Checking in to let you know how I am doing in the Quick Start Challenge.
Week 2 is creating a lead magnet, an opt-in page and a special thank you page.
I had the bare bones of a lead magnet done already so I just needed to flesh it out. That actually took longer then I thought it would. I was going in circles until I remembered a trick I learned a while ago. So, I created (on paper) my opt-in page first. I need the main points that I want to cover in the report for the page so, once I had that done, I was able to rearrange things in my report and write it very quickly.
Next was the thank you page. Here, I hit a stumbling block – VIDEO. Although not necessary, it was recommended that you add a video to your thank you page.
For several months now I have tried to make a simple video and have erased them all.
I don’t like the sound of my voice, how I look, or how my eyebrows jump all over my face when I am speaking (do I do that all the time or just in front of a camera???).
Yuk! I almost chickened out BUT, this is a challenge so…. I DID IT.
It took many tries and I still don’t like it but I put it up anyway (as I will never like it so I just have to suck it up buttercup and move on!)
Whew!
Next for the opt-in page. NO, I did not do a video for that, one is quite enough for now. I whipped that up quickly, linked it to my autoresponder and from there to my thank you page. YAY!
Taking imperfect action feels pretty darn good. A lot better that letting fear stop me.
If you are interested, you can see them here (crappy video and all!):
I’ll update you when the next part has been revealed.
