Email Course Update - Content Development Underway, Website Coming Soon

March 29, 2008 Posted under: Making Money Online by Caroline Middlebrook

stumble rush project

I’ve developed a home study course on the usage of StumbleUpon to drive traffic to your website. This project is the account of my progress in developing and marketing that course. The course is now LIVE, is called Stumble Rush and you can enroll right now at http://www.stumblerush.com/.

Content Development Under Way

Last week I chose the name for the course, Stumble Rush and I registered the domain name and decided to use HTML pages to deliver the content. For the moment I am using WordPress to write the lessons as its easy to edit and very easy to insert links and graphics etc.

So far I have written the first two parts of the basic course. If you want to keep track of where I am with the content then have a look at the project page. I added the curriculum to it and I am striking through the lessons as they are done.

I’ve also made my first video! Well three actually… I’m on a roll now :) I’m finding it really handy to be able to knock up a quick video to explain certain things rather than try to use text and static graphics. Video allows me to show you how to do something, rather than just tell you.

Website Coming Soon

If you go to the site now all you will see is a default WordPress site and that’s all. I have finally signed up to Aweber so one of the first things I shall be doing is getting an opt-in form on the site to start capturing email addresses of anyone who may be interested. Obviously I won’t start promoting it until the site is finished but I may as well get used to managing the list. I’ll be blogging about my experiences with that.

I’ve ordered some graphics from Linda from eCoverSource who did the lovely cover for my WordPress ebook. She’s sent me some concept art, here’s a sneak peek:

I know I for one can’t wait :) Just don’t feel like you need to rush anything. You have a really good idea here, so take your time for a high quality product…we’re not going anywhere ;)

Oh, I don’t know if it’s an English thing, but you may wanna use “knock-out” in place of “knock-up” LOL

Who luvs ya babe :)

Hello, Caroline! I just wanted to tell you that yours is the first email that I open every time I see it, and that I am delighted each time I see one from you…I can’t believe how often you post and what extremely helpful things you have to tell us; things that most everyone else would charge for! You are intelligent, kind, and I am so grateful for your absolute honesty. I know that I can rely totally on everything you have to say about making money online, and about everything else! P.S. I’m buying everything you have for sale…Good luck and God bless…Peggy

@Dennis, lol yeah over here “knock-up” is slang to get somebody pregnant :) I should be more careful heh.

@Peggy, thanks very much. I have people like that who I feel the same way about, like Yaro Starak. He’s launching something knew at the moment, I don’t know what it is but I know I’m going to buy it lol!

@Mark, yeah I would recommend Linda for any graphic work - very reasonably priced too. Check out her portfolios, she has done excellent work.

Hey Caroline,

Looking forward to watching you bring this product idea to reality. That’s the most exciting part about this business (turning an idea into cash). Graphics look great so far…

I’m sure the final product will be even better!

I am really looking forward to you finishing the course, sounds you are well on your way in creating a great product. Are you thinking of offering an affiliate program?

Very good question, I’d like to know as well.

@Mirgam & Dennis, yes I intend to open it up to affiliates and pay a 50% commission. When I figure out how to do that, I’ll blog about it!

@Caroline — regarding affiliate links, I’ve been looking at the JROX JAM script…I have used it as an affiliate and am looking at using it for affiliate sales myself. I looked at this install — looks easy.

I think the idea of an affiliate link to affiliate link software is really funny, by I won’t junk up your blog with my aff links. LOL

Check it out here: http://jam.jrox.com/ (not an aff link)

The cool thing is that the script is free for the first 50 affiliates. You only have to pay for it when you need to sign up more than 50.
