At KickoffLabs we used them to handle a bunch of routing on behalf of our hosted customers. The timing was less than ideal for sure. However they arranged a good support system wit…

We're going to be interviewing the co-founder of Acompli about their launch process, list building, and growth strategies that led up to their acquisition. What questions would you…

We don't actually force anything. We could, of course, check to see if you liked us on Facebook... but even that's a loose check since it's easy to unlike something anyway. The goa…

It's good feedback that we should highlight the free course and encouragement we give you a chance to opt into. http://www.landingpages107.com specifically. It's a 10 part email co…

To me, what made what he was doing appealing was that he wasn't directly soliciting people. He made the arrow and the sign. He wasn't harassing anyone in line. I think that makes a…

Agreed.

I like the idea of getting feedback on competitors apps. :)

That turned out really cool!

I'm not saying it couldn't be improved. Just saying that what matters is if, overall, our conversion rate is better with it. Then, if it is, we can spend more time, money, and effo…

The real verdict of the video success has much more to do with analytics than individual opinions. Of course, since we just posted it, we won't have good results of our A/B test (a…

Once I signed up for PowToon the pricing for our plan was $57 a month... which gives you 20 video exports. I thought about music... but after an hour trying to find a good match I …

Optional for the post content. You can produce the content and have it hosted on Youtube for well under the $200... which was the point of the tip. Yes, in our case, we also pay Vi…

Voicebunny lets you select gender and add notes. They also seem to have a process that reads your notes and looks for the ideal talent. Our first recording came back a little too w…

Then you got past the premise. :) Beyond the education we were trying to go for a little bit of the corny/infomercial feeling.

I called this out before... Vimeo could be considered optional. Youtube can be configured as well for hosting the video. Or you could self host. The post was more about the product…

Thanks. Fixed the blog and now re-exporting the video.

No - That should be called out as optional. But the commenters here have added information on creating a better youtube experience.

Thanks for the tip. We still like the stats and stuff we get from Vimeo... but if that really works other people could save more $$.

And to repost my reply... Thanks for the comment. We love posting things that we've learned that could help out our customers. The thing I couldn't figure out with Youtube was how …

But, on the other hand, even if we'd paid a service to do it we still would have had to help a lot with the script. Which was one of the most costly (time consuming) parts.

About 8 hours. It was basically two half days to get it to what you see there. So, to your point, our time was probably the most costly part. :)

When we first launched we had a screen recording with a voice over. Our problem with that is that, as a startup, our UI was changing every couple of months. The premise/goal doesn'…

Mom and pop don't like hunting for links. Watch normal people browse the web. They try to click on anything they think will give them more information about what they want.

Everyone tests different titles. It's part of marketing. I'll freely admit to: 1. Writing a best practices post on a timely subject to grab more attention. "How to create a good la…

Thanks for understanding the point of the post is to educate folks on how they could learn from best practices. They still had to execute on their marketing. If you compare their l…
