Now I'm REALLY Getting Excited!
I had mentioned in a previous post that I was working a new product another great person here at the WA - Pete, aka, slugger_mn. It's a really enlightening experience to work with someone who has the EXACT same mentality for success. That mentality is -
I AM GOING TO SUCCEED!
It may not be now, it may not be in six months, but I AM GOING TO SUCCEED!
The idea for our product originated maybe six weeks back or so. I don't even remember who's idea it was (Pete will gladly take credit for it!), but we just continued to talk about and work through it. I mean everyday, we must talk for at least an hour or so. That's not to mention the e-mails and the PM's going back and forth.
So that being said, what we've been doing is putting together a series specifically targeted to those that are new at the WA. It's a matter of just walking them through the initial market research process and launching your first set of campaigns.
Being that we are both relatively new, (Pete started in September 2009 and I October 2009) we felt that it would be good to address the problems that we've had when first starting with the WA and how to overcome them.
Think of it like a book for newbies BY newbies!
It's getting close to being done and I'm just extremely excited to actually have something out there with MY NAME ON IT! (and Pete's too, but who cares about that! :) )
It's truly amazing what anyone can accomplish when you are dead set on making it work. Really, it is.
Do you know what is probably the coolest part of this whole thing is?
My WIFE has been supporting me constantly! When I first started, she wondered what the heck I was doing and why I was wasting my time. Now with sales coming in, she's a believer! I think she's just excited about the launch as I am!
This thus far has been one of the most gratifying thing that I have done so far. I can't be more lucky to be working with Pete on something that we're both SO passionate about!
While we just started putting all the pieces together, we do finally have a website up -
We're gonna do some more work on it today, but so far so good! Go ahead and take a look - we do have a video sort of explaining what we're doing. And yes, you DO need to opt-in in order to see it!
I do again want to thank all of those that have been with me through my growing pains with the WA. I've certainly have had my struggles and will continue to have my struggles, but I will not be giving up any time soon!
As always folks, please let me know if I could be of any help. I love returning the favors! You too are more than welcome to get me on Yahoo Messenger @ sox1n05.
I will be updating my posts with the progress of our new product and I look forward to talking to you all shortly!
I think what you guys are doing is a fantastic idea. Here's a little food for thought... Maybe add in some REALLY basic instructions for people with disabilities like me. Or maybe that could be your next big project.
Best of luck to you both and "hooray!" to your wife for supporting you!
Re: a book for newbies BY newbies. - When this is done, send me a copy and I will take it to this years WA Vegas conference to discuss.
