I have a trivia and English test plugin. I am not sure if I should make it into 2 types. 1 could be regular and come with 20 question's the buyer would have to insert the questions. the 2nd could be deluxe and come with at least 100 pre coded questions. What price point should I set it at to make it available for all cc script owners? Is this something that is needed for program owners?
Not available until next weekend so I can't show you the demo sorry.
If the deluxe came with 200 questions how much should I charge?
The page is great for affiliate programs that PO's can't put in ptc's or paid mail.
Thanks,
Alicia

Well, as some of my webmaster friends can tell you, I am a plugin junkie.

But unless the plugin offers me some sort of "can't live without it" functionality, I prefer to stay in the $10-15 range.
A trivia plugin sounds great. I love anything that will give my members something to do and automates things for me.

Yes that is what I was thinking so that more Po's could afford it.
I forgot to mention that the po places 2 or more prizes for members to chose from.
and the date contest ends on.
the way the page looks is ...
they place their name in box #1
email addy in box #2
user name in box #3
Then the question is in a drop down menu named fun factsalong with the choices
for the answer. Member are only allowed to pick and submit 1 answer and those that go back to submit again the po can manually debit account .10 - .50 or what ever they wish.
box #4 is for today date
Box #5 they place the prize they want if they should win from the choices the po gave. some prize that won't cost the site to much. points mail or banner impressions ,front page links, top or bottom sponsors Or even a small cash prize
box #6 is for the member to type the answer in as a safe gaurd in case they accidently seleted cheat link or I don't read english.
When their entry goes to your inbox their answer is on the outside so there is no need to open email unless they have seleted cheat link or I dont read english.
for the members that select cheat link or I don't read english mark their account and watch them a lil bit more closer.
a Po could even sell banner ads to trivia sponsors for that weeks trivia game and place it at the top of the page.

With all due respect, I believe this thread belongs in the scripts advertising forum.
Competition is heating up for plugins and I think it only fair to ALL plugin writers that we have an even playing field - it's one thing if someone else posts here about our plugins but I think we, as a group, should agree not to post such announcements (or questions) here. (Why exclude questions too, you ask? Because as the WebmasterWorld forum states, "We can't be sure if such posts are promotional or not so it's better to eliminate the ambiguity entirely".)
I have purposely refrained from mentioning ANYTHING about my own plugins in this folder, for this very reason.

I totally agree with you TheBlueEyz with what you said, including the last line, oh yes, you have purposely refrained from mentioning ANYTHING about your own plugins in this folder, because you have other people to mention it for you:
http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...90206&hl=geniusI can summarize the above link with: hey po's patrick will open a site for plugins soon, so do not buy anything from the laready existing one, cause patrick's plugins will be better (in the poster's own opinion) I realyy do not know if they are better or not, and I do not need anyone to tell me if somebody's stuff are better or not, I can know my own, if i was not able, I can know whom to ask..
anyway
members of this forum, specially po's are more aware about spam acts, and more careful not to spam the old way, we have geniuses in our midst in coming up with new spam ideas
for Alicia, $10-$15 so po's can afford it, I do not think this is a good method to price a plug-in, it depends, is this plug-in going to help the po to make more income, how much work is in the plug-in, how much did it cost, what about the service after selling, support, updaes, all these things will cost too, ok, anybody can sell 1000 plug-ins for $5 each and make more money than selling the same plugin for $25 for 100, but IMO having 100 happy po's is better than having 1000 angry customers

good luck

Jul 12 2004, 05:51 AM
excuse me, ismahs. i had every right to make that post about patrick's work. now that i have become an affiliate of his site, i shall not be doing so in the future. at the time of the post you mentioned, his site was not even online yet. he has done alot of custom programming for us, and i believe i'm allowed to give praise where praise is due.
i find it odd that site owners are allowed to praise and recommend various plugins and programmers, but if i do so ... it's not ok. i believe dana must have encouraged everyone to buy the cheat report by email over a dozen times, and that's ok because she wasn't promoting her own work.
i agree that the competition amongst the creators of plugins is rising everyday. more and more are coming out, and more people are opening sites devoted to selling their plugins. pushing one's own plugin in the program owner's folder is spam of the worst kind because we are the specific target audience.
considering the rapid increase of plugin sites, it is no longer appropriate for plugin creators to make announcements in this folder. it seemed ok at first because there were so few. but, that time has passed. anyone who wishes to announce their own plugin, should do so in the advertising folder from now on. i'm sure a mod will correct me if i'm wrong.

I am not sure if you posted in the wrong folder or not, I think it is the mods who willdecide, and they will act accordingly, not me or you or anybody else, what is wrong is to do something and when somebody else do the same thing in different way, you try to stop them! I encourage all who has a nice plug-in idea to make it and let us know about it, it is sharing info, isn't it? I may purchase it for my site too, and I know not all plug-ins writers have websites...

