Armand Morin’s Popover Generator Review

So this is where you start to reclaim what popup blockers have taken from your Internet business, but first you need to understand how and why this works before I get on to showing you how to work it.

First you have to understand that popups and popovers are completely different pieces of technology. Popups use HTML coding which means that when they open, they are effectively a completely different webpage altogether. That’s how popup blockers stop them and that’s why your popups currently don’t seem to have any effect, remember the stats on the previous post?…

Popovers Use JavaScript which is completely different and is usually part of the current page. Normally you don’t see or hear about JavaScript, Which is fare enough, not many people know what it is or understand it. I don’t fully understand it myself, but I know it’s usually a part of a website somewhere, the most visual of these being flash banners and applications. Since it’s part of the website and not a new window of HTML code, popup blockers don’t read or understand this.

That’s why it’s so effective and practically guarantees that every visitor to your website sees your “Popup”. Now your “popup” is shown inside your site and isn’t external.

This is a brief excerpt from the user manual-

“Fact #1: Popovers as Pop ups dramatically increase response to ‘opt ins’ and other Internet offers. Your business may be profiting from them right now.

Fact #2: Many major Internet service providers, like AOL, Earthlink, and Netscape, representing millions of your  prospects and customers, are making it as easy as flipping a light switch to permanently turn off all ‘pop ups’ – including your ads! But they cannot do anything with your PopOves!

Facts #3: With the mass blocking of pop ups by the major Internet service providers, many Internet businesses will suffer greatly reduced sales and possibly even go out of business…So Rely on PopOvers which is the Next Generation of Popups.”

Hopefully that should be crystal clear by now, and I bet you’re well interested. Now you will be amazed at how simple it is to use. Once again The best part is it’s essentially all done for you. Like focus generator you can install it to your website with a click of a button at the end of the process.

As you can see from the first screen that appears when you open the program, you can also add any of the templates you’ve created previously to a new website or another one. This is really handy when your “Testing The Waters” because you can create a few variations of the popover you want and very quickly and easily switch them around.

Due to the JavaScript nature of these popovers, they are quite malleable things. The appearance and effects are all changeable. With the other options like the drop in box it can stimulate a very high response rate. Since people naturally read downwards, when this box flies down from the top of the screen, it guarantees it’ll be looked at.. All you need to do is put the right offer in there!

This is probably the most technical bit of it all, it’s still simple but it requires a bit of understanding and testing, because this section dictates where it’s going to appear on your page and how big it’s going to be. What’s great is from hear on out there’s video help for each of the steps and for which ever type of popover you choose to use.

It uses pixels to position itself on your page. The standard ones that are there are pretty spot on but of course everyone’s site differs. What I used to do was put in what I thought was correct then fast track the rest of the steps so I could preview it. Then you just go back and work from there till you get the desired positioning and size.

Now you’ve chosen what you want, and how you want your popover to appear, now is where you make or break it. The content area is what your going to put in your popover, be it an optin box, a free offer, or a link to an affiliate site. Whatever it is make it good, otherwise your “Popup” popover will be ineffective. Once again theres video help on hand if your unsure of the interface, but it’s a pretty straightforward WYSIWYG editor, just like word.

You can bold, italic and underline it, you can also mess around with fonts sizes and colours to get it to look right. This is also the field where you put any HTML code. So that means you can throw an opt-in box in there to grab peoples email addresses, and best of all, you know it wont get blocked and people will see your offer!

This is like the final appearance settings and colours, now you’ve done the size, positioning and content you just need to pick all the background colours, text colours and font. You can also change what it says in the title bar. This basically allows you to blend it with your page and compliment your site, or you can make it really stand out, depends what your after or promoting.

The next bit is simple as well and is something you probably wouldn’t think about unless this software suggested it, especially since it doesn’t function like a normal popup. You can set up a delay period, make the popover draggable, resizeable. It can either stay on the page the whole time or the user can close it. You can also have it put a cookie in the users browser that means it wont popup if they’ve closed it previously. This helps in the general annoyance department

It’s generally about making it friendly for the end user, and it allows you to take out the annoyance factor of popups. Some people will realise and genuinely appreciate this, thus developing more trust and confidence in them since you won’t be outright selling to them.

