It seems that Julian and I have had a brief resurgeance of interest in one of our projects we did for ‘Everyday With Practical Electronics’ back in 1994.
The ‘EPE’ Fruit Machine was very popular at the time and Julian and I enjoyed writing software for all the ‘features’ the machine had, as well as designing the look and feel of it as well.
The machine accepted only 5p coins (as it was the smallest coin, there was no need for a ‘reject’ coin machanism), and had a jackpot of £1, which was paid out using a coin stack and slider arrangement.
The software was available only from the authors (us), in the form of a pre-programmed PIC Microcontroller chip.
However, we have recently given away the software code for others to use and play with!
I’ve just booked my tickets to go to this years World Internet Summit in London – This is a not to be missed event that spans four days at a hotel near Heathrow in London – www.heathrow.parkinn.co.uk
I went last year and was bowled over with the sheer amount of useful information to set you up as an internet marketer, or to get you selling on the internet.
Everything from Facebook stuff to You Tube, Social networking on a grand scale, ebay, ClickBank all the top names.
Many speakers talked in depth about just about everything – you will not get bored!
This year however, I’ve noticed that they are asking for a refundable $100 registration fee – I suppose this is to prevent wasted seats from those who apply and then don’t turn up.
Still, it’s well worth the free attendance. See you there!
It’s the ‘Thank You Page’ that your prospect will be sent back to once they have bought your product. If you use a merchant service such as ‘PayPal’ or ‘ClickBank’ to process your payments, you will be able to put a link to your ‘Thank You’ Page somewhere in their setup.
Now is the ideal time to ‘Upsell’ to your prospect by offering more of your product, at a reduced price – perhaps an audio version of your e-book, or a collection of related products?
Be careful not to ‘push’ too much at this stage, as there is a fine line between offering a good deal and putting customers off!
Obviously, The ‘Thank You’ Page should have all the required links to download your product, or take your prospect to any required website.
Be sure to make the ‘Thank You’ Page short and simple and always have an email address link so that they can contact you if there is a problem downloading material, or if they just want to contact you!
