The Interactive Offer (strategies that did not work for me)

Two weeks ago I tried to test a new strategy to find out if I can launch a product like a free eBook based on a strategy that is now sold on the Internet as "the interactive offer". I found their system very interesting and fortunately, their videos were free at this time (now they charge about $1000 dollar for it).

The first step seemed to work fine for me. I posted an article where I asked my readers to fill out a survey to tell me what product (like eBook/tutorial) they would like to get for free; a product that would help them in their everyday work.

Here is the link to the blog post.

And here is a link to another blog post on my other blog secondpresentation.com.

I've got some replies, indicating interest in moodle and WordPress, so I decided to do the second step. I set up another survey for a follow-up, because I needed to know what exactly the people like to have in this product. Unfortunately I haven't got any replies for this follow-up so far.

Here is the link to the follow-up blog post.

I'm not sure what I have done wrong, but I know that I would really be upset if I had paid money for this method. Fortunately I caught the videos while they were free. I still think it might be a good method to find out customer's needs very easily, but unfortunately it did not work very well in my case.

It seems that I need to continue to publish stuff that I'm interested in writing about, until I find out what people really needs.

Hi, my name is Tracy and I work with Clay Collins, the creator of The Interactive Offer. I just thought I'd pop in here and let you know that the free videos you watched are only the very basic introduction of the entire Interactive Offer Course.

The full course not only contains step-by-step videos of each part of the process (over 70 videos!), but also has checklists for each module so that you can ensure you are completing each part correctly. In addition, the full course also gives you access to Clay on weekly coaching calls, so that he can walk with you through The Interactive Offer process, helping you tweak it and fine tune it for your particular audience. Those calls make all the difference since you can ask him any questions you have. On top of all that, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee so you can come on "inside" and see just how powerful the calls and the material are.

Anyway, I just thought I'd set the record straight. :) The videos you watched give the basic outline, but in just 3 videos we couldn't possibly cover all the steps needed to be taken in order to ensure a successful Interactive Offer. I hope that clears things up a bit.

Many thanks,
Tracy Simmons
