Any readers that have be following my blog closely will know that I have been creating my product called Auction Profits Exposed that launched this week, today is the last day to get it for a discount price and after that it will be increasing. But this post is not about I am not here to talking about my product LOL. 🙂

It’s about what I have been going this past week and what I have learnt in which this amazing launch.

1. Expect the unexpected

Yes, very cliché I know, but that is exactly what happened before the launch. I personally like to plan things to a T and get everything in order before I do things, or announce things, just like this product, it was finished a month ago and tested and done. All I had to do was market it. Right? WRONG!!! I had so many issues right until the morning of the launch that I thought I would never get it done.

It all started when I was announcing my product on FB that someone bought it. Which I personally thought it was great, but they couldn’t access the upsell they had bought. They messaged me on FB about the problem. He was so nice about it, and helped me see the issues that I could potentially have when I go live. And that wasn’t picked up when I tested. Around this time it was a week left to launch date. I tried to fix the issue but 2 days had past and no solution was in sight. I asked on some FB groups and realized I wasn’t the only person who had the issues with optimize member and protecting content. The only solution was Wishlist, which was either $197 for a single license or $297 for unlimited license. I went for the $197 single license as I was only going to use it on one site.

2. Keep your Cool

After installing Wishlist, I had no idea on how to set it up, their training was okay, but due to my panic I was clearing understanding them. John, assured me everything will be okay, just keep calm. Wait till tomorrow and everything will be okay. Then another issue came up that went people were buying the product, no passwords or logins were being sent to the buyers email address.  This problem even stumped John as he could not figure out why this was happening. 48 hours till launch and nothing was getting fixed. Messages were being sent back and forth. Then finally a breakthrough, 4 hours before launch, the issue was fixed. The problem was my Home page for my site was protected and it shouldn’t have been.

3. What about my auto responder?

Another major issue was when buyers were buying they were not being added to my auto responder list, which was Aweber. To fix the issue quickly I moved to Get Response, and the issue was fixed. However I was familiar with Aweber and I personally liked it. Now I have to go through the process of learning how to use Get Response.

I had other minor issues with this launch but I thought I would just share a few major ones that gave me sleepless nights. Have you have any issues before a launch, if so let me know in the comments below.

Until Next Time. .  . .
