I just qualified and I`m thinking about getting my website going. Now I`m anything else then a computer geek so I was wondering if the website is easy to handle:blushing:
 
It is. HO provides "scripts" that you can select with no work at all, really. Just remember to update things at least once a month to give people a reason to come back.
 
It is very simple to use. There are only like 4 steps to getting the whole thing set up the way you want it. Of course, it has a default, so even if you do nothing it will look fine.
 
Thanks. I just qualified and was going to ask the same question.
 
OMG, it is soooo easy and sooooo worth it! I have got so much business from mine lately! It has made the difference in 2 of my shows that made them 1000 dollar shows! It is soooo good! I say dooooo it! :D :balloon:
 
I just qualified a couple weeks ago and got an email about 90 days free for the PWS so I figured I had nothing to lose by trying it out. It was VERY easy to set up. There's lots of 'canned' messages and templates which was good cuz my brain's not been very creative lately. LOL... I was up and running within a few minutes. I then set up my email-ready customers (some of my customers don't even own computers so I only added those that do and have given me their email addy) and sent out a "come check out my new web site" email right from my PWS thingy too! It was really easy.

I also did get it and it was sooooooo easy I love it.
If I can do it everybody can :)
 
Yes, for those who get the 90 days free...nothing to lose!
 
I also set mine up, But i am having problems with printing labels.. it said i need avery 5160, which i ran out and purchased, but then it only printed the 1st two lines and the bottome 2 lines correctly, i had to ditch the middel ones because they were not lined up. any suggestions?
 
I just qualified too and was wondering if everyone gets 90 days free. When would I get an email? I want to get the website, but if I am going to get 90 days free then I guess I will wait for that. Thanks.
