The Online Business Guide Has Launched
March 27, 2007 – 4:53 pm
If you have been reading up here at Off the Top of My Head, you will know that today was the official launch date of The Online Business Guide . In order to gauge interest, I decided to offer the product with an incentive over at the Digital Point Forums. This is now one of the biggest webmaster/SEO forums on the planet although certainly the biggest when it comes to its marketplace. Unlike some of the leaders in years past, they are free to both Buy and Sell which encourages a wide variety of offerings. It does mean sometimes sorting through less then stellar offers but there are so many gems out there, it is all worth it.
So back to the early launch. The interest was very high with just over 70 eBooks being snapped up, 186 free First Chapters going via email, and something like 8 pages of queries in less than 5 hours. This is the number sold and emailed before midnight as the books continued to fly out overnight. With all the feedback coming back resoundingly positive, I could not be happier. I really enjoyed this project and know that this is only the beggining. There is a great deal more marketing to do and I hope to extend the success of launch day far into the future.
Thanks to all the Off the Top of My Head readers and I promise more and more value to those who have “invested” in The Online Business Guide.
