Q & A on Design Dashboard

Here are some questions you may have about the
Design Dashboard and the answers:

QUESTION ONE: Is this just for designing web sites? Or can
it help me (or my assistant) do graphics for blogs,
landing pages, affiliate pre-sell pages, ebook covers and
Power Point presentations?

ANSWER: It’ll help you with anything you need to do
graphics for. Even if you outsource, it’s GREAT to be able
to whip something out in a hurry when you don’t have time
to wait.

QUESTION TWO: Is this something I can REALLY do without
sweating bullets and going through the learning curve from
down below?

ANSWER: ONLY if you have “The Design Dashboard.” If you
don’t, yeah, it’s gonna be a real pain. But with the
Design Dashboard, you have step-by-step screen caps that
make doing things a breeze. Plus, video where needed.

QUESTION THREE: Why would I need this if I use templates?

ANSWER: 1. A blog header with graphics looks better than a
plain one. You have the chance to do a little branding.

2. Templates for Power Point are just backgrounds. What
about graphics that illustrate your point?

3. If you buy the SAME templates from the same places
everyone else does, will YOU break through the noise?

4. With just a little skill and the right software, you
can create some GREAT graphics for affiliate pre-sell
pages.

5. There ARE programs that create ebook covers but they
don’t do the GRAPHICS FOR the covers in most cases. The
Design Dashboard serves many purposes.

QUESTION FOUR: How much is the software gonna ding me for?

ANSWER: $100 or less for the graphics software. If you
want to add flash audio buttons to your site, you can
spend $27 to $100 for that software, but SAVE $20 a month
vs. what most people do.

In other words, if you do just ONE graphic header in 2007
yourself instead of outsourcing it, you paid for it.

QUESTION FIVE: Why learn to do design when I can outsource
it?

ANSWER: 1. You may not get the special treatment and same
quality that “gurus” receive.

2. Talented designers sometimes get booked up for weeks.
What if you need it sooner rather than later?

3. Once you see how easy it is to do graphics, you’ll
probably find yourself doing at least SOME stuff yourself
when you’re in a hurry.

4. Outsourcing is great. But you may want to only
outsource when you need that special touch and do
bread-and-butter stuff yourself.

5. You can have your ASSISTANT use the Design Dashboard
and do stuff for you. It can be your training tool for
THEM.

QUESTION SIX: What will the Design Dashboard do for me?

ANSWER: 1. You can design GRAPHICS for blogs, landing
pages, affiliate pre-sell pages, ebook covers, power
points.

2. Above and beyond that, there are step-by-step
instructions for your sales letter (if you need one), ftp,
shopping cart and other stuff. This is ONLY for the people
who need it. You can use all the design part even if you
don’t need THOSE things. But it’s nice to know they’re
there if you need them.

3. You will save money.

Other programs use software that isn’t mainstream and may
not keep up with the times. Plus, you can’t buy any books
on it at the bookstore. Or they use Photoshop CS which is
$650 or $750 USD. Then, for html, they use Dreamweaver,
which sets you back more. I could go on and on. I’ve
stripped out every possible cost.

4. You will save time

I know you have 1,000 things to do. Even watching videos
takes TIME. That’s why I’ve used as many screen caps as I
can. Learning from them is faster than video. But I’ve
used video where it made learning faster.

5. You will avoid a painful, full-blown learning curve

The worse thing about software is the learning curve. I’ve
taken out the learning curve and JUST given you the steps
you need to know.

QUESTION SEVEN:
What is the difference between the Design Dashboard and the
Marketing Dashboard?

ANSWER: One is for design. The other is for marketing.
