Are there any splash page templates we could customize to capture opt-in email/name information using the Kiosk autoresponder? Are there any free reports or other deals we could use as enticements?
Hi Joel and Mike, great hc beta test yesterday! As my market is speaking german, do you have plans to translate kiosk and hc to german too? Or do you need help for the german versions? Best wishes from austria,
Mike Hecke
How about a free report in the form of a re-brandable e-book.
Bravo! Can hardly wait…
What I would love to see is a special report or video on why Kiosk and HC are ideal for network marketing.
Would like it to be brandable with kiosk and HC links.
This could become a viral product that is placed on a capture page or sent to existing network marketers and prospective marketers.
You may already have these and I missed it… :o)
I would also like notice of Grand Opening so I can come on down and take the tour and get to know you…

I really enjoyed the product and would like to know how to acquire the product or signature of the product.
I think We need more tools to promote Hotconferece :May Be a Hughe and nice Landing page to improve the conversions and capture more sales. The top converting KeyWords in Google Adwords right now, and we can use.
Joel, you are saling the “A-Z video course” , whi don´t give more efective tools to have a real income for all suscribers??
And i´m from Argentina, I sepak Spanish & is too hard work whit all in English, or you can “hablar y leer en español??” ja,ja,ja
Please give a real help for your team!
And the last one, start fast whit HC in Flash, i think this the real GOL!
( sorry to my english, next time i can wrigth in spanish if you want 🙂

The question submitted by Dick is a very good concept. I believe it would flood your blog.
Most blogs turn into gossip, critical sites. You need to keep yours high brow and down to earth.
Thanks for the tour. First wish: Better communication (Blog is one way … need to return e-mails, be able to access HC when people are really there, etc..), Second wish: Pathway to Success (step by step for new people to promote Hotconference and Kiosk.WS), Third wish: Instructions on how WE launch a new project/site/product as well as an affiliate program, Fourth wish: A Joint Venture outline (many of your customers promote others … so let’s set up a JV profile).
Enough for now.
Thanks for all you do.

Hey Guys,
Let’s get the invitations going out for the party!
Since the Dallas Cowboys have cheerleaders… what about the Kiosk team having THEIR cheerleaders?? HUH!
On a serious side, let’s have a mega LIVE self help event with the top personalities of the industry in HC to help you with the official launch.
I’m ready to make it happen. Let’s just set some dates and show the world what your technology is all about, but most important, let’s demonstrate YOUR INTENTION as to WHY you created HC and Kiosk… and from where I’m sitting (in Costa Rica), you guys created this to EMPOWER people to SUCCESS!!
Let’s have fun!
Warmly
Bob DF
Testimonials for your products, that we can use on our blogs to promote. And yes, templates for squeeze pages and op-in for email/name as Dick suggested. Why don’t you have us send in testimonials for the products we are using now?
Also when is the video product going to be usable?
Love the Data Center. It is going to be awesome.
Your suggestion of putting money in our pockets sounds great to me. I’m looking forward to your finished product.
Hey you guys gals readers posters one n all … An Action plan for every one to follow on a daily basis every one given a task to do like post in a forum post a free advert post a blog comment email there list video banners etc etc if all the tools where in one page in list format as in steps 1 2 3 members could be encouraged to action … I no this already exists in the kiosk members area … I’m thinking a new page for this BIG promotion as a special … Just a thought! … my two pennith … oh yes and see my Trick or Treat link for a special offer word hyper link
All my best to you and yours