This is where you get to preview and make the final changes to your popover, it’s worth naming it something related to what you intend to promote with it since you can very quickly loose track of what you’ve made or need to make.

Once you hit next, your done, you just need to add the page where you want the popover to show up on and then it’s done!

You now have your Popover and never have to worry whether your customers see your “popup” or not again. It’s guaranteed. This can push your sales through the roof when used correctly

Armand Morins Popover Generator Review

The next piece of software I’m going to be covering is something you’ve most likely already seen on websites and sales letters without even noticing it, it’s that effective.

The piece of software I’m about to introduce to you is really amazing and probably the best of it’s type out there in terms of usability, effectiveness and end results.

It’s called popover generator, this is another way to beat the popup blockers that everyone is using. Think of it as a more advanced version of Focus generator, and when used correctly it’s possibly the most powerful of all sales tools out there.

That said, it can also break your site if not used correctly or used in a very “spammy” manner.

Here are a few stats to take into account. This will also help if you are currently wondering why your popups are ineffective or showing no results:

Bare in mind this is only a few of the companies offering popup blockers….

• Earthlink’s popup blocker software has 4,989,000 Subscribers
• AOL’s Popup Blocker Software that came with computers when new has around 35,203,000 Subscribers
• Last Month around 84,000 people searched for popup blockers

Okay, so that’s 40,000,000 odd people who currently can’t see your popups and opt-in pages.

You can understand why people want and use popup blockers so much, because a lot malicious and careless people have exploited pop ups to the extent where they really annoy us or download rubbish and viruses on to your computer.

A lot of them have these horrific spammy flashing offers as well which irritate further..

As you can probably tell by my last couple of paragraphs, popups really get me as well…

So unfortunately that’s had a terrible knock on effect to us marketers who are offering genuine products and helpful information via these popups.

Popover generator uses JavaScript again and a lot of HTML  to get around these Popup blockers, along with some further complex software algorithms which I can’t begin to understand. All I know is it works and it works incredibly well.

You will see it in action in my next review, prepare yourself because theres a lot to cover!

I may even do it in two parts…

Armand Morin’s eCover Generator Review final Part And Thoughts…

eCover Generator is a truly fantastic bit of software that can really save your business a lot of money in the long run and benefit you for life as you create more and more products. This way you don’t have to ever worry about hiring graphics designers again.

It can also make you money as well since it will give confidence to buyers that they  can see what they are about to buy. To Top it all off it gives off a professional clean image to your site. It compliments it greatly.

Alternatively, if your an eBook store owner this will give consistency to the images on your website.

This is probably the people it will benefit most. I highly recommend it.

Don’t forget the limited time special offer of the 360 templates, this is all the more reason to get it now( I don’t know whether this still applies at the time your reading this)

Armand Morins eCover Generator Review Part 2

I JUST FOUND OUT that for a very limited time Armand is offer 360 or so free templates with eCover Generator, This would of helped me loads when I started, go here to find out more on that now…

On to the rest of the review though, in this part I’m going to show you the software in use.

The layout is once again very basic and simple to use, it’s step by step and point and click easy. Anyone could use this very effectively. It also cuts out the cost of the cover designer for your products (it wouldn’t surprise me if they were using this behind the scenes!)

Something you’ll notice straight away is it does a little bit more than just ebook covers..

This is where it all starts, you’ve got your template selection to the left (standard) and a little drop down box to choose what it is you want to make. Right now it looks a bit ugly but this is just the start, you only start to see the real effect in the final part when your choosing how you want it to look and you get to mess with angles, lighting etc.

Heres the selection then:

As you can see this covers a bit more than your standard ebook covers. This vast range of options makes it an invaluable tool when promoting all sorts of information products. You can see what I mean about the images now.

Even if your course or product is entirely online or download only, These give a great “tangible” impression of what they may actually look like if they were physical products. This really does help people justify their purchase, especially if they want to discuss it with others or family first. You can just see them saying “have a look at what I’m going to get…”.

On to the next step of your eCover Generation Process !

Now you’ve selected the type of cover you want, now you just need to put pictures in or text to show us what it  actually is. The only drawback is you get quite a basic text and image editor. You still get to mess around with sizes, fonts and shadows. It’s the same with the pictures. It’s very basic stuff.

