Sell More Info Products With Great Graphics
It’s exciting when you decide to sell information products online. You pour your best into creating the product, then you find a great shopping cart like WAHMCart to set up for sales and then you wait… for the sales to roll in… only they don’t.
Sound familiar?
That’s because you may be missing an important piece of information product success – the marketing.
There are plenty of ways for you to market your product and today I want to start with one you may have considered too pricey, complicated or confusing. It’s using graphics, banners and buttons to advertise your products.
Graphics have many uses in your overall marketing plan, including:
- On your salespage to emphasize important selling points.
- On your blog to promote your products.
- On other sites to advertise your products.
- As a tool for your affiliates who want to promote for you.
So I bet you want to know how to get these graphics working for you ASAP, with little cost in the fastest way possible?

TechBased Training: CSS Quickstart
Lynette Chandler of TechBased Training, created a class designed to help you up to speed on CSS quickly so you can put your new skills to work and is great for anyone who is new to web design or those who want to fully grasp CSS so you won’t have to guess and do a ton of trial and errors each time you edit a site or WordPress theme.
“Get trained for better paying technical work so you can stop working so hard. Make more and still have time to enjoy the important things in your life.” ~ TechBased Training
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language.
CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colors, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.
This class covers:
- Understanding basic HTML code and how that translate into what you see on your browser (you have to know a little HTML to use CSS) so you know what you are working with
- How to read and comprehend CSS syntax so you can master them and create your own styles
- Applying CSS to HTML tags
- What’s the difference, why and when to use ID’s, Classes and spans so you will finally know what to do when customizing a WordPress theme and not leave it to guess work
- Understanding CSS hierarchy so you won’t waste time with trial and error
- Applying and overriding existing styles with your own, particularly for WordPress themes so you can customize themes without touching the original theme making upgrades painless
- And much, much more…
Although the class has ended, you can still register to receive a limited time replay of it – NO CHARGE!
This is a great opportunity for:

- Anyone who’s beginning to offer web development services
- VA’s who want better grasp at CSS and stop wasting time on trial and error tweaks