Stop trying out every little gimmick to make money. Stop stepping on other multi levelers by sending another MLM product down the pipeline. Most are restricted from even doing Hot Conference, if they were to read the contracts they signed. You have a great product in Hot Conference and Kiosk. Concentrate on making them even better.
There is an old story about a young bull and old bull, both are standing on hilltop overlooking a serene scene below. Cows and heifers are peacefully grazing. The young bull says to the old bull “ lets go down and make love to one those cows!†The old bull says “let’s walk and make love to them all!†In other words don’t be in such a big hurry to get rich.
Hot Conference is in an ideal position to fill in the gaps now being created by high gas prices, poor economy etc. Put all your efforts on what you have.
How about a co-op advertising campaign?
Company rotator?
Mini splash sites?
Hi, it is fun to watch the excitement mounting… and a wave to Ilona 🙂
Cheers, Freda
I would like there to be sufficient marketing material for all the different programmes to be successfully promoted with out having to be a premium member of the programme untill subcription levels paid for all the memberships? other than that I am happy to have chosen kiosk for my hosting co.
Hi Team,
For the opening of the new cutting edge Data Center, I would like to propose:
1. Three new great videos about
a) the new Data Center,
b) the new HotConference product,
c) Kiosk with all products it is offering.
The Videos to b) and c) should highlight both, the products and the business opportunities offered.
2. New HotConference websites for
a) Companies and Professionels,
b) Network Marketing – including
one or two new capture pages, if possible each with a video.
I guess, with this arsenal we will be well equipped to take the worldwide market by storm.
One last wish! Please, please, do not launch the new HotConference software as long as it needs still a download, even only a very small installation is required. The expectation is there: HotConference will be cutting edge and completely web based without any download and installation. Please, don’t disappoint your customers and partners after all the announcements, you and – based upon your coments – we did!
Best regards from Germany,
Horst-Dieter Schipporeit
Hi Mike and Joël,
There is what I would like to see on your Hotconference system :
– A calendar to display my upcoming events.
– An instructor management system where I will be able to allow rooms and time to all my instructors.
– Possibility for my clients to pay their seat trough Paypal and Moneris before the events.
– Menus and every fonctions in french
– A help button for people who cannot get to the room (with live help, given trough your own support staff, in french).
– A FAQ that explains almost all solutions if people cannot use their webcam in the room or if the sound doesn’t work.
– A help desk in french where your support people could answer directly to my clients and also to the instructors that will use my rooms.
– A completely rebrandable system where I will be able to put my company’s name everywhere.
So this what I am looking for. And everything should be at a very agressive price such as the one you offer now for the actual version of Hotconference.
Thanks guys. You do a very good job and I look foward working with you.
Daniel
i would very much love to see the feature where you can have access to the other persons desktop it was so helpful for helping someone and i miss it terribly!! please bring it back thanks BabyAngellLynn (Heaven Leigh)Angell Lynn BArbara Ann Bell

Joel & Mike.
Well, since it’s the weekend I didn’t pass Math today. Oh Boy!!! Time to go back to bed and start over again. :>)
Any way, have you thought of offering Unlimited Online Backup such as what Carbonite advertises, http://www.carbonite.com?
Excellent info and updates on the DC. Always look forward to Monday and Friday.
Great job!!!!
Thanks……….

