Struggling with Web Design

A common challenge for affiliates is building a site that rises above the affiliate noise. The first sites that I built for University of Phoenix were mediocre at best. I recently received an e-mail from Jeremy Palmer where he talks about a shift in strategy and launching a new site. As I looked at his e-mail and checked out the new design I found it was done by a SitePoint Design Contest. As I dug deeper I was blown away. Here is how it works:

You create a site creative brief. You provide all the specs for your project. You can choose from logo design, web page design (coded), banner ad design, stationary design, print design, etc. After you’ve created what you are looking for you set a price you are willing to pay for the winning design. Folks these prices are reasonable. Jeremy paid $1,000 for his and had 53 submissions. There were many that were very good. I’ve paid Logoworks to design several logos and have been less than impressed with the quality that I’ve seen.

So if you are looking for an edge in getting that sweetheart deal, start by getting a quality site, with a quality design. Rise above the noise!

TV Ads made easy - Spot Runner!

Ok, I stumbled across this company and am racking my brain thinking of all the tests I’d like to try with them. Talk about a fun, easy and cheap way to dip your toes into tv advertising. Basically you get a 30-second TV ad (they have ads to choose from that you can tweak and/or customize) and can filter channels and geographic markets where you want to display the ads. You are apparently provided some tracking stats after running your spots as well. I put in a little test to target a very specific city here in the state of utah and found I could run spots repeatedly for 4 to 8 weeks on channels of my choosing for a very reasonable 3 to 5k. This is one site i’m afraid I will spend quite a bit of money on testing variuos ideas I have floating around - updates to come. Congrats to the guys at Spot Runner on a great concept!
