dear friend,

i visited my first ever web site online, some time in 1995 - and i built my first ever web site, some time in 1997. boy, have i come a long way since then!

it hasn't been an easy journey, but has certainly been a pleasurable one.

ever since i published my first web site on borrowed space on a friend's computer, as i kept learning new stuff, explored other people's sites, pondered for hours over their strategies and successes, and ventured into more than one of my own projects, only one thing has remained constant - my need to do many, many things with my web site.

it is the era of self-service, isn't it?

i mean, think about it:

• gas stations give you a lower price if you pump your own gas
• utility companies (power, phone, cable) give you great incentives if you sign up for online bill payments
• banks want you to use the atm - and most even charge you a fee if you go to a teller for withdrawing money
• the post office encourages you to print your stamps online and ship stuff yourself
• many vendors offer you lower prices on their web sites than in their brick-and-mortar stores
  

the verdict is out - self-help is in - mostly, at least.

and what better way to help your visitors serve themselves, and get information on-demand, than to automate key functions of your web site!

you probably already know that the two lists above are not exhaustive. they are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

you could get as fancy with your web site as you wanted to. that's the beauty of the web - the only limits are those set by your imagination and creativity - and most importantly, your customer's needs!

by fancy, i don't mean having flashing images, useless java applets, and popping windows and moving text all over your site. but it is certainly nice to have a web site that is highly automated to be your "we are open round-the-clock" store front, serving your customers and selling your products 24x7? i mean, isn't that the greatest benefit of having a web site?

take a look around on this site - there isn't a single advertisement. no popups, no flashing images, no affiliate links.

but, if you are like most people, then you probably don't have the few hundred - or even few thousand dollars (being extremely optimistic here) - that it would take to pay a web developer to program the scripts that would do all of the cool stuff i mentioned above.

let's be honest - many web site owners do not know what they want from their site.

and most of them usually don't know what is even possible on the web.

i don't blame them - because i know as much about "lymphosarcoma of the liver" as a doctor would know about php (actually, they are smarter than me in many ways - they can use a computer much better than i could use a x-ray machine!

the point is, no one can be an expert at everything.

so, at times, things are best left to an expert - in this case, when it comes to writing web applications that work for you and your customer, that expert would be me.

so, coming back to my original train of thought, assuming you did have the money to splurge like in the days of the disastrous dot-coms, and also knew exactly what you wanted, and were lucky enough to find a just-got-laid-off programmer who would work for food, or very little money, there is still no guarantee that you would end up with a practical, powerful, and most importantly usable application!

now, here's a very simple equation that works for every business:

as your income goes up, and your expenses come down, your profits go up!

obviously, this is the simplest way to increase your bottomline - and this is what every business owner strives for.

when your primary goal is to earn more and spend less, the last thing is you need is money leaking from under your precious profits bucket into the pockets of some insanely overpriced, self-proclaimed "guru" programmer, who neither understands what you need, nor can provide any useful input towards making your web programs and scripts work for you - and for most importantly, your customer!

for instance, someone who has never used clickbank or paypal extensively to sell products of their own, can never understand the intricate details of how these systems work - like say, the paypal ipn or clickbank proof of purchase (pop) technologies.

someone who has not had their products stolen by hackers can never write applications like the paypal download protector or the clickbank download protector that protect your thank you page from getting bookmarked or your product urlgetting posted publicly on the web.

someone who has not had the need to track clicks, ads in third-party newsletters and web sites, and downloads from their own web site can never know what exactly goes into making a powerful campaign tracking web application.

bottomline - you need a power-packed solution - like the webmasterinabox tool kit.

my scripts are about as low in hype, and as high in substance, as they come.

you get not only all of my programming expertise with it, but also the scripts have been built from the ground up with all of my e-business experience built right into the core!

let me give you a quick tour of the webmasterinabox possibilities, so that even if you don't buy from me today, i would still want you to know what you can really do, what is really possible, so that whenever you decide to buy, you will be able to make the most educated decision.

	c.a.p.e	this is our most popular script, mainly because it has features that no other script on the web has. set up multiple landing pages, sell multiple products on multiple web sites, all with just one single clickbank account. even clickbank doesn't offer this feature!

