Product Launch that Supplies Results | weicome to team1708.org
Posted on by
Setting up a perfect launch for a product is something that many Internet Marketers want to do. If you want to make sure that your launch goes well, keep reading for some tips.
Distinct Sales Funnel: One of the crucial things that you need to focus on when launching a product is the kind of steps your potential customers will be taking to buy your product. You have to be confident about the sales funnel that you provide so that your prospects will encounter a smooth process from the beginning to the end. When you have no doubts about your sales funnel working correctly, it will give you the opportunity to avoid any little mishaps that might crop up while the customer is placing an order.
This will eventually be why your launch does not fail. Take care of every little detail so that the big picture turns out right. One particular evolution in marketing to the IM niche is so many people want absolutely everything spoon fed to them, and that can really present problems at times. Sonic List Builder can be intimidating for a lot of people if they have never done it in their business, and it cannot be learned quickly and executed with authority.
Even something as simple as setting up an autoresponder and doing email marketing requires some detailed knowledge to do it with good effect.
What we will talk about in this article assumes a certain level of previous learning. Those who are new to online business need to remember there is always a lot more to the story in any article. Once you have your initial campaigns underway, then you really have to pay attention to what is going on, and that is why testing and tracking are so valuable.
Understand Your Product?s USP: It?s important to make your product different from all the others on the market. No matter what niche your targeting, as an internet marketer, you can?t ignore the value of having a unique selling proposition. So before you hit the launch button, review and research, do your homework and discuss if needed to make sure you hit it right before the big launch. If you don?t get your USP right then you?ll fail in making a huge impact with your launch.
Keep Your List Informed: Keep your email list of customers up to date about your upcoming product launch. They will be more prepared for the launch when you let them know about the product in development. Periodically send out promotional emails and give them access to materials that will help pre-sell the product. This step can help increase your sales by 5 times once you launch your product. We all have our favorite methods to use in our net businesses, but we urge you to look at the bigger picture when you are being introduced to new things that really could prove to work well. You should have that perspective all the time no matter how good or bad you feel about it. One thing you can easily do is test Wealthy Affiliate on a small scale, and that is another approach we tell people to try ? just do a small test and decide. One solid piece of advice we can give you is to learn more about the history of anything involving marketing methods and things of that nature, and that is why marketing forums can be so valuable.
If you are really new, then you have to know the importance of performing background research on any method that you are not familiar with. There are those who will sell you just about anything while telling you it is some undiscovered method that not too many know about yet, those should be alarms. If you are past that stage, then chances are excellent you are good to go and will be fine. We are not worried about what we are telling you about today, but since you do not know us ? then that means you have to verify everything. This all goes along with the thought of an ounce of prevention, and it is an ounce well spent, possibly.
In order to make sure that a product launch succeed, there must be plenty of commitment and hard work. It is important that you take whatever action necessary to ensure that your launch day is successful. Once your product has been released to the public, you should get a lot of new sales because of the preparation you did before launching the product. The tips that we discussed in this article, will help you to have a successful launch day. If you are new to IM, then approach Carbon Copy Commissions along with its many components carefully so you will be able to realize maximum leveraging opportunities. But it is important to remember that your personal beliefs and attitudes are much more powerful than you realize, and they will impact what you accomplish in business. What we are talking about is not something we made up, and you can find a good deal of supporting information elsewhere. Other general categories of business owners are those who just want to stay in the game, and then there are those who strive to take over their market. You do have the power to change how you think, and we will tell you that negative-based thinking will always keep you down. In our own ways, we ultimately decide much if not most of our fate.

2012 Schwinn Vestige Women's Urban Bikes ... - Cycling Exercise
Women?s Schwinn Vestige
Schwinn Vestige Women's >> Urban Bikes
These urban bikes are just plain posh. The Women?s Vestige commuter bicycle is an urban bike with an eco twist. That?s because the Vestige is made out of new technology produced from flax fibers, a renewable and recyclable resource. The bike actually feels a lot like what a carbon fiber bike rides like when it comes to damping road vibrations.? It has designed with a water based paint, partially biologically sourced resin, bamboo fenders grips and and Schwalbe tires that have recycled content, and puncture protection finish off what it?s green genre is supposed to live up to. But aside from its minimalistic carbon footprint, the Vestige holds a few other new innovative technology tricks that are incorporated into the frame tubes. The characteristics of a flax fiber finished frame, ends up being a partially translucent frame. So the Vestige?s design crew decided to add dynamo-powered LED lights inside the top tube and down tube, producing the world?s first urban bike that glows after sunset. To finish the bike off they didn?t back down in the mechanical department either. To enhance the Vestige, it also features a 9-speed drivetrain from Shimano , dependable alloy V-brakes, lightweight alloy double-wall wheels and rear rack mounts for luggage bag carrying, making it a highly capable urban bicycle, cruiser or all-around fun and fitness bike with a high quality meant to put the earth first personality.

