Welcome! This is YOUR IBSoftShop.

Create an image and a name that your customers will remember. Add your site name. Add your picture. Add your own products and special pages. Got an idea and not sure how to implement it? We're here to help you.

As an IBSoftShop manager, there are a number of different things that you can customize on your site so that it looks, acts and works the way you want it to.

READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE before moving on to the other customization-related pages. We'll discuss more of the strategic topics here while the other pages will focus more on mechanics.

You can customize your "MORE Software" and "MORE Products" pages to include your own stuff. Links on the "MORE Software" page might include software or ebooks that you've created yourself or for which you have resale rights. Links on the "MORE Products" page could include affiliate programs or other sites that you own.

Each page that you create or customize needs to be well planned with a specific goal in mind - whatever it may be.

Let's say that you have 4 affiliate programs that you'd like to promote. Strongly resist the temptation to put them all on one page. Identify your goal and design pages that you think will help you achieve it.

Here's an example...

You're promoting a Marlon Sanders affiliate product.

You want you visitors to buy Marlon's stuff through your affiliate link; and in order for this to happen, you're going to eventually need to send them to Marlon's site.

What's the goal of the page that you're building?

HINT: Build your list or sell something. These are the only two things that anyone ever needs to focus on. If you can do both, that is the ultimate goal.

So, think through how you're going to get your visitor to hand over a first name and email address and still want to go to Marlon's site.

HINT: Distracting the visitor with a plug for a Marlon Sanders product AND a Cory Rudl product AND a Yanik Silver product AND a Nitro Marketing product will be counter productive.

Does that make sense?

We'll be more than happy to work with you to customize your IBSoftShop, but, seriously, plan it, plan it, tear the plan apart, re-do the plan, give yourself some time (but not too long), and then let's go for it.

The decision on how to set up your IBSoftShop's custom pages is totally your decision, but I'd encourage you to think through each and every page rather than just throwing up a bunch of affiliate program links all on one page. If you did that, the only people who would really benefit would be the affiliate program providers because they're getting the incoming links.

Your IBSoftShop Contact Page

The first order of business in customizing your IBSoftShop is to update your contact page to include your personal contact information. Add your picture. Don't be shy! People like to buy from "REAL" people. It doesn't matter if you're not Cary Grant or Julia Roberts. Just knowing that there's a living, breathing human within reach makes all of the difference.

Joe C. has built a Custom Contact Page Software application that will help you create your own custom contact page in about 4 minutes and 19 seconds.
