I checked out Upflame but its site is almost an exact duplicate of Optimizepress.com and that alarmed me. It makes me feel the Upflame product is just a licensed rebranding of Optimizepress.

I won’t be touching it.

Hi Ina,

I noticed the UpFlame software system when it was used on a launch on something last year and I signed up at the site to receive future info. I got the email last week about the launch

As you say it’s not a WordPress theme it’s more like a mini WYSIWYG editor “What You See Is What You Get” ( e.g. Dreamweaver and the like which is what I was using before I discovered the joys of WordPress) but this is specifically aimed at creating ‘Launch’ style sites and all that they entail. It’s a Sales Page/Sales Funnel creation software application.

The ‘look’ of the pages you can create with the software is seriously nice – as a designer first and foremost I was real impressed. For the price, which is about the same as a decent WordPress theme I would say this is a good buy if you are only into launches and don’t want to use WordPress. ALSO the video on the Sales page is professionally shot and put together – it won’t look that nice with a poorly edited YouTube video ( just sayin’).

My only caveat would be that it’s not WordPress! So you can’t add all the other cool functionality that you can with WordPress ( plugins/blogs/membership sites etc. etc.) but if you just want to sell your own products on the web ( e-books, courses whatever) this would give your potential customer a great first impression. However so do the WP Themes I mention above. It’s a quality product but as it’s not WordPress so it won’t be in my arsenal of web creation tools.

Check out what I mean re the video on their Sales Page below …

Hi. Can you do a review of the Upflame theme? It is not dependent on the WordPress platform, though.

Hi Jay, tried to email you but the .mac email you posted with comes back as ‘undeliverable’.

Sounds tasty Clive, especially outside of the ‘millionaire overnight’ niche. So, did you expand on your thoughts in another post?
Thanks for the Like t’other day by the way.
Are you up for a gas?
Jay.

I just got access to another Launch Theme from Andy Fletcher called DigiLaunch – I’ll have a play with this one and get back to you

Here’s an idea! What if you created a Squeeze Page, sales funnel, for somebody else’s product or product launch?

Capture their email address ( for follow ups), and give them good info. If I’d been on the ball I could have created my own video ‘training’ funnel for, say, OptimizePress and got it ranked high and made affiliate commissions that way.

While this is hard to do in the Internet Marketing – Make Money Online – marketplace what if you did it for a Clickbank affiliate program about ‘building garden sheds’ or WHATEVER!

Then use my clever Clickbank trick to bypass the Vendor’s crappy Sales Page and go straight to the ClickBank payment page with your affiliate link embedded? WOH! Hmmm, I need to think this one through…
