$7 Script Upgrade

I spent a lot of time working on the $7 script to allow me to use it without customizing every page for every site. Now I only need to fill in the blanks in the config program, put my sales copy on the salespage and oto page and I'm good to go. My name, my company name, my support desk or email address (didn't work in the original), the product name and price, the oto name and price, and the commission are now propagated automatically to every page that needs the info. A big time saver for me. I changed only the config file and text pages, not the script itself, so I think I'm safe if I decide to sell the upgrade. What do you think? Let me know what you think by contacting me at: The Great Ideazine.

The $7 Script

I just love the $7 Script from Jonathon Leger! I particularly love the Early Bird version of the script. Unfortunately, I am not as careful as I should be when I set up a site with the script. This frequently leads to missing email addresses, product names, copyright notices and so on. To prevent this, I end up going over each site three and four times checking and rechecking, and sometimes I still miss a piece of data.

I decided that there had to be a better way. They don't call me Mr Idea for nothing! So I developed some code to solve the problem.

Now all you need to do is write your sales letter and on time offer (there are programs to help you do this) and then run the configuration script. The script coaches you to fill in the blanks for the data for your site. Once you have all the blanks filled in, the script populates ALL of the pages for the site with the correct information.

Now once I have a site up, I know that I don't have to check and recheck to be sure that I got all of the data up there.

If you are interested in more information about the script or my enhancements, check it out HERE.
