"Reader Feedback from and e-commerce site"
By Jim Daniels - Helping you work at home.

This brief article will share with you some of the feedback I received from my subscribers and customers of my new e-commerce info pack, Make A Living Online.

No, I promise not to share only the GOOD feedback, I'll tell it all! On that note, lets jump right in with one of the few "nastygrams" I received...

<> Feedback Message #1

"Jim, I went to your new site and went directly to page 5, your offer. I don't have time to read through five pages of hype to get to the pitch. I wish marketers would just tell me what they are selling and spare the rest of the garbage."

My reply? I didn't. The thing is, this lady missed quite a bit by skipping the first four pages. And I suspect she is missing a lot more with her habit of "labeling" things without first investigating a bit.

True, five pages is a lot to read through, but when you are learning and discovering new things along the way, it may be worth your time. (Even if you have no intention of buying a thing!)

(This one is just the opposite!)

"Jim, I read through your 5-page web guide to making a living online and I have to say I was quite impressed. Not only did I learn a few things about why my own business has been slow to take off, I now realize how powerful long copy can be on the web. It worked on me and I NEVER buy anything online! Thanks for both informing AND promoting in a manner that I can relate to."

"Hello Jim, I just wanted to thank you for your "Make A Living Online!" book. I've only read about half of it and already I feel like my head is bursting with NEW ideas to improve my online business and make more money! I literally have a two pages of scratch paper filled with ideas I thought of while reading it. It is truly a valuable source for any one just starting out OR for someone has been doing it for a while."

Thanks again,

PS. "I also recently implemented the pop-up subscriber box strategy you detail at the companion site and it has doubled my new subscriber rate. Very cool!"

Jim,

"I just wanted to compliment you on your turnaround time when I ordered your "Make A Living Online" package. I ordered it on Friday afternoon after normal business hours and, guess what? The book was waiting for me when I got home from work on Monday afternoon. That was quick!"

"Also, I have a confession to make. I started reading "Make A Living Online", and just couldn't resist going immediately to the companion website. What a pleasant surprise! Everything is laid out in a simple, reasonable, logical format. What a difference from some of the other "guru" websites (talk about chaotic!)."

"Admittedly, I'm new to internet marketing; but I don't consider myself a dummy. But I've got to tell you that, after buying a truckload of other "manuals" on Internet marketing, I was overwhelmed (read: "stuck on stupid"). It was all so confusing, I was paralyzed into inaction."

But my story has a happy ending. I located "Make A Living Online", ordered it, and now, guess what? It all makes sense! I'll follow the instructions in the book, take advantage of the companion website, and make a living online!

In closing.... OK, so I shared a little more of the good stuff than the bad. And hey, I realize that last one may even sound made-up. But I swear, it's real and it's unsolicited. It's dream testimonial and I couldn't resist sharing it with you.

But let's get to how today's tip can help you! Today's "Marketing Tip" in disguise...

Use testimonials! Use them at your site and in your email. Testimonials are extremely powerful and motivational when they are genuine and real. People like to know what their peers are thinking. Share their thoughts with your audience and you can't help but increase your own sales.
