Before we start writing our sales post, we have to upload and configure our 7 dollar scripts to our blog’s server first. Though we have only edited 2 of the html files, when uploading, it is best that we upload all the files, including all those that we did not touch.
Before anything else, get ready all your images that you plan to use. These will include the images of the ecovers if you so desire and of course the header images. Next you have to zip up the ebook or whatever files that you plan to sell.
With all these ready, create a new folder in your desktop. Name it something appropriate, most likely the name of the product you are selling. For this example let’s name the folder, MyProduct. Inside that folder, create another 3 folders. Name one as ‘images’. The next one is the template folder, give it a name that is hard to guess by others. The last one is the one that holds your product. Also give it a names that is difficult to guess.
Now you have the main folder (named MyProduct) with 3 sub-folders inside. Open your 7 dollar script folder. Copy the 4 php files namely, the ipn php, settings php, config php and settings php. Paste them into your the Product folder along side the 3 sub-folders.
Next open the template folder in your seven dollar script. Copy all the text files and html files EXCEPT the download html and squeeze html. Paste all those files into the templates folder you have created inside the MyProduct folder. Now copy the 2 html files that you have edited earlier on, that is the squeeze html and the download html and paste them into the same template folder.
Lastly, open the download template in your main folder. Insert the zipped file of your product into that folder. The final result should look like the ones below.
The MyProduct folder
The Template folder
The Download folder.
Now that we have everything ready, you are ready to upload the entire folder to your blog’s server, but before you do that, check the links in the squeeze page and the download page again. In a lot of cases, when we edit a html template in visual mode, the links gets screwed up when we safe it back to html.
To do that, do not use Notepad. Instead use Notepad++ which acn be downloaded for free here After installing, just right click on the html file and choose the “open with notepad++” option.
Make sure the link in the squeeze page looks like this
<a href="index.php?action=download">
And the link in the download page look like this
<a href="<?= sys_download_url(0) ?>">
While there. do also check the image link that you have used for your header images or whatever ecover images that you might have used. it should only be like this:
images/yourimagename.jpg
If you see anything else, delete it until it looks like the above.
Log in to your cPanel with whatever FTP client that you are using. Go tp public_html. Locate your blog’s folder and open it. Inside you will see all your WordPress files. You can now either upload the entire MyProduct folder there or you can click on an empty area and create a new directory. Name it MyProduct or whatever is suitable. Then upload all the files inside your MyProduct folder into that new folder that you have created. Remember, if you do it this way, you must not upload the whole folder, only whatever is inside. After all the files are uploaded, set the file permission for the settings php to 777.
You are now ready to configure your script. Go to your blog and at the address bar access the configuration utility by typing in:
yourdomain/name-of-your-folder/config.php
where name of your folder is the folder that you have uploaded the scripts.
The configuration window will open. Follow the instructions in the image below to configure your script. Click to enlarge. Only those that have instructions in red needs to be changed.
After configuration, follow instructions to set file permissions and delete config php in your server.
With that done, you are now ready post your sales pitch.
