I am very excited that InstanteStore v4 is finally going to be launched soon! Our team has toiled literally for months working overtime getting v4 ready. I am very sure you will be excited as I am when you see what we’ve included in InstanteStore v4.

Watch the first installment of our trailer below to find out more. Look out for the second installment of our trailer tomorrow at noon EST.

Well, we listened.

Gone is the menu where you had to hover and search through all the menus trying to look for that elusive function that you could have sworn was there. The new panel lays out ALL InstanteStore functionality in one easy-to-find page. So, you’ll always be able to find and use all the features we’ve included.

Store Summary - See Most Important Metrics In One Glance

The store summary at the top of the panel gives you a quick look at your store’s important metrics. Now, you can know how many orders you got as soon as you logged into your control panel.

Funky Colors Galore - Have We Gone Crazy With The Admin Panel Background Color?

Are you wondering what the funky colors shown signify? Have we gone the path of multimedia software and allow you to customize the color of your background (ala skins)? Or do the colors mean something? Does each person get a different color background or what?

Well, you’ll have to wait for v4’s launch for the answer to this

Low Stock Notification Great If You Sell Physical Products

Now, you’ll know at once when any product in your store is low in stock. The best thing? You can set what signifies “low in stock” for your store. This way, you can always take pro-active action and re-order any low-stock products before they actually run out of stock.

After speaking to quite a number of you guys who use our inventory control system, I know this one feature will literally save you hours each week checking your stock level.

Never Miss Another Message Again

Rather than mess around with all the e-mail spam filters, you can see all the messages that we post to you in the “News & Announcements” section. This section will show you personal messages that we post to you. My main aim with v4 is to help you get more visitors and make you more profitable. So, if we find a particular opportunity or marketing tip that’ll fit in exceptionally well with your store, we can drop you a personal message via this section.

You will NOT find the typical bland “announcements” here. We’ll only contact you when there is a significant opportunity to greatly increase your store profits (or when there’s something important like us not being able to bill your credit card ). We’ve purchased a few tools and software that I think will give you an unfair advantage over other merchants. So, look out for this in the “News & Announcements” section soon.

All I can say is that what you’ve seen so far is literally just the skin-deep. v4 has plenty of other exciting stuff. Look out for the next trailer at noon EST 9th September!

Hi, guys. Just finished the next installment of the search engine optimization series. This 45 minute video touches on the off-page factors of SEO. You’ll learn how to get incoming links from high PageRank pages without spending any money. I also cover the different software that will help you do that faster and easier.

If you watched my previous video, you’ll know that off-page factors will greatly affect how your site ranks on the search engines. So, this is the real meat and potatoes of SEO. You absolutely need to get this right if you want to rank high on the search engines. After watching this 45 minute video, you’ll be on your way to increasing your PageRank value and also getting some free search engine traffic.

It’s a proven fact that people who just bought from you are most likely to buy from you again. So, it makes sense to try and sell more stuff to someone who’s just bought from you. You may not realize it but one of the most valuable pages in your entire ecommerce store is your final payment thank you page. Almost every single one of your customers will look at that page to confirm that the order was made properly. And the fact that they just purchased something from you means that they trust you to a certain degree.

So, why do most small online stores just serve up the standard “Thank You, Your Order Was Processed Successfully” pages? It just doesn’t make much sense, does it?

Now, you can easily put in a “special time-limited offer” on your InstanteStore’s final payment thank you page. Your store will look at the products purchased by the customer and then recommend further products that complement what they’ve just bought. That by itself will get you an extra 10-15% in extra profit without any effort.

However, to make things more interesting and the offer more compelling, you can offer a discount on the products you’re recommending. And to top it off, you can limit the offer so that it’s only available for a set time period (eg. 10 minutes).

So, when someone buys something from you, they’ll see a countdown clock with an offer to get these other recommended items at X% off normal price. What’s even better, purchasing these additional recommended products is very easy since they do NOT need to re-enter their shipping & payment information. So, they can literally add the products in just a few clicks.

What does this mean to you?

Increased profits without any extra effort!

So, rather than someone just spending $100 at your store, they may spend $150, $200 or even $300. The best thing is that you do NOT need to increase your traffic levels to get this pay raise. You do not need to work on any search engine optimization or spend any extra money on pay-per-click campaigns. If you’re currently getting orders at your store right now, then I think it’ll be pretty silly not to take advantage of this powerful cross-sell module.

Check out the videos that Terry has created to demonstrate this. I don’t know what you think but I think this is pretty darn cool…
