So, as 2009 slips into the past and I look forward to 2010 and beyond, I cant help but think how fast the last couple of months have flown by.
Only 3 short months ago I introduced the idea of Easy Video Player publicly, for the first time, to the readers of this blog.
Since then I have kept myself busy, working hard with my team perfecting the product and getting it ready for launch.
Easy Video Player is a product I wanted to create for all the marketers out there who struggle with video. It is a product I am really proud of, something that I genuinely wanted to create to solve peoples problems and give myself, and others a tool that, in my ideal world, should exist!
Well, I am happy to say that now, it does.
In my eyes, you should never create products to make a profit, to build your name or to gain leads. You should make products to solve problems, help people and if you do that, the rewards will come. This is where SO many people get product creation wrong. Focus on solving problems and people will pay you, try to make something to extract cash from people and they wont.
The most rewarding part of everything that has happened for me so far though is getting the incredible feedback from Easy Video Player test users.
We decided, before we went ahead with our full launch, we should run a limited test launch.. Get the product out there and get the feedback of the market. We could then work hard to make sure everything was as close to perfect as possible in time for the full commercial launch.
Well, to say the response to the test launch was overwhelming would be an understatement! We started getting people contact us and congratulate us daily and telling us that this product would change how they use video in their businesses.
The best bit though was that we had countless people telling us that Easy Video Player is the best product they have got their hands on in years, or even that they had ever got their hands on, in the marketing industry!
This sort of feedback really makes me realize that I have achieved what I set out to achieve with Easy Video Player..
One of the proudest moments for me however was all of this leading to me getting to speak to a business role model of mine.
He is a marketing expert called Mike Filsaime and someone I followed since starting my first business back in 2004. I have read many of his books, courses and content over the years and a lot of it has helped teach me marketing principles I still use in my business today.
He is obviously thought of as a guru in the internet marketing industry and he is one of the biggest and most forward thinking marketers in the world.
What made it all the more sweet for me was that I had personally followed his material for such a long time and he actually bought a copy of my product during test launch and then went on to tweet about it and then phone me personally to congratulate me on making what he thought was a great product. (later going on to provide me with a great testimonial too)
He gave me some great advice and ideas for the product which we quickly worked in, ready for launch.
Since the initial great feedback from our test, more and more people have been jumping on board to promote and I have been lucky enough to get to speak to nearly all of the biggest names in our industry, with most of them wanting to promote.
So after such a positive response we are now finally getting geared up ready for the big launch. Its just around the corner on Jan 12th and our pre launch phase starts tomorrow! (Jan 5th)
This is where YOU can get involved and make sure your 2010 starts with a bang too by benefiting from the buzz that Easy Video Player has already created!

Awesome Josh! You have come so far over the last couple months. I am happy that I basically had the opportunity to beta test this product. Even with most of the features stripped out in my beta version, it was still the best marketing tool in my arsenal! Now with all the buy-now buttons and opt-in options, it’s so much better.
I can’t wait for the launch of this product because it’s a product that I use and love and I know others will use it and love it too!
Good luck with the launch! 2010 is going to be amazing!

Hi Josh.
I’ve been working hard to spread the good news to everyone I think EasyVideoPlayer could help. I’m having fun in this process as well.
One question. Is it possible to ad pre-op capabilities to the landing page. So I can build my own list and then send the visitors further to EVP capture page with the optin form pre-filled?
Wish you a great success

I think it’s a cool piece of software that will allow you to capture names and email adds to build your list no matter what you’re promoting or where your promoting. I own a copy and LOVE it!
Best of luck!

Thank you for the ooportunity to see your new video product. I hope to be able to promote it widely as I agree 100% with the other guys – its an awesome asset to our IM bag.
Papamoa, eh mate. Wonderful. How’s the surf?? I hope you’re enjoying the summer
Last year I took some American friends around the south island. All too soon we had to leave, as for now I’m offshore. But it’s great to be in contact with a fellow Kiwi.
You’ve earned a wonderful 2010. Enjoy it!

P.S. I suggest you edit the install video to highlight where on CPanel it reveals what version of PHP and SQL you have. ie bottom left under Account Information Program Versions.
Hey Josh,
Belated Happy New Year to you, right now I am not sure if you are awake asleep or celebrating the success of your launch for EVP!
I expect the latter, cause it was an amazing product you have created for the IM niche and will truly set you up to one of theleading and recognised IM’er!
Awesome Josh,
Cheers
Sean
