Hi Russell: Welcome to the Club. We have a lot of information that will be of interest to you.

So i finished the rough copy and decided to delete the first two pages of copy. Something I learned from watching one of John’s videos. Night and day difference in the copy, now I just to flesh out my product more and I think I can say it’s done.

Links from FB drive most of the traffic to our site. We’re beginning to play with FB remarketing so we’re hopeful that will help with conversions as well.
