Bill Hibbler's Ecommerce Confidential

Issue 25

A Master Mechanic Saves the Day

Before I get started on today's issue, there's an updated version available for the Desktop Marketer reader. This addresses some of the issues that have popped up since Windows XP released service pack 2. You can download the reader here. (http://www.ecommerceconfidential.com/Ecommerce-Confidential.exe)

If you're not familiar with Desktop Marketer, this is a piece of software that lets you get this ezine right on your desktop. No more worrying about missing an issue or having it accidently end up in the spam folder. If you'd like to try it, download the free application from the above link. Then double-click on the file and it installs very quickly. Ok, let's get started...

It turns out that many of you are Mercedes fans. I've gotten lots of emails from subscribers telling me about their Mercedes dream car. And everyone asks, "So did you buy the Mercedes?"

I didn't. And I'm really glad. Fortunately, I made a decision that saved me from walking off a cliff financially.

I've really done my homework on these cars. The late 80's Mercedes sedans are like a Rolls Royce. But they need to be taken care of. I'd found what I thought was the perfect car. It's owned by a fairly well-off gentleman that's owned several of these cars. This one was his wife's and he took it into the shop every time she heard the tiniest noise. He had the receipts to prove it.

This is exactly the kind of car the experts recommend you look for. I totally fell in love with the car.

The car looked flawless. When I test drove it, I noticed a couple of what I believed to be minor problems. The online Mercedes gurus all recommended I have a Mercedes Master Mechanic check it out before hand. Not just any mechanic but someone that knows these cars inside and out.

My wife loved the car and thought I was crazy but I booked an appointment and paid for the two hour inspection. Long story short, this car had so many hidden problems that the repair bill could run as high as $10,000!

The owner of the shop did the inspection himself. Besides giving me the bad news, he had lots of great Mercedes shopping advice for me. He went over the car with me, pointed out problem areas, things easily fixed and warning signs. I really got my money's worth.

My wife admits that maybe I'm not so crazy after all. Hiring an expert was definitely the right thing to do.

It's a similar story when it comes to your website. Whether you're launching a new website or trying to fix one that's not performing well, it helps to bring in an expert.

You need a specialist. Not a web designer or a copywriter but a Master Site Reviewer. Someone that knows commercial websites like the back of their hand.

So where would you go to find a Master Site Reviewer? I don't know... maybe MasterSiteReviewer.com? :)

Seriously, just like the Mercedes specialist that just saved me from making a huge mistake, I can help you with your website. Rather than trying the latest traffic gizmo or buying a mailing list, let me take a look under the hood.

You can even get me to give you a quick evaluation for free. See MasterSiteReviewer.com for details.
 

This week's video review is for a product that helps you keep track of all your affiliate links, passwords and even your ebooks.

That's it for now. See you next Friday.

Have a great weekend!

All the best,
