Just a rant/laugh/vent post. I decided to test a new info product to a very select niche last night. Got everything in place, ebook, videos, optin, shopping cart, autoresponder etc. After getting it all ready, I did a facebook ad to gauge interest and see if I can make any sales at $37. I had a limit of $15 on my ad. Blew through that within an hour to my target of 870k people in the U.S. with about 50 clicks. Wow, I thought I really found something! Kept refreshing my shopping cart data to see how many sales...nothing. Went over to my stat counter to verify landing pages, etc. Everything checked out, but no sales. Spent rest of night trying to figure new way to monetize this receptive audience.
So, I just went on my sales page and see that my video (no sales copy just video) has a 'sorry embedding disabled by owner' message! So no one was seeing my video. Just made sure it works again and reopened my ad at facebook.
Just a fyi to verify. I had seen the video when I embedded on my admin screen (wordpress and youtube), but I did not check from an outside browser. So I hope I get a couple sales at least today, but if not at least I have thought of some backup plans! I have been doing this for about three years now so jsut a reminder that we all make mistakes. Just keep going:smx4:
