This is exactly what happened with our membership site. Now everything is so out of date we are having to do an overhaul before we can launch. This time I am using Wishlist, WP Drip and some other tips and tricks from your arsenal. Hope to have everything up and running next week. It's about time. Thanks for the solid content and advice, Clyde Ok, you don't have to slap me with a wet mop.

But a product must "work" before release i.e. you can learn from it and apply the system being taught.

The formula that works for me is: (1)research like crazy (2) write the book (3) proofread and edit the book onscreen (4) have wife read and proofread printed copy (5) take wife's suggestions, fix the errors (6) put it on website (7) market it like crazy. That's it for the first edition. Perfection may take several more editions. Robert, I really like your suggestion, as it mirrors my own ideas.

It amazes me when I tell people that and they give all kinds of excuses about needing to get everything exactly right before launching a product. Keep eating your own dog food, improving on your systems and turning them into products. I love your three steps above.

What happened there? I have learned so much from you and from Lamce as well. My problem has been in making myself implement what I learned, to much on my plate. I am cleaning my plate this week, I suppose that is how I found the email from last week. Anyway, One of the things I have learned that I have actually implemented, believe it or not, is getting SOMETHING out there and going on from there. This has helped me more than you could ever imagine as it took me almost a year to get my first membership site up because Dave and I wanted everything to be perfectt. I wonder how many sales we missed. Thanks for the excellent information and PLEASE, keep it coming.

I agree that the steak is more important than the sizzle of the product and MANY times, the sizzle is what is advertised. But there are some things that I think are crucial in a info product. Spell checking, font size, and colors are part of the 'packaging' that I feel should be at least standardized in a info product, video, etc. The author could be excellent and know all about his subject, but when the ebook is filled with spelling issues it lowers my belief or trust in the author. But, and I know this from experience, many people (ME TOO) suffer from procrastination and self doubt and hesitate from releasing good idea and products. We create all kinds of reasons why we delay or hesitate in releasing a product. Getting that first one out there can really help the confidence. Great info as usual Carlton Robert,