Music Review: A Tribe Called Red - A Tribe Called ... - SeattlePI.com
I've been going to Pow Wow's on and off since 1995 when I was a volunteer with the local First Nation's Friendship Centre where I live. For me, the best thing about a Pow Wow is how no matter where you are on the grounds you can always hear the big drum. From the moment Grand Entry begins (the ceremonial entrance of the dancers into the arena), to the closing ceremonies the drum is almost always playing. Even when its so faint that you can barely hear it, the sound throbs up through the ground and into the soles of your feet. That's when you really understand why its referred to as the heartbeat drum. Perhaps even more distinctive than the drum, and even more alien to those not used to it, is the sound of the singers gathered around the drum. In contrast to the deep pounding of the drum they, men and women, sing in a high falsetto. Guaranteed to cut through any surrounding din, the singers can be heard just as clearly as the drum. Those who have never heard experienced the combination will probably have a hard time believing how spine-chilling it can be.
What might come as an even bigger surprise to some, myself included, is how well the form lends itself to modernization. Now I've got to be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of most hip hop, rap or dance music. It's fallen so far from what it once was in the hands of community and political activists like Grandmaster Flash and Gil Scott Herron. So I've been leery about the First Nations hip hop groups who have been springing up across Canada. That's until I heard A Tribe Called Red's new release A Tribe Called Red, which they've made available as a free download. A Tribe Called Red are three Ottawa area First Nations DJs: DJ NDN, DJ Bear Witness and DJ Shug. They have been putting on what they call Electric Pow Wows on a monthly basis dedicated to showcasing Aboriginal DJ talent and contemporary urban Native culture.
So what is contemporary urban Native culture? Well, judging by the twelve tracks on the collective's first CD, it owes as much a debt to inner city youth culture, Jamaican dance halls and modern electronics as it does to their various nation's traditions. What distinguishes A Tribe Called Red from other DJ collectives, what makes them uniquely First Nations, is what they incorporate into their creations. While its true some DJs, especially those who specialize in Trance, have begun turning to sources other than popular music for the samples they build their tunes around, the majority of A Tribe Called Red's tracks are built around various Drums. Drum, in this case, refers to both the physical drum and the people who make up the group of drummers and singers associated with the instrument. For example, The Whitefish Bay Singers of Ontario Canada are also called The Whitefish Bay Drum.
The opening track, "Electric Pow Wow Drum", starts off with the familiar "heartbeat" of the big drum. After a few bars, it's joined by both an electronic pulse playing counter point and the sound of the jingles on dancer's costumes, keeping time with the big drum as they move around the arena. Traditionally a jingle bell dancer's regalia was covered with deer toes, but today the jingles are just as likely to be anything from the rolled up lids of tins of chewing tobacco to manufactured tin cones. Then the singing starts. Normally the sound of the massed falsetto voices over top the drum is enough to send shivers up your spine. In this case the voices are fed through a synthesizer or processor of some kind that gives the voices an overlay of heavy fuzz, which heightens the effect even more. Cutting back and forth between the electronic pulse and the distorted singers, the song builds in intensity until the first break. There are two very distinct rhythms played on a drum during a song. There's the heartbeat sound, which propels the dancers around the arena, and the break which, depending on the dance, requires the dancers to either dance in place or freeze. After the first break, in this case, the singing intensifies and an electronic melody (based on the rhythms of the song laid over top) serves as both a counter point and to add another layer of texture to the material
Any doubts I may have had about A Tribe Called Red were erased after I listened to this first track. Instead of merely being content with sampling the original music and ignoring the traditions behind it, they've managed to merge it with the technology they use as DJs and respect its original intent. It's exactly what the title suggests it is, an "Electric Pow Wow Drum". Not only does the song capture the power of the Drum, it enhances it. There's no attempting to make the music more accessible by watering it down or giving it a catchy dance tune. Instead it feels like they've grafted the realities of urban living onto their traditions to make them relevant to the world they live in.
Eight of the remaining eleven tracks on the disc combine traditional Pow Wow music and modern DJ technology. In each case, the guys have managed to find the same delicate balance that made the first track so effective. There's nothing haphazard or sloppy about any of their choices, including the fact that they have found a wide variety of Pow Wow music to use in their material. Because A Tribe Called Red allows the original material to come through in the mix, you not only get to hear the music updated, you also hear how different one Drum can sound from another.
The last song on the disc, "General Generations", is slightly different as its taken from an old wax cylinder recording of a singer who might have been DJ Shrub's great-grandfather. The sound of the scratchy solo voice taken from early primitive recording equipment, singing a song that might be hundreds if not thousands of years old and remixed with modern electronics, sums up the entire disc for me. Its about keeping cultural traditions alive without allowing them to stagnate, making them relative to changing circumstances.
