FocalClick Re-design

[Chris_FC]

Hi Everyone,

Over the next couple months I will be changing around FocalClick. My plan is to make Focal Click a lot more user friendly, and to give you all the tools you need to promote our brands.

I'm reaching out today to ask you to give me you opinion on FocalClick. Both the interface and the back end.

- What can we do to improve the site and make it more affiliate friendly?
- What other type of marketing tools do you want to see?

Anything and everything you can think of would be awesome. Your the ones who are going to be using FocalClick, so why not help you create it!!!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts,

We might want to move this to the main thread or something as I think more feedback will come there for sure.

Hi Guys,

corpfan1-I wanted to post it here, not to bog down the main thread.

I'm very happy to see that you are going to spend some time improving the usability of the site - I think it is something that a lot of programs ought to be spending a lot more time on.

One thing that annoys the heck out of me with almost every single program out there is that nobody has taken the time to create a guide with a couple of 5 minute videos showing how to use their backend.

All I'm asking is a tab saying "video guides" and a bunch of short videos showing how to do basic stuff like:

• How to create a text affiliate link.
• How to modify an affiliate link, so it sends the visitor to a subpage.
• How to get a banner.
• How to see if the affiliate links are working.
• How to find the most important traffic numbers.
• How to request payment.

Why I think this is needed
It is easy to get things mixed up when you are working with 10-20 different programs that all has similar but slightly different backends. It is not a "big" problem, just like it isn't a big problem when I can't remember where I put the stapler and has to spend a few minutes looking for it. It is, however, really, really annoying, and I can only imagine what it must be like for someone who doesn't speak fluent English.

I'm not asking for super slick videos with professional voiceover or anything like that, just some quick stuff made in an afternoon with a 30$ microphone and Camtasia.

I really like that idea.

Something we actually thought of doing, but was unsure if anyone would actually watch the videos.

Keep the ideas coming.