what are the benefits of using the webmasterinabox.net tool kit? some of the benefits of using our scripts will be instantly apparent the moment you install our scripts. but the real depth of our how our scripts can benefit your business, not just right now, but more importantly in the long run, may not be obvious until you start using the scripts. so, though the true benefits are many and not discernible to the visitor's eye, i will try my best to list them here without overstating them, without any hype - just the absolute truth. i have bought many items on the internet, some good, some bad. the really great one come from companies and people like you. i love to deal with people and companies that stand behind there products like yours. i had an issue, which was really my own oversight, which was resolved very quickly by you. it makes me feel better to know that companies such as yours will stand behind the products/services that they sell. keep up the great work. dr schemerhorn president, solutions for goldmine solutionsforgoldmine.com   the unseen, non-obvious benefits highly integrated scripts you could buy 10 different scripts to do 10 different things from 10 different vendors. and you will end up with 10 different applications that are oblivious of each other just will not, can not work together. our scripts have been designed from the ground up to work with the other scripts in the suite. here's a simple example of how the scripts work hand-in-glove to deliver tremendous benefits and high-impact performance in ways that you couldn't have possibly imagined: your affiliate signs up for your affiliate program (afftrakker) using the personalized ready-made link (afftrakker), s/he is able to send his visitors to any page on your web site (c.a.p.e). s/he is able to create cloaked affiliate links on your site that protects his affiliate links (affiliate link cloaker). he is even able to track the performance of his affiliate links (afftrakker) he is also able to manage his ad campaigns on your site (clicktracker) you are able to track which affiliate is sending you the links (c.a.p.e) you are able to split traffic, send them randomly to different versions of your home page and track which copy converts better (in development - c.a.p.e) when your visitor who arrived through cape purchases your product, you are able to deliver it in the most secure way possible on the internet - using temporary, expiring download links which never reveal the name or location of your files (download protector). when a purchase is complete, you are able to not only deliver the product, but also add your visitor to your autoresponder (clickbank automator). you can also then track which affiliate sent you the visitor who ended up as a buyer (in development - c.a.p.e, download protector) and notify the affiliate of the sale while also recording it in your own database. send personalized e-mail to your affiliates and your buyers, while personalizing name, username, password, and so on up to 5 different fields (afftrakker, mail-merger enterprise). it's not just about now, it is about tomorrow; and the day after... the following scripts, or add-ons to existing scripts, are in development right now, but this is how they fit into the big picture. so, continuing the scenario from above, this is how it goes: right from within his affiliate account, he is able to recommend your site to his friends, by sending out a personalized e-mail to his contacts, with his affiliate link embedded in the e-mail (coming soon - clickbank tell-a-friend). he can track not only how many clicks he is sending your way (afftrakker/c.a.p.e) but he will also be able to view the number of impressions of his links (feature coming soon in clicktracker). he will be able to track roi, cpm, cpc, and more right on your web site (feature coming soon in clicktracker). run reports of who your top affiliates are, and contact them personally to motivate them further and work with them to sell better (afftrakker). when your buyer arrives at your thank-you page after having purchased your product(s), automatically add them to your private members-only site, while creating a unique username and password for each buyer (coming soon - clickbank privatesite manager). track membership site usage, and be alerted if usernames are being shared illegally by multiple users (coming soon - clickbank privatesite manager). we do not wish to give away all our ideas and future plans here, but to say the least, the possibilities are endless. plug-and-play, copy-and-paste scripts all our scripts are extremely newbie-friendly - which means you don't need any knowledge of programming or scripting. simply copy-and-paste, change a few variables (like your web site name, your e-mail address, etc.), and you are ready to go. highly customizable you can completely customize all the scripts to match your web site's look and feel. you will not have any webmasterinabox links or references any where on any script. once you install it, it will look and work just as if you hired a programmer to custom-program the scripts for your site. instantly customizable almost all scripts (which have an web interface) come with two files - "header.php" and "footer.php" - into which you can paste your web site's html code, and it will look just as if you plugged the script right into an existing page on your web site. takes just a few minutes to customize it to your needs. minimal technical knowledge required no prior programming or technical experience required. you only need to know how to do simple things like modify the files and upload them to your site. you get detailed tutorials on how to do things like chmod fanatic'nical support as you read through this page, and my "elizabeth-taylor's 8th husband syndrome" story, and if you browse through our technical support page, you will see that support is my #1 priority. all our customer testimonials reiterate this truth. also, being a site owner myself, and the fact that i'm constantly trying out new technology and ideas for small business owners, i will always keep continuously brainstorming and working with the most relevant material online - which means i'll constantly keep coming up with ideas for new scripts, new add-on's and features and new ways in which to integrate existing scripts. you benefit the most as a result of my experience, ideas, creativity, and programming and marketing skills. you will not find this unique combination of skills on any other product owner's resume`! the webmasterinabox.net suite is an investment for life - it will pay you back a thousand times over in the years to come. trust me, you will never regret it.