Ismahs, I believe the precise wording of my post was
| QUOTE |
| it's one thing if someone else posts here about our plugins but I think we, as a group, should agree not to post such announcements (or questions) here. |
I believe a great deal has been said about the cheat plugin, and there is alot of discussion about the Mailtime one. I will not for one second try to tell PO's not to talk about those things. I am simply saying that in order to avoid any bias and any suggestion of 'self promotion', that the script writers themselves should not announce or ask about their own plugins in the PO forum.
It is totally different to ask that question here, in the advertising forum, or through a PM or an email. I realize it is much easier to ask these questions in the PO forum, because you target your question to the group that needs to answer it, and frankly my life would be much easier if I could do this, but I much prefer to be above reproach and above such questions of bias and self promotion.
Alicia, please don't feel badly about your post, not at all, it sounds like an excellent plugin and I can't wait to see it. I just wanted to speak for all plugin owners, in addition to myself, in requesting that script announcements be kept out of the private PO folder.

again I agree with you Patrick, we as a group, should not post announcements there, it is for general information, including discussions about plug-ins, and Alicia's post was more like a discussion, and asking for an opinion, than a promotional post, besides, still she is not a member of such "group" cause still there is no product, and it is normal to ask for opinion from those who are most interested in plug-ins, whom are po's, before relasing a plug-in.. I have not posted there, except once asking for information about copy rights, and did not have a link even in my signature to play on the "law" or rules..
while the "genius" post was pure promotional, if I am wrong, somebody please correct me, I am not sure if it is allowed to quote from po's private forum, and I am too lazy to check the rules at this early hour in morning here.. but that post, in general says:
"a genius, he did, he made, he will make, he will open a site, the site will offer so and so and so... i can't wait... i am so excited..." is this a plug-in discussion? I see no discussion about anything, it is pure promotional, and talking about that it was old, as if there were no plug-ins provider when it was posted, is not accurate.. I know teddy was there, and another site i forgot its name, beside my site, so there were 3.. and it did not bother me at that time or after, what bothers me, is when somebody else wants to ask for opinions, she will get such reply, what means: "please, let us not advertise here, there is a folder for advertising?!!!!" depsite she did not say a genius plug-in, a great plug-in, it will do and do and do wooooooohoooooo... there were sentences like ..." I am not sure if I should make it into 2 types." and others, it is clear that there is no product to promote yet.. it is asking for opinions, asking for pricing suggestions,,,
anyway, welcome to the "group" Alicia, if you need any help, just pm me!

what? i've posted compliments about other plugins before. what do you mean by "old"? i am allowed to praise others for their work. didn't you see all the ranting and raving about the cheat report? you didn't accuse those w/m's of promoting. you may call it promotion if you wish, but i had nothing to gain at the time. as i said before, i've now joined patrick's affiliate program and will no longer post about his work unless someone has questions i can answer. do you think he contacted me and forced me to spam the po's folder?
patrick programmed our entire resellers site, so i've seen the quality of his work. i simply wanted others to know about it. this forum is full of complaints, bashing, and accusations. what's wrong with praise?
if you feel my post was spam, please report it to the mods. i would be more than willing to remove it. however, i would also expect every other post recommending a plugin or programmer's services to be removed as well.

yes, i thought so, logic says so, otherwise why it is private forum if it is allowed to quote from there in public folders...

i did not quote, i just gave a general idea, since this was moved from po's private forum, to here, and i found it is necessary to reply to previous posts added to this thread when it was in po's private forum..

LoL this thread is still alive. Is it against the rules for me to start a new thread to sell the plug in?
1. The main reason I did not see this as spam is because I did not place a link as the person did in the other thread.
As I stated I know nothing about programing but I did want to keep it quiet until it was ready that was my main reason for posting in the PO folder because it is privite. At first I was having it made just for my site use so that my site would be more unique. but I know we all have members who love trivia and all of us need to bring in extra revenue. BOY O BOY I think this will do the trick and pay for
it's self within 1 month if you set your trivia sponsored link price's right.
Demouser advertiser pass advertiser
Give a sweet treat to your members they will thank you for it.
Tell your trivia sponsors share my space they to will thank you for it.
$20 special deal reg. price will be $25
All copy rights belong to K. Dixon and Alicia Eggleston
paypal/SP/MB advertising@gridlocktrafficexchange.com
EG 945442
buy before Sunday 7/18/04 and get a lifetime banner on GTEXC
The window that look's like a sas window is
not included but I will tell you were to find it free because it is not mine to sell. Just think of all the sponsors that will want that space on your site. the drop down window holds as many spots as you want to include. you can set it to have the sponsor pop out after they hit go or leave it like a tv changing channel's.
The weekly sponsor box is at the bottom you could even give them away as a prize or offer as a redemption.
once again I am sorry to have posted in the wrong folder and have gone back to reread the rules for updates. TY
I have an great Idea for a new search plugin (STAR SEARCH) coming soon
AS soon as I find someone to write it lol Since the person who can help me is leaving for a vacation to visit family this weekend.

Hi Patrick....I will PM you as I still have other stuff I want..
I am very interested in the trivia and any other plug ins to buy..
I dont know if any of you ever were in the "old" freeride ?? or the "old" memolink?? or the "old" milesource or "old" troca??
while they didnt last for the most part, or didnt pay...they did have some awesome programming

I think that the plug ins are really great and also can make these sites more "fun" and more interactive...
