I haven't found any stickies or such that explain specific formats for this area so I'm not sure what all I should include (or not). After researching and brainstorming heavily all week though, I wanted to share a bit of my excitement :)

Today I started massive execution. Results:

--> I have my basic digital ordering and automated delivery system in place, tested and functioning.
--> I have the sales letter/licensing terms (my hook) written and live but there's still a lot of refinement needed.
--> I have the website focused on selling my products directly instead of leading people off to distributer sites.
--> I have multiple products for sale with live, working buy buttons :)

I'm pushing 14 hours for the day so I may be missing stuff but overall, awesome start :)