Also deserving of special mention is the song "Woodcarver", written in commemoration of the Native American woodcarver John T. Williams who was "unjustifiably shot" by a Seattle police officer in 2010. Using samples of news recordings and statements made by witnesses, family and members of the Seattle Native American community, the song both honours the memory of the man and presents the facts of the case with minimal editorializing. Unlike the other pieces on the disc, "Woodcarver" isn't something you'd expect to hear on the dance floor. What it is though is a good example of a found sound installation and the way modern sound technology can be used as a means of expression.
A Tribe Called Red is not only a collection of great music, it's an example of how the modern and the traditional can come together to the benefit of both. Intelligent and inspired, the songs on this disc represent both a cross section of traditional Pow Wow music and the variety of sounds and techniques available to the modern DJ. In the past I've been dismissive of DJ-created songs because most of what I'd heard up to now has pretty much sounded the same. The three DJs who make up A Tribe Called Red prove that doesn't have to be the case. You can download a free copy of A Tribe Called Red by following this link.

Groupon shares plunge after restatement
By msnbc.com staff and wires
Groupon shares fell 17 percent Monday after the online couponing company raised new worries about its accounting practices by with a late Friday revision of its quarterly results.
Groupon shares fell $3.10 to $15.28 after the company was forced to lower its revenue and earnings figures to set aside more money for refunds to customers.
Some analysts are wondering if Groupon, which began trading publicly less than five months ago, will be able to leave behind its growing pains.
"We believe Groupon is now a 'show-me' story, where a company's ambitions are higher than the level of its internal planning and controls," Jordan Rohan, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus, said in a note to investors. He downgraded the company's stock to "Sell," from "Hold."
On Monday, it was disclosed that Groupon agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle nationwide litigation alleging the expiration dates on its coupons are illegal.
A group of consumers had sued, saying Groupon "effectively creates a sense of urgency" among consumers to buy its vouchers by offering "daily deals" for a short amount of time, usually 24 hours.
"Consumers therefore feel pressured and are rushed into buying the gift certificates and unwittingly become subject to the onerous sales conditions imposed," including a ban on cash refunds and a requirement that gift certificates be used in a single transaction, the lawsuit said.
Groupon denied liability in agreeing to settle, according to settlement papers.
The settlement covers consumers who received Groupon vouchers between November 2008 and Dec. 1, 2011. Those covered by the settlement can redeem their vouchers past the expiration dates, or recover from the $8.5 million settlement fund. The settlement requires approval by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego.
Founded in November 2008, Groupon pioneered the online daily deals market, which offers subscribers deep discounts on everything from restaurant meals to tech gadgets to weekend getaways if enough people buy in. It sparked many copycats, including LivingSocial, Google and Facebook, though the latter ended up abandoning the effort.
In terms of mere numbers, the financial restatement doesn't amount to much. The revision lowered the company's fourth-quarter revenue by about 3 percent, to $492 million. And it widened its net loss by 4 cents, to 12 cents per share. Groupon's chief financial officer, Jason Child, said the company remains confident in its business.
But Friday wasn't the first time that Groupon has had to change its accounting. Last year, the company got in trouble for including as revenue the share it had to turn over to merchants running the deal. After federal regulators questioned the fuzzy math, the company counted only the money it got to keep and reduced its reported revenue by roughly half. All that preceded its initial public offering in November.
Groupon spokesman Paul Taaffe said Monday that the company understands that "there is a certain amount of skepticism in the market" given the company's history.
But he said the company's fundamental business is strong, and such accounting issues are just part of being a business that is growing very quickly. Groupon's revenue nearly tripled in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, and its active subscriber base grew fourfold to 33 million.
"Every three months, Groupon is a different company," he said.
Groupon has evolved quickly from its roots offering mostly restaurant and spa deals from local merchants. It now curates vacation packages to such places as Egypt and the Horseshoe Casino in Robinsonville, Miss., and it sells consumer products such as memory foam mattresses and noise-canceling headphones.
Its deals aren't really daily any more, either. Subscribers can sign up for several email lists from Groupon, receiving multiple deals a day. They often have several days to decide whether they want to buy them.
More recently, with products such as an online scheduling tool for local merchants, Groupon has also shown that it wants to be an e-commerce hub for small businesses.
Several analysts are giving Groupon the benefit of the doubt even as they note shareholder frustrations. Dough Anmuth of JPMorgan said he doesn't believe the restatement shows that Groupon's business model is weakening.
"Instead we believe they reflect Groupon's dynamic deal mix and the company's extremely rapid growth in a very short amount of time," he said.
Scott Devitt of Morgan Stanley, the main underwriter for Groupon's IPO, called the announcement a "mild hiccup in Groupon's compelling long-term story."
(Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this story.)
Groupon fell sharply after the company increased its previously reported Q4 net loss and cut its revenue. With Rakesh Agrawal, reDesign Mobile analyst, and CNBC's Herb Greenberg.