I’ve never really found a need for much more advanced features though. But if you use it as much as I did, you might just get that little bug “if only I could do this..or make this look a little different”. This is extreme fussiness though, I don’t suspect you’ll ever have that.

It just feels good to know that when you finish, no matter what it is, it’s going to look good.

This is basically the same as step 2, except now you’re doing the spine of the box or book. This is dependent on what you chose initially, if you picked a Cd cover or Special report you normally skip this part and go straight on to the best bit…making the final image!

This is how you make the covers look good and professional. What you’ll find now, once you get to this stage, is that the window to the left is 3D view of your creation. Now you have complete manipulation to do whatever, you can change the shadow, the lighting angle, the angle of the box, shadow intensity. You can zoom in and out to whatever distance you think looks good. One of the best little bits I found was the background color. Say your sales page is a blue of some description. If you grab the HTML code numbers for it you can put them in here. This means that the book will stand out and blend seamlessly with your web page.

Once you’re happy with how everything looks, say you got the angle right the shadow and lighting is perfect all you have to do now is click “smooth edges” This then creates a final anti-aliased, high-quality picture.

For those of you familiar with 3d design programs such as Light wave and 3ds max this smooth edges button is essentially the same as the render image button.

Once that’s done you save image! There’s your new e Cover. Very Simple and effective.

I’ll be posting the conclusion and final thoughts over the next couple of days so stay sharp

eCover Generator Review-Virtual Cover Generator Software

ECover Generator Was Probably one of my most valued pieces of software when I started online a few years back. I used to have an eBook store and a lot of the eBooks I was selling either had no cover or a really rubbish cover that just looked quite naff when pictured on the website.

Some people really pay attention to the cover of a book, even an intangible one such as an eBook. They know a physical one doesn’t exist but it gives them piece of mind and clarity of what they are about to buy when they see a book cover, be it a real physical product or an intangible downloadable product.

On the other hand there’s a greater population that really don’t care for the cover at all and just want the information, which is all good and well. I mean after all that’s why we buy books in the first place isn’t it?.

But if you have a book cover in your sales pitch that looks like something done in paint or a sprite akin to those we see in the really old-skool games, it hits them on a subconscious level.  If your charging upwards of $40 for a product and the only visual clue is one of these dodgy images, people are going to start to steer away from your eBook.

ECover generator is pretty much the same as all the other pieces of Armand’s Software I’ve shown to you so far on a fundamentally basic level. It’s a simple step by step process that gives a fantastic result at the end of it.

The other reason it’s so good and effective is due to the fact it uses real-time 3d graphics to render the ECover image your after giving a fantastic finish and unparalleled ability to manipulate the image with ease.. More On That In The Next part.

Armand Morin’s Focus Generator Review Conclusion

Focus generator is an incredibly powerful and effectively simple tool that can completely transform your site when done right. Whether you buy it to help your business or you just want to add a cool “post-it note” affect to your site, your going to win both ways.

This was primarily built as a business tool, and it does that very well. When implemented correctly it can vastly improve the appearance and business conducted through your website. With some tuning and testing this can benefit you very quickly.

Don’t forget it’s also built to get around pop-up blockers. As I’m sure your aware by now if you have some form of popup on your website with a further business promotion or free offer. This isn’t getting through to everyone checking out your site. If you swap those popups out for this, you should notice an increase in business pretty quickly, maybe even by the end of the day if you have alot of traffic going to your site.

Taking into account the paragraph above, for people just starting out, I highly doubt you’ll need this at the moment, but it’s well worth keep track of for future reference when you finally have got it all together.

So my verdict? I really think it’s an incredibly brilliant, effective and well designed tool that really will benefit your website significantly. It’s one of those things though that only makes sense to buy if your making sales pages quite often.

However if your looking to implement it on a current site and plan for future use aswell, it’s well worth a buy due to the fact that in the long run it’s cheaper and it’s quick and easy to use than bothering with a coder or outsourcing the work.

Armand Morins Focus Generator Review Part 2

Now you’ve seen how Focus Generator Works it’s magic, and how cool it’s going to look on your site I bet your thinking it’s going to be really complicated to use!

How very far from that it is! It’s incredibly easy and “pleasant” to use.