Hi Joel and Mike,
Well, my comment is “focus on finishing till the end one of the ideas at a time” would help a lot if we are offering related products to our core products to have a competitive advantage.
The related service should deliver great value so they stay with us
For example our marketing tools with a clear strategy and a follow through strategy:
If we are going to offer an autoresponder as a Plus for the price of the hosting package – it must compeate with getresponse or aweber service otherwise we are not in a competitive age on that area because people at the end is going to look for another service.
Also the domain registration prices hope we can lower that service price.
Other very important point that I would like to know about the results are for example the viral 10 seat rooms, they supose to convert people at some point, 6 months ago I heard there was going to be like an advertising network integrated for the members and many advantages because of this strategy.
I think that until there is a translation available for the viral page that appears, it would help a lot let the people trun off or on that particular viral page.
Looking forwards to the opening of the DC
Hello Joel and Mike,
It is great that the new Data Center is nearing completion.
However, is it a good idea to have the UPS System within the same area that the UPS is covering?
Normally, the UPS System is housed external from the area it is protecting.
Moving on, it would be good if you could provide the basic SWF or FLV files of your “Monday and Friday Videos” to us, this would allow us to show your videos within our websites, or at least provide a commissionable link to your blog.
Also, please hurry, with the new version of HC, the ability for a visitor to a chat room, by clicking one link is enormous. No downloading .exe files etc, will be in itself a great promotional tool.
Hi
Really pleased for you.
Love your company and everything you stand for.
Maybe this is the wrong place to put this but am not very happy – I have submit a few support tickets, and told your staff need an asap reply to upgrade to your Titanium package, they sent me one reply back and not heard anything else and I told them I need to upgrade asap as need to put a few sites up – now its the weekend so am not going to hear anything until maybe late Monday night as I am in the UK – can you please get them to sort it out for me?
Thanks
Type your comment here.Type your comment here.Amigo Joel en lo unico que podria decirle ya que tendremos un data center es si es posible que los autos responder tengan un sistema de ponder poner todos los correos en orden alfabetico ya que cuando ten fo una duda tengo que recrrer todo el listado para ver si existe ese correo y no tener que reescribirlo, esta bien Ud. me dira que es automatico el rechazo cuando esta ya escrito ese correo pero yo antes de ingresarlo lo tengo en papeles impresos y no quisiera perder tiempo esribiendo todos los datos para ver que despues esta rechazado por que ya se encuentran en el listado Type your comment in here.Amigo Joel could only say that because we have a data center is whether it is possible that the cars respond with a system to respond to put all mail in alphabetical order because when they have certainly got a promotion that everything recrrer listing to see if there is such mail and not have to rewritable, you okay. I will say that it is automatically rejected if this already written this post before but I got him admitted roles in print and would not want to waste time esribiendo all the data to see that after this rejection that are already on the list
I’d like to see a disposable or one-time-use (with a single click) HotConference room for those who do not wish to commit to a monthly cost. This would be a great sales lead to hook new customers! The cost of the one-time room would be proportional to the amount of time required or it can be used as a freeby gimmick.
Good morning one and all.
As I have no computer technology skills, just a few basic fundamentals.
I have had help setting up a web page. There is so much to it; it is a nightmare, for a novice. And still working on it.
As I am in the process of learning to add video to the page, a template like this page would be a hoot! All so one needs a host for the videos. I believe some companies charge a once of cost. If you are able to offer a package of a page template (like this blog page) and host the videos ON A “MLM†FORMAT I think every one would benefit.
Say for $30.00 a month, One would only need to find 3 or 4 people to recoup the investment of $30.00 a month for the above package, and as the list grows that is when every one benefits.
The above is just an idea, as I do not know what the implications are of setting up the above package on the mlm format.
all the best,
David . Western Australia
Good Job guys!!!
Being a professional networker with 1000s of reps in my business…These
are some of the challenges you might help alleviate if you can put all of this under 1 umbrella …
1. Replicating software for websites we create
2. Phone Blasting software similar to I Buzz pro…do a search on I Buzz Pro. Sending a phone message to 1000s with a click of a button is something all networkers need
3.Leads…being able to buy surveyed, Tv, radio, leads
4. capture screen software similar to camtasia
one last thing… modify the marketing plan…lets include matching bonuses & a pool system.
Hows that for a challenge?
Franco
Wowwaweewaa!
Very NICE!
congrats guys on this place becoming an amazing datacenter!
I think it would be awesome if you have a co-op advertising program.
you can invest some money into this co-op and all the leads are split between those who invested in the co-op.
I think this would be awesome because We (the hosting members) would be investing in kiosk because we believe in it.
then we could start earning money from it and it would be like a huge snowball effect… the company would grow the members commissions would grow which would keep them with kiosk… good customer base + growing customers = Massive growth and an exploding business!
I would love it because then I could actually start getting a passive income!
Hi Joel and Mike,
I’m a newbie who has been bombarded with so much information that I can only learn by reading other readers’ comments here. To put in massive cash in our pockets, I can summarise their ideas here:
$$$1) Splash page templates to capture opt-in email or name information.
$$$2) Free reports as enticements eg.rebrandable ebooks.
$$$3) A special report or video on why Kiosk and HC are ideal for network marketing. A viral product to be placed on a capture page.
$$$4) Nice Landing page to improve conversion rates.
$$$5) Testimonials for your products to be used on our blogs to promote.
$$$6) Post in a forum/ Post a free advert/ Post a blog comment/Post video banners.
I remember reading a post from a blog that teaches 101 ways of promoting….let me search for it and see if I can find it…then I’ll post the link here.
Meanwhile, I wish you success in the opening of your DC Centre.

