Thanks for the post - usually we do these kind of reviews once you hit 20 posts so you kind of earn your way in... but you're not that far off!

Hi Jason,

Yes Herts Web Hosting is my new venture. It's still a little rough around the edges and needs a bit of polish :wink:

My primary business is Infinity Seo which has done well in its first year but as business has grown i needed an automated billing system for the hosting side of the business.

So far, I like the color scheme ;)

Hi Jason,

Thanks for feedback. I had a look at Ryzeonline earlier and must say that your promo video is 'outside the box' Creates curiosity and the 'cant have it right now'..........

I have a lot of contacts in psychology/counselling, one of which advises marketing teams. Going to let her take a look and see what she makes of it.

Going to be a love or hate answer.

Thanks so much, I'm thrilled any time I make an impact (love or hate :P). The home page will be changing pretty drastically next week, so hope she gets a look at it :D

I love "changing the game" and bringing fresh ideas to anything and everything, so it feels like mission accomplished :)

Thanks so much, Evan! You and the community here rock so hard.

It was kind of a quiet, ninja-launch, and I'm trusting my friends, connections, and list to spread the word :)

It does have some serious impact tho : http://ryzeonline.com :D

Hi Jason,

Sat and had a good look at your site with a friend. She asked what demographic you are targeting and suggested that from a psychology point of view that the site would probably favour a 20-30 year old male market.

Love the site and im 40, gives a feel good outlook on life, all good. :D

Thanks so much Herts! I really appreciate it :D

You rock!

Demographics is a funny thing, (and reminds me of this - http://www.ryanhanley.com/2012/02/08/ig ... der-first/ ) - personally I feel 'traditional' ways of handling demographics are way outdated, but I won't get into that here :D

That being said, you and your friend are right, mostly :) I aim for 25-35 year olds who feel younger or want to feel younger.

The tagline on the main page, based off of Evan's advice is "Helping young, urban entrepreneurs ryze beyond plateaus."

In fact, often attract people like yourself who are "out of my age range" as far as standard demographics go, but to me and many others, age is a state of mind.

Hi Jason,

I just posted a link to your site in a Facebook group after one of the members commented on your latest post on my site...

That's when I noticed you'd updated the site.

This new version is MUCH better. I'd like to hear what Evan has to say, but the message is now very clear and the call to action much stronger - I love the graduated price points on the products and services beneath the video and the one-field-only form above.

===

As for demographics and age range, I agree with Hert's (Hi, Herts, Welcome to the forum - you started on a good thread here! 8) ) friend's general view of the demographic, but I'm One Step Beyond Herts when it comes to being outside the zone... No sweat.

Thanks so much, David, I really really appreciate it.

Everyone here's so supportive, and I'm eager to put all the advice into action. (I haven't taken action on your tips for my How To Be Real blueprint yet, because I was focused on all these other changes lol).

Evan's advice has been super helpful and I'm already seeing results, it'd be great if he checks back on the main page and sees what's been done.

As for you and Herts + friends, clearly I'm age in-discriminant so it works for us all ;)

P.S. I'm having a blast posting on your site :)
