Very cool Rob. I really like the idea of the sidebar on the signup page to help reassure people that they are actually going to get something of value.
Also, even if you have HTTPS, it is probably worthwhile to explicitly say on the payment page that every thing is safe and secure.
I really appreciate this post. It came through with the information I was looking for on the first try, and that doesn’t happpen all too often! Great job on this blog. Keep it up and I’m sure you are going to get tons of traffic!
Thanks for showing us the raw talk and all the honesty, Rob. It’s not common to hear unfiltered talk about sales and marketing of someone’s product. Gives me a lot to think about.

Did you test with that?

Good luck with getting more book sales!
Yep, it’s the old “Can’t see the forest for the trees” adage.
As a Delphi developer I’m finding no reason to promote anything.
How’s the Visual Studio or Eclipse market doing? Is there much contract work available out there?