I think a big winner that would be attractive to prospects is a system that helps us to not only collect leads but also helps us to signup prospects. A system that is continually functioning day in and day out. I won’t mind paying a fee for such service.
I am still in hopes that you will consider PC/INTERNET EDUCATION for all who need or want it.
I am very excited about you all being in my home State.
GREAT BUILDING!
Pat, Tech Lady
Had to correct my site.
Thanks, Pat, Tech and I made a Boo Boo Lady
Hope I got it right thie time.
UGH!
Pat
First if all I would like to commend you on what you are doing with this blog.
According to, what I think is THE text book on Web 2.0 and Social Media, “Groundswell†by soandso, you are engaging the “goundswell†with this blog. The Groundswell is defined as “whatever it saysâ€.
You are in company with the early adapters here, companies like Dell, Proctor and Gamble, etc. they too are engaging the growndswell!
By implementing this approach to customer service, we the people, your customers, can participate in forging our future in term of our products and our business. That is exactly what we want. For the benefit of those of you have not been with us from the early days, it is important to point out that from the outset our management of team has operated in this fashion intuitively since the beginning. It is only in the last year or so that we have seen a decline in the opportunity to participate in the process. This is only because we had to put the breaks on serious marketing and growth until we get the bandwidth we need to take us to the next level and beyond i.e. the new DC in San Antonio! That phase is almost over. We are almost there and sure enough Joel and Mike have the insight to start the fires burning once again.
I know you keep saying that the DC will be open soooooon but honestly, from what I see in your tour, we have the time we need to get things (our marketing plans) together for the BIG re-launch!
Here is what I would like to see that can improve what we have: (I am not going to go on about everything that is right, because I am sure we all agree that we have a great opportunity with both web hosting and web conferencing.)
Kiosk
Autoresponder
The Super responder (our Kiosk autoresponder) needs to be, like mentioned earlier, as good as Getresponse and Aweber. It isn’t. I managed to set up one series of autoresponders using it and it works, it send out messages to those who subscribed to it but that is about it. Perhaps a branded version of Aweber might be the solution. Mike Filsame did it and I imagine Kiosk could do it to. I doubt that such an offering could be included in the price but even if it could be offered as a Premium autoresponder solution, that is commissionable to the matrix somehow, that would be great.
Web site builder
Sorry guys but Quicksite2go is not very user friendly, robust or flexible. The idea is great as it is time to get away from the need to use dedicated HTML production software and switch to anywhere-anytime hosted solutions. I do not have any suggestions here but I know that other hosting companies have very robust and flexible solutions available to their customer base. I came across one such solution and contacted the hosting company to see if they would sell it or lease it but they were understandably not interested as it was one of their USPs (Unique Selling Propositions).
We need an easy to use and flexible content management solution. WordPress is such a solution and I comment you for making it so simple to install in the back office but it is a challenging and complicated task to set one up, specially to be Web 2.0 friendly.
The rest of the products available
I have never really understood how to use any of the other products that are included in the back office. Mia culpa? Maybe, but I am generally pretty good a figuring things out and following instruction to get web based things to work. It would be nice to have webinars or online videos to explain how we can set up and use everything that we have access to, like Downtime Witness. Like I said my lack of understanding may be my fault (mia culpa: Latin: my fault) but I could not figure out or find out how to set it up, so it sits on my hard drive taking up space. Anyway there is a continuous improvement opportunity here.
Hot Conference
I love web conferencing. It is an awesome product. However I am concerned about it as there are lots of similar services around now. I must add though that none I know of have such a great business opportunity as we do and that is key. I am sorry I missed the beta test on Friday of the new version. (I don’t know how I missed the notice about it.) I think we are definitely on the right track with the “no download necessaryâ€. Multi-platform approach. Good move!
Anyway here is what I would like to see:
Polling
Some kind of polling function would be nice. The easiest way to implement would be just the old-fashioned “show of hands†solution. Two of the status symbols could be changed to thumbs up and thumbs down icons that could be useful to get a show of members’ position on a given question. A completely customizable polling questionnaire with immediate results would be better; you know the kind that other company (Webex) does.
Recording
I think we should have recording available to anyone in the room. I know that in the beginning when we had it that way some “gurus†complained as they did not want their precious word captured by anyone or some other lame reason but things have changed. Web 2.0 has made it very important for those who want to get ahead to freely give of their knowledge and expertise. At least lest make it so that we can make it recordable by anyone or just the moderator in the setting of each of our rooms.
It would also be beneficial to be able to record the visual aspect of any presentation as well. Not so much the members list and all the text chatter that can happen in a conference but it would be very good to be able to capture the built in web browser visuals that goes with the audio. That would be so cool.
Telephone access
I know this one is hard but if Talkshoe and Instant teleseminar can do it, we must ask: Why can’t we. What am I talking about? Telephony and/or telephone access to our conferences so that our guests can have access to our conferences using their PC or their phones. We need portability here. Maybe this has to be offered at a premium I don’t know but it should be available.
Video
I am convinced that flash is the way to go but whatever way video is done it would sure be nice to have more that one video available at lease two that we could use to invite others to present during a conference and the quality of the video should be as hi-def as possible, like your blog :~) I know I know that is a TALL order but it sure would be nice!
Moderator Handoff
It would be way cool to be able to hand off moderator status to someone in the room so that they could control the “follow meâ€. Even if just ‘follow me†could be handed off on the fly that would be very handy.
Hands free
Hands free should be available to anyone in the room. Of course moderator cancellation is essential on this one but guest who are invited to speak for any length of time can get a sore finger from holding the TALK NOW button down for extended periods. It would just be nice and IMO more professional to have CLICKON-CLICKOFF functionality.
Skins
It would be nice to have the ability to custom colour of our rooms to match our web site colour schemes. It would be awesome to have difference skins available as well.
As for Marketing…
We have to become good marketers. We can’t just rely on the company to do everything for us. If we are going to be in business for the long haul we just have to become good marketers. What the company can continue to do is to offer ongoing training in all aspects of promotion and production. Some good marketing tools like lead capture pages, banners, sales letters, sample Adword ads, etc would be great but I think there are already some things we can use in the back offices of both K and HC.
In closing…
Thank you for this chance to participate and for the great opportunity we have to be in the right place at the right time! Keep up the good work.
Oh and one more thing: Start using Twitter, the web 2.0 social media micro blogging service that is free. It uses are limited only by the imagination. The US airline BlueJet is even using it very effectively for ongoing customer service. It is an incredible service. Follow me at http://www.twitter.com/JakeMcAuley
I would also like to say that there is some great suggestions in the post to date. I think we are onto something good here.
OOOPS!
“Groundswell ~ Winning in a world transformed by social technologies” was written by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff from Forester Research and published by Harvard Business Press.
The groundswell is defined as the whole set of activity that is driving the social media or Web 2.0 It is all about communities and sharinging information and experiences (both positive and negative) with everything from the products we purchase to, well, just about everything else and it ain’t going away.
Sorry for the oversight :~) I meant to fix those elements of my post before submitting.
Why not make HotConference just an optional additional product to Kiosk? Why an entirely separate downline required?
Another idea – I license Interspire SendStudio for my email lists and autoresponder needs. Maybe you can get a site license and sell sublicenses? (Nothing against SuperSponder, but I was already using this tool.)
I love the videos showing the progress on the datacenter!