I know pleasant seems like a strange word, but I guess that what I mean by that is the presentation of the software is top notch. It’s well set out, easy to understand, looks good and guides you step-by step through what to do. This is exactly what you want. This is why I like all of Armand’s Software so much.

It makes the little things that seem hard, incredibly easy and intuitive, and it helps you implement something that’d you’d normally pay a lot of money for a coder to do.

So this is how it looks then when you first open it, you’ll see what I mean about presentation straightaway

As you can see it’s very fresh, modern and laid out well, there is a great selection of design templates at hand for you to use straightaway, you see what I mean about the graphics?. They don’t look like a window or anything like that.  It’s all a part of the site, and this is why it converts so well.

There’s also the option to load a previous project so you can modify or edit that really easily and put it straight back up.

Once again you can see what I mean by the layout, it looks fantastic and is really easy to use. You have all manner of fonts at your disposal so you can get any style of writing you can imagine. This is great because you can make your message look more personal and friendly with a simple hand writing effect. You can bold underline and italic the words just like you can in MS Word. You can basicly get any effect you can imagine.

You’ve also got complete manipulation of your message too, You can rotate it to any angle you desire or move it anywhere on the “focus” note. This allows you to either have it perfectly on the lines or you can go for that personal effect again by having it a little bit imperfect.

There is also the option to include a little close button if you want, or you can set it to automatically close after a certain time period in the next step…

This is where coding would of gotten really tricky if you were to try and do this all yourself. I hope your beginning to see now how truly powerful this little tool is. This is where you choose to make it linkable, the positioning, the time its up and generally how its going to function.

In order to sort out all these variables it would normally take someone with some pretty significant html knowledge and a couple of days to arrange this.

It also takes into account the little things such as the browser cookie to stop it opening again, and whether to open in a new window or not (Personally I recommend same window).

This option may seem a little odd, considering the whole idea is to block popups, but it’s there for a reason. It will still get around popup blockers because of the JavaScript language it’s written in, but if people have their security set REALLY high, there is a small chance it wont get through.

Like I said at the start this is one of those options for people with high traffic and making many sales a day. It’s  all about the testing. In certain circumstances there’s a chance it may improve sales.

This is the cherry on the top for this piece of software. NOW IT’LL DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU!

Now you’ve made your note, it’ll automatically put it on whatever page you choose it to. You just select the file in the “auto-modify” section and it does everything else for you. It creates the necessary files, integrates the code into you webpage, all you have to do now is put it online!

You can also see what it looks like if you so choose to by clicking the preview button.

Alternatively you can save it manually and put it in yourself; I only recommend this for someone a bit more advanced. As long as you know a little about HTML coding you’ll probably be all right doing this or if you have the expertise to edit it further, go ahead!.

I’ve not really seen much point in using the manual bit though if it can all be done for you!

Armand Morin’s Focus Generator Review Introduction-Part 1

Intrigued by Focus Generator? I hope you are, it could be incredibly beneficial to you!

The first thing that caught my attention when I first looked at it was the name, it really is an unusual name that initially spawns all sorts of ideas in your mind till you eventually end up at the inevitable conclusion, I still don’t have a clue what you’re on about…At which point you visit the site and it all becomes clear!

First Things First though, to save a bit of your time if your still starting out online or don’t have any products to sell, this might not be for you at the moment. This is a piece of software aimed at someone who already owns a website, while its primary purpose is to improve upon current sales your making. You could also use it on an ordinary website, just because it looks cool.

The reason why this simple piece of software is so incredibly powerful is because the pop ups it generates are hidden in the code of your webpage. It uses a simple JavaScript code to generate the pop ups, so popup blockers over look this and think it’s something like Google ad sense, or a countdown timer.

This gives you two instant advantages you’ve never had before. The first being it looks nothing like a window, so people won’t close it. The second being it’s appearance. Since it uses flash and JavaScript you can get some really cool slick effects with it. It more compliments your website than interferes with it. That’s why many webmasters have had so much success and boosted sales using it.

Because of the very nature of how this works, it’s future-proofed in that respect too. No pop-up blockers ever going to be made will interfere with this, since it’s always going to be a part of the web site just like your banner or product pictures, not a popup or new window from your website.

In The Next Part I will Be shocking you with how easy it is to use!