the "elizabeth-taylor's-8th-husband syndrome"

i'm glad you stuck with me. because i've been dying to tell you a story - the story of my life so far...

it was some time in the year 2001.

i had just turned off the lights in my small home office (our 3rd bedroom, which i was sharing with my daughter's 537,236 toys). i had also just shut down my computer - more like "yanked-the-power-chord". i was so mad that i had hit the power key in disgust.

i had just about had enough of it - my web site was going nowhere. i had tried everything i knew (at that point at least) and it just wasn't working out.

no one was buying! no #%$* sales!

i had just visited my competitors' sites, and it looked like most of them must have fewer sales than me - i guessed it must be their lousy copy, unusable navigation, scripts stolen from other free script sites, applications that no one really cared about, and payment by "check" (or the occasional paypal) as the only payment option!

there were a few of them that looked pretty decent on the surface, but as you went deep into it, you could see a lot of unprofessional stuff on the site - like not even a "contact us" form - i had to click on a stupid "mailto" link and send the owner e-mail using my own e-mail client!

anyway, after a lot of soul browsing, i was still left with no answer.

i thought to myself, "what the heck am i doing wrong? my products are so much better than those of my competitors - they're unbeatable in terms of both programming and usefulness. what more do i have to do to sell more? what the #$%& am i doing wrong?"

it was quiet for a while...

that's what it was! the "elizabeth taylor's 8th husband" syndrome!

finally, i was getting somewhere!

it had just occurred to me that in my anxiety to churn out script after brilliant script (in my opinion, of course ;-), i had completely forgotten the basics of building a business - setting yourself apart from your competitors - a.k.a. usp (unique selling proposition).

and thus i had ended up facing this huge dilemma, much like elizabeth taylor's 8th husband.

i knew what to do, but i didn't know how to do it better!

after reading every e-book and e-course from every self-proclaimed "marketing guru", i only knew what i was "supposed" to do - i didn't know how to apply that knowledge to my business - i didn't know how to do it any differently than those before me!

i was clueless about how to make it exciting enough for my customers to buy my scripts!

i did not have anything unique in my business model - yes, my scripts were well written, they were arguably the best of the breed, the ideas were very creative, i was very prompt in returning calls and emails, i was extremely quick in offering tech support, blah blah blah.

who cared? certainly not my visitors.

it was then i knew that i had to do something different. something the others (read "the 7 husbands") before me had not done ...

since then, i have formulated my own unique ironclad, no-nonsense guarantees for all my products. i live, eat, breathe and swear (sorry) by these rules, with god, and the legal system as my witnesses.

now, think "inside" the box for a second.

how much more would you do if i gave you tools that would you let you automate your sales like never before, track campaigns and clicks and pages and downloads and make changes to your sales pages on the fly like you never thought possible, protect your precious digital products, images and even affiliate links from hijackers and thieves, send unlimited, customized bulk mail to your subscribers and clients, manage your affiliates and make them more productive by giving them copy-and-paste sales copy with ready-made sales links, and so much more?

how much time, money and effort would *you* save, if i gave you a magical box containing 25 tools which form the heart and soul of a web site, are an absolute necessity for your web site to function as a well-oiled, smooth-running, highly automated cash machine?

what if that one single box contained stuff so powerful, that you could plug-and-play the scripts just by changing a word here and a variable there, customize them to your web site with only a few key strokes, and do stuff with your site that you have never done before?

what if i guaranteed you that these programs will altogether save you so much time, money and effort - time that could be spent on creating better marketing copy which sells your products better, spending less effort managing your web site - that could instead be spent enjoying that much-needed break from work soaking up the sun on your favorite beach, or sprawled on the couch in your pajamas watching tv (or curling up in bed with a hot cup of tea and a book, listening to soulful melodies), time that could be better spent on your son's football game or your daughter's ballet concert, or time that you could spend whisking away your significant other - who works extra hard for your sake so that you can take care of your ebusiness - for a special romantic get-away?

i could write many more pages and bore you to death with the mind-numbing possibilities that open up to you when you purchase a copy of the webmasterinabox tool kit.

but all said and done, if you are not even willing to try the scripts, then you'll never truly appreciate what i'm talking about.

that is why i have made it as easy as possible for you by eliminating all risk from your decision.

there you go. i've said it all.

trust me, you will not regret this decision.

if for some unimaginable reason, you do change your mind, then don't worry - both your credit card company and my merchant account provider are readily standing by - to bail you out even before you can say "gimme back my money"
