign-up website that was going to go ‘live’ at 12 noon PST today. At the appointed time his servers soon got jammed and he sold out in around 50 mins!

Now there’s a REAL potential headache right there, with the fulfillment,
shipping etc. plus all the angst of the people who weren’t quick enough and got shut out. But, I guess he has the experience and enough people to handle that hopefully.

You also did the right thing IMO, by not releasing your bonuses until after
we receive your course and have a chance to go through it.
That would have been ‘cart before the horse’ and possibly distracting.

Nope, from where I’m sitting, you can’t call yourself ‘an idiot’ as you said on your email, sounds like everything went according to your plan with very minor glitches.

So, just think ahead now, building on this foundation for a bigger launch in a few months. By then, you’ll have an extra mouth to feed ;o)

Great advice indeed! Even what most people might perceive as ‘failures’ aren’t failures, as long as you are determined to not give up (they become learning experiences instead).

Congrats on the very successful launch and just as important, learning from it!
