I deliberately set up the blog in it's own directory so that I could test an independent sales page or a squeeze page in the root directory. It's part of the master plan :-) John @Patrice.

Patrice Hi John,

With such a high conversion rate, do you plan to have a separated sales page or are you gonna keep it as it is, a dedicated post?

However, for simplification of the numbers I left that out of my calculations. I will be working on increasing the conversion rate and I have plans in place to reward loyalty. (More to come on that later ;) ) John @Chris

Sadly with IM memberships (on average at least), a great many disappear within only 5 months. This could, and I expect will, affect your target figure. Chris http://www.ProfitsWithChris.com Hi John,

I knew right away that I'd like to read all your posts and learn more about what you're doing because unlike you I've tested nothing in my marketing. Call me lazy, too busy or just plain foolish; probably all 3 apply, but I do want to repent and change my ways. I think that I can probably learn a lot from you and your blog posts, so I'll be back. (I have other reasons for not testing, not to be mentioned here). I too just recently started my new blog and haven't really promoted it yet over the 'net so would appreciate a visit from you and a quick comment/post. Check it out: http://norffio.blogspot.com Thanks. Norf Fiorentino Hi John - I got your most recent email and I just took a quick look over your blog and I'm impressed.
