I’ve uploaded three videos to the Nickel Script web site that show you how to install, set up and use the Nickel Script. You can view them here:-

It’s starting at $5.02 and the faster you get there, the cheaper it will be.

(By the way, with any luck there will be a new version of the Nickel Script released on Monday.)

Okay, just a quick post to say that everything looks ready for the nickel sale for a set of 12 videos from Stan Craigie showing you how to use The GIMP, and ultimately putting together your own mini-sites.
In case you didn’t know, The GIMP is a free graphics tool that with each release gets closer to rivalling the enormously expensive Photoshop. You can even load most Photoshop format PSD files into The GIMP.
This means you can take advantage of the huge number of existing PSD files out there on the web and use them in your own creations. In fact I just checked my hard drive and I have resale rights for 40 graphics headers in PSD format.
I really want this sale to succeed for Stan, so I tell you what…

The other day Stan Craigie contacted me to let me know that he’d finally finished putting together a set of videos on how to create your own sales page graphics using a free graphics tool called The GIMP.
So I took a look at what he’d done, I was impressed (I didn’t know you could do that with The GIMP), and then I suggested he top it off by creating an additional video showing how to create your own sales page, which he’s now added to the set.
I won’t go through all the details, but the videos will show you how to create ebook covers and software boxes WITH reflections and shadows. He’ll also show you how to create sales page objects such as order buttons.

Some fun and games but it’s all working now. Better still, because of the PayPal IPN mess, we’ve added a new feature today.
Testing proved it worked for us, fingers crossed it continues to work in battle.

Don’t worry folks, it’s going to happen today regardless.
David is adding an extra feature which will allow you to switch on a workaround any time PayPal mess up IPN like they have today.
He’s working on it right now, so let’s say it’s a 5.00pm GMT launch to give him time to finish it and me give it a quick test.

It seems that PayPal have just yesterday broken IPN.

From what it says in that thread, it’s not affecting everyone, and it seems clear that PayPal don’t even know what’s causing the problem themselves.
Can you believe that?
Worse still, I checked the Nickel Script and every single transaction is going straight into the error file. David took a look, set it into sandbox mode and it works perfectly. He then put it back into live mode and it failed.

Last night, my final task was to move the domain from the test server to my dedicated server where the licence generator lives. I went to my domain registrar to change the name server addresses to point to the live machine and their site was down while undergoing maintenance.
Agghh!
Later this week, I’ll finally be launching the nickel sale for the nickel script itself.
I’ve added a few little tweaks to it since I used it last that I think you’re going to like. There’s one feature in particular that I know you’ll like a lot, and you can count on me to extend it with later versions.
In case you’re a new reader you don’t know what a nickel sale is, I’ll explain.

The list building nickel sale is now live. If you’re quick, you’ll get it for under $5.
If you’re very quick, you’ll get it for under $3.
