Q&A Have you purchased the bundle and haven't loaded it yet?

I just received a query and thought I'd post the answers because if one person is asking, more probably should be and aren't.

I put my product line on sale and sold a bundle of 44 products. The bundle was priced at $250 and 50% off for IPBC members: $125.00.

If you purchased that bundle, you've received learning products worth $950 retail for under $6.00 per video or other product. That was an awesome deal. I spent the past two years developing my learning products. They are content rich and if you're looking for how to learn to use QuickBooks properly with good internal controls, you're at the right place. It's not just how, it's why and when...

A customer emailed me this weekend to let me know that they watched my 10 videos from March 2011 and passed the Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor exam (the new one) because of what they learned from my videos... how great is that? I'm impressed, they actually got a slightly higher score than I did last week. In fact I am totally impressed!

If you missed the sale, the bundle price now sells for $290 for everything I created up to October 31, 2012.  That's $6.59 per unit of product. Still an awesome deal. The bundle is delivered to you via download using a service called www.e-junkie.com and I store the products in www.dropbox.com so I am not guaranteeing that this bundle will continue to exist in it's present form for more than 60 days.  I've offered to burn a DVD for $20.

If you haven't loaded your bundle, it's time you did that, or spend the $20 to purchase the DVD.

Buyer Beware:

You have 30 days to Download your products. Products are only available for 60 days from date of purchase. After that time, I do not promise products will continue to be available for replacement should you lose your products or not download them in a timely fashion. Please protect your purchases by backing up your products, or burn a DVD using Windows Explorer or other means.

I can't possibly be responsible for providing you with the videos over and over if your computer crashes, and if your system can't handle the size of the videos you store, I'm not willing to take responsibility, and that's why I promise to re-deliver, but only for 60 days from the date of your purchase. Please don't email me a year from now to complain you can't play something or you can't find the products on your new machine. There's likely nothing I will be able to do about it.

Here are my instructions about how to load the products:

Use Internet Explorer 9, as FireFox and Chrome don't work the same way and haven't worked for some people.

SAVE AS to a folder on your desktop or in your library (there's a Video folder in the Library, so create a folder in the Video Library if that works for you). Not everything is a video, there are Excel spreadsheets and other types of files.

Open each video to make sure it plays in Windows Media Player or an alternative player of your choice.

If you don't have IE 9 or WMP it may be necessary to convert the videos, and it may be that there are free conversion tools out there like FLV but I won't be responsible for conversion, as that isn't my expertise.

Feel free to burn your own DVD once you've copied the .wmv files to your computer.

Please respect copyright, of course, its the same as purchasing software, you can burn a copy but you can't distribute it to other people, you can keep a copy for your own use and to ensure you have a copy when you want to watch it.

It's only possible to play these videos or access the other data files as long as the technology exists that allows for that to happen.  I make no warranties about future technology working with this medium of delivery. Nor do I warranty that software will continue to work the way it did when I recorded these videos.

Yes, these products will take up space because they reside on your hard drive.

These aren't streaming video delivered via the web.  If you don't back them up, you'll lose them, and I may or may not have the video available to replace your product.

It's like going to the video store and purchasing a CD to play a movie.

For about $6.60 each.../ half that if you're a member of IPBC....

Your current CD player is compatible with the movie, you watch it, and if you bought it, as long as you continue to own the technology that plays that medium, you're fine. When that technology is replaced, you can't go back to the movie store to demand they replace your CD with the latest technology.  If only that were possible, someone would get very rich and everyone with an 8 track cassette would be demanding an upgrade.

Yes, at some point you won't be able to play these videos any more,

Please take advantge now,  watch and learn, ask questions, email me, post questions on this blog and if you're an IPBC member, talk to me on my Forum.
