Shoemoney - Skills To Pay The Bills

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 11:03 AM PST

Everyday we get several people who contact us with their big idea for a product. Honestly a lot of the time the ideas are really good… but they have no clue what to do going forward.

Where do they go to get it developed?
Where do they go to figure out how to launch it?
Who do they hire to build the site so that it sells?
Where do they get a merchant account to process their own credit cards?
How do they monetize partial data?
How do they handle customer support?
How do they do drop shipping?
Now do they get their product in CPA networks?
Did you know there are companies out there that will fund all of your advertising and product for you for a percentage?

So ya… When it comes down to it ideas are easy. The model is something that takes many years to figure out. Since we started selling our own products a couple years ago its sure been a learning experience for me.

So where can you turn if you have a good idea and need help from a company that has a proven track record?

My man Rich Gorman over at Direct Response is about as smart as anyone in this field. He has helped me a lot with our backend on our products and made introductions that were priceless.

Yesterday, after looking at the sheer volume of questions, I thought I would ask Rich to do a webinar with me to address any of your most common questions and also answer questions live that you might have.

Go here to register for the webinar. It will be LIVE at 2pm CST tomorrow.

If you have not been reading the Direct Response blog you are really missing out. There are some really gem’s on there.
