Go for software reliability.<\/li>\n<li>Notify your payment processors of the impending activity spike. Have a backup payment option at the ready.<\/li>\n<li>Set affiliate management to \u201clast cookie\u201d method.<\/li>\n<li>Set up a dedicated affiliate line or email.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure your landing pages are hosted on sturdy servers.<\/li>\n<li>Host your videos on Youtube.<\/li>\n<li>Train your support staff well, and stay in communication.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure you can easily manage your content delivery system and that it integrates with your payment processor. Test. Test. Test.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong>Now, let\u2019s get into what that all means&#8230;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>First, it&#8217;s soooooo easy to get lost in the abyss of options. We\u2019ve all gone down that rabbit hole a time or ten. There are <i>tons<\/i> of products that do a <i>ton<\/i> of things. So, don&#8217;t spend a <i>ton<\/i> of time analyzing to death each and every one. A simple guideline is to go for <b>reliability<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also save yourself some trouble and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/tools\/genesis-digital-company-tool-kit\/\">check out our Company Tool Kit.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 If we\u2019re using it, you know it\u2019s been tested and is reliable.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re navigating this territory on a maiden voyage and we haven\u2019t listed what you need, keep <b>reliability<\/b> at the top of the necessity checklist. Can you trust the software? Great. Try to avoid getting bogged down by <i>analysis paralysis<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Second, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS notify the account representative at your payment processors that there is going to be a spike in activity. This includes Paypal and all merchant banks. Nothing screams &#8220;fraud&#8221; like an account suddenly seeing thousands (hopefully) of payments come through in just a few days. You don&#8217;t want to find out mid-launch that your payment processor has either blocked you or will be holding your money for 180 days. The HORROR! That may as well be forever for some of us.<\/p>\n<p>This can be very destructive in terms of affiliate payout and expenses, so be sure to get on the horn, let your payment processor know what\u2019s happening, and budget for any limitations they want to put on your account. It also helps to have a backup for accepting payments that you can quickly swap if things go south. The peace of mind this affords alone is worth it. It\u2019s always a good use of your time to do whatever you can to ward off the evil spirits.<\/p>\n<p>Third, set your affiliate management program to credit the sale to the LAST affiliate who sent the person to your page. This is also called the &#8220;<b>last cookie<\/b>&#8221; method. Multiple affiliates can send a person to a page, but the last one before the sale is the one who should get credit.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, be sure to keep an open, dedicated line or email for your affiliates to contact you. Before and during your launch, your partners may need direct access or help. If the line is dedicated to this purpose, you\u2019re more apt to answer quickly and allow your affiliates to feel cared for, as they should.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, when it comes to landing pages, you can choose to use either your own WordPress site or any of the page builders out there. If you are gearing up for a huge launch, be sure to use a robust server, and talk to them about caching options so you can keep the database load low.<\/p>\n<p>Sixth, host your videos on Youtube. When you have a launch and are getting good traffic, your bandwidth bills can skyrocket with video hosts that charge you. Youtube is reliable, it never breaks and it works right out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>That said, with Youtube you\u2019ll be sacrificing advanced video analytics, such as time stamp they click away, however you can always get that data later on if you turn the presentation into an EverWebinar. Hint hint.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sidebar*** If you\u2019re wondering if webinars should be a part of your business plan, either live or automated, the answer is a resounding \u201cAbsolutely!\u201d Having live elements like scarcity and urgency adds a pricelessness that is hard to replicate without it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Next, #7, let&#8217;s talk about helpdesks. There are a number of helpdesk solutions from self-hosted small scripts to full-fledged customer management systems. You absolutely MUST have a helpdesk where people can reach out to you. Be sure to train your support team about the product with pre-sales questions in mind. No matter how in depth your presentation is, people WILL ask questions before they purchase. Plus, a knowledgeable support staff is a great reinforcement of your sales message.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy.png\" alt=\" Help desk agent\" width=\"1400\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy.png 1400w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy-600x386.png 600w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy-1024x658.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy-696x447.png 696w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy-1068x687.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Helpdeskguy-653x420.png 653w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>Make it a point to communicate with your support staff on the regular. Things can change quickly and unpredictably during a launch. You&#8217;ll be pitching offers, bonuses, and discounts everywhere. It is imperative to keep your support team in the loop so they know how to handle customer issues. Do not let them flounder.<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not least, the 8th point on the list\u2026 Content delivery. Set up a simple members area using Amember, Kajabi, or Kartra (when it\u2019s ready). Whichever one you choose depends wholly on your specific needs &#8211; just be sure that it is easy to setup and manage, and that it integrates with your payment processor.<\/p>\n<p>Once you know the content delivery system integrates with your payment processor or processors, <b><i>please TEST it<\/i><\/b>. Then, test it again. Have your friends test it, too. Be sure every purchase creates an account and sends out the login details. If this final check isn\u2019t working consistently, it needs an <b><i>immediate <\/i><\/b>fix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow these guidelines and prepare to have a successful, sane, no sweat product launch!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once upon a time, getting through a product launch was a strategic and technical NIGHTMARE.