Hi Joel and Mike again,
I think I’ve found the link. I hope this will help. Sorry, it’s 102 ways not 101 ways that I mentioned earlier. Here is the link: http://courtneytuttle.com/2007/04/09/102-ways-to-make-your-blog-or-site-a-back-link-superstar
Seamas from Singapore
Working in a non-english country it would be fine with more translations. Understand that you not can do all this by your selves. When you are producing new promotion material, maybe it could be possible to do some “templates” with the most important messages where we could translate/fill in text in our own lanugages. I suppose you have trusted affiliates working in those languages who could do this work for you and you can then make the tranlations available for everyone who wants.
Features.
For me and the way I use HC it would be fine with the White board function togehter with powerpoints.
Full duplex, Skype and many country phone companies offers conference calls with up to approx 10 participiants. If we could compete here it would be fine, “small” conference rooms with full duplex for up to maybe 10 people.
With all the new broadband, will the numbers of possible visitors to video live shows increase (compare e.g. ustream.tv)?
Looking forward to all the new possibilities.

Good FREE stuff is alway a winner.
joel heres a winner
for the grandopening of the data center run a contest on the best video comments posted on your blog
it would mean using the video comments plugin here http://riffly.com/ or makeing your own in house version then have them on a vote page this would be a traffic getter start letting affilates know first and offer them
free access to the next bootcamp or something of great value like that
then a different offer to non affilates to bring them to kiosk or hc a lot more can be done with this but this is a start let me know if it sounds good
